Drew McIntyre is blatantly telling Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods that none other than John Cena will replace both in the WWE Title picture later this summer. OK, maybe not - the big Scot was actually warning Kofi to stay out of his business heading into the Hell In A Cell pay-per-view on 20 June.

The Cena joke is relevant though.

WWE teased big match John's return on this week's Raw, and that wasn't the only subtlety they snuck into the three hour flagship. Asuka paid (presumably accidental) homage to horror movie villains, a company camera angle exposed the flaw in MVP's "VIP Lounge" plan, WWE might've spoiled next week's main event already and more.

The announcers also got counterproductive by roasting one midcarder's hopes and dreams for really no reason at all, and the graphics team picked some questionable career highlights for a couple of workers during their entrances. All that, along with big bumps, bruises, moonsaults to the face and more corny fire-related nonsense, is included here.
