If this is a legit injury to the point of not being able to compete then they might take the title off him Monday. If they don't trust Ryback there is always Brock, he could win challange Cena win then lose to HHH at the PPV making him the big hero

Achilles tendon injury took out edge for almost a year.

I hate to spoil the party, but he apparently was hurt all week and worked through it. I don't think he'll be missing any significant amount of time over it.

Punchy wrote:Smackdown was a load of rubbish book-ended by two great matches.

The opener, between Swagger and Del Rio was a lot of fun, I'm enjoying this feud and making this a no disqualification match was a good escalation. It was brutal and as I've said before, the way these two reverse each other's submissions is really great. I do find it odd that Dolph Ziggler was nowhere to be seen here, but hey. I would also have liked to see Colter and Swagger do a promo attacking the UK audience, saying heelish stuff like America saved your ass in WW2 or bringing up the Revolutionary War. A feud that's all about America loses something when it's being played out in Europe, so they should have brought some more heat that way.

Layla/Aksana was a typical pointless women's match, but it was good to see Layla get a home-country win.

Fandango beat Justin Gabriel, which was actually an OK match now that I think about it, Fandango's top-rope leg-drops continue to be awesome.

Sheamus/Big Show is a match I never really want to see again, it's happened so many times it's boring. Both guys are a great in the ring, but they need to fight some different people. I did like Mark Henry's interference.

Wade Barrett Vs William Regal was a missed opportunity, it was way too short, it should have been a lot longer and given Regal a chance to get some offence in. But I did like Barrett's insulting of Regal, and it's good to see him win.

Orton/Henry... meh.

The Undertaker Vs Dean Ambrose was excellent, I am very impressed with Ambrose as a single's guy, he just looks crazy. And even though he lost, The Shield really won the day as they took out Undertaker and did their power-bomb through the table thang (and Roman Reigns did his best Spear ever thang). That was an amazing moment, it really got across how bad-ass The Shield were, more so even than when they've beaten down Cena or Ryback or The Rock or Kane or anyone. They took out The Undertaker FFS! I believe.

They should have switched match times with Sheamus/Big Show and Barrett/Regal. What a bunch of boneheads.

Regal had a good match against Kassius Ohno on NXT a couple of weeks ago.

I’ve said it before but I’d really like to see a feud between Ambrose and Orton in a battle of the craziest MFers!

Ceratainly dont want to see Ryback win it right now unless he is just gonna be a transitional champ. Dont know how many options they have right now. Punk is healing up, Y2J a part timer, who else?

The Shield! Freebird rules.

Nothing important just a funny observation that my girlfriend made. Last night while we were catching up on shows that we missed while we were away this weekend, we were watching a show where one of the main characters gets covered in sweat bands and wears them for the rest of the episode. My girlfriend turns to me with a straight face and says "Is she supposed to be John Cena? She looks stupid." She doesn't really pay much attention to wrestling when I watch it but she really hates all the sweatbands he insists on wearing and I didn't expect her to just use a reference like that out of no where. :lol:

It's been an ok episode of RAW, nothing spectacular and up to this Dance Off Bullshit nothing shitty. Then they did that and it got real shitty real quick.

Another Herculian effort by Cena in the main event, too bad the leg gave out. And kudos for his work with Make a Wish.

Agreed. I don't care for Cena the character but John Cena seems like a pretty good guy outside of the ring.

So Cena's ankle cost him the main event? HMMMM.

Summer Rae was offically named at least.

There was some good wrestling.

I really liked that, I don't hate him when he shows vulnerability.

It was funny that he got booed anyway after the Make A Wish segment. :lol:

Not that I think it was the reason they did it, I actually thought he was pretty good there. He seemed sincere, not like all his other promos.

I think when he doing the stuff with and for the Make a Wish kids that is the most true to his heart honest version of the man, not the character.
