The next match may be the most important match in WWE since Wrestlemania 21, with the changing of the guard. D-Generation X versus The Miz and John Morrison. This match should show in what direction the WWE is planning on going. If DX wins, it's the same top talent always on top, which isn't good for the company. If Miz and Morrison win, than it shows that it's time for the younger talent to move up and change the company.
For one of the most highly anticipated matches of RAW and a build up for a few weeks, this should have been given a lot more time and the main event. Instead we get it at the top of the hour and have DX goof around in classic DX style for a long time. They messed around so much that the actual start of the match was during a commercial break. How is that a good idea?
The match was pretty good considering that they didn't have much time to work. The Miz and Morrison looked great as they were able to take advantage at the perfect spots and dominated most of the match.
The end was terrible and left me wondering about the WWE. First off, Morrison hits Sweet Chin Music on Triple H. The Miz tags in and doesn't go for the cover. Instead, he decides to mock Triple H before attempting the Pedigree. Triple H counters and leads to a double team of Sweet Chin Music and the Pedigree from DX for the win.
Now, The Miz and Morrison have proven to be a great tag team. Yes, they are cocky and arrogant, but they wouldn't waste an opportunity to pin DX. Also, why did Morrison successfully land Sweet Chin Music but the Pedigree was countered? Wouldn't the impact of both moves landing and Triple H kicking out be an amazing moment? Did Triple H really not want to belittle his own move and not want to kick out of it?
The fact that DX won this match made me very depressed. I was hoping that the WWE was finally going to move forward and allow the younger guys to get their shot. Instead, they had Miz and Morrison carry this feud for weeks and then carry the match before they get jobbed out. this was a terrible, terrible decision on the WWE's part.
Backstage we get JBL talking to Shane about becoming the new GM of RAW. Shane said he would rather have him as a performer and announced JBL versus The Undertaker. Again, this match should have been advertised. The Undertaker is one of the biggest names in wrestling and it doesn't make sense to not advertise him.
Up next is the 16 diva tag team match. It was interesting to see that they had enough women to hold this match but decided to pull Maria from the match to have Mae Young participate. What doesn't make sense is that the faces had Eve and Tiffany on their team. Maria is more credible as a wrestler compared to these two and has a storyline going with McCool. She should have been in the match.
However, this really wasn't a match. It was just an excuse to have Mae Young show up and go over on all the heels. I understand that she was great in her time, but it was embarrassing for everyone in this match to have her take out the entire heel side of the ring.
The match was way too fast and had way too many people in it. If they wanted to do something like this, they should have been allowed to work a long match and show off what these women can do. Instead, they wasted a perfect opportunity.
C.M. Punk versus Randy Orton is next. The match was decent but just like all the matches of the night, it was really short. This should have been at Survivor Series as people would have paid to watch this match. Creative wasted a perfectly good feud with this move.
