WWE Raw SuperShow Digest 9/26

This week's edition of RAW SuperShow was very explosive to say the least. There are many things that I need to talk about so sit back and enjoy as I take you through my personal opinions and what were the best & worst moments of RAW this week. First of all I would like to begin by saying that this new SuperShow is a great way to attract more fans to the shows. Seeing both RAW & Smackdown superstars compete on the same show is fantastic because you get two for the price of one. 


First of all I want to begin by saying that Triple H coming out to the ring to address the WWE Universe regarding the Miz / Truth situation was very good so we all had an explanation. He was then interupted by several superstars demanding all sorts of different orders. One of those superstars was Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes. He asked that Randy Orton be fined after the beating that Orton put down on Rhode's on that past week's edition of Friday Night Smackdown. He wasn't granted that wish but what he did get for annoying Triple H was a match to defend the IC Title on the same night. A 10-Man Over The Top Rope Battle Royal which was a very exciting way to kick off the night's events I certainly enjoyed watching that fantastic match. The winner was Cody Rhodes so he retained his title. It was down to Rhodes & Sheamus staring each other down inside the squared circle Sheamus was then distracted by Christian coming down to the ring and that's when Rhodes pounced! Using that protective mask as a weapon against the Irish Warrior Sheamus.  Whether you're a Rhodes fan or a Sheamus fan, this truly was a great match for everyone involved and everyone who was watching the match!


Beth Phoenix and Natalya are a force to be reckoned with as they defeated Kelly Kelly & Eve in a tag team match. It was a great match full of excitement , power & brutality Kelly has beaten Beth Phoenix at the last two PPV's so Beth is looking for some redemption against the "Barbie Dolls" as Beth & Natalya call them. I think that there will be a lot of interesting stuff happening in the Divas Division very soon. I know It's quite a while away but If The Divas Of Doom are still around when Kharma returns they better watch their backs because not even two Divas could stop the powerhouse that is Kharma who is taking some time off at the moment. 


As Hell In A Cell approaches this Sunday everyone is watching out for their backs including WWE Champion John Cena, he has a huge target on his back and Cena needs to watch out in the days leading up to Hell In A Cell. This next match was granted by Triple H at the start of the show. John Cena vs. Christian but of course, Christian wanted "one more match" AGAIN and he got it but it wasn't for the WWE Championship. John Cena came out firing at the start of the match but then Christian regained some fantastic moves against the WWE Champ. Punk & Del Rio who are arguing on commentary have a lot to say and Cena takes the time to take a quick glimpse at the announce table whenever he has time.  Christian was then thrown into the laps of the commentators and then they got out of the way but CM Punk & Alberto Del Rio were not baking down as Del Rio gives a cheap shot to CM Punk as they both stand next to the announce table. The match ended in chaos as Del Rio went after Cena & CM Punk went running after Del Rio in the ring.  The match had no winner but it was a very back and fourth match.


I thought that the match between World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry going one-on-one with The Great Khali would have been a fantastic match with a lot of high powered moves which I love in the WWE but during Khali's entrance, Mark Henry hits him from behind with the gold title belt. Before I continue I would like to say that if Henry needs to use a weapon to take down one of the biggest men in WWE History then that doesn't prove to me that you are a worthy champion. Yeah he might beat a lot of people up and have a great impact in the lockeroom but that is no way to attack someone. He then proceeded to life the Great Khali in a great show of strength and give Khali one of the biggest World's Strongest Slams I have ever seen to this day! 


After finally getting an actual title match on RAW. Zack Ryder had the chance to win the United States Championship from the current champion Dolph Ziggler. It was a very exciting match and Ryder was ever so close to winning the match but Jack Swagger got involved in the match when the referee had his back turned. Ryder was injured and Ziggler picked up the pieces with the Zig Zag to end the match for the 1..2...3. The only reason Ziggler is still the champion is because of Swagger. If it was a clean match I personally think that Ryder would be our United States Champion right now.


The next match was very un expected. It was a six man tag team match. Air Boom & Zack Ryder vs. Dolph Ziggler , Jack Swagger & a surprise return from Mason Ryan. It kicked off as a very fast paced exciting match. Now, The match started as 2-on-3 but then halfway through the match Mason Ryan runs out to the ring and joins the team of Ziggler & Swagger the match started to pick up and got even more exciting. Kofi , Evan & Ryder were working very well together. Mason Ryan was tagged in to the match and was staring down across the ring at the opposing team. He then turned his back on his own town! He beat down Jack Swagger like he was nothing more than 150 lbs. then he gave out the same pain to Dolph Ziggler. He than proceeded to run out of the ring and start laughing. Zack Ryder was waiting for Ziggler to stand up and then Ryder hit the US Champ with the Rough Ryder and then the champ was pinned for the 1...2...3 


Now, It's time for the biggest match of the night. CM Punk going one-on-one with Alberto Del Rio. All I can say is "What A Match!!" I loved it I thought it had to be the best match of the night. John Cena was out on commentary again for the second time that night. The match was very exciting action packed Punk was looking very good at the start of the match and really laying down the Smackdown on Alberto Del Rio, but then Del Rio got some great moves in and he was focusing in on Punk's arm to soften him up for that brutal Cross-Armbreaker. Punk very quickly got out of the Arm Bar that Del Rio had locked on knowing the damage can be fatal for the Triple Threat WWE Championship Match this Sunday at Hell In A Cell. Punk then has some fantastic moves. Being so skilled at using using those Japanese Moy Tai kicks to his advantage, hits Alberto Del Rio with a huge roundhouse kick that brings down Del Rio in a heartbeat, Punk picks up the win for the main event. Then, the Hell In A Cell began lowering which was hanging above the ring John Cena then jumped out of the commentary chair and ran into the ring. He gave a huge Attitude Adjustment to Del Rio's personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez. Followed up by a GTS from the Voice Of The Voiceless , CM Punk. As you know there are no "friends" when two oponents are staring each other down the ring. Punk put Cena up on his shoulders ready to give a huge GTS to the champ but they forget about Alberto Del Rio and he dives in the ring with a steel chair and starts swinging for the fences bringing both Punk & Cena with a barrage of chair shots to the torso & back of both superstars. 


Who will be the one to walk out of Hell In A Cell with the WWE Championship? CM Punk , John Cena or Alberto Del Rio? Only time will tell. Thanks for ready. Have a fantastic week and come back the same time next week for another WWE Digest
