I personally think they HAVE to get Cena involved in the WWE Championship scene, but if they don't, they really need to use this as a chance to get The Miz up the card.
The rest of RAW is a bunch of "almost there" performers. At some point MVP, Kofi Kingston, or Matt Hardy is likely to get a move up the card. I personally hope it is MVP.
I think MVP has strong in-ring work, and he is obviously great on the mic. He just has not been built up as a believable top-tier guy yet. Hopefully they work with that a little more, and we can see some fresh feuds out of it.
All-in-all, it was a busy week for WWE, but the top champs remain the same, and the top feuds remain the same. One of them is intriguing and riveting, the other, stale and boring.
TNA
This will be a short synopsis this week, because TNA is completely losing my attention.
One month after giving "control" of the Main Event Mafia to Sting, he is kicked out? This really made the Sacrifice match look like it was for NOTHING.
Samoa Joe and Matt Morgan standing side-by-side with the Mafia? Really?
Joe's entire motivation was money? Just ridiculous.
These guys broke his arm and tried to end his career. It was less than a year ago for crying out loud. Now he comes back and jumps on board with them?
They might try to double-swerve later, saying he was never really with them and pretended so that he could get inside and blow them up, but that is just getting too convoluted.
This is all Vince Russo storyline here. He completely lacks the ability to think six months down the road, and is always thinking of the best way he can shock the world today.
Well yes, Vince, Samoa's turn shocked us because it makes absolutely no sense.
I have no problem with Samoa Joe turning heel, but all heels do not have to be in the Main Event Mafia for it to work.
I am guessing we will see Sting get a shot at Kurt Angle's title at some point after Angle fends off Mick Foley in a rematch.
But I don't know and don't really care much at this point, and that means TNA is not doing their job very well.
As for the rest of the show, the Knockouts continue to be exceptional in the ring, and nice to look at out of it.
I love the Angelina Love title run, and think that it is really making the whole rest of the division look good as they desperately chase after her with hate-filled eyes.
Ring of Honor
It was nice to see Ring of Honor television acknowledge the new World Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries.
It was a solid show this week after some television tapings to freshen things up.
The Main Event of this week's show featured ROH tag champs The American Wolves retaining against Bryan Danielson and Tyler Black.
The ending made it seem as though the Danielson vs. Black feud will continue for a while, which is a good thing for all Ring of Honor fans.
Weekly Rankings
A decent shake up this week as Jericho reminded us of how great he is, a couple of WWE tag teams get back into the mix and Punk retains.
WWE—1. Jeff Hardy 2. CM Punk (WHC) 3. Randy Orton (WWE) 4. Chris Jericho 5. Edge 6. John Cena 7. Triple H 8. Rey Mysterio (IC Champ) 9. Tommy Dreamer (ECW) 10. Christian
