Onemore reason to hate capt corny @johncena. Instead of putting elias over & pass the torch it was just the typical feeding another roster spot to cena’s ego…go away cena! #raw

8) Go-To-Sleep In Chicago!
Hideo Itami faced off against Brian Kendrick On RAW this week. Since RAW was in Chicago, there was a lot of anticipation for Itami to hit the ‘GTS’ (aka the same move that CM Punk used to use).
Hideo hit the move for the win. Not as loud of a pop that I thought though.

9) WWE Claims Dean Ambrose Will Be Out For 9 Months
WWE addressed the injury to Dean Ambrose this week on RAW. It was announced that Dean could miss up to 9 months with his injury.
WWE always exaggerates injuries to set up surprise returns, so I wouldn’t be too worried about it. The latest rumors suggested Dean would only be out for about 3 months. We will have to wait and see though.
I don’t believe them saying Ambrose will be out for 9 months. I hope he’s back for ‘Mania. #RAW

Up to 9 months to Ambrose, but I heard 3-4. Maybe a surprise return set up? #RAW
