Raw Five-Point Preview: Sept. 24, 2012 

Direct from WWE.com

 

And you thought CM Punk was mad before? No, no, no, that was a warm-up, a preview, an aperitif, if you will, of the fury that’s sure to spew forth from The Second City Saint following his controversial defeat at the hands of John Cena last week on Raw. In case you’ve forgotten, The Straight Edge Superstar was pinned by the Cenation leader despite the fact that Punk had his foot on the ropes, a seemingly egregious oversight by the referee who officiated the contest. As Raw went off the air, Punk was berating the ref all the way back to the locker room on TV and WWE.com (WATCH), and speculation has been running rampant as to how the WWE Champion will respond to the controversy this week.

Oh also, Kane & Daniel Bryan will be in the house. Admit it, you’re excited. Here are five things to look forward to on Raw.

Prime Time payback

The Prime Time Players didn’t exactly mince words last week on Raw when they laid out Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara, took hold of the microphone, and declared they would never have championship opportunities “taken” from them ever again. From then on, the Players vowed, they would take what they want. This, needless to say, is an ominous sign for a tag team division that is suddenly motivated doubly to take the Tag Titles from the odd-couple duo that came out of nowhere to claim them. How will The Prime Time Players put their plan into motion? And speaking of which …

Friends 4-Ever

OK, so Kane and Daniel Bryan can’t quite seem to stop costing each other singles matches. But anger management must be working, because the two were in perfect sync last Friday on SmackDown when they made beautiful music with a pair of steel chairs to end out the show. And they group-hugged Edge. (WATCH) We’d talk about how they plan to go about keeping their Tag Team Championships safe from the likes of The Prime Time Players and Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara, but in complete honesty? We just want to see what they do next.

Feed him more … couches

So, Ryback threw a couch last week. A COUCH. And while frankly we could spend the next week happily watching him haul heavy furniture with the greatest of ease, we’re relatively sure the intended recipient of the leathery projectile — Intercontinental Champion The Miz — won’t be too happy about it. Remember, Ryback interrupted the debut of “Miz TV” before he went all Arnold Strongman Classic on the furniture. Miz hates being upstaged, and we’re pretty sure he’ll have words for the big man come Monday.

Who’s next for Punk?

The WWE Universe likely expected to see another row between Punk and John Cena at some point this week, but following Cena’s orthoscopic surgery Tuesday to remove bone chips from his elbow, it’s unlikely the Cenation leader will be mixing it up in the ring anytime soon. And although Cena made it clear that he will be at Raw this week, it’s looking like The Second City Saint will have to find himself another opponent for the evening. Which brings us to …

Official’s statement

Hoo boy, is CM Punk gonna be mad on Monday. Superstars, Hall of Famers and officials alike haven’t been able to escape the wide-cast net of rage from Punk or his manager/buddy/mouthpiece/who-knows-we’re-still-not-entirely-sure-what Paul Heyman. The mad scientist of Extreme also isn’t above parading out one of the zebras for some magnanimous gloating over a decision that favored Punk (see: Patton, Chad). We’re pretty sure the poor sap from last week who counted Punk to the mat is gonna have some hell to pay when he’s in the ring with the WWE Champion. See you guys at 8/7 CT for all the mayhem.

How great it is to see Jerry “The King” Lawler at home and talking about the heart attack he suffered less than two weeks ago. Here’s Jerry in his own words.

Cena Has Surgery to Remove Bone Chips

Source: WWE.com

WWE.com has learned John Cena had surgery to remove bone chips in his right elbow today. Dr. Andrews removed several pieces of bone cartilage from Cena’s elbow through a scope.

“He had begun to lose motion in his arm, and it had been locking up,” Andrews said. “I performed an orthoscopic procedure on his elbow and took out a bunch of spurs. Everything went really well.” Andrews described the procedure as “straight-forward” despite Cena’s “big, old arm.”

Cena is expected to recover in two to three weeks. An update on his recovery time is expected Thursday when he is reevaluated. As more information comes available, WWE.com will inform the WWE Universe.“Cena’s rehab will start on Monday with trying to improve his range of motion and getting the swelling down,” Andrews explained.

Updated:

John Cena addressed the Cenation following surgery Tuesday afternoon. Cena tweeted:

Leaving the #AndrewsInstitute what a super surgeon #DrJamesAndrews is. U guys have my word, i will do whatever i can to be active ASAP …

Because of who I have become, i DAILY deal with large doses of negativity. No biggie, always #riseabovehate but seeing all your messages …

Lawler Continues To Improve

We continue to give praise to God for the way that Jerry “The King” Lawler has progressed since his heart attack one week ago live on the Raw telecast. News is that he will be going home to Memphis from the hospital in Montreal later this week. His sense of humor is back, and as is normally the case, Michael Cole is the butt of many of his jokes.

Special mention were made tonight at the beginning of the Night of Champions to the doctor and EMT’s for saving Lawler’s life.  JBL, who filled in for The King, praised Michael Cole for his actions on getting the attention of the doctor so quickly.

Keep praying, but it looks like “The King”, with some divine intervention, is going to make it through this ordeal!
