That's the first live Raw I've watched in a while, and while the first half of the show was great, I was really worn out by the end, and I had almost no interest in Orton/Sheamus. Still, lots of good setups for Elimination Chamber on Sunday, and I'm still more hyped than anything for the Wyatts vs. the Shield, especially with them finally getting physical with each other at the end of Raw. Both Bray and Roman Reigns are (hopefully) going to be stars in the future, so hopefully the 6-man tag match on Sunday is a great one, and raises the stocks of both even more.
And while I've never cared for John Cena in the ring, tonight proved that with the right opponent, he can put on one hell of a show. His match vs.Antonio Cesaro was one of my favorites in a long time, and probably tied with Wyatt/Bryan as my early favorite for match of the year. Lots of great offense and creative counters from both guys, and while Cena winning was predictable, Cesaro really benefitted from that match. That strong showing combined with a win over Orton (plus whatever he does on Smackdown/EC) hopefully legitimizes him as a real contender going forward. Hard to believe that just 7 or 8 months ago he was coming down to the ring while yodelling.
