WWE RAW: Superstar Ratings for 9th September

The ‘Go home’ RAW for the Night of Champions PPV came to us from the Air Canada Center in Toronto, Ontario Canada, and what a show it was! It marked the return of the ‘Rated R Superstar’ Edge who had a verbal confrontation with Triple H. The opening segment featuring Edge, Daniel Bryan and Triple H (Let’s leave Orton out of the picture, who just looked on from the ramp) was one of the best opening segments in weeks. Edge showed that he was still miles ahead of most of the current superstars on the mic, and proved once again why he is a 11 time World champion! Goldust and Santino Marella too made their returns this week. So who were the superstars that stole the show? Let’s find out.

5. Punk/Paul Heyman

I cheated with the fifth pick, as I couldn’t just select one. Punk and Heyman only got about 15 minutes, and unlike previous weeks, Punk didn’t come at the top of the third hour. Heyman tried to weasel his way out of the match on Sunday, and faked an injury. Heyman then said he couldn’t face Punk due to the injury, but was made to undergo a medical examination by a WWE sanctioned doctor, who said Heyman wasn’t hurt. This brought out CM Punk, who annihilated Axel and Heyman’s “doctor” while Heyman hightailed from the ring and into the crowd. Punk then unleashed vicious shots with a kendo stick, taking his frustrations out on Heyman’s physiologist. Heyman’s fear of Axel losing to Punk was evident on this week’s episode, and if I’m right, he’ll be introducing another “Paul Heyman Guy” this Sunday at the PPV. Heyman and Punk were brilliant as always in their respective roles.

Rating: ** ½
