7 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (Feb 24)

7. The Rock's RAW Antics

The dark segment following this week's episode of Monday Night RAW wasn't the typical, Roman Reigns wins to send 10% of the crowd home happy affair. The Rock emerged after the show drew to a close, despite being fired by Vince McMahon before it started (!), to film a scene for the Fighting With My Family Paige biopic.

The appearance of an actress playing AJ Lee compelled fans, being such an imaginative bunch, to chant CM Punk's name. The Rock, unlike Stephanie McMahon before him, didn't need a RAW staffer to anticipate the reaction and pen a very obviously rehearsed barb on his behalf. He simply attempted to meet the demand by supplying those in attendance with a phone call - a verbal exchange between the golden boy and persona non grata. Punk was out walking his dog, unfortunately. Like most of us, he had better things to do than sit through three hours of RAW.

Funnier still is that Triple H cannot do a thing about it. The Rock, who also unsuccessfully attempted to FaceTime Punk, is untouchable.

With CM Punk no longer there to bury, it seems assured that Triple H will make do with a surrogate. This is the same man who kicked Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett in his Prestons purely to make him out to be the hard man ahead of his WrestleMania XXIX match with Brock Lesnar. If I was Cedric Alexander, I'd probably give RAW a miss next week.
