Official Raw Thread: Bash Backlash
 

http://www.wwe.com/content/media/images/3883682/5108228

John Cena overcame another massive challenge to his WWE Championship when he defeated Bobby Lashley in a classic at The Great American Bash. Meanwhile, Candice Michelle cemented her hold on the Women’s Championship with a hard-fought victory over Melina. These two champions will unite when they team up on Raw to take on Intercontinental Champion Umaga and World Tag Team Champions Cade & Murdoch in the first-ever Champions Only Match.

One Superstar who had a milestone victory at The Bash was Randy Orton, who defeated Dusty Rhodes in a Texas Bull Rope Match to add another conquest to his long list of destroyed legends. However, Orton tried to severely injure the “American Dream” with a vicious punt to the head, but Dusty’s son Cody intervened.

Cody, who would have suffered the same fate on Raw last week if his father had not stepped in, is now going to try to avenge his family when he challenges Orton in a rematch Monday night. Will Cody Rhodes teach Orton a lesson?

Find out the answers to these questions and more on Raw on Monday night at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

rofl - wtf @ Candice & Cena vs. Jamal & Cade/Murdoch? God damn Super Cena...

I'd mark out if Cena walked out on Candice.

Wow about 5 minutes until Raw and only two, well now three replies.

not a good sign for this thread.

Considering the Great American Bash thread, I'm not all that surprised.

Cade and Murdoch look very comfortable with each other in that picture.

Batista sucks

Carry on

Think we would ever see the day Candice would be in a Main Event of Raw? Granted she has gotten better but wow.

It'll probably end up being Kennedy unless they go ahead with Orton/Cena at Summerslam.

Evening everybody.

Look out for Deadly Heaven

ALL HAIL THE KING

Why does Booker look like a golfer with a cape and a silly hat?

I was hoping when saw that set up we were going back to the days of Regal lecturing us on the Proper Etiquette

Jerome? King wearing make-up or something?

Hahahaha Jerry's half is a common table.

I like how Lashley is shown when "domination" is said in the lyrics.

Not sure why Snitsky is shown during "submission" though.

Perhaps he will debut some DEVESTATING MANEUVER tonight. After being named no.1 contender. :shifty:

Guaranteed this leads to a Lawler beatdown.

Was that a Jericho sign I just saw?

LOL at the 1/2 eaten doughnut

Do we think that was intentional or not?

LOL @ this opening.
Re-dick-u-lus.

LMAO at "shaaahhm"

Whoa. They're bringing in the NBA mess now.

The main event is missing the greatest champ in the company by far. I will let you guess who that is.

rofl - the Sacramento Peasants :D

LOL

*snooze*

LOL!

LOL
Oh-Hell-No.

Ghetto King Booka

all being set up for a HHH sqaush :(

Well after WM 19, it can't be worse.

Heh-heh. He said arse.

Gotta be Hornswoggle

I love how King Booka is all like royal and shit then breaks character and returns to being black...then does it over and over and over again.

jesus, why would you book that? I didn't know it was Jerry Lawler vs HHH

wrestlers need to stop selling for commentators

All hail King Jerry! All hail King Jerry!

Alright I guess the beatdown is next week...

Of course - love that Little Bastard :D

That's one of the best things about the whole King Booker character. :D

So how long ago exactly was WrestleMania? And was it not on Pay-Per-View this year, JR?

lol at jr asking lawler if his hand is ok before the divas match

I also love Melina - don't think I'll ever get bored with that entrance.

whos her partner? Edit forgot Maria wrestled lol

Mickie needs to be Women's champion

Ah fuck. I thought they sent Santino back to the farm.

:lol: at Marella now being Maria's bitch. I see heel turn coming here though.

Seriously Marella sucks

i would do so many things to Mickie.

Stop commentating like a gimp, Marella

the only thing missing from Marellas commentary is "mama mia"

Mickie seriously needs to be the top diva, the crowd is constantly behind her and she's actually good.

I can a feel the pain to.

Ima come on ya ma ria!!!

He just said that, didn't he?

Santinos making Lashley look like a god on the mic.

God I'd kill for a nosebleed seat and a sniper rifle....

WHAT! is this a fucking joke?
why do we have this assclown....
wait, he's actually funny

Mickie's probably going to do the JOB again.

And then Marella beats her up for making Maria lose.

This is terrible lol

Note to WWE producers:

You have a mute button for each headset. FER GAWD'S SAKES, USE IT!

JUST END THE MATCH FOR FUCK'S SAKE!

rofl @ Santino. :D

Mickie or Melina. Just anyone who's name doesn't start with C and end with andice Michelle.

Maria's first pinfall win, like ever?

:eek: at Melina jobbing

the italian perv. good god. lol

I only just started paying attention to this match, and thought Maria was Lita... I was very confused for a second.

Is Santino gonna get over as a woman beater now? They giving him a Benoit gimmick?

Santino's a male escort!!!!!

Oh yipee, we get it. CENA IS UNSTOPPABLE.

LOL, "The Great American Bash will be rememberd for years to come."

There could be something in Marella "helping" Maria and her finding out later and rejecting it.

She beat Victoria once I think.

For Fucks Sake. Cena cock sucking moment.

What is the point of this Champions Only match??

TNA! they were on to something!
They're on the WWE's heels!!!

I'm convined the writers write for matches more so then storylines. Like they sit there and scramble there brains to see what cool match they could put together for the week.

Pretty much so they can say it's the "first ever" thing.

Im assuming to put Cena over. Either that or for the unnamed number one contender to cost him the match.

Whoa, Gerald Brisco. :eek:

please turn heel

Someone get Cody a ladder.

Our new number one.

Snitsky!

YOU DO IT TO YOURSELF YOU DO AND THATS WHAT REALLY HURTS

At Summerslam

Cena/Lawler/Ross vs. Khali/JBL/Cole in the very first "Champions/Commentators" match

God, Cena as The Rock again, coming up, eh? :rolleyes:

somebody get Cody some steroids.

sad thing is I can actually see a match like that happening.

I hear 1-800-Dentist works.

Coconuts and urinal cakes??

It was good up until that.

rofl :D

he's losing the strap at Summerslam. I would put a bet on it

Wait..."best pure athlete"? Oh god.

is he talking about the title or his ass?

OH god please let's take that bet!!! Here's my paypal.....

Cena's going hogan over that belt. Only a Mcmahon is going to take that strap off him.... Triple H Mcmahon!!!

Boy, is this Raw dragging...

Normally I'm quite easily pleased, really. I don't tend to bitch about the WWE product that much, even though I fully agree that it used to be so much better, I tend to just accept what I'm given as far as wrestling goes... but nothing has captured my interest at all tonight. I'm actually bored.

I thought there was big time panic over poor ratings? You'd think they could pull SOMETHING good out of their ass?

So, does Duggan pin Carlito like he did at the house show?

Sandman and Hacksaw.

Oh man....

Regal's robe looks awful.
