Reviews/Thoughts:
We're at the University of Texas for this one! And you know, that explains JR not being out there. Don't need him to get booed as the Sooners music plays.

HHH basically comes out and mentions the Kliq members, and now wants to kick Nash's ass. Laurinaitis comes out and says Nash isn't here. HHH is pissed. Laurinaitis now with orders to offer Nash a contract so HHH can beat the crap out of him. Nash is here and nails HHH with the sledgehammer! HHH collapses backstage and paramedics take him away. Nash with another shot in while HHH is all tied to the gurney.

Tag match time. Real good stuff here. I think the Brogue Kick was originally supposed to be the finish, but it wasn't hit real well (so Celtic Cross in for good measure).

Cena gets a match tonight against Miz and Truth. Cena gets a partner of Laurinaitis' choosing. I was more amused with Cena calling Otunga "Carlton."

Dolph faces Santino. Not much of a match here. Numbers game caught up to Santino. Mason Ryan comes out all jacked like usual to help Santino.

Zack Ryder is Cena's partner! Yeah! Wait, are the Bellas face again? They were all happy for him....

Ricardo announcing Alberto. I'm amused that Ricardo is not still a soprano after Vengeance. ADR gloating about his win, and that no one is better than him. Cue CM Punk. Man, Punk is gold on that mic. Poor Ricardo gets nuked once again.

Man, Beth is looking amazing again tonight. Natalya faces Alicia. Alicia got some new music, and I'm gonna have a damn seizure if I listen to it too long. Wasn't really into the match here, but it was nice to see Alicia get the win.

Barrett and Morrison in an OK match here. Finish was a bit botched, but still acceptable.

Cole embarrassing JR. Cole vs. JR next week in the "Michael Cole Challenge" next week, and if Cole loses, he quits. Must mean Cole's winning. Vince is high up on Cole, apparently.

Zack Ryder assaulted by Awesome Truth. So much for him being Cena's partner. So it's now a handicap match.

HA, that same guy from the Vengeance PPV (with the "We Hate Cena" shirt) is in the front row at RAW. Average stuff again, ending with the DQ. Water bottle to the skull. Cena gets Miz and Truth at Survivor Series, and Cena gets to pick his partner. Cena picks Rock! Woohoo! Otherwise, a fairly uneventful show.
