With the biggest pay per view of the year behind us, it's that time of year where new story-lines are developed, new stars are born, and some superstars find new homes. On Raw, Jack Swagger almost cashed in his briefcase. The Hart Dynasty turned face as they took on ShowMiz. Orton dominated like only a viper can. And finally, Shawn Michaels says good bye to all the fans as he closes the book on his successful career.
Jack Swagger, the All American American Mr Money In the Bank, took out the WWE Champ, John Cena, and was seconds away from cashing in his briefcase. The fact that whomever holds the briefcase can randomly cash it in gives it so much more credibility. The champion has to watch his back at all moments. It should be interesting to see how far the WWE will push Swagger if (or when) he wins the gold. Also, with the draft around the corner, which show would be better suited for a new champion? I'd prefer Raw to help build his character but SmackDown always has better wrestling which he is capable of. Time will only tell.
Bret Hart accompanied the Hart Dynasty to take on the Unified Tag Champs, ShowMiz. This face turn should have happened when Bret had originally came back to the company. The Harts have been jobbing for awhile now and they deserve a little push since that have incredible talent. I guess Cryme Tyme will just have to face someone else on a week in week out basis, unless they split those two up.
John Cena needed to pick a partner to take on Batista and Swagger. Of course you'd want to take the most deadly superstar in the locker room, Randy Orton. The only problem I had with this was the fact that Cena didn't really have a problem with Orton. Those two have had such bad blood for one another over the years. It would have been better for Cena to say "I am going out on a limb here, but I need someone who hates Batista just as much as I do". Also, after Orton cleans house and picks up the win, he should have rko'd Cena as well. You know, Stone Cold style. Don't trust anyone.
Raw ended with one of the best "from my heart" speeches I have ever heard. Shawn Michaels' has earned a lot of respect for the way he has handled his departure. I honestly think he is finished wrestling all together. I imagine we will get a guest-host spot or maybe an eventual special guest referee job for the Hear Break Kid. Shawn is probably a little upset with how Flair has handled his retirement but unlike Flair, Shawn knows how to keep his money instead of spending it on divorces. The Taker/HBK match was a perfect way to go out and he will be missed every Monday night. I wish the Showstopper all the best in whatever he takes on in life.
Until Next Time... I'm Just Sayin!
