Wanted to start the Raw thread early, this could be one of those big nights.

Right now the Network is having issues, probably too many people at once.

We get Hogan tonight, possibly Flair, supposed to get Lesnar, do we get Taker, probably no Punk, maybe Sting.

Reports are the Usos could be tag champs.

Start the setup for Wyatt-Cena and Orton-Batista and what to do with Bryan. Along with Orton-Batista had to like when your fan favorite in Big title match for Mania, the crowd was chanting Bootista.

For Lesnar-Taker, have Lesnar come out and destroy someone all over the place and about the end, have the lights go out, but save Taker, not have him come out.

One more thought, do we get a possible big Hall of Fame announcement, like say a Randy Savage.

I say Paul Bearer

I have heard that too about Paul Bearer.

Paul Bearer is apparently the high priority inductee at the moment ... even to the point they might push Hall & Nash to next year?

They ought to push Hall and Nash off the top of the Sears Tower.

Hulk Hogan starts us out

Reports are out there, Batista will turn heel tonight.

Paul Bearer will be announced for the Hall of Fame.

Lawler talking like the fans think about the RUmble, them wanting Bryan to win and not even in it.

A CM Punk chant breaks out

I still say they should of had the "real AMericans" come out and tell Hogan they are glad he is back and now with him they will fix the WWE then have Hogan turn tell them they are not his type of Americans then clean house

THis should start the breakup of the Real Americans.

So we will get the start of the Cena-Wyatts when they come back

Quick thought, did we just lose Cena for awhile, like a blown knee or really selling it

That would be a 'no', good sir. John's just fine .... it's likely a way to storyline keep them from fighting until WM if anything.

I say this, I thought he sold it well, even having the physician talk to him and try to get him to stop.

Take this for what it's worth, reading some tweets from Wrestlezone, they are saying this is bad for Cena, like a dislocated knee or ligament damage.

Here's a story from Wrestlezone- goes with he's injured or like Don Tiny said, part of Storyline.

Things could change, but just possibly got the start for a Bryan-Triple H match at Mania.

I'm thinking he just sold it really well. If he legit tore it, Cole wouldn't have said anything about him being with the trainers.

A picture of Cena's knee

Hmmm ... you may get a gold star for the evening, eagle-eye.

I know we will have to wait and see if there's much to Cena's knee injury, but now WWE has a story about it, just says the Wyatts beat him up and needs an MRI, but Cena is refusing treatment.

If hurt and not wishing that, does this mean we get CM Punk back soon.

Ok... Maybe not a work. Yikes .

Bryan beats Kane, does this mean we close with Lesnar

Bryan just challenged Triple H to a match a Mania, they thought on the Law last night, could do this with a stip that if Bryan wins, gets into the Orton-Batista match.

More on Cena's knee

According to PWInsider.com, it appears as if the knee injury John Cena suffered on Raw tonight was not part of a story line, and appears legitimate at this point.

During Cena's segment with the Wyatt Family, Erick Rowan grabbed Cena's leg and held it in one position as the weight of Cena's body reportedly went the other way while the rest of the Wyatts attacked him.

A trainer could be seen tending to Cena during the segment, but Cena waved him off and continued the fight, but was having visible difficulty putting weight on his injured leg.

Michael Cole noted after the segment that there was swelling in Cena's knee and he is being evaluated by the WWE medical staff.

What was the point of that match, it's non title and ends in 10 seconds, must need filler and didn't want a diva's match.

Betting the Cena bit was supposed to go longer if the knee injury isn't a work.

I'm thinking they will close with Lesnar-Taker and reading some people have the same thoughts, but last time we seen Taker, the Shield was taking him out, Roman Reigns with a powerbomb, and Reigns in the last match.
