RAW IS BEING TAPED IN LONDON.

KEEP ANY SPOILERS FOR TONIGHT'S SHOW IN SPOILER TAGS

AND

ANY DISCUSSIONS OF SPOILERS ALSO IN SPOILER TAGS.

Last week we all suffered through one of the worst Raw's in recent memory.  Throw out the overall boring three hour, twenty minute show with a completely dead crowd, the real problem was the completely idiotic booking of the show with Dolph Ziggler losing clean in his first match on Raw since finally winning the World Title after months of jobbing.  So it looks like that trend will just continue despite now being the World Champion.  We also had Wade Barrett (Intercontinental Champion) lose clean to R-Truth.  Antonio Cesaro lost his United States Title to Kofi Kingston, though he did get to yodel.  This is actually probably a good thing for Cesaro, and now Kofi can go on a massive losing streak.  And for good measure, Kaitlyn, the Divas Champion in case you were unaware, lost to one of the Bellas after they did Twin Magic.

We also had a brutal Fandango segment where WWE tried to tell us just how cool and hip Fandango'ing was (something that never works when WWE tries forcing something organic down our throats).  A Ryback promo that while good, went way too long and didn't feel natural at all.  And John Cena cutting a comedy promo face to face with Ryback, the man we're supposed to believe is going to beat Cena for the title at Extreme Rules.

Oh, and of course we get Brock vs HHH PART 3... a match that no one wants to see.

Tonight on Raw, we have:
  • A very, very rare Undertaker match on Raw.  If he actually wrestles remains to be seen, but he is advertised for the six man tag match of Taker and Team Hell No vs The Shield.
  • HHH will announce if he will accept Paul Heyman's and Brock Lesnar's challenge of a steel cage match at Extreme Rules.
  • Fandango has new theme music.  If you haven't heard it yet, it's basically his original music sped up with more of a disco beat, and get this... it has the crowd singing along already piped in.  Terrible.
  • All negatives aside, we should have an absolutely electric crowd tonight in London which should make the show a lot of fun.  But even with that, there is a negative as we'll have to hear Jerry Lawler insult the crowd all night long.
 
Rosa Mendes Sent Home

Milena Roucka (Rosa Mendes) returned to the U.S. yesterday from the current WWE European tour.

It was reported she was sent home due to partying issues on various web sites.  One WWE source noted nothing was officially said past there was an issue that was taken care of.

WWE's public statement was that Roucka left the tour for personal reasons.
 
E! to Debut WWE Divas Reality Show (WWE Network Further Delayed)

The E! Network and WWE today announced a new summer reality show called "Total Divas," a reality show that will focus on the lives in and out of the ring of seven WWE women, including introduce two newcomers.

The series was originally earmarked for the WWE Network, which seems to indicate they are a long way from getting it off the ground.  The show will faeture The Bella Twins, Natalya, Naomi and Cameron as the WWE stars and introduce Natalie Eva Marie (Eva Marie) and Joseann Offerman (Jo-Jo Offerman) as new women, two models with athletic backgrounds, as the newcomers on the show.  Marie and Offerman were from the Southern California camp of models that Bill DeMott had been training who were then brought to Southern California where the two women deemed the best prospects were chosen for the show.  Both had about a month of pro wrestling training in California. 
 
The Rock Admits WrestleMania May Have Been His Last Match

In an interview with Peter Rosenberg this morning, Dwayne Johnson admitted publicly for the first time it was possible his match with John Cena at WrestleMania could be his last.

Rosenberg brought up the stories that he had walked out on Raw and that the finish for WrestleMania was changed -- both of which were ridiculous since Rock pointed out putting over Cena at the end of the program was the plan from day one.  

He said Vince McMahon, HHH, C.M. Punk and John Cena were aware he was injured the night of WrestleMania, and he was checked for a hernia by the WWE doctors before flying to Miami to be seen by his own doctors.

He said the plan for next year's Mania was to face Brock Lesnar (as we've noted for months) and that still may happen, but due to his injury, they couldn't shoot the planned first angle that was orignally to be on the 4/8 Raw show.
 
Not really enthused for Raw.

Probably switch back and forth between Raw and the NBA Playoffs.
 
They already tweaking the Fandango character. :smh:

I don't get why new music was needed, and they already added the crowd :lol:
 
Here's The Rock's interview with Peter Rosenberg:

 
I'll post it here -

- The Barclay's Center in Brooklyn, NYC will host WWE Monday Night Raw for the first time on 7/15/13, which is the day after the Money in the Bank PPV.


Jess, MITB is in Philly. You plan on going?
 
So Ryback is gonna continue to get put in feud after feud where he won't get wins? I swear these writers must be moles sent by Dixie Carter to counteract moles sent by Vince :smh:
 
Can't believe they are doing this to Fandango so quickly. Turrible. :smh:
 
WWE always tries to force things.

Should've left Fandango's theme alone.
 
Fandangos hype died last week with that dead crowd and cringe worthy promo. Now theyre burying it....Triple H style :smokin
 
Not so fast

His music hit and the crowd went nuts. They trolled the fans though as he didn't come out.
 
Like I said from the start.  Fandango was never over.  That gimmick was never going to get over.  This music was over for one night in front of a crowd that was doing anything and everything in their power to entertain themselves.  Regardless of what WWE did with Fandango, he had a shelf life of about 3 months max.

He needs to at least get a very convincing win on Cena to get some heat back on him. He needs to beat the ish out of Cena at Extreme Rules to make him a more believable monster heel.
 
I don't even feel like tuning in tonight, even though I haven't read any spoilers there's something off-putting about a prerecorded show :rolleyes

I feel the same.

I'll probably just DVR and FF to the decent segments.
