Howdy Blog O' Doomers!
Nothing too exciting this week. Should be another interesting show on RAW as the company's only two storylines of note right now will continue to progress.
I agree with our Smackdown guy, Thomas Hall, when he says that it would be nice for Daniel Bryan to have a few bright moments tonight since he's been left laying for the last three shows. I get where they are going but at a certain point if you make Bryan too much of a plucky underdog and don't have an immediate PPV payoff the whole angle goes sour. If they want to drag his chase out to the Survivor Series or even farther they have to at least make it look like he's on even ground.
I'm also curious at how much people will buy into this Orton reign. Looking at his divorce records he's making about 2-3 million/year so there's a major investment in this guy and this might be the time where they are looking to see if he can really draw some money. I understand the point that, for the most part, the WWE machine is the money draw, but the top guys have to bring some of the goods to the table for the machine to move.
Otherwise I'm hoping Punk can carry a really good match out of Curtis Axel and maybe Dolph Ziggler won't be booked to look like a weakling.
That being said, enjoy the show and come out swinging but, like always, keep it clean.
