BarrettBarrage Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I thought this was a pretty bad edition of Raw, there was so much filler put in there. The Daniel Bryan stuff dragged on a bit too long as well. Although the stuff with Cesaro was brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximus Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Second that for boring show. They only highlights were Daniel Bryan/Cesaro and the Brie Bella nip slip. Even the Punk stuff seemed boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Anyone get the feeling that the 30 minutes of DB at the end may have been a ratings test to see whether the want to put the belt on Bryan or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaran The King Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 In reality can we really see the Bryan winning at Summerslam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 He's more credible than most of the recent challengers given his popularity so in my opinion yes, he's got a shot as long as the crowds remain hot for him and the ratings this week don't stink in the final segments.

StefanC Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I just realized: Where was Big Show??? I thought he was returning to RAW this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun2J Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 He isn't fully healed, so they pushed his return back. Cesaro vs. Bryan was ace, dem European Uppercuts! It's really good that they gave Bryan the last hour and awarding Cesaro too for his previous matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxximus Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Daniel Bryan won't win at SummerSlam. If he does I hope Orton cashes in on him. Not because I dislike Bryan but because I love him. Bryan to win the Rumble/lose at Mania/win the title the next night on Raw. I'm not the mole Believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan to win the Rumble/lose at Mania/win the title the next night on Raw. Believe. I'd be totally down with: -Bryan beats Cena -Orton cashes in and takes the strap -Bryan gets p*ssed and vows to regain the title -DB wins the Rumble -Bryan wins at Mania (while I watch in glee from the crowd) -???? -Profit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaran The King Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Knowing WWE's form can we really see Daniel Bryan in a prominent role at WM30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepsi Twist Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I could have watched D Bryan all night, he was awesome! And Cesaro of course. My favourite match of the year so far anyway. I don't see him winning the title (YET!) but it's possible, he's soooo popular, everyone loves him, and he can deliver in the ring and on the mic. Plus Cena doesn't seem to have much to do really, he's just picking a new opponent for each PPV (I know that's kind of how it works, but it feels pretty empty. He beat Rock - hasn't been seen since. He beat Mark Henry - Mark forgets him and turns face. Had a little series with Ryback, who now can't even come in fresh and beat D Bryan after an epic war with Cesaro.). Anyway I'd like to see Daniel win it, and I will have hope! The rest of RAW was pretty standard fare though, I really wish Wade Barrett would get to do something.

dsrchris Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Knowing WWE's form can we really see Daniel Bryan in a prominent role at WM30? Yes. Yes I can. Because you have to keep at least a little faith, otherwise what's the point in watching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciaran The King Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I have lots of faith but WWE keeps taking it from me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruderz Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I think I'm well in the minority here, but I just can't get behind Daniel Bryan like everyone else can. I mean, I know he's good (both in ring and on mic - to say otherwise just isn't true) but I just can't click with him. Would still love to see him take the title from Cena, although I doubt it will happen. An alright episode of RAW this week. No where near as good as recent weeks but I enjoyed it. I am actually starting to enjoy Cena's work and Christian is always fun to watch. Really looking forward to Punk/Brock. I can see Brock beating Punk actually, leaving serious doubts in Punk's head as to whether or not he truly is the BITW and then becoming obsessed with beating Brock like HBK was obsessed with getting that rematch against the Undertaker.

Fatherof10minis Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I skipped out on alot of this raw. Cesaro/Bryan had me glued. Cesaro was so good I actually wanted to see him go over bryan even though that was clearly not an option. I really thought this was where we would see a returning Big Show and then only to be interrupted by the Wyatts who jump their next monster, Big Show. The other angle I love is Mark Henry and The Shield. As much as I would like to see the Usos and Henry vs. the Shield I really think it would be sweet for Henry to take them on alone in some type of match. Whether it be Gauntlet or handicap or whatever I really think crowds would jump even more on the Henry bandwagon if he was put in this position because to me it is somewhat beleivable that he could take all 3 of the Shield on alone.

Jimmy Redman Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Daniel Mofoing Bryan. I should just have a GIF made that I can stamp every thread for a show he appears on with and be done with it. That ruled and ruled hard. The two best workers in the world get 20 minutes on Raw. Love your work Double Double E. Sheamus/Alberto was also kind of fun and Sheamus deadlifting Alberto and punching his face in to escape was by far my favourite thing all night. Along with the return of "MY HEART DON'T PUMP KOOL AID." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciaran The King Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Haven't got round to seeing Bryan/Cesaro yet but I'm excited to see it. Loved Sheamus/ADR, Sheamus has turned into such a good worker over the last two years. Liked the Mark Henry part but hated it when the Usos arrived, they just don't belong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Redman Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Of course it wasn't, they'd been complete afterthoughts stuck on Superstars until about five minutes ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 According to Meltz... (Mark Henry/Usos related) The Usos took the spot of Big Show who was going to make his big return by saving Henry leading to a 2 v 3 handicap match at Summerslam. They'll probably end up going that way when Show is healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
