WWE RAW Review: CM Punk Urns Respect

WWE-RAW I don€™t know what happened. RAW had been really good for the past two or so weeks. This week, we went back into the darkness where every segment felt dragged out and none of the matches really made sense. The ending of RAW went on waaaaaay too long and the middle of the show was once again filled by Triple H ultimately saying the same thing he has been saying since SummerSlam of last year. With only 12 days left before Wrestlemania, the fact the WWE is throwing together matches at the last minute has me seriously worried about how The Grandest Stage of Them All is going to play out. OPENING SEGMENT Last night€™s RAW kicked off with CM Punk coming to the ring with the Undertakers urn. He said the same thing he said last week (this is going to be a reoccurring theme throughout this article so prepare yourself) about beating the streak, the urn not meaning anything to him, etc. The saving grace of this segment was that when the lights went out, Undertaker actually appeared (sans Skyrim Thieves Guild outfit) and attacked Punk. This finally heats the feud up and isn€™t the same talky stuff we€™ve seen for the past couple weeks. I am starting to lose interest in this feud though because everything has already been said. Sure, Undertaker has motivation to take out Punk but what motivation does Punk have besides beating the Streak? It sucks that a feud that started so hot has already started to fizzle out because nothing new is being brought to the table. Thankfully, Wrestlemania is happening soon because I don€™t think I could sit through another 2-3 weeks of build-up. FANDANGO ENTRANCE Fandango makes his way to the ring in the same over-the-top fashion as last week. And yes, it€™s still hilarious. Just as Fandango is about to say his name, Chris Jericho€™s music hits and he rushes the ring, attacking Fandango. We don€™t know who Fandango was supposed to face but his match was cancelled after he was attacked by Jericho. Fandango makes his way out of the ring and back up the entrance. Dolph Zigglers music then hits and the scheduled match between Chris Jericho and Dolph Ziggler begins.
