So I caught RAW for the first time in months

And seriously, WTF? Was it really necessary to spend most of the first quarter of the show setting up the main event? And we get it already.... Cena and JBL do not like each other. Have them actually wrestle instead of wasting time on other shit, and maybe the ratings will go back up.

Finally, I have to agree with something I read about the show. The only reason that Lawler got the beatdown from Kane at the end of the show is that they want Kane to stay a heel. Beating up Michael Cole will only make Kane the biggest face ever.
