WWE managed to make up to all the regrets of its previous RAW and did good enough to carry on with the momentum that Payback created. With several new twists and turns, The Money in the Bank PPV looks intriguing already. Let us now look at the talking points of RAW this week.

1. Mark Henry’s fake retirement speech

Undoubtedly the best prank WWE and a wrestler has played on its fans. Hours after Payback, Mark Henry posted tweets that indicated him retiring. With the recent misunderstanding between WWE and Henry most fans fell for this tweet and the internet was abuzz with articles and opinions about Henry’s retirement. Little did they realize that Henry was out trolling everyone. John Cena was in the ring on RAW and speaking about how he will step up every time a challenge is put forth in front of him. Mark Henry comes out and speaks of how John Cena has become the best in the business and how he has overtaken Henry’s success despite Henry being in the WWE for a long time. The crowd gets into emotional chants praising Henry only to realize that Henry had not come out to retire but make a statement. Fans and Cena were stunned by the sudden attack on the Champ and this now brings forth an excellent feud for the month. Will Cena overcome all odds again and beat Henry in MITB to establish his hold as the next man of steel.
