Every time I see it, I love the knee kick more and more. Rollins sells it like he got blasted with a f***in' shotgun. And they got it on camera this time!

so seriously, what the hell was that supposed to accomplish? Trips may just be the dumbest "evil genius" since Dick Dastardly. Yeah why did HHH book that? Unless he wants to convey an image of "I am not biased to anyone on the roster" and just sacrifice Shield just for a week. But that doens't help the Corporations or Ortons momentum at all, so why would he do it, even with the reason above. Hopefully the weel;y WWE.Com interview or on SD will explain why...I really hope If we are talking specifically about match quality: I loved it and it was booked perfectly

I always forget to turn the channel after Raw, until I hear some sarcastic "witty" banter.

Though if the Shield keeps kissing his ass after that, they're even bigger idiots than Triple H is.

Just so y'all know, I'm going to have this theme on standby for Raw next week since it'll be just 3 hours of bloody flogging of the Yes! Team so The Shield can get their heat back for Battleground.

No respect for Truth, Ryder and Gabriel makes it 4 on 3 and the Shield could overcome that. Maybe he even planned to send Show out at some point before Steph pushed him earlier in the show and the Rhodes family reminded him of earlier actions.

Honestly I think the idea was to plant the seeds for The Shield turning on HHH and going renegade again. Not face exactly but tweener. In the grand scheme of things though, the babyfaces got the illusion of a big win tonight. It means nothing to beat guys 11 on 3. The Shield took out 7 guys. And HHH saw to it that the guy who pseudo led the rebellion to save Daniel Bryan (RVD) was massively beaten and wounded going into the PPV.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: The whole HHH/RVD aspect of this storyline is more interesting than the silent movie villain antics HHH is doing with Bryan. Instead of being overtly a heel boss, HHH actively seeks out RVD's feedback only to then put him in matches designed to injure him. This scenario started during the town hall on SD where HHH first put him against Orton and Van Dam took the DDT on the floor and a Del Rio post match attack. Ryback tried to take out RVD on Raw. Del Rio refused to let go of the armbar at the PPV and took a DQ. The whole scenario last week with HHH "apologizing" to RVD, giving him the title match, and Del Rio attacks. And of course tonight's epic mauling. HHH obviously is behind all of this but there is no conniving segment showing HHH, Del Rio, and Orton plotting against RVD, no overt promos, just a series of deliberate attacks with the intent on taking out RVD.

I suspect that HHH may attempt to fire the Shield and replace them with the Wyatt's for no real reason. The Corporate Wyatts could actually work, especially if HHH and Steph initally had trouble controlling them.

I think H was banking on the Yes Brigade to be demoralized and weakened before the big match, hence those matches pitting certain members of the team against ruthless opponents. I don't think Trips anticipated unexpected outcomes like the Rhodes family attacking The Shield before the match.

Best part of RAW - Dr. Keith Lipinski as head of security.

I just noticed that the WWE website actually referred to Bryan's knee attack as the Busaiku Knee, so I guess that's the name they're going to use.

A little late on this but, I had to laugh when they showed the 30 seconds of RKOs video, they had a plug-in on-screen commonly used to illegally download YouTube videos.

I know that there is going to be a Rhodes Family/Shield match eventually, but I really want an Ambrose/Goldust match. Just give them fifteen minutes on a random Raw.
