Listening to what WWE has had to say about it, last week’s Monday Night Raw from Lafayette, Louisiana was a historic night that ushered in the “Walk Out” era as most of the Raw roster cast a no confidence vote in Triple H’s tenure as COO. It was admittedly a bit surreal seeing the assembled referees, announcers, and wrestlers leave the ringside area with only Triple H remaining when all was said and done. Unfortunately, it was a poorly executed segment that’s only “historic” because we’re being told it’s historic with less than a week having passed.

Tonight’s show in Oklahoma City is being touted as the next piece of history as Triple H tries to pick up the pieces and move forward with only John Cena, Randy Orton, Big Show, CM Punk and Sheamus officially scheduled to appear.

WWE’s third annual Hell in a Cell event was held last night in New Orleans. Again, neither of us watched the pay-per-view, but recaps of the show’s results are readily available. I actually followed live updates throughout the night and was happy to see that additional matches were added to the five that were announced before the show. A lot happened last night that is sure to be a part of tonight’s Monday Night Raw at the Cajundome in Layfayette, Louisiana.

We’ll be talking openly about where everything things stands heading into tonight’s edition of Monday Night Raw.

WWE presents one of the newer additions to their pay-per-view line up tonight with the third annual Hell in a Cell event live from New Orleans, Louisiana. There aren’t many matches announced for the card, so last week’s Monday Night Raw in Kansas City, Missouri spent a lot of time building up the triple threat main event that sees Alberto Del Rio and C.M. Punk challenge John Cena for the WWE Championship. Three competitors in the cage is a first for the Hell in a Cell match and the new twist is likely a consequence of having an event dedicated to a match that was once reserved for only the most heated of rivalries.

Last week’s Monday Night Raw from Cleveland, Ohio saw the return of a former staple of the show, the guest host. Hugh Jackman was on the scene to promote his new fightin robot movie, Real Steel, and seemed to really enjoy himself. He wasn’t given complete control of the show, but he definitely got involved. I’m without my tag team partner this week so I’ll slash through things quickly to get ready for tonight’s show.

WWE’s Night of Champions went down last night. Neither of us ordered the pay-per-view event this time around, but the results are readily available (I read this write up and it sounds like the wrestling at least was decent). The impact of last night’s events are sure to be felt on tonight’s Monday Night Raw from Cleveland, OH and it’s worth complementing our thoughts from last week (posted before last night’s show) with some quick thoughts on went down.

I suppose more sensitive readers might appreciate a “spoiler warning” in case they want to discover where things stand for themselves on Raw.
