1. Long-Anticipated Debut
Boy, nice of the WWE World Heavyweight Champion to put over that new youngster in his first match on Raw, wasnt it? In all seriousness, it was pretty cool to see Sting wrestle his first match on Raw, a real treat for those who turned the channel away from Monday Night Football. We also got an intriguing tag team pairing, with John Cena joining the Stinger to combat Seth Rollins and the Big Show. This came after the Sting/Show match broke down and Teddy Long er, Triple H made it a tag match, playa! Stings involvement looked to be minimal throwing punches in the singles match and standing on the apron for the hot tag in the other match so either theyre saving his involvement for the PPV, or hes really limited in the ring. Safer money is on the former in this case. Either way, that was a nice sendoff for fans, a chance to see Sting register his first win in WWE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfI8bzgxbPA Of course, logic would say that since he beat Rollins on the go-home Raw, hes losing at Night of Champions, right?
