#CancelWWENetwork and A Raw Snow Day, Rumble Recap and More

Don't feel bad for our snowed in superstars. By the looks of it, they all enjoyed their Monday night off. JBL braves the "Blizzard of 2015" to bring us a weather report from the top of WWE HQ in Stamford, Connecticut while the rest of the announcing team stays inside to deliver interviews and repeats of Sunday's Main Events. I'm not complaining. It gives me the opportunityto focus on details I missed watching The Rumble the first time around. 

Brock's stupid Jimmy John's shorts piss me off more than Kane's dress slacks. He missed half the match, at least half of the Raws, and he still keeps the belt. Could he really give it up to Roman Reigns after fans threaten to boycott the network? Assuming his injury is real, Brock will have plenty of time to heal up before this intense match up at Wrestlemania. 

The Rumble match was disappointing to say the least. I wouldn't even mention it if it wasn't for Bubba Ray. If you can't see why #CancelWWENetwork is happening you need to open your eyes! The fans are so unhappy that even The Rock got booed. According to TIME Magazine, "The network appears to have all but backfired as disappointing subscribtion numbers sent stock prices tumbling and lead to large-scale layoffs." Vince needs to make some game-changing plays before he runs the company into the ground.

Back! WWE Monday Night Raw Recap; Cena Appreciation Day!

Last week, Daniel Bryan surprised us by revealing his Royal Rumble return! YES! YES! YES! This week we witness the return of The Authority. The first order of business was to announce Seth Rollins' chance at Brock's belt at Royal Rumble. Next, a show of gratitude, naming Monday, January 5, 2015, "John Cena Appreciation Day." If you thought this was going to end well for Team Cena, you'd be saddly mistaken. 

Not only did they feel the wrath of The Authority during their matches, each member of Team Cena was fired at the end of the night. Kane's interuption during the night's first match indicated that Ziggler is a target of The Authority's bullying. J&J Security teamed up in the refs spot to make sure Eric Rowan went down. It took 2 opponents and 2 curb stomps to take The Big Guy down. Seeing as Ryback betrayed The Authority by switching teams, I was expecting him to go through hell on Monday. Leave with a bang. 

The main event needed more blood. I know its only Raw but it was the first ever Ambulance Match. Both men flew off the top of the rig to landing on his opponent below. But that was it. The match was boring and dragged out. Bray Wyatt threw Ambrose in the back of the ambulence and the match was over.

Raw is Jericho, SuperSmackDown, Tribute to the Troops and more

What a start to WWE week! Following TLC, Monday Night Raw opened to this week's GM, Y2J, announcing the night's 2 HUGE main events. A fan picked street fight with none other than Jericho, himself, and big mouthed Paul Heyman. Followed by rematch of Cena vs Rollins in a steel cage. The street fight couldn't even start before Brock Lesnar laid Jericho out with an F-5. No one expected any physical activity from Heyman. He may have put on some ring gear but that wasn't fooling anyone. I guess Brock feels the need to make up for lost time because he comes out during the steel cage match to remind Cena what he's in for at the Royal Rumble. Rollins hit Cena with a Curb Stomp and exits the cage.

USA Network switched up our regular schedules with a SuperSmackDown Live on Tuesday night. Raw gave us a taste of Roman Reigns but SmackDown showed Fandango what Reigns was really capable of doing. Rowan flies off the top to win the 6 man tag. The Ascension's vignette left me so confused. Did The Road Warriors find the fountain of youth? I don't know who has an easier job, Nikki or Kane. Ziggler nails a Zig-Zag for the win. That's what Rollins gets for talking too much. 

The 12th annual Tribute to the Troops airs tonight at 8pm. Promised to be the most patriotic and heart-warming show of the holiday season, WWE brings together the best of sports entertainment and pop culture. The Tribute will chronicle the Superstar's 2 day trip to Fort Benning, a performance by multi-platinum recording artists, Florida Georgia Line, special messages from a long list of celebrities, and I'm sure a few mediocre matches for good measure.
