So instead of an " I Quit" match we'll get a "You're the best Wrestler In The World" match at Night Of Champions? I can just imagine: We're at Night of Champions and the bell rings to start the match between Punk and Cena in an I Quit Match. Before they lock up, Punk stares down Cena from the far end of the corner and yells:Punk: Hey Cena!...what type of match is this AGAIN? Cena: I QUIT! Referee: Ring the bell! We have a winner! Punk wins and retains the championship ;D

I thought it was an alright Raw. The main event didn't do anything for me, but what followed was great. Great heel heat for Punk on that one. I also really liked Triple H's promo, probably my favorite segment of the night. Jesus, I'm sorry, but they are freaking drawing this thing out. With a dead-silent crowd. Just like every Triple H promo that lasted over 90 seconds. Are you serious? They were chanting Triple H, You Can Do It, Thank You Hunter, throughout the whole thing! wow! he's not burying anyone! ![:'(](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/cry.gif) so beautiful. Right, because he totally buried Lesnar at Summerslam.

All I can say is, its a sure thing now that Punk is losing at NOC. They gotta feed the bully heel to the super man to over come the odds for the kids!

Punk's extremely hot right now and I don't know if the WWE is going to have him lose to Cena.........at Night of Champions, that is.

I turned Raw off after what they did to Bryan and Truth. Terrible.

This show in one word: not-so-bad-raw-but-probably-not-worth-watching-for-3-hours. So pretty much like EVERY episode since the 3 hour switch. The revert back to two hours can't come soon enough, hopefully WWE come to their senses.
- Lawler must be banging Vince, I simply do not see how a 60-something disinterested commentator has been given this much exposure in the last few years. WHAT IS GOING ON!? - Kane/ Bryan at anger management was awesome, exceeded all my expectations. - Punk's getting back into the swing of things and is feeling like a BAMF again, but he totally copied Cena's haircut! - HHH segment was really good. - I'm a 21 year old guy with what I'd like to think is good taste in TV, I admit, I found the Santino segment hilarious. Sue me, I love Santino.
Okay episode, but it didn't feel like much went on. How we're getting the same number of feuds and neglecting half the roster despite the 1 hour increase in running time is just mind boggling.

Nothing spectacular tonight, but not bad.
Opening segment was good, but not great. I'm sick of Lawler in every capacity, and I'm not a fan of the direction they're taking Punk.
Glad to see Ryback regularly facing normal talent now. Shame that he knocked off Swagger with ease.
Hated the way Vickie interrupted the diva's match. It made no sense, and it made the crowd completely disinterested in the match. People were just waiting for Vickie. Horrible decision all the way around. If you want the diva's division to be that much of an afterthought, just get rid of it and stop leading these girls along.
Good match between Cena and Miz. Didn't see much of a reason for it to happen, though, and it kills a lot of Miz's momentum.
Decent tag match with Rhodes/Sandow and Clay/Sin Cara. Wasn't a fan of the finish. Don't think Rhodes should be losing to Clay.
I wasn't big on Bryan's anger management stuff at all until Kane showed up, which is saying something, because I don't care for Kane. His recount of the root of his anger issues was absolutely hilarious, though.
Santino/Slater did nothing for me, but I'm glad they're putting some effort into a US Title feud. Would've liked to have seen Cesaro attack Santino post-match.
Wasn't big on the way Truth/Bryan was handled, but I loved the exchange on commentary between Kofi and Josh - talking about the tag division in general, and mentioning Kidd/Gabriel as well. Glad to see some effort being put into the tag division.
Triple H promo was solid. You could tell he was really genuinely emotional, even if this isn't the end. Served it's purpose without making anything final. We haven't seen the last of him, obviously.
Solid tag team match for Sheamus/Orton and Del Rio/Ziggler. Hated the fact that Ziggler took the pin for Sheamus again. It's getting old, but not as old as Sheamus/Del Rio. Had no interest two months ago, have no interest now.
Thought the Ryder/Otunga match and Kane involvement was more or less a waste.
Wasn't keen on the main event, but seeing Punk beat the living hell out of Lawler was great. I can't stand King. I'd dare to say there are few people currently employed by WWE that I like less. I can only hope this gets him off TV for a long while.
Again, I hate the direction Punk is taking. Turn him heel, fine, but there's no reason for him to be a coward. It makes no sense, it's uncalled for, and it's so damn stereotypical. Punk is too good to be cookie-cutter, and that's exactly what they're doing to him. He locks himself in a cage with Lawler, beats the holy hell out of him, but then runs away as soon as John Cena gets in the ring. Why? It's like WWE is too afraid to have a heel that doesn't fit the generic, cowardly stereotype.
Also, no Big Show tonight was a huge plus.

