Title This: WWE Raw Reaction 10-29

October 31, 2012

The Main Event

With the loss by Ryback, it was all about CM Punk. From the beginning of the night, Punk was able to get instant heat from the crowd. Mick Foley came out and talked down to the champion. This was a really good promo by both men, and set up a Team Foley vs. Team Punk for Survivor Series. The teams would be announced later on in the show. This would be the night's main event, with the revelation of the teammates of both Foley and Punk. This was the most PREDICTABLE garbage I have ever seen. Punk and Heyman reveal The Miz, Rhodes Scholars, and Alberto Del Rio for his teammates. Here is where it gets good (Can you sense my sarcasm?) Foley introduces Team Hell No, Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton, and Ryback as his team. Foley explains that he will not fight, but be in the corner of his team. Are you kidding me? This is the best that the WWE can do for Survivor Series? Unless they add a great stipuation, like one team will walk out with all the championships, what the hell is the point? Does anyone care if one team wins with nothing but Bragging Rights on the line? I sure do not. Also, WWE Hell in a Cell should have culminated some feuds, but they add four matches from the card to main event Survivor Series. I am sorry, but something needs to happen, or I will absolutely not be interested in this match. Put every title on the line in the match. If not, we will rely on Antonio Cesaro, Eve, and The Big Show to defend their championships. That will never draw Pay Per View buys. Where is Brock Lesnar? Where is Triple H? This is your fourth biggest PPV of the year, so treat it like one.
