Monday Night RAW Preview 5/20/13

by Bobby Shark on May 20, 2013 in Show Preview with No comments

Well, this is a famous/familiar spot.

So much out of Extreme Rules last night – and it all will spill over unto the stages of tonight’s Raw!

  • The Shield swept – taking the US and Tag titles. It certainly seems they cannot be stopped.
  • Brock Lesnar did was he does best in a cage – pummel a man.
  • John Cena and Ryback ended in absolute brutal fashion – expect injury updates on all!
  • Alberto Del Rio is the new #1 Contender for the WHC! Seriously, don’t do drugs kids.

Lots of major moments last night – but what could this be? A possible THIRD member to the Heyman stable for Excellence and Achievement in Sports Entertainment?

It’s going to be a good night!

It’s time once again for a wrap up of our weekly top 5 performers, our Fave Five as Booker T would say, based on THIS PAST week of action. Since the WWE week traditionally starts each Monday on Raw we’re also including last night’s Extreme Rules PPV.

Based on highly subjective criteria, here are OUR findings, with CDW writers voting for their top 5 names in all of Professional Wrestling for the week. Could be managers, could be superstars, could be announcers.

Disagree with our results? Want to argue a placement? Want to name your top 5? Feel free to leave a comment or message us on twitter: @dukeswrestling. We’ll gladly name names of who voted for whom, and demand the defend themselves.

Hit the jump for the results for this week.

#FlyingElbowsBeforeHoesLong weekend = quick recap.  Great PPV last night from the sounds of it.  Here we go!

Extreme Rules – LOP

A lot went on at the PPV last night.   Here is a general link to a well trusted site I use a lot in Lords of Pain.  Not only will they have all the analysis of the title changes and retains, but some instead opinions on how each of the matches went down.  From the sounds of it, crowd was particular mad about how one ended.  Here is a hint, Cena/Ryback didn’t win any fans over.  I did not get a chance to watch the PPV.  With out any “must see” matches in my opinion, I did not shell out the money.  Nevertheless, its a good PPV to catch up on.