Awesome main event.
Brutal, and is helping get the champ over as a heel.
Good stuff.

Not a bad Raw. Not the best but better than last week. Loved the stuff with Lawler and Punk. Punk really kicked up the intensity tonight and I loved it.
The stuff with Bryan was funny but could have been better. I hate that the focus went more to Kane and I wish that he'd just go away. I can't take him serious anymore.
I love the way they are building Ryback.
I'm starting to buy Kofi and Truth as a team.

I gasped when Swagger nearly killed himself on the back body drop.

Boring RAW except for Kane.
I love Layla.
And Vickie Guerrero is the worst thing on TV right now, actually, the worst thing since Hitler. F*** off already.

alright show last night.... why the hell did Miz lose to Cena? there was no reason for it. Miz is the INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION....he doesn't need to face Cena in any capacity, let alone lose, and of course losing the same way as always (beats up Cena most of the match, Cena hits his sequence and it's over) That was a ![](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/wfcensored.gif) ing TERRIBLE booking decision. What makes it worse is that those 2 have great matches, then it's killed by Cena just do the same exact thing he does in every match...and winning. Ryback/Swagger was just a sloppy mess. Maybe Swag was high? lulz. Time to move on, have him go away for a bit and come back re-packaged. He is so talented, but is just being wasted. I'm so done with Santino. Slater is WAY more entertaining at this point. He's just so awkward, it's fantastic. He should have won. Santino literally does 4 moves in every single match he's had. It's horrendous Kane running through basically his entire career storyline was pretty funny. Definitley a highlight, and I'm glad it seems like they are setting something up with him & Ryder. Maybe using Kane to now help Ryder get over again is a good idea. David Otunga needs to grow the goatee back. He looks like a little kid without it, not intimidating at all. and can he please WIN A GOD DAMN MATCH ALREADY? ![???](http://www.wrestlingfigs.com/images/huh.gif) ? Once again another show dominated by faces. Yea the ending was cool, and it was absolutely the final nail in Punk's heel turn and eventual title loss at NOC. I was surprised by the blood, and I liked how they made it more serious by Cena telling the boys to raise the cage and with him saying "that was over the line Punk" etc. But there is a REASON the crowds don't get into things, the WWE does nothing of merit with heels anymore. There is hardly a reason for anyone to boo....thus no one wants to cheer either. All the heels do is come out and say something insulting to the crowd, then they lose. It's an awful way to book wrestling storylines. I don't know why everything's changed so drastically over the last year, but I don't like where it's going. All I expect to see on RAW now is just the good guys winning 90% of the time and it's BORING. It's gotten to the point where I would be legit SHOCKED if The Miz won a match vs. Cena.....and the Miz was WWE Champion for like 6 months. That's not right.

I don't see what Punk did "cowardly." I mean sure he rolled out of the ring when Cena came in but he didn't haul ass up the ramp either.
Also...Don't touch me Harold!

Not a bad RAW. Some sloppy booking (Miz losing for no reason AGAIN) but it was good. Seemed to drag on a little longer than other weeks though. Highlights of the night were Cena/Miz, Kane, and Punk destroying Lawler. I've enjoyed Punk's turn so far. It's kind of like he's been driven off the deep end from the lack of 'respect.' Also I love how mixed his reactions are because one moment he's being 100% cheered and the next it's 100% boos.

Some sloppy booking (Miz losing for no reason AGAIN) I'm so tired of this. He's their IC champion, for crying out loud! They have him lose every week until it's time for him to retain his title. The matches he's losing, just don't need to happen. I wonder if, backstage it goes like this?: "Well, The Miz isn't on tonight." "Neither is Kane." "Hey, I know! Let's have Kane (the one who is older, not in-need of a push, and doesn't need the win) randomly defeat The Miz (The IC champion, who still gets heat despite the way we use him. And who could use a win to make him look like a credible champion.)"

I thought the Anger Management Scenes were amazing. Daniel Bryan is by far the best thing going right now. Love the direction his character is going with this whole Anger Management ordeal. It's clever too, because as much as the Crowd love him, the whole Crowd chanting Yes against his wishes stops him turning babyface and keeps him a Heel. He's starting to remind me of a 2001 Kurt Angle in his Promos/Skits.
