WWE Raw Supershow: 5 Things We Learned on February 6th

WWE Raw SuperShow took a trip to the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Monday night.

The first Raw of February followed a surprisingly good show last Monday.

We were treated to a six-pack challenge main event with Elimination Chamber ties, Chris Jericho finally spoke more than a couple of sentences, David Otunga got thrown around for a minute or so by Sheamus and Daniel Bryan fought the Big Show, again.

While the show may not have been as good as last week's show, it did have some interesting moments.

The first hour only featured two matches and was filled with segments progressing feuds. For those that prefer in-ring action over angles and segments, this was not the SuperShow for you.

Here are 5 things we learned in Oklahoma on Monday.

Honorable Mentions

Undertaker vs. Triple H WrestleMania encounter being promoted well

For a match that didn't seem to have any momentum when the rumor leaked many months ago, the WWE is trying their best to change that.

In two short weeks the promotion for the match has been quite good, albeit a little long (more on that later). I look for fans to continue to slowly warm to the idea until the big match.

John Cena starting the Daytona 500 isn't helping

It's starting to get really sad. Wait, no it's been really sad for a while.

WWE's tactic of trying to get John Cena over at every turn has been past the point of old. Nothing against NASCAR or John Cena but I couldn't care less if Cena honorarily starts every race for eternity, and I think many of you feel the same way.

5. The Great Khali Is Getting a Push—No for Real

I know. I'm in shock too.

Tonight, Khali teamed with Randy Orton and got the pin on the Intercontinental champion Cody Rhodes (his partner was Wade Barrett) via Khali Chop.

After the match the "Punjabi Playboy" bickered with Randy Orton over Khali tagging in to get the win and ended up getting RKO'd.

There have been rumors around the internet that The Great Khali's will only be around for a short time, perhaps only through WrestleMania.

This isn't shocking for a man of his age, his size and his limited ability.

Look for this to continue till he drops a match to someone at WrestleMania.

How we will function without The Great Khali is a mystery.

4. The Rock and John Cena and Their Weekly 5 Minute Videos Will Continue

These John Cena and The Rock videos started at the Royal Rumble, and they're still running about every televised show.

I know it's only been a week and a day since the Rumble, but these videos make it seem like so much longer.

I get it. The Rock can't be on every show and promote this upcoming match with Cena, but this isn't the way to keep the wrestlers on the minds of fans.

Not only are these videos exceptionally long and exceptionally boring, they also kill the flow of the show. It had that affect when they were shown at the Royal Rumble, as well.

Maybe it's just me and the people I debate wrestling with but we really feel these videos are very hard to sit through.

It's getting to the point that I just want this match to come and go so we don't have to watch these promo pieces anymore.

Unfortunately for me and those feeling the same way I'm feeling, these videos seem to be continuing for the foreseeable future. 

3. WWE Can't Plan a Broken Nose

Eve's nose is going to look a little different after Raw. 

It appeared that during the weekly three-minute women's match that Eve may have broken her nose. She didn't stop holding her face after taking a clothesline at the hands of Beth Phoenix, and you could see that blood was flowing from the former champ.

The referee put on a latex glove, poorly, and looked over the fallen Eve and threw up the dreaded "x" sign.

Unfortunately for the WWE, they ran an out of place Eve/Kane segment that was after this incident.

Shockingly, Eve didn't have a mark on her.

This segment must have been filmed earlier, and the crew decided to run it anyways.

Ah, you gotta love the risk of live television.

2. Chris Jericho Debut Angle Falling Flat

I kind of touched on this a little bit last week, but Jericho's angle of changing the world as we know it is falling flat.

The angle could have been the hottest thing of all time, but it seems to lack true focus. When Jericho returned, he jumped around without speaking for several weeks. This confused many. Optimists held out for hope more was in store.

When he finally did speak, he said the world as we knew it would change at the Royal Rumble, and that didn't happen.

On Raw, Jericho spoke at great length about how he changed everything—simply by returning.

He basically said that every wrestler has copied him in some form or another, and his return has made all others obsolete. 

If this was the payoff that was expected when promo after promo ran hyping Jericho's return I'd be shocked. This whole angle screams that an audible was called.

I've been a Jericho fan for a long time, and it pains me to say it, but this gimmick isn't working that well, and they could have done so much more with it.

1. Triple H Will Be Given Too Much TV Time

Triple H led off the WWE Raw SuperShow and was given about 15 minutes to start the program before the Undertaker promo hit.

Don't get me wrong, Triple H is a legend. He can still perform in the ring and is still good on the mic but devoting that amount of time as we head to WrestleMania isn't the right thing to do.

There are so many guys that are rising stars on the current WWE roster, and many with quite a bit of momentum. The future of the WWE needs to lead off the show, not the past.

I'm not saying that I hated the angle, but it didn't need to be as long as it was.

And I fear that the same amount of TV time that was devoted to Triple H during his summer run as GM/COO, will be given to him again this time around.
