Kane Answers:

Kane talks about how the people live a lie, and this is who he really is. Cena quickly comes out to confront Kane. A burst of pyro nearly hits Cena in the face. Kane tells Cena to stop, and he tells him why he assaulted him. Kane goes on to say that Cena led all the people astray, asking them to Rise Above Hate, but that is a lie. He says the world is a dark place. Kane goes on saying that humans hate by nature and that deep down everybody hates. He says hate motivates everyone and goes on to say that Cena feels the hate. He says Cena hates too, and will become free when he lets that out. The chants the usual Lets go Cena, Cena sucks at perfect time. Kane says he is going to help him on his path towards enlightenment, and says all he will hear is Cena Sucks. He continues to say it until the crowd chants it. Raw ends.

What I Liked:

This could be the tease to begin everything for Cena to turn heel. Kane sounded demonic and mischevious throughout and really got the point out that Cena is hated more than he is loved. Rise Above Hate was a good way to transition into Kane's point. I liked how he sounded intelligent and not stupid, even though he is viewed as just a monster. He always has been a different type of masked monster, one who has been able to get over with his words, or lack there of. This end was perfect, without any real fighting between the two. What will happen next? That is exactly the way to end a show, foreshadowing into the new year.

What I Disliked:

I am not a huge fan of Kane talking at first, but I understood it. He needs to keep quiet for the next few weeks, as that is enough talking for him to do. It is now time for him to continue his attacks and assaults on Cena, and potentially others. I do not know if we will see an actual match between the two, even though it is something we really haven't seen. Maybe this is to have Kane vs. Taker at Mania? Even though reports are Triple H vs. Undertaker with Shawn Michaels as Referee? I would love to hear your opinions below to discuss which match you want to see..
