After Survivor Series went off the air, Cena challenged Orton to the match now set for TLC. Kane went to attack Cena, but was held back HHH. They teased Kane turning on HHH, but Orton calmed him down. The Authority then went backstage. Cena insulted them, leading to HHH returning. Vince stopped HHH. Cena then verbally went after Vince. Vince made an effort to go to the ring, but Stephanie stopped him. After the Authority left, Cena sent well wishes to the crowd. I wonder how long they've had this angle planned, because it feels a little out-of-the-blue.
The Miz talked about the WWE schedule and more. I enjoy Miz's energy in public appearances. He's a very driven individual.
WWE has a new web series centered on the Gobbledy Gooker. Hey, if people watch it, they're doing their jobs. I think I might actually find a Gooker/Swagger Soaring Eagle match funny in a train-wreck fashion.
Everything else from yesterday is after the break.
Smackdown did 3.11 million viewers for its most recent edition. That's the second-highest mark in a full year!
Linda McMahon was in the crowd for Raw on Monday night. I'm a little surprised, since she kind of distanced herself from WWE when running for office.
For my take on yesterday's PWInsider.com questions:
1.WWE's got to put him in this year. I'd love to hear Taker, Kane and Foley talk about the impact he had on their careers. It's the Hall of Fame. Taker can break kayfabe for a night to induct someone that important to his legacy.
2. Hogan and Hart on the same page!? Good luck with that one. They make good points: Hogan can barely go and it would be embarrassing to see him try to keep up with someone on top of their games. I can see something like the year when Hogan came out to take out Muhammad Hassan going down, but Hogan putting someone young over almost definitely isn't happening.
3. That's pretty much it. WWE simply prefers the performers mentioned as non-wrestlers. It's better than preferring them unemployed!
4. Given the mark set by Taker's recent Mania matches, there's no way Hogan could deliver at that level of hype. I honestly don't know if Hogan is worth that much of a spot in 2014.
5. Ignoring the exaggerated revisionist history, I do think they could have done a better job with Punk's angle. They had something REALLY good there and it didn't pan out like it should have.
More wrestling tomorrow.
