OFFICIAL RAW IS RYBACK THREAD STARRING CM PUNK FEAT. VINCE MCMAHON AND PAUL HEYMAN (10/15/2012)
 

http://www.wwe.com/f/wysiwyg/image/2...mahon-punk.jpg

Last week’s Raw ended in a brutal showdown between Mr. McMahon and WWE Champion CM Punk. The WWE Universe is still buzzing about the epic encounter! Now that The Chairman has demanded Punk choose his Hell in a Cell opponent on tonight's Raw, what will unfold? Here are five reasons Raw is must-see tonight at 8/7 CT on USA Network.

Will the WWE Champion pick John Cena or Ryback for Hell in a Cell?

For weeks, WWE Champion CM Punk has denied John Cena his request for a match at Hell in a Cell. But, it’s finally decision time for the WWE Champion. Will Punk select Cena or Ryback?

Behind door one is a 10-time WWE Champion. Behind door two is an unpredictable and ruthless Superstar. While many would assume it's not going to be an easy decision for The Straight Edge Superstar, a tweet by The Voice of the Voiceless has stated quite the contrary. Find out what Punk has to say on the impeding decision.

Will John Cena even be cleared to compete at Hell in a Cell?

Let’s say WWE Champion CM Punk chooses to face John Cena at Hell in a Cell, will Cena even be ready? Although the former WWE Champion appeared on last week’s Raw, questions remain if Cena will be medically cleared to compete for the Oct. 28 pay-per-view. Less than a month ago, he underwent surgery to remove bone chips in his arm. (FULL STORY)

And although Cena's arm is out of a sling, he is still recovering, as evidenced by the special SpiderTech tape on his arm. (WHAT IS SPIDERTECH TAPE?)

Is AJ Lee right about CM Punk?

On last week’s Raw, General Manager AJ Lee told WWE Champion CM Punk, "I know that you're too scared to fight John Cena."

Is the GM correct about The Straight Edge Superstar? Will Punk avoid choosing Ryback as his Hell in a Cell opponent because he is afraid of the larger opponent?

Or, could the GM’s opinion play a role in Punk’s decision making process? Could he choose Ryback just to spite AJ and prove he is not scared?

What will Paul Heyman do next?

Last week on Raw, Paul Heyman recommended it would be best if CM Punk lost his match to Mr. McMahon. And when trying to call the match off, Heyman told The Chairman, “I’m not here for CM Punk’s sake; I’m here for your sake.”

What kind of advice has Heyman been giving Punk regarding Hell in a Cell? Which opponent — Ryback or John Cena — does Heyman prefer his client face at Hell in a Cell? Will Heyman and Punk be in agreement about whom the WWE Champion should defend his title against at Hell in a Cell?

What about what Ryback wants?

There’s been a lot of talk about what WWE Champion CM Punk and John Cena want. But what about Ryback? What does he want?

With Ryback’s continued demands to be fed more, he certainly appears hungry to face Punk at Hell in a Cell. If Punk doesn't choose Ryback, how might he react?

But — assuming Ryback does want to face Punk — is he truly ready to face WWE’s best while locked inside the Cell? With his limited time in the ring, does Ryback know what he’s getting into?

Regardless who Punk chooses, Monday's Raw is certain to be a memorable stop on the way to Hell in a Cell.

How long until the show starts? Daylight savings here ways fucks me up with your time.

Its about 2.5hrs til Raw

So 12pm my time. Cheers.

Tuesday lunchtime Raw!!!!

I guess you might as well say,

...

FEED..ME..RAW!

Ok, I lol'd at that :lol:

4 hour raw next week

We need a 24 hour raw.

Screw this I hate working Monday nights.

FEED ME PUNK

Punk does not choose, Vince makes it a triple threat.

Ryback...Smash!!!

I'd love a swerve where ryback helps punk beat cena in the triple threat and becomes punk's muscle

I'd love a swerve where cena helps punk beat ryback in the triple threat and becomes punk's muscle

Big show needs a Sho-kick

Sometimes it seems like WWE is trying to put over the brogue kick more than Sheamus. lol

Big show wins, ziggler cashes in and beats him in 30 seconds

I'd laugh if Show does win only and ends up becoming the only guy to lose twice to someone cashing in the case.

30 seconds? i think like 5 lol

WAS THAT A JOHNNY CURTIS SIGHTING!?!?!?!

Poit isn't capable of talking. Someone join the TPWW chat.

http://www.tpwwforums.com/showthread...ight=tpww+chat

This doesn't make a lot of sense

Cena did it

yes that was a johnny curtis sighting

Johnny Curtis appearing for around 1 second on screen already makes this a contender for one of the greatest Raws of all time.

