Finally watched Shutter Island for the first time last night, and my Lord did that movie throw me off. Not a bad movie at all. Just definitely makes you think is all.

I think the Shield gets involved and they will say they are not helping Punk but serving justice because it's an injustice Punk has to fight Ryback when he is injured. I believe Ryback wins the Rumble and faces Big Show for the World Title at WM 29 and becomes World Heavyweight Champion while Punk, Cena and Rock will end up in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Title with Brock facing Undertaker at WM 29.

The Shield will then face Team Hell No for the Tag Titles at WM 29.

I am still just lost at the whole Brock situation. I do see you and Franchise bringing him up for Wrestle Mania on here, but don't quite understand. He seemed to be done with wrestling when he had walked away last time. I see the WWE does bring him up on a basis, but just can't see him returning for 1 more match. Unless it has something to do with Heyman?

I would love to see the RyBack - Big Show match, as I quite frankly am getting a little old with the Show. His gig the last few years seems a bit over-drawn.

Curious to how next weeks match between Punk and Ryback is going to end with the Rock showing up. With the Rock having his title shot this month against Punk, it seems impossible for Ryback to win. I do believe though after that small segment between Punk and Brad that he'll get involved some how.

Wondering if perhaps the Shield will get involved, as well as the Rock -- completely throwing it off.

Looking forward to next week, and actually did enjoy the end of last nights segment with Cena, AJ, and Dolph.

The beginning of tonight's Raw proves that Vince needs new creative writers. Having Del Rio who they are trying to turn into a face run over Santa makes no sense, especially for a face turn. If they were actually creative, they would have had CM Punk come out, cut a promo and deliver a GTS to Santa. I mean I understand the show was taped and they didn't put more into the show like they usually do but... COME ON MAN!

Lol, the only part of the show I enjoyed was Punks segment.

The Pittsburgh crowd chanting "Let's go Steelers!", followed by Punk -- "Really? I'm from Chicago, and I'm not even dumb enough to cheer for the Cubs."

I also enjoyed the "Mama" preview, but that wasn't wrestling.

Otherwise I do agree. They need to get some new writers or something.

Apparently another guy from NXT their developmental program called Big E. Langston. I'm all for new guys coming in but don't rush everyone up at once. Am I the only who thought bringing Langston up at this time is horrible considering he looks similar to Ryback?

Isn't or wasn't the Shield a part of NXT? If so, wouldn't that leave questions about AJ's affiliation with them?

Who was that last guy? Am I that out of wrestling? Or have I just missed something in the WWE?

Is AJ going to cost Cena the match this Sunday now?

Breaking News regarding TLC: CM Punk IS OUT of TLC and the scheduled WWE Title Match between Ryback vs Punk in a TLC Match is NOT going to happen. Punk had emergency knee surgery and from Vince himself has said that based upon the events at Raw, it will be a Team Hell No & Ryback facing The Shield in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match. This will be the first TLC match that can end in a pin or submission.

Vince also made note to mention that Ryback will STILL get his title shot at Ryback in the NEAR FUTURE.

Bah. I wonder if this means a triple threat match for the Rock, Punk, and Ryback at Royal Rumble. That would be fairly interesting.

Seems like they may have run out of ideas with Dolph, and the money in the bank brief case. By offering yet another shot at it between him and Cena, yet extending it out even further.

Pretty much, but that would kill any momentum Ryback has built up the last several months. I personally thought that it should have been Ryback vs Ambrose, Reigns and Rollins in a 3 on 1 Handicap Tables Match at TLC.

As for Armageddon, TLC replaced it beginning in 2009. Armageddon hasn't happened since 2008, same with the former April PPV, Backlash.

For some reason I thought it had still existed 2 years ago. Sheesh, my memory is starting to fail me at my age, lol. I remember BackLash disappearing. I just don't recall Armageddon being taken away.

I hate to ask, but what happened to the Pay Per View title Armageddon for December?

And RyBack in a TLC match for the title, just doesn't seem up his alley for some reason. More so for Punk. Safe to assume that it's going to be the Rock and Punk at Rumble then?

Ryback's mic skills aren't horrible but they're certainly not special. Better than Goldberg and more than good enough to keep him as a main eventer if he can continue improving his ring work.

I'm thinking it's all of the breathing that bothers you. Bothers me, too.

Yeah, that could very well be. I was never a fan of Goldberg's mic skills either. But I do agree though that RyBack does have the talent to be a main eventer.

I like RyBack's wrestling ability, however his mic skills bother me for some reason.

Anyone else feel the same?

Is this whole NXT story, like trying to start another Evolution type story?

The British crowd is great tonight.

That ref in the Ryback match, is the same ref that Punk had issues with the foot on the rope not too long ago. Makes me wonder if he's going to be part of the reason on how this match ends.

I knew it.

I can't believe the Big Show won.

So, does Ryback win tonight?

I don't know if you have guys have seen this but this video is simply amazing. Jim Ross sits down with CM Punk AND Stone Cold Steve Austin, discuss WWE 13, whether Austin thinks Punk would have survived in the Attitude Era and if Punk thinks Austin would survive in today's WWE, a possible CM Punk vs Austin match and MORE!

MUST WATCH!

Honestly I don't think Punk would last versus Stone Cold, if Steve was in his prime. Or for that matter in the Attitude ERA in general. I wonder how long Punk would have lasted in that day in wrestling. He probably would of fit better on wCw, IMO.

Vickie! Vickie! Vickie!

Oh boy...... I really like my chances of becoming a WWE Creative Writer now. Vince is angry backstage at Raw and he actually relieved head writer Bryan Gewitz of his duties and sent him home. In fact in a creative meeting, Vince said he wanted to see some changes and "nobody's job is safe" if he doesn't see changes.

Again, if this is all true, then I like my chances of getting a call from the WWE about being a creative writer, and anyone else want to join me apply now!

I'll apply.

It's going to end up being Cena, Ryback, and Punk in HIAC. Who wins?

That's what I thought but it might be his cast.

That is one crazy cast. Is that why he was gone last week? I missed the very beginning, so didn't hear any explanation of it.
