Wedding time will open the 9 p.m. hour. Jerry Lawler introduces the Reverend, Slick! OK, I like this already. Slick rules. ... Slick is doing his thing and the fans are doing retro dick and doing What. Slick is throwing it in their face and it took a minute for them to realize they were dicks. Then he asked for people to speak now, and they booed. Slick said he never heard that before. Then they chanted NO. Bryan decides to tell her that though they had their ups and downs, he loves her. He will always love her. And once they slip the ring on a new chapter begins. He will then have everything he ever wanted. Get the HE here? ... Slick asks him if he takes her to be his wife. He said yes. Slick asked her and she said yes before he finished. As he was pronouncing, she told him to wait. She said she wasn't saying yes to Daniel. She was saying yes to someone else. Daniel is not happy. She says it's another man, one that made a proposal to her earlier tonight. Vince's music hit. He came out and said it was a business proposal, not a wedding proposal. He told us that AJ is the new General Manager of Monday Night Raw. She is truly on fire in creative's eyes folks. ... She slammed the flowers into Bryan's chest, skipped and took off. Wow. ... Bryan went nuts. I think Vince and creative beat him to it. Wow, AJ is now the GM? I have serious doubts on this working but we will see.
Bryan threw a hissy fit. Punk came out and ran him down. Bryan didn't take that well. He is pissed. He is the greatest of all time. As my wife said, "I don't think The Rock will like that!" And here he comes. The great one! The Rock is coming to the ring. This should be good because, well, it always is with The Rock. Punk backs up. Rock takes the mic and snickers a bit. I am just gonna watch now. You all should too. ... Bryan cuts off Rock, bad move. Fans chant "Boots To Asses". ... Rock says he won his first WWE title in St. Louis. He called Bryan Frodo. He is there to talk about the WWE Championship, and that is Punk. At the Rumble whoever the champ is will go one on one with The Rock. Punk said that "whoever" will be Punk. He will beat Cena tonight and he wishes that the Rumble was tomorrow so they could do it. Hmm, is that how Cena will lose, Rock interference tonight? ... Bryan pipes in and says that this was supposed to be about him. Rocky will be fighting him and says he will be the face if the WWE. Rock trashes him. Then hits the Rock Bottom. Good segment for Punk, not so much for Bryan.
OK, we are halfway in and I was expecting a little more love from the past. They still have time but so far this show, with all of the time that they had to make it special, isn't as big as it should be.
They did a push for Undertaker's Streak DVD. It will be loaded 4 DVD streak. That was followed by Bret Hart coming out. ... Hart talks about how one of the best moments of his career was beating Mr. Perfect for the IC Title. It's an honor for him to introduce the IC Title match for tonight, Christian vs. The Miz. ... Miz is in control early. He hit the Skull Crushing Finale and won the Title most people don't care about. Yay. He says he won the Title, and he is awesome. Well, Awesome would be winning a title that people actually want. Whatever.
Charlie Sheen changed his hat. He is plugging his show now. Sheen likes the Rock. He thinks Daniel Bryan is a weasel. He plugs his show. He calls him an oompa loompa. Charlie says he is there all night. Tip your waitresses. He didn't say that, I did.
HHH hits the ring. He said the fun is over, he is calling out Brock Lesanr. He wants him at SummerSlam. Time for Lesnar to give him an answer. Paul Heyman comes out to give him one. Heyman is there to speak for Brock, and Brock says no to the match at SummerSlam. HHH says he will go back and find him. Heyman says if wants another a lawsuit, well that isn't best for business. HHH runs down Lesnar and says he is a bully and a coward. Heyman mocks him for resorting to name calling. Paul says he is acting like a kid and HHH says that they are not allowed to talk about kids. Heyman rips on HHH and his ability to be a father. Out comes step, who is looking lean and mean, in the best possible way. She tells Heyman to not talk about her kids. She says the lawsuits about him and his failures in the business. She calls his kids embarrassed and says he is a professional parasite, then slaps him in the face. ... Heyman gets the mic He says you want to see your husband fight Brock Lesnar, it's on. For SummerSlam. Just in case you missed it the first time, Steph attacked Heyman again, which brings out Brock. HHH gets Steph out of the ring and Brock attacks. HHH gets the best of Lesnar and it's time for SummerSlam. Good angle to set up their match.
