The Last Perfect WWE Raw

After CM Punk banters a John Cena DVD trailer off the face of the earth, we get an Old West tee-up for 'The Champ's final words later in the show, as if the gunslinger really did have no choice but to leave town.

Lay-Cool can't get into the building next because they're not welcome on Raw since losing the Divas Championship to Natalya the prior night. The point here is that they can't just float between shows as they're purely SmackDown superstars. The door's slammed in their faces, they're livid, the crowd pop and your writer needs a minute to soak up a comedy segment with more continuity than WrestleMania 36's Universal Championship match.

Onto Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov next and the intentionally hilarious sight gag of Tamina strumming a ukulele in the room with them to further a romance angle that goes down brilliantly with the live audience. To Randy Orton briefly who puts over John Cena's hustle, loyalty and respect before The Miz no-shows a King Of The Ring qualifier (due to an “anxiety attack”) against Ezekiel Jackson, allowing protege Alex Riley to take a profoundly satisfying sh*tkicking instead. WWE underplayed Miz simply blowing this opportunity off, but we all knew enough of his cowardice to work out a real reason by ourselves. Or so we all thought.

More. On. That. Later.
