MARKED OUT! …checked out… RAW 08/05/13

*WWE Champion* JOHN CENA / RANDY ORTON / DANIEL BRYAN / THE SHIELD / BRAD MADDOX Segment: MARKED OUT!

Cena actually gave a good promo in my opinion. He had attitude that hasn’t been there in a while. It was refreshing. Orton added a good dynamic coming out as well.

As soon as the Shield hit the arena, I knew D-Bry wouldn’t be too far behind, and a 6-man tag would be made for the main event by Maddox soon after. Great segment.

THE WYATT FAMILY def. TONS OF FUNK: MARKED OUT!

I usually don’t like anything dealing with the Tons of Waste…but they did a good job with the Wyatt Family. Good match, not great, but entertaining and set up Bray to come in and interact with Kane.

Kane’s vignette response to the Wyatts was pretty sweet. And we’re going to get some resemblance to an “Inferno Match” between Bray Wyatt and “The Big Red Machine” at SummerSlam, which could be pretty cool. Expect Kane to put Wyatt over in that one. NEXT!

LAYLA def. KAITLYN: …checked out…

Yeah…just didn’t feel this match at all. Next please…

CHRISTIAN def. HEATH SLATER: …checked out…

Just another match for Christian to win before he heads to SummerSlam and either gets the cheap victory by the aid of Rodriguez, or he loses clean. Either way…this match was filler. Meh. Next.

CM PUNK vs. *Intercontinental Champion* CURTIS AXEL No Contest: MARKED OUT!

EMOTION! Storytelling at it’s BEST! Punk and Axel going at it, Punk attacking Heyman, Lesnar attacking Punk, chair shots, F-5’s, and much, much, more! Crazy good segment.
