I'm expecting my birthday celebration to close out the show.

Wanna see Heyman, Lesnar, and Axel open the show wearing some nice suits and explain the hit on Punk last week.

You will probably be F5'd by Brock Lesnar.

If there's one thing I've learned from years of watching in-ring celebrations in wrestling, it's that nothing ever goes right.

Watch your cornhole, Iggy.

Let the Christian be Un"Cage"ed and go after the Sheild tonight. Do it.

THEN. NOW. FOREVER. RECAP.

Happy Birthday, Iggy :wavesad:

I went to a couple smackdowns in north charleston

BREAKING NEWS: Daniel Bryan is now my favorite wrestler of all time ever.

I really think Mark Henry would make a great badass babyface.

Wyatt family debut?!

Smart to start the show off with Bryan. He gets crowds pumped.

The Goat Wizard speaks. Man is he over.

SHUT UP AND FIGHT!

How over is Daniel Bryan.

Hahaha! Bryan sets the record straight.

Daniel Bryan has snapped

NO DQ. Arena Brawl. Make it happen Vickie.

Pretty energetic start.

Randy Orton having the white details on his attire is taking some getting used to.

Since when does Randy Orton show anybody compassion?

No DQ Match later?

CLARK KENT! SAVE THE SHOW!

That would have been a perfect time to have used Vickie Guerrero to come out (considering the heat machine that she is) and announce a fight between the two later.

I'm really interested to see what happens with Christian in regards to The Shield later. Is he going to find partners to face them, or will he challenge Dean Ambrose alone? Will there even be follow-up?

Wait... did Vickie even see the look on his face? lol

It feels like Vince takes pot shots at Daniel Bryan every chance he gets.

Big Christian pop.

I hope it's something they build on. Ambrose and Christian could be a great PPV match.

As it should be.

Team christmus

That Vince bit was weird.

If Christian helps Sheamus against Rhodes Scholars, shouldn't Sheamus help Christian against The Shield?

Like how Cody stole bob Holly's moves

Why do they have Smackdown if all they do is replay every single match on the next episode of Raw?

Inherited would be more apt.

Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow having issues.

Alberto Del Rio's character works infinitely better as a heel.

And he was already a badass submission machine...

Del Rio vs. Jericho vs. Ziggler at Money in the Bank? That would be a pretty good title match.

Nice Beats, Punk.

I want to have sex with Vickie Gurrerro and I'd even let Punk watch.

:lol: Punk was actually tweeting during that and yeup it was hockey related.

And neither diva gets an entrance.

Remember when Aksana was blonde?

God I just wana have dirty filthy sweaty sex with Aksana

OH No.

Hmph. And I thought the boys in the production truck finally snapped.

AJ! ha.

VSG just squirted on his violin.

IT TWAS ME!!

It was me, Kaitlyn! It was me all along!

I just find Layla annoying.

AJ is being a cunt. I love it.

Be a Star.

AJ AND KAITLYN IS FEUD OF THE YEAR!

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Remember kids, the WWE does not condone bullying in any way, shape or form. <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23RAWTonight&amp;src=hash">#RAWTonight</a></p>&mdash; WWE Creative Humor (@WWECreative_ish) <a href="https://twitter.com/WWECreative_ish/statuses/349323352432844800">June 25, 2013</a></blockquote>

poor Kaitlyn

I thought that was gonna be a train wreck, but it was passable. Like AJ on the mic a lot.

Did Jerry Lawler just bring up Layla's heel past? Awesome.

I fucking love everything about the Wyatt Family so far.

People complaining about heels in wrestling being bullies is about as retarded as it gets.

AJ Lee is such a good heel.

Thought maybe aj would make fun of the wardrobe malfunction last week but I guess wwe is still too above thar

So who will be the actual first feud or non-jobber victim for the Wyatt Family?

Shield would make it even at 3v3 but both are heels while Cena might have been the predictable choice but he's busy with Henry.

"And the fist comes down and the fist is change and the fist comes down!" Fucking love that line.

I enjoy Bray Wyatt's characterization, but where do you see The Wyatt Family fitting in?

I'd like for them to get involved in the Orton-Bryan-Kane angle. Just pit them all against each other and feed off of Bryan's fragile mindset to try to recruit him. It would refresh Kane's role in things by him trying to protect his buddy Daniel Bryan from them despite Bryan's resistance. And they would be attacking Orton to try to prove to Bryan that he can trust them. Would lead to and intriguing 6 man tag match.

Am I the only one who finds Jericho's intro a little weird with the pose after his music starts?

Zigs got cleared.......again.

I don't think it's complaining. More like mocking the fuck out of them.

I love how Del Rio has kept the stuff that made him a babyface but has just revealed his true colors as a heel. There are times when a heel turn should completely reinvent a character, but this isn't one of those times.

I miss the brand split, by the way.

Yea, making fun of the inconsistencies of the WWE.

Really? I don't.

The lack of it does make having two heavyweight titles a little weird though.

The scarf is back!

So are the black trunks.

Cole is trying so hard to turn Del Rio heel on commentary. Just let it be, Cole.

I hope Del Rio steals Ziggler's girlfriend at Money in the Bank and he and AJ become the new power couple in WWE.

Can't go with that one Noid. I'd rather just have AJ dump Dolph and keep Big E as the muscle. She's strong enough to stand on her own now in my opinion and should really embrace that whole "Black Widow" thing instead of latching on to another dude.

I thought Jericho was going to lose by countout there.

AJ doesn't need no man, but she'd get a lot more attention that way.

Ugh..

She'd help Del Rio too. It'd be interesting to have Ricardo give her ring introductions too.

So that's what the bucket was for.

Tag match!

Triple Threat at MITB.

Nice Northern Lights suplex from Jericho.

Dolph looks kinda rough

Triple Threat at Money in the Bank I hope.

Dolph seems like a man possessed.

Really want to know where they're going with the McMahon power struggle.

So who gets the cover curse this year?

Cenas on the cover.

Call 1-800-Fella, fella.

Sheamus goes out dressed like that, then he deserves it...

Going to be a bit odd if the cover for WWE 2k14 is still The Rock considering he's not even around to help promote that segment.
