8 Ups And 7 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (July 13th)

By Scott Carlson /

1. The Feud Must Continue

When King Barrett delivered a well-timed Bullhammer elbow to an airborne R-Truth last week, it looked like Barrett had finally knocked off the imposter king and could move on to an actual, real feud instead of constantly battling the court jester. Monday, we learned that not only was Truth back for more, but he would put away Barrett and don his bedsheet, paper crown and plunger/scepter to ensure that the feud continues. Since Barrett won the King of the Ring tournament in April, he and Truth have now faced each other five times in televised singles matches, with King What€™s Up winning four of them.That€™s not a feud, that€™s a lopsided squash. Of course, wins and losses don€™t matter in WWE, and so we€™re all treated to more matches between these two. The only saving grace to this embarrassment of a feud is that Barrett will actually put the King of the Ring crown on the line at Battleground, which would hopefully end the feud once and for all. Then again, it could just spark another long series of trading victories.
