WWE Raw Recap: The 88 Things We Learned, Loved and Hated

Your friendly neighborhood Doctor is back with another long list from this week's Raw. This week we saw the fallout from TLC.

The show opened up with Punk bringing out new champions Zack Ryder and Daniel Bryan to have a little celebration in the ring.

Punk mentioned how he and Bryan have known each other for a decade and it is a thrill to both be champions together. Ryder was not left out though as he had one of the louder reactions of the night.

The night as a whole was average, but there were three good matches to point out. The main event between CM Punk, Daniel Bryan and Zack Ryder against the team of Del Rio, Miz and Ziggler was the match of the night.

Barrett was disqualified in another match between him and Orton, but he had the last laugh as he put Orton through a table.

The Usos and Primo and Epico faced off in a fast paced tag-team match which saw the Colon cousins get the win.

A while back, I started writing these little lists after shows and they caught on, so I decided to keep going. They're equal parts humor, recap, revelations, observations, questions and criticisms.

I write these as the show airs live so I apologize for any misuse of tense. Please sit back and enjoy the 88 things we learned, loved and hated from this week's edition of Raw.

6. Punk is not a fan of the fist bump.
7. CM Punk teases who won the Big Show/Henry match before introducing new World Champion Daniel Bryan.

9. Punk and Bryan met ten years ago right down the road at the Murphy Rec Center.

12. An ECW chant breaks out.
13. We get a trio of, "Woo Woo Woos" from all three men.
14. Punk says tonight is not about him, it is about Ryder and Bryan.
15. For someone who says, "I have nothing to say" Punk is going on for a long time.

17. Miz comes out with Ziggler and Del Rio and the three men break out into a fight.
18. Marty Funkhauser comes out to stop the action like usual.
19. Wow! Who could have predicted a six-man tag-team match would be made for later?
20. Kane's return is replayed and they hype Cena talking about it later.
21. Excellent! Barrett and Orton are facing off again. They had a great match at TLC.

23. Unless I am mistaken.
24. Another blurred out YouTube address is given: youtube.com/user/prophetless2012.

34. Sheamus and Jinder Mahal are facing off again.
35. Cole and Lawler have a funny back and forth.
36. Sheamus destroys Jinder pretty quickly in another pointless encounter.
37. So, you're telling me I can get a randomly generated wrestling nickname by texting 75555 for only $0.99? I would be stupid not to right?
38. Cena is out to address what happened with Kane.
39. It was refreshing to have a whole PPV without the Fruity Pebbles spokesman.
40. Cena makes a great reference to Isaac Yankem DDS.
41. Cena offers to forgive Kane for the attack last week.
42. Mark Henry comes out instead and looks worse for wear.
43. A Sexual Chocolate chant breaks out. Awesome.
44. "Like I am in the mood for jokes!"
45. Before Henry can attack Cena, Kane comes out and makes his way around the ring to Mark Henry.
46. He is once again wearing his welders mask, which makes sense considering how blinding those fireworks must be.
47. Kane lets Henry go and takes off the top mask before entering the ring, but Cena attacks first.
48. Kane threw Cena clear across the announcer's table into a chair.
49. Kane pretty much smothers Cena with his hand
50. Maybe I am reading too much into this but is this Kane's way of telling Cena to stop talking so much?
51. Kane rips off Cena's shirt and leaves with it like a trophy.
52. I am really liking where this is going with Kane and Cena.
53. Yes! Usos, Primo and Epico are going to face off. This should be good if given enough time.
54. Rosa is essentially nothing more than a stripper now.
55. If Primo wore his hair like Epico, they could pass as twins if you didn't look too closely.
56. Jey has the tattoo on his chest so we can tell them apart. That was considerate of him to do.
57. Air Boom are shown backstage sporting their new WWII inspired shirts
58. Rosa is yelling in Spanish so the Hispanic audience can be as equally annoyed with her as we are.
59. Rosa is coming dangerously close to being as annoying as Vickie.
60. Primo and Epico get the win in what I would say was an above-average match.
61. Hah, Santino called him Coby Rhodes, for some reason that made me laugh.
62. Cody looks like he has to hold back a smile from how ridiculous Santino acts.
63. Rhodes beats Santino in a very quick match. Still not as quick as the Divas match though.
64. The Bellas are actually arguing over looking the same.
65. Little Horny lives up to his name and plants one on Vickie under the mistletoe.
66. Lawler's cheesy line of the night, "Hornswoggle has low Elf-esteem."
67. They play a cool video package of Ryder's dad congratulating his son for the win.
68. Big Show talks about Bryan cashing in on him and kind of takes responsibility for pushing Bryan to cash in before Mania.
69. Josh Matthews just put his foot in his mouth.
70. Time for the main event as the three heels make their way out.
71. Rodriguez couldn't make it because of the huge spill he took last night.
72. I wonder if Howard Finkel would have done the same for Punk.
73. They play the same video from the blurred out graphic earlier.
74. Ryder enters through the crowd Edge and Christian style.
75. So does Daniel Bryan.
76. CM Punk has to be a follower instead of a leader and do the same thing.
77. In all seriousness, it is cool that they did the entrances through the crowd.
78. Every single person in this match has been a World Champion at some point except for Ryder. Remember when Ziggler was champion for two minutes?
79. Daniel Bryan does a double team move that makes me think it would be cool if they ever teamed up against the Heroes of Wrestling in WWE.
80. The faces take out the heels in a series of high flying moves.
81. Vickie is showing a lot of cleavage tonight. Gross.
82. Punk delivers a delayed Macho Man elbow to Miz which gets a big pop from the audience.
83. The match has been back and forth for the most part.
84. Bryan reverses Del Rio's attempt at a cross arm breaker into a Labell Lock.
85. Punk, Ryder and Bryan get the win.
86. Each man holds their title up high as they celebrate.
87. Punk climbs the table to end the show with his title held high above Michael Cole.
88. Knocked Up is on next. I would prefer not to watch anything with Katherine Heigl, she is creepily similar to Charlize Theron.
