WWE Raw Results: Winners, Twitter Reaction and Highlights from January 28
The WWE knows how important it is to have a great follow-up edition of Raw after an amazing pay-per-view like the 2013 Royal Rumble, and the company started the road to WrestleMania 29 off with a bang.
New WWE Champion The Rock and Brock Lesnar and Chris Jericho; oh my!
Itโs clear that the next three months of programming will be some of the most entertaining all year, but the early start to these returns means the company is not just blowing out the PPVs each month, they are blowing out each edition of Raw leading up to these events.

Brock Is Back
The WWE Universe knows that it is now on the official road to WrestleMania 29, and the company proved it Monday night by bringing former MMA and WWE champion Brock Lesnar back to television for another run and letting him attack Vince McMahon.
Question on Everyoneโs Mind: Will Triple H Stand Up for his Dad?
There is no question that Lesnar will face repercussions for attacking and breaking the pelvis of Mr. McMahon (h/t WWE.com), and the person most likely to seek revenge will be McMahonโs son-in-law Triple H. With this being the easiest way to rekindle their feud leading into WrestleMania, the fans should expect to see Triple H back on TV soon enough defending the honor of his father-in-law.
Twitter Reaction
WWEโs official Twitter account broke the news that the chairman of the WWE Vince McMahon has suffered serious injuries at the hands of Lesnar:
Nationally syndicated radio show, Ring Rust Radio, talks about what Lesnarโs appearance means and the companyโs purpose behind bringing Brock back:
WWE Championship Scene
There is a strong contingent of fans that hate the fact that The Rock walked out of the Royal Rumble with the WWE Championship, but it is clear that the company made the right move giving the title to a man they know will do his best to sell the product.
Question on Everyoneโs Mind: Will CM Punk Get Redemption?
As much as the WWE Universe would love to see Punk take the title right back at Elimination Chamber, The Rock will likely not relinquish the belt until he finally drops it to John Cena at WrestleMania 29. That means Punk will not avenge this loss against The Rock until 2014 at the earliest. That is, if he ever gets another shot at the current WWE champ.
Twitter Reaction
Despite all of the drama and chaos that follows The Rock everywhere he goes as an international superstar, the new WWE Champion took time to tweet a photograph that shows just how much this return to the WWE means for the legend:
While there is so much going on in the WWE title sceneโeverything from Brock Lesnarโs attack, The Shieldโs alliance with Paul Heyman and the No. 1 contender CM Punkโlegendary announcer Jim Ross foreshadows what should be a wild stretch of WWE programming:
