Title This: WWE Raw Reaction 4-23-12

April 24, 2012

Brodus Clay and Hornswoggle def. Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger:

What I Liked/Disliked:

Nothing to report on here besides wasted time and talent. Poor Ziggler and Swagger, two guys who deserve so much more right now. What the hell are they doing with these two? It frustrates the hell out of me that they care about a fat guy and a midget dancing over pure and entertaining wrestling.

Grade: F

Contract Signing between Brock Lesnar and John Cena:

Brock Lesnar and John Laurinaitis come out for the contract signing. Cena's music hits, but he does not come out. Brock says he wants some changes to his contract before he signs for his match at Extreme Rules. Lesnar asks for a personal jet, more money, and says he will show up when he wants. He asks for more changes to his contract and Laurinaitis agrees and they shake hands. Out comes John Cena, as he has his chain wrapped in his hand. Lesnar says he knows Cena is scared of him, and that he is doubting himself. Cena signs the paper and throws it at Lesnar. Brock knocks over the table and tosses a mic and they stare off.

Reaction:

Not the best ending we have seen over the past couple of months. Brock and Cena will sell because of Brock returning. I do not doubt there is alot of interest in it, but this did not extend the interest of the match. Brock stumbled with words during his promo and it just seemed off. Cena and Brock did not need to do much physically here because the PPV is already spoken for. Let the people pay to see them fight once again. There is no need to get phsyical, but there could have been more said. Cena remaining silent was okay, but nothing more was done here. I just feel confused at the end of the night. Not well done.
