Raw Review

I have to give WWE credit for putting one of the best editions of Raw in quite some time, tonight saw many entertaining angles as well as some great steps forward in the story lines.

The opening segment set the pace for the rest of the night, WWE put Nexus over strong with last weeks accomplishments which given the accomplishments were not that great WWE made a big deal over it. Definately the right thing to do, Nexus lost quite a bit of momentum after the SummerSlam disaster so tonight was a good night to right that wrong.

Jericho and Edge had to protect there spots in the 6 pack challenge match at Night Of Champions in separate single matches, both of which were entertaining for different reason. Jericho lost to John Morrison in a good match which will probably lead to one of two things. 1. Jericho going on a break or 2. Jerichos' return to being a babyface. The Edge match was entertaining also for 2 two reason his mocking of his opponent The Great Khali and the scramble to protect Khali's botch when he eliminated himslef from the over the top rope match by accident.... yes the match continued.

The Miz vs Daniel Bryan for the US Title has been made in decent angle featuring a great Miz promo, where Michael Cole added some great commentary. Bryan went over strong taking on Miz and Riley in a after promo brawl. Strangely during this period Miz's MITB briefcase popped open to reveal there is in fact no contract in it.

Gabriel vs Cena was a decent match which is surprising for Cena. The match featured some great spots by Gabriel. He was booked to actually pose a challenge to Cena. The main event saw Wade Barret vs Randy Orton the match was not great and the fact that Darren Young returned to cost Barret the match was just irritating and doesn't really bode well for The Nexus to continue feuding with the 'WWE'.

The night ended with Orton and Cena staring off after Orton RKO'd all the other 5 pack challengers. Next week the main event will be Randy Orton vs John Cena in a one on one match its a decent main event which I doubt WWE will actually go ahead with as it would be wrong to give this match away for free with the buy rates down for their PPV's.

Overall it was a very good Raw with some annoyances but thats to be expected. To separate all the in ring action was some quite funny backstage skits.
