cm-punk-2-1930979

There was indeed talk among WWE talent that CM Punk might return. They were told this this during Friday’s creative meeting, they didn’t know for sure until Monday afternoon. Wrestling Observer explains that was reason for the confusion. There was no plans to include Punk in the script but the crowd was fired up & the Paul Heyman open was added at the very last minute. The felling was that if they addressed it right at the beginning the crowd would settle down.

Ed’s Perspective: Here We Go Again – Another Punk Pipebomb

20130311_Video-Still_RAW_punk

Trevor has been all over the breaking news that it CM Punk will be in his hometown of Chicago tomorrow night for RAW. Here is the news: Breaking News: Respected News Source Reporting That CM Punk Will Be At RAW Tomorrow Night and here is Trevor’s prediction: CM Punk Return: Prepare For The Pipebomb.

This last second change comes after he earlier reported based on industry experts: CM Punk Not Expected At Monday’s Raw In His Hometown of Chicago and WWE Aware of Crowd Plans To Hijack This Monday’s Raw.

Each of those links comes from right here on DTRT Wrestling.com and I want to commend Trevor on the thoroughness of his coverage on this topic.

Now my perspective. I SMELL A GOOD OLD FASHIONED WORK has been cookin’ – and I for one am not a bit happy about it.

First of all, look at the Pipebomb of 2011 from Punk:

Now please, don’t get me wrong, I enjoy when a superstar gets the opportunity to blast on things that are on his mind. Hell, even Fox News covered that pipebomb in 2011. Punk said things that you or I might have been saying, but he had a nationally televised platform.

So why am I upset that we can expect another one tomorrow? Well, to me it appears to make Punk seem to be a cry baby and I don’t believe that he is. It appears that every time Punk doesn’t get his way, he walks out – Vince begs him to come back or stay and gives him an open mic as his reward.

Pipebomb 2011 had a purpose.

Pipebomb 2014 smells rotten to me. All the coverage over the last several weeks, and here it’s all going to be resolved just in time for Punk to make his triumphant return in of all places – his hometown of Chicago and shortly before Wrestlemania.

I know that works are a big part of this business, but I hate being made feel like I’m a big sucker – and if this really is a work then I think the WWE has disrespected us fans, manipulated all those people who paid good money for shows and missed seeing Punk for the last several weeks, and tried to make us look like stupid sheep.

And that’s the bottom line – cause …………

Paul Bearer WWE Hall Of Fame Announcement

raw-header 750

Hulk Hogan returns to RAW. He will likely look to get reacquainted with the WWE Universe before he handles the hosting duties of WrestleMania XXX, but the landscape of WWE has drastically changed since The Hulkster last came home. With new faces like The Authority, The Wyatt Family & Daniel Bryan in play, is “The Immortal One” already in danger? Or will he show them once again, where the power lies?

The Wyatt Family defeated The Shield last night at Elimination Chamber. What awaits The Shield? Can they right the ship once more? Or is it the end of one of the most dominate groups in WWE history?

Randy Orton will defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Batista at WrestleMania XXX. How will Orton kick off the road to his biggest title defense ever? Will The Authority be forced to pick sides between Triple H’s two protégés?

The WrestleMania main event hopes of both John Cena & Daniel Bryan were dashed inside the Elimination Chamber thanks to outside interference: Both The Wyatt’s & Kane forced their way inside The Chamber, much to the detriment of Bryan & Cena. Neither Superstar has been one to take this sort of injustice lying down, so what’s in store for The Wyatt’s & Kane?

The WWE Network launched today. Fans can experience the RAW Pre-Show & Backstage Pass.

Also rumored to appear are Brock Lesnar, Ric Flair & The Undertaker.

RAW Preview

raw-header 750

Randy Orton is in deep trouble. The Authority’s faith in him seems to flip-flop every week, & The Viper hasn’t exactly risen to the challenge against his 5 Elimination Chamber opponents in singles competition. Orton is just 1-3 after hi upset loss to Cesaro on SmackDown & his final hurdle is against Sheamus tonight on RAW. The Apex Predator needs a win. Can he beat Sheamus?

The New Age Outlaws have been somewhat dismissive  of the notion of The Usos as legitimate contenders to their WWE Tag Team Titles. The Usos defeated The New Age Outlaws in an 8-Man Tag Team Match on SmackDown. Will The Usos finally get their opportunity at the Titles?

Jack Swagger defeated Rey Mysterio, Kofi Kingston & Mark Henry on SmackDown to become the #1 contender to Big E’s Intercontinental Championship. The Elimination Chamber is setting up to be a game-changer for Zeb Colter & his crew. Can Swagger stay on the rebound from his recent misfortunes & keep The Real Americans running strong?

Looks like strongly worded reprimands aren’t going to do much for Daniel Bryan, who gave his old buddy Kane a stronger reprimand right to the face courtesy of a running knee last Monday on RAW. Will there be another confrontation between them tonight on RAW?

Alberto Del Rio got what he wanted – he will face Batista at Elimination Chamber – and he also may have gotten more than he bargained for, as a Batista Bomb through the announce table last week. Now that The Animal has zeroed in on Del Rio as his target, Del Rio has to start thinking strategy. Can Del Rio find a way to neutralize Batista before the Elimination Chamber?

Coverage changes

He guys. It pains me to report this but at the moment my phone is at 53% and my charger is no longer working. I may be getting a new one in the next couple of days but if I don’t once my phone dies I will be MIA meaning I won’t be able to do live tweeting during Raw or live coverage during UFC170. I’m truly sorry guys. I wanted to give you all a heads up. Hopefully I’ll get a charger soon and I will be able to do the coverage. Thanks guys.
