WWE did a great job with “RAW 1000” last night. It was actually a pretty impressive show. Over the past few years, Triple H and Shawn Michaels, would occasionally return as D Generation X, with just the two of them, but this time we get a proper D-X reunion, by reuniting Billy Gunn, Road Dogg, and X-Pac along with them. Billy Gunn, Road Dogg and X-Pac are still looking good too and their looks still haven’t changed a bit. They played an entertaining segment against new wrestler, Damien Sandow, bringing back the 90’s era D-X style. The only noticeable missing member of D-X was Chyna, who was no where to be seen, which is understandable. Her and Vince McMahon have never got along in real life. They’ve been having a public feud that is well documented for the past several years now. So don’t expect Chyna back in the WWE anytime soon.

I liked the AJ and Daniel Bryan wedding. Weddings in WWE have been going on for RAW over the years, and that’s why a wedding was brought back. Usually weddings in WWE don’t end so great, but it was obvious this one wasn’t going to be good for Daniel Bryan. It turns out that AJ said, “I Do”, but it wasn’t for Daniel Bryan. It was for Vince McMahon. Vince came out to the ring and said it wasn’t that kind of proposal, more of a business proposal. Vince all of a sudden, announced that AJ is the new RAW General Mannager. Most current WWE Divas suck, I hate most of them, but AJ actually has some potential and she has personality who is not boring. AJ can be very likeable and she’s doing a good job in WWE so far. I think her being RAW GM would be interesting and looking forward to see what they’re going to do with her.

I liked the brief return of Mick Foley as Dude Love, which was pretty cool. I was hoping Mick Foley would return as all three faces of Foley. I was hoping he would come out as Cactus Jack and Mankind too, but he only did Dude Love last night. Dude Love came out to the ring during the Jack Swagger vs. Brodus Clay match.

The Triple H and Brock Lesnar/Paul Heyman segment was pretty cool, except, they didn’t need to bring Stephanie into this. I thought Stephanie making Paul Heyman look weak was pretty lame. Throughout that whole segment, they made it look like that Paul Heyman had too much power over Triple H, so Stephanie came out to the ring for Triple H’s defense. That’s when Brock Lesnar himself finally came out for Paul Heyman’s defense. I think it would be better if Lesnar came out to face Triple H instead of Paul Heyman, but what do you expect with WWE?

Next up we get the Heath Slater segment, in which he challenged any RAW legend to a “No Disqualification” match, and former WWE Diva, Lita came out to the ring. Lita is still looking pretty hot and still looks the same she did last time she was in WWE. She got a pretty big pop from the fans, of course. When Heath told them to ring the bell to get the match started, Lita announced she had some help to back her up, and the “APA” (or the Acolytes) music hits, and Bradshaw and Farooq came running to the ring to help Lita. Toward the end of the match, all the legends Heath fought on RAW came out to help: Psycho Sid, DDP, Roddy Piper, Rikishi, Vader, etc. It was good to see Bradshaw and Farooq back together again, just like the good old days.

What I was most excited and pumped for was the Brothers of Destruction reunion with Undertaker and Kane. Over the years on RAW, Undertaker and Kane have been performing on WWE TV but never together in the same ring. They kept the two apart for a long time until now. Undertaker and Kane finally reunited, but I’m sure this is a one off reunion, not a full time reunion. Of course, Undertaker and Kane got the stronger crowd response than any other superstar on RAW. It was a great segment.

For the main event on RAW, which was the WWE Championship match between CM Punk and John Cena, there was a bit of a shocker here too. Cena did not cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase, but instead Big Show interfered, just to stop Cena from winning the match. Cena won the match by Disqualification because of Big Show interfering. After the match, Big Show continued to beat Cena while CM Punk watches. The Rock music hits, the Rock comes to the ring to help Cena, but instead, we get CM Punk beating up the Rock. Punk ends the whole thing by giving the Rock his well known finisher, the GTS. The crowd boos CM Punk, as Punk ends up turning heel. Which is what I like better for Punk. I like CM Punk a heel wrestler and enjoy him being the badguy, so I’m glad he’s finally back to that. I was hoping we would get a Cena heel turn, but it ended up CM Punk turning heel. After internet reports been planning a huge wrestling angle, that was it, CM Punk turning heel. It’s going to be interesting to see where things go from here.

While there was a few minor things I didn’t care for last night, over all it was a great show. WWE did a good job. I was hoping for returns of Stone Cold, Ultimate Warrior, and Ric Flair but they never came out to the ring. Last night’s RAW was about RAW legends from the past performing with some of the new and young performers, which what last night was all about. WWE wanted to give the younger performers an opportunity to perform with the legends, which was fun to see. The Miz finally returned last night, but we didn’t get no Randy Orton. Randy Orton is on a suspension behind the scenes, but I expect a Randy Orton return soon. I was also hoping a Batista return but we didn’t get that either.

Congrats to WWE and Vince McMahon on 1000 episodes. They shouldn’t be thanking us for the support, we should be thanking them for giving us the entertainment!
