MARKED OUT! …checked out… RAW 07/08/13

MARK HENRY / *WWE Champion* JOHN CENA: MARKED OUT!

Great segment. Cena started out a little lazy for me, a little boring, but once Henry got in the ring, I felt like this segment took off. Good stuff from Henry. He’s really selling his heel character to everyone. He’s such a monster. It’s very awesome for any fan that loves to see people truly succeed as the character they are trying to convey. Great work.

CHRIS JERICHO def. *Intercontinental Champion* Curtis Axel: MARKED OUT!

I enjoyed this bout. The Miz annoyed me on commentary, but other than that, I was into this match. Jericho and Axel have great chemistry together and can really just flat out wrestle.

Axel gets distracted by Miz of course, allowing Jericho to get the W, but overall I thought the storytelling, wrestling, and finish in this one was great. Could have used Ryback running out to attack Jericho though. I think it would have pushed the WWE Universe to care about that match just a little more. At this point, I just feel like this match may have been created to give Ryback his first PPV victory, which I hate the thought of greatly.

*World Heavyweight Champion* ALBERTO DEL RIO vs. SIN CARA: …checked out…

I don’t even know what the result of this match was? A DQ? A double-count out? A No Contest? WHAT HAPPENED?

The interference from Ziggler was awkward, and it led to the most awkward ending to a match that I’ve seen in a while. No one on commentary knew what happened, and none of them could make an official call on the match. Ugh. WEAK. Next.
