After Sunday night's Night of Champions, I was at a lost for words I was upset mainly over the ending of the night. Though Triple H and John Cena had an impressive match, it would have been nice to see someone bring some gold back to RAW.It only took 24 hours for someone to answer my question.Every week I usually have a RAW Rewind, but unfortunately, everyone is still talking about the events of last night's broadcast. The show opened with Shane McMahon making it clear that they will not comment on the physical status of Vince McMahon followed by the arrival of Good Ol' Jim Ross to say goodbye to his hometown crowd in Oklahoma City.As JR prepares to rap up, he is interrupted by the arrival of SmackDown!'s World Champion, Edge. Edge's two morons, Curt Hawkins and Zac Ryder escort JR to the back, and we are forced to listen to the Rated R Superstar boast about his "victory" last night. He ends his rant by saying "Unless there's a draft, you will never see me on RAW again!"World Heavyweight ChampionshipCM Punk defeats Edge via Batista Layin' The SmackDown!As Edge walked up the ramp, his exit was interrupted by the entrance of Batista. The Rated R Retard sprinted towards the ring but got his $$ handed to him on a silver platter by the Animal.
After taking down one of SmackDown!'s Champs on the outside, he rolls him inside and drops Edge with The Batista Bomb. But the story doesn't end there.As Batista walks towards the back, CM Punk comes down with a referee and his briefcase. After months of speculation, tonight's the night that the Straight Edged Superstar would cash in his briefcase. After the bell rings, Punk nails the GTS on Edge and picks up the victory! That's right ladies and gentlemen! CM Punk has done what Batista and John Cena were unable to do: Bring a World Championship to RAW!Following the match, everyone was still in shock over what just transpired.
