“It might have worked for Team Hell No, but it didn’t pay off for The McMahons.”

A group hug, no payoff, and Triple H backing down — #RAW 10th June 2013 was… a ride.

🟪 What If? Thursday

In the wake of Money in the Bank 2011, Cena turns heel.
Backs the machine. Turns on the crowd.

Would it have reinvented him forever — or cost him everything?

RAW’s final push to Payback 2013 had lumberjacks, authority overkill, and a “face-to-face” without any actual face-to-face.

We revisited it all.

"We're gonna see Swerve Strickland against Will Ospreay. In my opinion, the two best wrestlers in the world right now."
– Speedball Mike Bailey

Is he right?

Ospreay’s resume speaks for itself. Swerve’s in the form of his life.

Tonight’s Dynamite main event could be a statement.

#Raw on 10th June 2013 was a case study in contrasts: Bryan and Rollins delivered magic, while the main event angle ended in a McMahon family group hug.
Over a decade later, it still raises eyebrows.

Mr. Iguana says it’s a dream come true.

And WWE is treating it like one too — merch, vignettes, and a cameo on NXT.

“I’m a wave. I’m water. I flow.”
From AAA cult hero to possible WWE regular — this push has real shape. #WWE #AAA

“I’ll become a monster… to stop the monster.”
Punk vs. Cena has history—and now it has stakes.

🟨 WEDNESDAY ONE TO WATCH: Karl Fredericks 🟨

As Eddy Thorpe, he delivered one of NXT’s most underrated runs — blending raw athleticism with a character rooted in heritage. Now a free agent, Fredericks feels like a breakout waiting to happen.

The Alpha Wolf isn’t done yet.

Gunther vs. Jey Uso had purpose, physicality, and the kind of finish that elevates both men. A big step up from their WrestleMania outing.

Gunther choking out Jey Uso was brutal, deliberate, and exactly what RAW needed.

Ron Killings cutting his own hair on the announce table might’ve been the moment of the night.
RAW in Phoenix actually moved things forward.

Rollins won #MITB.
But the pacing collapsed under all the interference.
Penta + Americano were the real stars.

MITB 2025 had ladder mayhem, a returning legend, and a very strange main event.

Big on chaos, short on structure.

Our review covers it all:

Another Lynch–Valkyria showdown, another carbon copy.
The promo felt forced, the brawl was weak, and Valkyria’s not being helped.

If WWE wants her to break out, this ain’t it.

This week’s Raw gave us a tag match that almost delivered.

Just as it found momentum, a DQ finish stopped it dead.

Punk, Rollins, chaos—it’s all in the ATPW review:

It’s happening.

Omega. Okada. All In: Texas.

Winner Takes All – AEW International vs. Continental Titles.

Their first singles match since 2018.

One of the greatest rivalries ever resumes.

SmackDown, 7th June 2013:

Daniel Bryan was too hot to boo. Randy Orton didn’t care.

A cracking tag match with lasting fallout.

From the Vault is back with a look at SmackDown from 7th June 2013.

Daniel Bryan carried the show. The Shield ran through everyone. Curtis Axel was still unbeaten.

WWE’s forgotten workhorse show of the era? It just might’ve been.

MITB SPOTLIGHT: PENTA (RAW)

Recent record:
✅ Chad Gable
✅ Chad Gable & Dragon Lee
✅ JD McDonagh
❌ Dominik Mysterio (x2)

3–2. Not flashy, but steady.
Could be a dark horse in the ladder match.

Judgment Day won a nothing tag match.

Roxanne Perez made it matter.

Her role in this story might be the smartest bit of booking on #RAW right now.

Vince buying WWE back?

Bischoff: “Unlikely, but plausible.”

ATPW: “Not impossible. But absolutely grim.”

Tiffany Stratton shone.
Fraxiom flew.
Jimmy Uso fumbled.
JC Mateo faded.

SmackDown gave us great wrestling, bad booking, and one very awkward spear.
