Notes:
Shaq was a wonderful guest host of Raw and I think the example that future guest hosts should look to. He was funny and contributed to the show. One of his contributions is a nickname that he gave to Chris Jericho…or should I say Christina. The crowd ate it up and began chanting Christina repeatedly. I believe that the WWE crowds will be chanting Christina for weeks to come when Jericho is in the ring.

A big surprise of the night is the return of Chris Masters. For those who don’t remember, Chris Masters was let go by the WWE due to failing drug test three times. Hopefully, his new run in the WWE will be better than the last. It was bad news for MVP, because Masters cost him a title shot. I see a possible rivalry here since MVP was unable to break out of the Master Lock.

Chavo Guerrero was defeated once more by Hornswoggle in a Blind Fold Match. I echo the attitude of one of my tweeps…yes I said tweeps… @ANDaniloTheRef tweeted: “DEAR WWE, PLEASE FIRE CHAVO ALREADY! YOU GUYS HAVE ALREADY DONE ENOUGH TO PERMANENTLY BURY/RUIN HIS CAREER! CHAVO DESERVES BETTER!” I feel the same way in that if WWE can’t figure out what to do with him, they shouldn’t embarrass him in this way. Instead, they should release him. Leave a comment and tell me what you think about Chavo.

The Miz/Cena match was interesting. It was obvious that Cena was going to win. I was most impressed by The Miz’s  promo before hand. He is definitely growing into the heel role. Cena beat The Miz and then came face to face with Orton who was staring him down. It seems that the SummerSlam main event is set and it will be Orton vs. Cena for the WWE Championship.

By the end of Raw, Shaq and The Big Show got into a choke fest where they were trying to choke slam each other. The crowd was going crazy, but it was a lot of fun. It seemed that Shaq really wanted to be apart of the show and enjoyed every second of it. I loved watching this episode of Raw.
