Goldust and Aksana's wedding from NXT 3 was pure gold(as most of NXT 3 was).

I really hope they dont go down the rock/Cena 2 route for the title.

That's exactly where they are going. The Rock wins WWE title, Cena defeats The Rock for the WWE Title at Wrestlemania 29. Having two matches with each of them winning one was always where they were going to go.

I'll watch, but - Punk/Cena aside - I'm honestly more interested in Impact.

It's more likely that Cena wins it and Rock then challenges, no? I wouldn't surprised if the show ends with Cena winning the title and The Rock coming out for a staredown.

And thankfully Cena gets to win the one that matters.

The Rocks going to win the WWE Title and he's not going to beat Cena twice in a row.

This time next week, Punk will still be champ. If not, I will abdicate my internet championship avatar for one month and replace it with a picture of a wrestler of WrassleGAF's choosing. Just reply here with your choice of wrestler.

I agree with you, but the people who respond to this should really have to make the same sacrifice if Punk keeps the title.

Either they put Punk super-over with a heel turn next week or Cena wins.

Cena's winning, isn't he?

50/50 really.

Yes, it's Cena. But really, he could still lose due to interference by, oh I dunno, The Rock.

Well, I don't think any new stars will be debuting next week, that's for sure. WWE's going to want to focus with what they already have on their 1000th episode.

JehutyRunner · (07-17-2012, 05:14 PM)

I'm hoping Cena turns heel next week by end of Raw. I really do.

He has his match against Punk, but Punk retains. Cena therefore becomes the first person to cash MITB and lose.

And that's the final straw that'll snap after an "embrace hate" feud against Kane, losing to The Rock at Wrestlemania and the Brock Lesnar situation. The dark John Cena will emerge. And it's the perfect occasion too with Raw 1000! It's all set up!

Cena's gonna be holding the belt by end of Raw next week, isn't he? :(

Disagree.

HHH-Brock has been in no way the central focus of...well anything. It wasn't on last night's show, and it wasn't heading into MITB. I'll give you the point on Cena's MITB match, but that's Cena. The AJ angle is directly connected to Punk, so your point is incredibly diluted. And no one has discussed the Rock or his pursuit of the WWE championship since he last appeared on the Raw after Wrestlemania.

Punk is the #2 guy in the company. As I said before, he's a top merchandise seller, a fan favorite at shows, and a top earner. Calling him mid-card is silly.

Will you explain to me how you can be behind your own storyline?

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Screw the avatar. For one month, no goddamn anime whatever picture posts from you in the OT. That should be the bet.

I agree. Twenty years of watching wrestling and I couldn't care less any more. I try so hard to watch and gain some interest like Punk v. Bryan at MitB, but I have to admit that it's just not there. The PPV was is in Phoenix where I live and I didn't give a shit.

You're crazy if you think HHH-Brock Lesner isn't ahead of Punk. The match is going to main event Summerslam for gods sake.

It's not his, it's AJ's and he's not even in it anymore.

Cena-Punk is the likely main event of Summer Slam.

AJ storyline aside, you aren't including him as a part of The Rock or John Cena's storyline? That seems bizarre as hell.

Punk has been alluding to both of them for weeks now, but it's not his duty to directly call either of them out

HHH will no sell the decline, Sledge hammer Lesner and put a pen in unconscious Lesner's hand and sign the contract for him if he has too.

He's part of the Cena storyline now finally. He still won't get a main event match.

In the "real world", Lesnar wouldn't need to accept HHH's challenge. He could just sue HHH, and Heyman can sue HHH and they'll both win their cases to get all that $$$.

But Brock is a FIGHTER. Triple H is a FIGHTER. That's what they do, they FIGHT!
