#1. The Main Event
Of course, John Cena vs CM Punk is the primary reason to watch tonight's Monday Night Raw. In the middle of all the chaos that is certain to take place, there's an important title match that will take center stage.
The two biggest full-time stars in the company will go head-to-head for bragging rights. Oh, and there's the WWE Championship thrown in there too.
The safe bet is always John Cena, but is he the best option? That's debatable, and I'm sure it will be by night's end.
I'm not waiting to dissect the actual finish or decided winner. I will, of course. It's my job. I'm simply going to enjoy the moment, and the match. Neither man's career rests on this one match and although I have my opinions on who should win and how, this is one night my routine will change while I watch Raw.
My routine for tonight: Sit back, relax, take it all in, mark out a few times or more, and then digest. I won't have long because "VOW Reaction" will be going live immediately following the show, but tonight's Raw will be judged on a different grading scale than normal.
It already gets an A- for entertainment value and the overall spectacular of it, and the show hasn't even started.
Tonight's Raw will be graded as soon as I realize how well Vince McMahon used it to set himself up for the future. Did he capitalize on this huge event and the hype he created leading up to it? How important will episode 1,001 become after tonight?
Those are the questions I want answered when I end up analyzing tonight's show for my various media outlets. However, it won't begin until AFTER the final bell sounds and the screen fades to black.
Until then, I'm just a fan with no agenda.
