Did you know that WWE has a PPV on Sunday? Did you also know that there are only five matches officially announced as of the close of Raw? If you were expecting to see the card filled out Monday night, you were disappointed. (Oh, but the tag champs New Day will appear on an episode of the Cutting Edge Peep show during the PPV.) Were on the Road to WrestleMania, but if you expected to see the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, then you were disappointed. If you thought youd see or hear from the Undertaker or a potential WrestleMania opponent, you were disappointed. If you wanted to see some star power from WWE to raise more interest in the product as Mania draws nearer, then you certainly were disappointed. But if you wanted to watch Zack Ryder lose, Brie Bella try to emote, and someone win a secondary title without pinning the champ, then this was your show. And if you felt that what was missing from WWE today was an award named after Vince McMahons dad, then this was certainly your show. For many though, its probably a safe bet that this wont stay on fans DVRs for very long. So what was recordable and what should be forgotten immediately? Lets find out
