Miz's eyes telll me he knows his career is over.

IMO they need to move him into a Commentator/Interviewer role like they did with Striker

does anybody really think cm punk will beat brock lesnar and daniel bryan will beat john cena in the same night

Punk, Bryan, and Zach Ryder all won/retained championships on the same PPV so I wouldn't rule it completely out.

Good RAW. Shows been pretty good since MITB. Punk/Heyman promo was amazing. Everything else was solid.

That match between Bryan/Cesaro tho ... wow. They put on a clinic and got a crowd into the match without having to trade finishers a million times. Cesaro's uppercut combo into the huge clothesline had the crowd :mindblown: ... Bryan's deathlock ground and pound ... everything was just so well done. Clap for 'em.

That uppercut combo was sickening, imagine him busting that out to kill nikkas from now on, he hit that nikka with the super shoryuken combo from street fighter 3 3rd strike

Raw on 7/22 did a 2.95 rating and 4.00 million viewers, down slightly from the
prior week. The show, essentially the one-year anniversary of the three hour
format, finished third for the night on cable.

In the key demos, the show did a 2.3 in Male teens (up 21%), 2.3 in Males 18-49
(down 8%), 0.9 in Teen girls (down 18%) and 0.9 in Women 18-49 (down 18%).
The overall audience was 68.6% male.

In the segment-by-segment, the show opened at 2.99 with the segment with John
Cena, Brad Maddox and Daniel Bryan for the contract signing. Sheamus vs. Alberto
Del Rio lost 191,000 viewers. Christian vs. Titus O’Neil gained 85,000 viewers. The
Mark Henry interview with The Shield attack, plus Darren Young vs. Dolph Ziggler
at 9 p.m. gained a strong 373,000 viewers to a 3.19 quarter. The post-match with
Big E Langston attacking Ziggler and The Miz Total Divas segment lost 125,000
viewers. Brad Maddox’s segment with HHH and then Stephanie McMahon lost
251,000 viewers. Fandango vs. Cody Rhodes gained 4,000 viewers. The C.M.
Punk/Paul Heyman interview segment gained 201,000 viewers to a 3.07 quarter.
Rob Van Dam vs. Wade Barrett and Daniel Bryan vs. Jack Swagger lost 295,000
viewers. Daniel Bryan vs. Antonio Cesaro gained 150,000 viewers which is good
because that segment is often a loser. Daniel Bryan vs. Ryback with John Cena
coming out at the end and Vince McMahon ending the show with Brad Maddox
gained 331,000 viewers, which is on the weak side for an overrun, finishing at
3.20

Even if it didn't gain, it would be no loss or anything. The audience at home and in arenas have been conditioned to treat Cesaro and Swagger like bumbling doubler talkers that lose in 4 minutes all the time. They had no idea that he was capable of generating such emotion from a crowd and having the same type of special workrate that they proclaim of Cena/Punk/Blandy all the time, which is expected considering their endless pushes and being allowed to work 15-20 minutes weekly and coming out on top in the process. Social media probably legitimately helped spread the word on Bryan/Cesaro becoming must see at a certain point during the second half of the match.