Oh yeah forgot all about him. Wasn't it like the first two times ended up being against him?

Should have meant for Smackdown champs since Show probably would be the first if it happens.

Good evening, everyone.

They should make it so the tag titles change hands in singles matches

Yeah. Edge and RVD.

If they are worried about ratings why did they start with a big show promo? I like the guy but still.

anyone else notice the girl in the front row with the "I'm a Paul Heymon Guy" sign?

Don't like this shirt

Good idea though having this segment during the kickoff, keep the viewers watching.

HAH! He mentioned hitting the fan. Awesome.

"Verbically" That word is now in my lexicon. ^_^

I hope he chooses HHH

Laughed out loud at the way he said "... Am I the devil?"

Yet you posed for it dude

Also, sly atheistic comment there about the devil not existing and living in a fantasy world.

Wow, Punk looked pretty horny in that poster...

Please let it be this month's playboy cover, please.

Vinny Mac!

Now I wanna know what was under the cover

Thought for a second he was gonna say "In that very ring tonight, we will have a number one contenders match between Ryback and John Cena." lol

"Hey, I'm not telling you anything you don't already know."

I want to see punks choice :(

So Alberto is the Opex Predator?

Brodus clay official a jobber

Is it me, or does Brodus look like he's dropped a few pounds?

Ugh. The Job-a-saurus. There are more much worthless guys to job out to Del Rio.

Brodus is seriously about to tap out. Jesus...

Fuck you, WWE.

ADR gets no crowd response...

I'm curious to see what they will do when they bring back Brock Lesnar and how it'll factor in with Punk & Heyman

And now, while Paul is gone, Punk puts on Cody's ring entrance jacket and starts singing "Smoke and Mirrors"

WHERE'S TRENT?!

lol

Heyman: "Who does he think he is? He thinks he's Vince McMahon!"

Punk: "Naaaaah"

Protects Punk from Ryback, leads to Ryback wanting Lesnar and months of "no, I'm not coming back" and an eventual WrestleMania match.

Hopefully.

Haven't we've seen these two teams go at it numberous times before?

Clash of the Titus... O'Neil

I thought that was John Morrison!

Fuuuuck Pintint gave me the wrong start time.

Huh...

Hahaha. The Band.

:lol: at Slater's appearance.

Jinder needs to lose turpin...

I prefer "The Band" over "3 Man Band".

This is great.

What have I missed so far?

3MB > 4-Horsemen

:lol: I don't get why Jinder is there but as long as Drew is getting some airtime I dont mind

Totally thought that was X-Pax running in. Instead it was Drew.

Now I'm bummed out.

Oh, The 3 Man Band! Hit their music!

*I'm just one maaaaaaaaan...*

The Three-Man Band baby!

There was me, that is Heath. And my two droogs, that is Jinder and Drew. And we were in the ring making up our rassudocks on what to do with the evening.

I like the look for McIntyre. Jinder takes off the turban for nothing apparently.

My dream for this stable has been reali.......why is mahal still wearing the fucking turban???

3MB is a swerve. They're building towards an revealing of the Hindu World Order. h.W.o

lol at the broncos

Tazz Dan, normally RAW would start at midday AEDT (during daylight savings), but since going to 3 hours it starts at 11.

Generally, nobody cares what the bassist is wearing.

Cheers. He threw with 2.5 hours at 9:30 our time.

Once again Del Rio makes short work of mid carders.

Aww, now Ryback is gonna squash Ziggy

Zigs just say he's cashing in soon?

If Ziggler jobs to Ryback, I'm not sure what I'll think.

And the crowd goes... "huh?"

THE GOATEE IS BACK! Oh, yeah, it's Otunga too.

Will someone capable of talking join the TPWW CHAT!

http://www.tpwwforums.com/showthread...ight=tpww+chat

Why is Dolph still paired with Vickie?

Otunga is getting a bit better.

Some heel on heel violence coming up.

Why don't they show Ryback's pyro? bugs me a lot.

You'll think "This is an honor for Dolph Ziggler" and you'll fucking like it.

Zigs better fucking bolt if he wants to save face here.

You LEAVE MURDERFACE OUT OF THIS!

and oddly enough Ive always found Twiggy of Marilyn Manson to be the most visually striking and interesting one in the band.

I'm guessing Ziggler says "Fuck you" and leaves Otunga to be fed to The Ryback.

Well at least Ryback is moving up on who gets squashed or feed. The Miz must have been an appetizer.

Ryback must hold a record for the most victories in a handicap match.

I would hope so
