Off-Air Notes From Raw

After the taping, Bray Wyatt said it’s time to have some real fun. He picked up John Cena’s shoe which had fallen off down the ramp and said, “Harper knocked Cena clean out of his shoes!” A ‘John Cena’s shoe’ chant started which was sang along to in the style of his theme tune…funny! Wyatt issued an open challenge to anyone who has the gaul to brawl. The Shield came out and hit their spots to send the crowd home happy whilst Cena continued to sell on the floor.

Other Notes

The majority of matches were poor. Superstars was taped before where Cody Rhodes and Jack Swagger put on a decent match. But other than that most of the card was quite below par in terms of match quality. Seth Rollins and Batista did not have ANY chemistry at all.

It was hilarious to see everyone leave for a toilet break when Alicia Fox made her entrance, only to turn and run back when they heard Paige’s music!

Before the show started Justin Roberts introduced the German announce team, which seemed odd. Was this just for the purpose of Dean Ambrose running across the two tables? Pointless.

The Adam Rose chant continued on the way out of the arena and even spilt into the London Underground tubes! Expect this to catch on as the new Fandango type sing-a-long

Luke Harper can clearly go in the ring and seems very underrated at the moment.
