Raw spoilers for Monday 2nd August....

Rjd2

They are oversees for a while so they taped next weeks show last night. I assume we get 2 Smackdown shows later as well.

Opening video and pyro went off. The main event was advertised as Randy Orton vs The Miz.

Edge came out to open the show. After saying he doesn't trust his Raw team. Edge challenged Wade Barrett to a match. R-Truth came out and told Edge he needs to stop thinking about himself and get with the team. Edge threatened Truth with a spear.

The anonymous general manager chimed in. Cole stated the general manager wanted R-Truth to exit the ring for the next match, which was Edge vs. Barrett, Truth told Edge, "Good luck, you are on your own."

1. Edge fought Wade Barrett to a no-contest when Nexus interfered. Barrett nearly took the spear, but he got out of the ring and called for his Nexus teammates. Edge escaped through the crowd and ran right by correspondent Edward. Edge stared down Nexus from the crowd.

2. Alicia Fox, Jillian Hall, and Tamnia defeated Natalya, Eve Torres, and Gail Kim. Fox pinned Natalya to win the match. Fox got on the mic and said she's the best Divas Champion ever. Melina's theme hit and she ran out and beat up Fox. Melina did the splits and then posed for the live crowd.

Backstage, Cena found Edge and said they have to fight together in order to win at SummerSlam. Edge said Cena would have to win without him because he quit the team.

Jericho came to Cena and said Cena is the one who really needs to quit. He challenged Cena to a match for later in the show. The loser of the match leaves the SummerSlam team. Cena said no at first, but Jericho convinced him.

John Morrison and Great Khali were shown talking backstage. Morrison left and the Nexus arrived. They said they didn't attack Khali last week because they respect him and want him to join them. It was announced that Khali would face Ted DiBiase Jr. later in the show.

3. Sheamus pinned Goldust. Sheamus said what a difference a year makes. He said he became champion in one year and didn't need a briefcase, nor did he take as long as Orton did to win his first title. He said Orton couldn't beat Triple H, whereas he ended Hunter's career.

4. John Cena defeated Chris Jericho in a loser leaves Team Raw match. Cena won the match with the STF. The live crowd was really into this match. Afterward, Cena told Jericho he didn't want him to leave the team. He said Jericho is still the best at what he does, and said they could taken on Nexus together. Jericho shook his head no and walked out on Cena, so it looks like he's off the team.

Backstage, Edge and Chris Jericho agreed that Cena needed them, but they don't need him. The Raw general manager chimed in and announced that next week, Edge and Jericho will face Cena and Bret Hart. The Nexus members will serve as lumberjacks for the match.

Justin Roberts interviewed Randy Orton, who responded to Sheamus's promo by saying he gave Triple H a six-week vacation by kicking him in the skull. Orton invited Sheamus to ringside to watch his match against Miz. He said the good news for Sheamus is that he will beat Miz so bad that he won't be able to cash in his MITB contract. He said the bad news is that it will be Sheamus's turn for the beating in two weeks.

5. The Great Khali defeated Ted DiBiase. Wade Barrett and Skip Sheffield came to ringside and distracted DiBiase by grabbing his Million Dollar Title belt, which led to Khali getting the win via the Vice Grip.

The Miz came out and said Randy made a mistake. He said he will be champion if he cashes in on Orton or Sheamus, because he's The Miz and he's awesome.

6. Randy Orton defeated The Miz. Sheamus watched the match from the stage. Randy pinned Miz after hitting the RKO. Sheamus rushed the ring, but Randy saw it coming and struck the Viper Pose, which stopped Sheamus dead in his tracks. This may end up being the point where the television show will go off the air.

Cena came out while Sheamus, Miz, and Orton were still at ringside. Nexus came out and told Sheamus to leave because they have a truce. Mark Henry came out with the Raw crew to fight off Nexus. The Raw crew successfully chased off the majority of Nexus and then roughed up Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater. The Raw crew stood tall as Cena's music played to end the show.

i dont think they can i am sick and tired of the whole nexus storyline tbh and raw sounds crap

Rjd2

Cena v Jericho will be good if given time as will Sheamus v Goldust. Those two had a great match on ECW before Sheamus went to Raw, although been the show that it is it will probably only be a squash match.:(:(

Degag

Didn't Jericho lose a "Loser Leaves RAW match" only sbout 3 months ago also?:rolleyes:

2nd Row Donkey

Goldust.. in a match.. on RAW.. against a main eventer.... *falls off chair*

Furious-Red

Yea kinda sick of the Nexus attacking thing with Barret doing his finisher , then Skip doing a clothesline followed by a 450 splash. Same every week

D2D

Nah, Bret will rally the troops when he returns in a few weeks. They are just really hyping the combustible elements of the match.

