Mr. McMahon returned to Raw last week to shake things up, and it resulted int a crazy street fight between he and Punk.  The two beat the hell out of each other (more punishment than Punk should have taken from a 67 year old man imo).  Vince bled.  He did a crazy dive over the announce table.  Punk was in control when Ryback came out and ran him off.  But Cena chased Punk back into the ring.  Ryback was about to hit the Shell Shock but Punk escaped through the crowd where he proceeded to beat the hell out of a fan.

Mr. McMahon said that Punk needed to learn some respect, and that at Hell in a Cell, he must make a decision of who he will face, either John Cena or Ryback.  He must make that decision tonight or Mr. McMahon will make it for him.

The real decision comes down to John Cena's doctor checkup today.  Depending on the report will decide who Punk faces at Hell in a Cell.  For all involved, I hope Cena will be able to go at Hell in a Cell because Ryback v Punk is no good for anyone.  I won't speculate beyond that at this point because this is not a WWE decision.  This is strictly based on Cena's health.

The other big news for tonight is we will have the finals of the WWE Tag Team Tournament with The Rhodes Scholars vs Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara.  I expect Rhodes Scholars to get the win and go on to face Team Hell No at Hell in a Cell.

I'm not sure what else will happen tonight other than the normal Divas match, a Santino segment getting beat up by The Band, and probably bad comedy from Sheamus.

It's not confirmed, but I believe it will again be Cole, JR, and JBL on commentary.

Last night was TNA Bound for Glory, their equivalent to WrestleMania.  It was a pretty good show, but nothing that people will remember for years to come.  Unfortunately, with Aces and 8's winning their match, their storyline will continue to cast a dark shadow over the entire TNA product.
  • Rob Van Dam d Zema Ion to win the X Division Title.  The crowd loved this opener, specifically RVD, despite the match not being that good.  Ion losing the title probably means Jesse Sorenson is nowhere near returning.  The X Division means nothing right now after being so hot a few months ago leading into Destination X.
  • Samoa Joe d Magnus to retain the TV Title.  Good match.  Joe looked very good.  Crowd was into Joe.
  • James Storm d Bobby Roode in a street fight.  The feud a year in the making went on 3rd on the show.  A wild, ECW brawl.  Not much of a match.  Just a lot of weapon spots.  Storm bladed like a madman.  Roode brought out the thumbtacks, but Storm threw him onto them.  Finish saw Roode bring a 6 pack of beer into the ring.  Storm stopped him with a low blow, cracked a beer bottle over Roode's head, and then hit the Last Call Superkick on Roode who fell onto the tacks.  King Mo played no role in the match and was a complete waste.
  • Joey Ryan d Al Snow to win a TNA contract.  Matt Morgan came through the crowd and hit the Carbon Footprint on Snow to let Ryan get the win.  Crowd didn't care about this match and Ryan didn't look very good.
  • Chavo Guerrero & Hernandez d Kurt Angle & AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels & Kazarian to win the Tag Team Titles.  Match started slow but got crazy in end thanks to the four men who lost the match.  Chavo hit a frog splash on Daniels to get the win.  Crowd was not happy with Chavo and Hernandez winning until they were forced to be nice to Chavo when he said the win was for Eddie.
  • Tara d Miss Tessmacher to win the Knockouts Title.  Match was fine but forgettable.  Miss Tessmacher missed a top rope elbow and Tara hit the Widows Peak to get the win.  After the match, she brought out here Hollywood boyfriend, Jesse from Big Brother 10.  He was greeted with "Who Are You?" chants.
  • Aces and 8's d Sting and Bully Ray.  They brawled around, but nothing like the brawl between Storm and Roode.  Another member of Aces and 8's ran in (Wes Brisco) and spit at Joe Park who was handcuffed at ringside.  Park flipped out and beat Brisco to the back.  Bully brought a table in the ring, but another member of Aces and 8's ran in and hit a spinebuster on Bully through the table allowing Aces and 8's to get the win.  All of Aces and 8's hit the ring.  Hogan came out and they all ran at him one at a time and got knocked out from a punch.  Finally, they got the last masked man.  Sting held him and Hogan unmasked him to reveal Devon Dudley.  He said he was behind this all along.  Sting, Hogan, and Bully looked on in shock as he left through the crowd.  The crowd chanted "This Is Awkward".  Devon was revealed, but he is not the actual top leader of Aces and 8's.  That will still likely be Bischoff.
  • Jeff Hardy d Austin Aries to win the TNA Heavyweight Championship.  Very good match.  Aries was great.  Hardy's best match in ages thanks to working hard with Aries.  Crowd was very behind Aries despite him supposed to be heel, though Hardy did get a pretty good pop at the end.  Aries hit the Brainbuster but Hardy kicked out.  Hardy hit the double Twist of Fate and the Swanton to get the win.
Samoa Joe was the only champion to retain his title on the show.

I would like to say I am looking forward to Impact, but I already know it's going to be completely focused on Aces and 8's which is a huge turnoff for me.  They now have "full access" to the Impact Zone.

Two different scripts for tonight's show were written over the last few days.  One script is contingent upon Cena getting an evaluation today that he will be ready by the 28th.  The other is contingent that he won't.  In storyline, either Punk will be in some form pressured into picking Cena, or avoiding Cena.  The storyline won't be that Cena is injured and can't take the match, although it is possible they could shoot an angle where Punk agrees and then Cena gets attacked to take him out, but I don't think they'd do it that way.  But if Cena isn't the opponent at the end of the night, it's because he won't be ready.
 
Bumping from last week's thread:


Crowd looking pretty good for BFG.
I went to BFG last night, and was very surprised by this cause I've been to numerous wrestling events here in Arizona and wouldn't consider fans to be (in general) "smaks." However, I don't know how it looked on TV but on the main camera side of the arena, it was completely empty, I'd say about 65% of the (small) arena was full (they probably just moved a bunch of people over). But the crowd that was there was loud and very knowledgeable of the TNA product.

Funny 4w how you said Tenay didn't know how to react to the Aries love, they tried desperately to get the fans to boo him. About 10min before the PPV aired Aries came out and cut a heel promo about PHX and being the Greatest Man that Ever Lived. Didn't work. He was almost drowned out by the loud "Ar-ies" chants. From start to finish the audience was loud.

Side note: The Storm/Roode & Triple Threat tag matches were absolutely incredible. Two of the best matches I've ever seen live. Wow.

Biggest Pops:
RVD
Sting
Hogan
Hardy/Aries

Biggest Heat:
Jessie from Big Brother
Zema Ion
Aces & 8s

see... in all honesty. Instead of movies and MORE wrestling... This is what they should get into. Live events, concerts and such. I approve of this.

And for the record, speaking of live events, I honestly loved XFL.

- F4Wonline.com reports that CM Punk’s Hell In a Cell announcement is scheduled for the 9pm timeslot for tonight’s RAW. They also report that Vince McMahon is scheduled to appear on RAW tonight.
 
Possible Spoiler on who Punk will choose

In a possible spoiler, CM Punk cut a promo at the beginning of Friday night’s WWE Supershow in Jonesboro, Arkansas and told fans that he would be defending the WWE Title against Cena at Hell In a Cell.
 
I haven't started Raw yet so I don't know if an announcement has been made, but I just want to say that if Ryback is chosen for HIAC, he's winning the title.  I will guarantee that.

If it's Cena, Punk will retain.
