I missed the first couple minutes of RAW, and I turned on the TV to see Edge!! Didn’t expect that, but pretty cool. He is really good at this whole wrestling thing.
Remember when Kofi Kingston was on a tag team and then disappeared for a while? To me, that was a really bad choice. His match tonight was a nice little comeback of main event-level stuff; he and Jericho had a GREAT match. I really enjoyed it.
I was wondering earlier today if Otunga would be around tonight. His girlfriend/wife (I can never remember) Jennifer Hudson had to be in Chicago today to deal with legal stuff concerning the homicides of some family members; that’s pretty awful 
It seems like he’s able to be with her and that’s nice.
Okay, seriously. I think I could read out the phonetic Japanese better than Tensai. This gimmick just bothers me so much. I like that they’re giving a little more explanation of, “oh he went to Japan for a long time,” but still. Also, is his breathing supposed to intimidate me? It just makes me think I could outrun him. hahaha
I wonder if Paul Bearer is back for a while or just for tonight!
As much as I’m not a huge fan of the angle they’re taking with Punk and Jericho, I’m glad this feud is still going. It seemed like before WrestleMania they started kind of rushing things with them, but this has had a little more time to fester now.
Wait, is there really a Divas Championship match out of nowhere?! Come on, guys, at least pretend you’re trying here. “A few weeks ago on SmackDown” does not a number one contender make. Oh my gosh. And then Beth Phoenix lost the title. Ughhh.
It’s true, nobody can recite the alphabet backwards unless they practice. I was actually entertained by fake drunk Punk. Mostly because you knew how it was going to end, and that Jericho would get his face kicked.
I think one reason I’m not a huge Lesnar fan (and I know this is stupid) is that he has the crazy eyes. I’m actually scared of him. The, “Monday Night Raw: Starring Brock Lesnar” line made me laugh though. I’m also glad he had boots on and not just tennis shoes, he looks more respectable (as if his size and crazy eyes aren’t enough).

Beth Phoenix losing the title was a horrible idea. Aren’t the Bellas suppose to be out the door next month when their contracts expire? Unless they signed new deals, it would be even dumber if they were to lose it as they leave.
The contract signing segment was stupid. Lesnar with his demands and this is suppose to make the fans believe that he is actually going to get Vince McMahon’s private jet to each show? Not a good idea.

Beth Phoenix may be legit injured. I read that she tore her left ankle up pretty good. But that’s not all. They were going to have Beth drop the title to Nikki Bella anyway so that Kong could be beat Nikki and not Beth. Nikki is supposed to drop the title to Kong before she leaves. I don’t get the reasoning for this, unless they’re trying to save Beth vs. Kong for something special. Maybe SummerSlam in August or even Survivor Series in November. And for the record, I refuse to call her Kharma. I hate that name!

Beth Phoenix’s ankle injury is a work. Just read it on 411mania. She just sold the injury really well. So, kudos to Beth. She had a lot of people fooled. Including those at the Detroit airport this morning, where she could “barely walk”.

Lesnar’s demands were dumb…there’s a reason Vince’s private jet has the modifier “Vince’s.” Also, Ace would have no authority for that. I agree to suspend my disbelief quite a bit for wrestling, but that one bugged me.
I was wondering if perhaps Beth is somehow injured (ankle or otherwise) and that’s why she dropped the title. I was also wondering if this would lead to Kharma’s return so she could just start crushing people – though I’m not sure why that couldn’t happen with Beth keeping the title. Maybe Natalya can grab it now? There aren’t many of them I really believe should have it at the moment, at least not over Beth and Natalya.
Speaking of which, where the hell has Layla been?? I wasn’t even sure if she was still with WWE, but I just looked and she’s on the website. I wouldn’t mind her being back.

Layla was injured for a while and was suppose to come back by now. Maybe they don’t have anything for her just yet.

Looks like we won’t see Roid Mysterio for a while. He just drew a 60 day Wellness suspension. What a dumbass.

So, for what it’s worth, Beth Phoenix tweeted this picture yesterday: https://twitter.com/#!/TheBethPhoenix/status/196433265551351809/photo/1 Very bruised ankle/foot

1. Well, now Mysterio has a few more months to rest up!
2. Beth Phoenix photo: Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.
