Main Event of Raw tonight

World Tag Team Title Match - Ted Dibiase & Cody Rhodes v John Cena & Batista

If Cena & Batista win the titles, that just shits all over the push Dibiase & Rhodes have had

[Gre]

I agree, and don't think the titles are moving, through some kind of screwjob/DQ/no contest. My money is on Kane interferring again.

Haven't seen TNA for a few weeks, should be able to watch it this coming week

I hope Flair has been released from WWE if he doesn't need the steady income because WWE have been dicks not letting him go to the NWA hall of fame

EDIT- WWE have confirmed it now

Statement from Flair

WWE and I parted on the best of terms. This gives me the chance to pursue new opportunities...corporate speaking engagements, product sponsorships, autograph shows for my loyal fans (who made me what I am today) and film and television roles. My agent and I are very excited about what the future holds!

From reading WWE.com as well it seems to be leaning towards Jericho challenging Punk at Summerslam

I agree, he's the most over heel in the company, and to rush Jericho v HBK again would be a mistake, that should be held off until Survivor Series I think

So if it is Jericho v Punk, will Jericho win the title?

I think he needs to, Punk can always win the title again in the future he has loads of time to be built up again, but Jericho's time is now, and he needs to win that title

[Sparticus]

agreed, whilst cm punk does need time to become a valid main eventer, jericho should have been that valid main eventer ever since he became the undisputed champion, and somehow they botched it up. Also, jericho having the title could lead to a series of matches between him and punk, which would ultimately bring back michaels and put the belt back on cm punk, as y2j can put on a good match and would definately work well with cm punk, and at least give him a bit of credability. If anyone remembers when john cena was coming up the ranks, his matches with kurt angle really helped put him over.

I personally think that Flair getting released from this contract can only be a good thing. As it was, the wwe would bring him out every other month or so to do bullshit angles (like stand there and woo while vince fumbles on the phone), without actually doing very much. This way, he gets to go off, make a decent amount off signings and appearances, get inducted into a bunch of hall of fames; and then come back to the wwe in a couple of years to be set for the rest of his life. That way, it'll be a huge return, and actually mean something.

I hope the title doesn't change hands - Punk losing it just kills him & puts him right back to Kennedy/Umaga levels, they need to have a longer program, and if Jericho is to be portrayed well as a champion, he needs to win it in a match that is higher than 3rd or even 4th on the card.

But Jericho has never had the run at main event level, he's paid his dues he's done the time, he deserves that title and have a run with it, his last run with the title and his only run with the main title not the WCW title, was 3 months long with some bullshit angle between Steph and HHH buring him

Jericho is way over right now and deserves the title more than Punk, if Punk is over and he is, he can win the title back along the line undamaged, Punk is on a higher level than Kennedy & Umaga, Kennedy bores the hell out of me, and he will never be world champion In my eyes, he may get the ECW title down the line, and if he steps up his game a lot, maybe be world title level someday, Umaga is a great talent but I don't know if he'll be world champion, Punk is world champion material, he has a strong fanbase, would be a merchadise shifter and can give you an exciting match, he reminds me of this generations Bret Hart for some reason

Im not saying Punk isn't over as champion, he is, but he won't drop down if he loses the title to Jericho, Jericho is a massive star and many of the fans know how he's been shit on in the past, right now on Raw he is the only choice in my eyes and f**k Batista or Cena they don't need the title right now, Jericho could win the strap and hold it until next WrestleMania and finally do the big return match against Cena, and along the way Jericho can fued with HBK, Batista, Punk and get over as a huge heel

A Jericho-Cena World Title match at Mania would do better than a Batista-Cena match, Batista can turn heel and face Shawn Michales at Mania that in my eyes is an unfinished fued also

[Uncle Liam]

Raw is ADAMLE~!

And what an inspired pick for GM. The man has finally found his niche. He should be GM forever...

[luckysalt]

ABSOLUTE w*nk

JBL v Punk at summerslam

Cena/batista win the tag titles

exactly what I was worried would happen did

[Sparticus]

The only way they can save this is having jericho as a guest ref or something along those lines, as jbl vs punk has already been done, and is hardly a match that's going to make punk look good. The posing at the end of raw was very tedious, and jericho looked like a muppet with trunks lol

Poor Chris Harris, shit on TNA to leave for WWE, and then WWE do nothing with him, debut him on ECW then release him, thats his career in the major leagues f**ked

[luckysalt]

f**ks sake I was really enjoying the team of JR/Foley on Smackdown and now look at what Foleys said, theres been rumblings all week but now he's confirmed it

"I can't say much until after my contract expires, which is September 1st. But at this point, there is a good chance, through mutual agreement, that I will not be renewing the contract. Creatively, the announcing job wasn't working out too well."

[luckysalt]

Its on livefooty

Im taping it, I have Setanta but I'll be f**ked if im watching live 3am until 6am

[Uncle Liam]

I considered getting Setenta for a month, but then i heard horror stories of them not letting you cancel your subscription. I could see it boiling down to me saying "look, son, your Premiership games are mostly shite, I dont like Gaelic Football and I only want to watch Brock and GSP and then cancel it, and I've seen all the Ultimate fighter shows so dont try that angle"

[luckysalt]

I think Setanta is fantastic value for money myself, but each to their own

[Halcyon]

to watch Brock and GSP
