WWE RAW 3/11/2013: 5 Things We Learned

By JD Shrader /

1. The Absence of The Rock and John Cena Speaks Volumes

This week's RAW program was a slow moving affair. Not even the on-screen return of The Undertaker and the storyline with the passing of Paul Bearer could make it any more watchable. While we understand the need for John Cena and The Rock to limit their TV appearances this far out from Wrestlemania, it is still questionable that the WWE Champion was not even in the building this week. Cena worked a dark match after the show went off the air, but without he and The Rock, this week's program felt more like a time filler than a show meant to sell us and get us fully invested in The Road to Wrestlemania. Here's hoping next week the ball really starts to roll with these two, and they can build upon that amazing initial promo exchange they had last week. Let's discuss! On Twitter: @davyshrader
