WWE: RAW Preview for 24th June

Last week’s RAW received praises from all the fans and critics alike. Now that we’re done and dusted with last week, we move on to North Charleston Coliseum in North Charleston, SC for this week’s Monday Night RAW. Going into the show, there are a lot of questions which have to be answered, and this week’s show promises to be a great one after the foundations were laid last week, as we move on to bigger feuds, better storylines and interesting matches on our way to Money in the Bank PPV next month. Last week’s RAW faded with the Second City Saint CM Punk laid out in the middle of the ring. What can we expect from this week’s episode? Let’s find out.

‘Paul Heyman Guy’ no more?

Arguably, the biggest news coming out of last week’s RAW was the ending of the show. CM Punk returned last week at Payback PPV to defeat Chris Jericho in his hometown, and the next night, made his RAW return and faced Alberto Del Rio in the main event of the evening.

Punk told Heyman he wasn’t his client, but his friend, and when Punk refused Heyman’s presence at ring side for his bout, that was when things got interesting. While Punk won his match via count out, his celebration was cut short by the returning Brock Lesnar, who hit the ring and asked for a microphone.

While it looked like the two ‘Paul Heyman Guys’ would have a verbal duel, the tension quickly escalated as Brock Lesnar dropped Punk with a huge F-5 to close the show. Now the question on everyone’s mind is, what will Heyman say? Did he ask his client to attack Punk? Where will Heyman stand among the rubbles? And what will CM Punk do? With the return of the Straight Edge Savior, RAW has become a lot more interesting!

Survival of the fittest

Last week on RAW, Daniel Bryan took on Orton to show the world he isn’t the ‘weak link’, but the match had to be ended abruptly due to a stinger suffered by Bryan. Post match, it was reported that Bryan blew a gasket in front of Triple H backstage, and the two exchanged some heated words.

On Smackdown!, Bryan won the rematch, but not the way he wanted. So this brings us to this week, as a third Bryan vs Orton match has been announced for the show. How will this match end? Will Bryan finally defeat Orton via pinfall? Or will Orton get one over his former team mate? And will last week’s altercation with Triple H cost Bryan? We’ll have to wait and find out!
