Cenanough

Well seeing as this is our first blog, we decided to make it a week review, we won’t always just round up the week, but we thought it was a good way to start out.

So, obviously the topic of discussion for this week is the Royal Rumble.

What else can you say? The company threw everyone for a loop on Sunday night as they brought back the biggest star in the company as John Cena returned as the 30th man in the Royal Rumble, danced with both Batista and Triple H, and in the end, won the event. I don’t think that if you would have asked 1,000 people Sunday morning that know the product who was going to win the Royal Rumble, anyone would have guessed Cena.

That’s right, he’s back and perhaps bigger than ever. What a difference a day makes as the wrestling landscape going into Mania has been blow wide open by the return of John Cena. After winning the Rumble it will only be a matter of time till he is champ again. The WWE wasted no time by moving the potential Orton and Cena Mania match to No Way Out in two weeks. Sorry Randy, It looks like your days are done as champ. Don’t feel to sad though, you’ll get another chance in years to come. This time I’m afraid you just weren’t ready as your inability to carry any heat on your own became very clear. This will speed up things and allow Triple H to enter back into the main event picture. Tonight we saw the announcement of the elimination Chamber match. It will be H, Jericho, Umanga, JBL, Jeff Hardy and HBK. The winner takes on the WWE champ going out of No Way Out. I for one do not like the idea of fast tracking Cena back to the championship. But that’s another blog for another day. We can’t be spoiling all the fun at once, how else will we get you to come back to this site?

So that’s it for Raw, moving on to ECW.

The Chavo Guerrero Champion’s Fiesta was crashed by CM Punk. Punk clearly will not go quietly as the former champ after getting screwed in a no DQ match by an Edge spear. Punk crashed the party dressed as a Mariachi band member and hit Chavo over the head with a guitar. So it looks like we will see these two reignite a feud. Should be interesting to see if Punk ends up with the belt as I see him winning Money in the Bank at Mania. Perhaps they will forgo a ECW title match or maybe Punk will win it back an drop it before Mania, much like he did for the Rumble. In other Punk news he beat Elijah Burke clean to gain momentum again. And I feel its safe to say Burke’s days are done. He had been missing from ECW in the past few shows and this loss pretty much buried him.

SmackDown, I hear you ask?

This week’s SmackDown gave us more incite into No Way Out. And it looks as if the WWE is going the way of TNA. Bring on the gimmick matches. Not only do we get to see the Elimination Chamber for the Raw superstars, we will now see it with the SmackDown stars as well. Tonight Teddy Long, in place of an injured Vickie Guerrero, announced the Undertaker, Batista, Khali, Bid Daddy V, Finlay and MVP will face each other. The winner will take on the Heavyweight champ at Mania. Let me say this is so lame, the WWE is bigger than this. They don’t need to use the same gimmick on the same card. Have they really run out of ideas. It should be interesting to see if they can pull it off. Both Chamber matches should last at least 45 minutes and will no doubt dominate the show. Is it possible to keep both matches fresh and interesting? I really think the WWE is setting themselves up for a clunker here.

The other match announced for No Way Out is the rematch of Mysterio and Edge. Saw this one coming since neither major contender for the belt, Batista and Taker, won the rumble. I think it is safe to say Edge will win, so that raises the question as to what Mysterio’s role will be at Mania. Will he end up in ECW taking on Chavo, or will he find himself in Money in the Bank? For some odd reason I feel he will be in ECW, which would be a huge boost for the show. Only time will tell.

So, that’s it for this week, folks.
