Reaction to Raw 1.28.08
We had a pretty good Raw on Monday night as we are starting to build not only towards No Way Out in February, but also the huge Wrestlemania 24 card. Cena's opening was great to see as he stood in the ring despite boos and hatred and announced he was happy to be back for it. I'm sure there's many upset fans right now, but in all honesty the WWE would not delay bringing their flagship star back as soon as possible. The big question is, was his injury just not as serious as thought, or did he just rehab super fast? It's hard to say, but according to reports Cena was working extra hard to rehab and get back to the ring sooner.
The Elimination Chamber was what many people were expecting for No Way Out. However there had been rumors that Undertaker would win it. As we see now, Undertaker is not a part of this match. So the odds on favorite to win the chamber are now Triple H and Jeff Hardy. I think many fans want that Triple H vs. John Cena match at Wrestlemania for the WWE title. However, Cena still hasn't won the WWE title back, and you have to wonder if the WWE still has a plan in mind. Maybe a Triple Threat match is looming for Wrestlemania with Triple H-Cena-Orton, or even Hardy in it.
A few other things were definitely notable on Raw. We got a tease from Maria when Melina yanked her tights. Maria is already reported to be in the pre-Wrestlemania Playboy magazine. Santino continues to ham it up and is pretty funny at times, which is a good thing for Raw. Also, during the Chamber highlights shown it sure looked like Chris Benoit being thrown into the chamber wall. That would be a no no for WWE after they so vehemently pulled him from every spot they could, for obvious reasons. The other thing of note is that it looks like Nike is backing or partnering with WWE. Triple H was wearing a Jordan track jacket and JBL had on the Nike swoosh jacket backstage. Is Nike an official sponsor? It would seem odd for a company of Nike's stature to back the controversial WWE, but anything's possible with Mania coming up in a few months.
