    Just a guess, but the fact that it's a cartoon drawing and not a photograph may mean that WWE have sidestepped any laws.

    Nah, they were showing clips of Obama himself on Raw, fake interview questions with Real Obama answers.

    I'm sure he gave them the go ahead, anything to increase votes for his re-election I'm sure, keep everyone happy and all that.

    Wrong

    It was a parody which is protected under free speech.



    Images of the President are also probably public domain too.

    Gonna put my neck on the line and say a cage match with R-Truth and Cena with JoMo making some sort of Spiderman like re-appearance using the cage!

    After Raw went off the air last night, the Raw GM announced that with R-Truth earning a victory over John Cena on Monday Night Raw, he has earned a shot at the WWE Championship at the Capitol Punishment PPV on Sunday, June 19. However, this announcement came under one condition. R-Truth must apologize for his actions on Raw last night next week.

    When Kevin Dunn like his promotionals, he likes to get em played as much as possible. My money is on it actually opening the show as well.

    Has anyone mentioned the Capitol Punishment/Capitol Hill reference as in the latter is home to the US Congress etc? Saw a couple of folk wondering about the spelling, I'm thinking that's the reasoning with the Obama promos etc.

    An angle is booked between Big Show and Alberto Del Rio for next week's three-hour RAW, likely to set up a match between the two at Capitol Punishment

    I'd be very surprised if Zeke doesn't win the title on this show.

    How many IC title matches has he had against Wade so far 2 or 3?

    I am finding it a very boring feud.

    Randy Orton commented on his Twitter account on the status of his concussion:

    "About to take an Impact test. It will determine if I can be cleared to fight Christian, after receiving a concussion. Wish me luck."

    "Passed the IMPACT test."

    Since Orton has passed the IMPACT test the World Heavyweight Championship match against Christian at Capitol Punishment is on.

    Was there really any doubt that this match would go ahead? I don't seem to remember any WWE match being cancelled/postponed at the last minute because one of the guys had a concussion, but I wait to be stood corrected.