I think thats the idea, we are not supposed to like Nexus. Most anti establishment groups end up getting cheered so WWE have to do thing like that to annoy people a bit more. In saying that I always look forward to Gabriel landing the 450.

Oops, forgot that thread:o:o:o:o Sorry, it was just unusual seeing no Raw thread on a Monday

CMpunked

Sheamus v Godust?!

Um.. Ok..

That mixed with khaki-DiBiase and it's turning out to resemble superstars or experience!

Butch Cassidy

I guess we'll find out if that new WWE logo is real or not tonight

sky88

will ferrell and mark wallberg are suppossed to be on the show promoting the other guys would love a rock cameo but dont think it will happen

GTR63

A few notes from the Show.Edge is still stale.Sheamus needs a lot more over opponents than 10 years past it Mouldust.
Jericho still needs the Male equivalent of a boob lift.They showed the audience a video to prove Bret Hart was once a Great worker.Still Nobody cares about the Divas.
Oh & wwe aren't giving anyone a reason to Buy/rent summerslam in less than 2 weeks.

Degag

And this deserved it's own thread because.......?

Mouldust,what a little nickname that is.I think that alone justifies it that & the fact wwe phoned in this episode to go flog they're product to Skippy & Australia who must still be recovering after the Horrendous HULKAMANIA Tour.

mixed up

This has been a pretty poor raw and chris jericho tapping out before john cena even locked in the stfu what a load of crap.

Degag

It sounds incredibly fake when Cena says something like he just has "You've just witnessed one of the greatest matches between two of the greatest Superstars in the WWE today" It's not the first time he's said something to that affect, and to be fair it's not his call to make.

Is that a attempt at humour.Jericho flexing his chest is kinda funny to me he isn't buff at all & his chest is probably only like that due to drug or steroid use. Growing breast tissue is a effect of drug use,same happened to JBL.Cena teaching a Guy how to Wrestle oh the Irony.Danny glovers career has hit the sewers appearing in that awful even by the Debut Trailer no doubt WWE produced & budgeted Film.

Diabhal Beag

Miz has the face of a fish. That's the only note of interest for me in this entire show.

No.

That main event was odd.You can tell they don't get along.What is up with Orton pulling faces like his Bowel is about to collapse.Anyone catch The Rock vs Eddie Guerrero on Vintage Collection quite the Contrast to this weeks Raw main event.It was about 8 years ago,the Wrestlers were on a similar position on the card to Orton & Miz.The difference in Quality was Vast,the fans were actually into the action,standing on their feet & they both could actually Wrestle.

gimmick

3 threads for one Raw must be a record! Last weeks and last nights ones merged now that raw has aired.

Its body fat. It happens to all men as they get older especially if they were "buff" when they were younger. Any one who is a bit older who used to weight train will confirm this. Steroids won't do you any favours in this department but you cant just blame them. Ask a doctor.
It's amazing how many people just latch onto sensationalist pish when there are straight forward reasons.

Watched the show this morning. Good enough.

Thanks finally some recognition.

I really enjoyed Raw again this week. Cant understand the hate for it. Nexus angle is still very interesting, and Orton-Sheamus is building very nice indeed

TripleAce

I really enjoyed Jericho's match tbh.

D2D

Raw did a 3.3 rating rating this week. Considering it was taped, that's an excellent rating to get

The Volt

Jericho dominated Cena. It's actually ridiculous at this stage how limited Cena is in the ring. I don't hate him as much as I used to but he's got to get better in the ring and quick. Recently, Sheamus dominated him and this time it was Jerichoa. He's awful, just awful

I was surprised that King didnt mention The Rock being in this movie

Would HHH or Cena if they were champion be in a match in the middle of the show against Golddust :rolleyes: I think not - Sheamus deserves better imo

Penn

I presumed Sheamus was just fighting Goldust because its been a year since Sheamus started an apart from random local jobbers, wasn't Goldust his first match. I thought having him against goldust was jut to show how far he has come in the past year. Caused HHH to have to leave for a few months, 2 time WWE champion, retired Jamie Noble.

That being said, I didn't see the match or anything so I don't know if they played it that way

That could be down to it being taped perhaps?
I know it makes the difference for me to watch impact and SD

paddyismaddy

will poor gillian ever get a title reign or even natalya

The Volt

Gillian and those twins can get lost. Natalya, Melina, Alecia, Kim and Eve actually make up a decent Divas division.

I miss the days when 'The twins' would mean something else related to the divas..

Heels normally dominate matches.

Cena had veeery little offense though. If Jericho had won I'd have considered it a squash match.

But Jericho was booked to lose the match after being impressive, Cena calling Jericho best in the world wouldn't of made sense if Cena was the more impressive wrestler in the match.

The Volt

True but surely there was room for more Cena offence?
