I wouldn't worry about it. This is Henry's first match back at raw in forever so they're not going to bury all 3 guys in a guantlet match. Henry gets his win and by next week it will all be forgotten and things will be back to normal. We will be back into our usual programs of HHH/Orton for the title. Rotate every few months with Cena and then throw in Batista. Rinse repeat. By Wrestlemania we should have a fatal 4 way with Orton/HHH/Cena/Batista once again. Yaaaaawwwwnnnnnn

Of course first gauntlet match was Orton/Bourne which lasted 4 minutes and 2nd match was Orton/Swagger in which Swagger intentionally got counted out without any action. It was a clean finish and they booked Mizark Henry as a face.

Did anyone catch the vince/teddy segment from the PPV last night? When Vince did the Teddy dance I nearly busted a lung. I howled with laughter, I need to find a gif of that. Just awesome

Ugh, why did Gail Kim get moved to RAW? Looks like she'll yet again be lost amongst the shuffle, and released within a year given zero chance at any good feuds.

Well in singles he's on Smackdown. He and Edge will now show up on Raw due to having the tag belts.

Right now he just wouldn't fit into the mix with Punk and Hardy, but once that's resolved I don't think he's far from the main event picture on SD.

Ok so I havent watched any wrestling in a while (probably since Backlsh), but Im gonna start again with the rave reviews SD is getting.

One thing, Shelton Benjamin to ECW sucks, he deserves better. Also is Christian still there? If so that's insane, the guy got insane pops at WM and is a great worker.

According to rajah.com/fwonline.com, Edge tore his achilles last night.

That's unfortunate. Wrestling is a better place when only the Batistas of the world get hurt.

Sucks, but Edge's character probably benefits from some time off.

Looks like Legacy gets the tag titles after all, being the only credible tag team left. Who the hell do we have for face teams, Cryme Tyme and that's it? Jeez

Kofi and Evan Bourne? Neither has anything to do right now.

This is definitely a statement on how little the US title means now.

They could have some combination of Jericho/Ziggler flip out and take out Edge.

Off-topic but I'm going to be psyched to see CM Punk/Undertaker or Chris Jericho/Undertaker when he returns.

It was also taped from last week. Dibiase might be pretty damn good in a few years.

Carlito vs. Primo feud will be hella boring

<3 Gail Kim, please get the title on Beth Phoenix soon so we can see what will be one of the best women's feuds ever

Do we really need Big Show winning the US Title for Kofi? That'll do nothing for the division

What is this, the 4th Triple Threat PPV ME we've seen between Orton/HHH/Cena?

Carlito/Primo could be good wrestling if they gave them the necessary time, but they won't, and the writing aspect will most likely be awful.

If they can't get Matt vs. Jeff right, with all the build-up that had, this feud will be stone awful. Carlito either needs to get repackaged or released because I just don't think his gimmick will ever get him out of mid-card, face or heel. It's just such a tired act. Primo is definitely fun to watch but he needs to either get repackaged or go to ECW as to not get lost in the RAW shuffle. And yeah, I doubt they're giving necessary time, and I'd be shocked if it was a Summerslam match even though it should be.

I still think Legacy could turn face despite their intereference in the main event last night. I mean I guess there can be a heel vs. heel tag team match at the ppv but it would be highly unusual.

I don't see Cody Rhodes turning face anytime soon. There's been speculation he could get released with more lackluster performances. Dibiase Jr. has a lot of potential but Rhodes comes off very bland and boring to me at least. Just a shame so much more could have been done with Legacy but they've really written Legacy to be a joke and Orton to be a huge pussy as a champion.
