Wow, they just gave us ANOTHER Raw commercial, again to those of us who PAID to watch this damn show. Hey Einsteins, if we paid for this, do you really think we will miss Raw for FREE?
Bryan did a promo making AJ every bit as important as his chance to win the WWE Title. I know AJ is over an all but shouldn't the Title be at leas a LITTLE more important than a booty call? Or a LOT more?
Yay, R Truth and Kofi Kingston came out. They are on commentary. That means....yes AW and The Prime Time Players. They get to beat Epico and Primo. Booker has a boner for Rosa, as he just did a ducky ducky. I can't make this up. So that means that the champions don't work on PPV, but the challengers do. I think it's time for cake. ... My cake was good which is more than I can say for this match, which the heels dominated. AW on the mic (calling Primo Taco Bell) and just sucking in general was bad, as was what Kofi and Truth had to say on commentary. The only good thing was Primo working his ass off. It wasn't enough. I wish they would just put AW on one of those "we will keep you for three years and never work" deals. At least Epico and Primo won. That led to the most unintentionally telling comment of the night when Kofi said, "The number one contenders just lost, what does that mean"? Kofi, it means that the tag titles mean less than breasts on a bull. ... Afterward AW said it didn't matter that they lost because they are still number one contenders. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. AW and the PTP faced off with Truth, Kofi and maybe Little Jimmy. The champs said bring it, and AW said you don't have the money (don't ask me to make sense of this crap logically). Truth threw water in AW's face and AW went nuts and his guys, you know the ones that should want to fight the champs, instead pulled their manager off and walked away. The tag titles are so dead.
Time to get a recap on the star of the show, AJ! She is the most important thing in WWE folks and if you don't know it yet, you will. For you math folks, here you go: AJ>WWE Title>Daniel Bryan and CM Punk.
Here we go with the WWE Title match, CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan, the winner gets the privilege of being AJ's manager. Or concubine. Or paramour. Or something like that. This will be a No DQ match. That means AJ will just be watching for the most part, and also that we will see LOTS of camera shots of AJ watching. She's hot and all, but this is a WWE Title match isn't it? Should she really be more important that the Title? Just saying. ... We have our first big AJ moments, when Punk accidentally takes her out. Bryan attacks Punk for it and sends AJ to the back and we have a new ref. Yeah, like she won't be back. Well at least they can actually start having a match without a distraction, at least until she comes back. ... Bryan is in control, hitting a running knee off of the apron on to the floor. The fans are chanting back and forth for both guys. It's like everyone realizes that there is a limited amount of time until she comes back and gloms the spotlight so lets make the most of it. ... Punk is now in control as they fight on the floor. ... Again, let me be clear, I like AJ and all, but she should never be bigger than the WWE Title. ... Suddenly the fans chant "We want Tables" and Punk is glad to grab one. Bryan uses that as a way to come back and take control. He has a kendo stick and he is wearing out Punk with it. ... These guys are wailing on each other. The crowd is into it, doing Yes/No chants. This is good stuff now that they are, you know, wrestling instead of being secondary. Cole just said that this is the most coveted Title in history. If only they treated it as such. ... Now Punk has the stick and he is killing Bryan with it. Two count only. ... Oh yeah, in case you haven't figured it out yet, the WWE Title is not the main event. Again. John Cena is. Again. ... And, she's back. She is sending the ref to the back. Booker said you knew it was coming. Sadly, yes we did. Punk and Bryan are both down so she started skipping around the ring. ... She went under the ring and got a chair. Bryan came to and asked her for it. she dropped it in the ring and let them go fight for it. Bryan won and creamed Punk with it. ... Bryan got a two. AJ did a fair count. Bryan wanted a three. He spent time telling her that. Dumb ass, you are letting Punk come back. He rolled Bryan up for two. AJ gave Bryan that "I will do you" look. Bryan started kicking the crap out of Punk and AJ looked upset. Bryan ran to the corner but Punk nailed him with a jumping clothesline. Punk grabbed the chair and paid Bryan back. AJ watched. Punk wedged the chair in the corner between the top and second turnbuckle. He went to throw Bryan into it when heat glommer stood in front of the chair. This led Bryan to be able to kick Punk into the chair. These guys are working so hard I wish they could be back in ROH where they could just have a match. ... Bryan crawled over to AJ and sucked up to her, while she smiled crazily. He turned and Bryan got kicked in the head and then slammed on a chair. Punk went for the Savage elbow from the top but missed, hitting the chair. Bryan slapped on the Yes Lock, using the stick for leverage. CrazyJ looked in Punk's face with that sick look on her face, you know because he wouldn't marry her. Punk powered out and hit the GTS. Punk finally went over for the cover and only got two. AJ counted fairly. ... Punk went to the floor, selling his arm, and grabbed a table from the floor. He put Bryan on it and pounded him a few times. Punk went to the top but before he could hit the Savage Elbow, Bryan got up and nailed him, crotching him on the top. Punk powered out before Bryan could put him through the table and then went back to the top and pasted Bryan with elbows. He followed with a back suplex that put them both through the table. AJ counted the three and Punk retained. Punk handed the title to Punk and he played to the crowd. AJ was sad. Then she got mad and glared at Punk. ... It was an excellent match from a work perspective and even though I don't want to see anything be more important than the title, the AJ stuff was probably a major draw or a lot of people. I love her character, I just think that the Title should be more important than everything. I am old school.
