- Tonight's WWE RAW opens up with a look at The Road to WrestleMania 29 with footage from the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.

- Michael Cole welcomes us to the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana. We go right to the ring and out comes John Cena.

Cena
says we are in the heart of Cajun country and the Road to WrestleMania
is heating up. Cena says WrestleMania 29 is taking shape and talks about
Jack Swagger vs. Alberto Del Rio for the World Heavyweight Title and
himself vs. The Rock for the WWE Title. CM Punk's music hits and out he
comes with Paul Heyman.

Punk meets Cena in the middle of the ring.
Punk asks Cena if he's sure he's facing The Rock at WrestleMania. Punk
says that's the easy way out. Punk says The Rock beat him fair and
square last night but says he had him pinned for an 18 count before
that. Punk says Rock also struck a WWE official and should have been
disqualified, losing the title. Punk says Cena has never beat him. Cena
says he earned the right to go to WrestleMania and says Punk couldn't
get the job done. Cena says for once, it's not about Punk. Punk brags
about his lengthy title reign. Punk says Cena got lucky in the Royal
Rumble and hasn't earned anything. Punk says Rock will beat Cena again
this year because Cena can't get it done, he can't win the big one. Cena
asks Punk what he wants. Punk tells Cena to just walk away, leave WWE,
get out of his life - just walk away. Cena goes to leave the ring but
says no. Cena says Punk has a set of balls and he admires his honesty.
Cena says you should know he won't just give away a golden ticket to
WrestleMania.

Cena acknowledges that he hasn't beat Punk or Rock.
Cena says we have a problem - Cena has critics and Punk wants to go to
WrestleMania. Cena wants to hush those critics and has a solution. Cena
proposes a match. If he wins, Punk crawls back in his hole and goes
away. If Punk wins, Cena will give him his WrestleMania title shot. Cena
says Punk talks business but he handles business. Cena wants the match
right now. Punk talks it over with Heyman. Punk says Cena just made the
stupidest decision of his life. Punk says he will take Cena up on the
offer but he won't do it here. The crowd boos. Punk wants to do it on
his terms since he got screwed last night. Punk says we will do the
match next week and walks out of the ring with Heyman. Cena says their
match is official for next week. Cena says he will beat Punk, go to
WrestleMania and then we will know the champ is here.

- Still to come tonight, The Rock's celebration. We go to commercial.

-
We see stills from Elimination Chamber where The Shield beat Ryback,
Cena and Sheamus. Matt Striker is backstage with Sheamus. Sheamus talks
about the match and letting everyone down. Ryback is pacing around.
Sheamus stops him and says they have to adapt and overcome. Sheamus asks
Ryback if he's a machine or some mindless neanderthal. Ryback grabs
Sheamus by his collar and Chris Jericho breaks it up. Jericho says they
should be upset with The Shield, not each other. Jericho says Shield has
everyone on edge. Jericho says he's seen it done with the nWo and
Nexus. Jericho says we have to do what it takes to save WWE. Jericho
says he loves WWE and will never wrestle for anyone else again. Jericho
says they have to stop The Shield. Jericho says he's going to talk
Vickie Guerrero into making The Shield vs. Jericho, Ryback and Sheamus.

Sin Cara vs. Mark Henry

Sin Cara is in the ring waiting as Mark Henry makes his way out.

Cara
ducks a shot and goes to work with kicks. Henry knocks him down and
tosses him into the corner. Henry beats Cara up and stands on his back
as the referee counts. Henry with a big splash in the corner. Cara with a
kick to the face. Cara goes for another kick but Henry grabs him for a
big running powerslam. Henry nails a World's Strongest Slam for the
quick win.

- After the
match, Henry roughs up Cara and goes for another slam but out comes The
Great Khali. Henry drops Cara and readies for Khali. Henry slides out to
the floor before they can do anything. Henry mocks Khali's dancing from
ringside. Henry runs his mouth at Khali and walks off.

- Up next,

WWE can't be this stupid to book Cena vs. Rock for "twice in a lifetime". Would they really stiff the fans like that? I guess anything is possible. Its gotta be a triple threat!

O.k.... cena vs punk next week..... winner goes to mania.

There are two things that can happen next week.... A count out/DQ/ tie which will add punk to the match OR cena wins.

Hopefully WWE doesn't mess this up.

I'll probably change my opinion about the belt itself down the road, but right now, I'm happy with any design that isn't that stupid spinner crap. About damn time.

But I agree that Punk should have been the one to change it, not Rock.

This one is O.K.... just not what I expected.... but yes..... it is better than that spinning crap.

You guys need to remember that the trim and plates for this belt were released last year, in the middle of CM Punks title reign. Although they didnt have the bulls on the side of it like what we saw tonight. To say that it was The Rock who did it is just looking for a reason to whine. This belt was being fabricated well before Rocky got it. I dont hate it, but it needs to grow on me. All I can say is good riddance to the spinner belt.

A mediocre belt for what has turned into a mediocre company. They could have just as easily done it for the mediocre Punk, but the lowest rated and least watched champion in 15 years didn't deserve it.

While I'm not a big Jericho fan I can see why those who are big fans of his would want him in a storyline. But no disrespect to his fans I personally have no problem with the way they're doing Jericho and wish they would do the same to all the part-timers except Taker. Look putting guys like the Rock in the main-event at Wm two years in a row is wrong and from the way it's looking now the Rock will be head-lining WM30. WWE has plenty of young talent ready to shine for years to come and they deserve to do so now not later. With that being said that new WWE belt is ugly but I'm glad they got rid of that spinner belt as well .

I agree that the new WWE belt could use some more gold, but it's way better than that spinner belt and any new design is better than that. I also agree about Naomi. She's exciting to watch, but without a division it's hopeless. Im loving Jack Swagger's new character and his whole "We the people" catchphrase too (along with his mouthpiece Zeb).

I really think the new belt looks awesome to be honest guys I have no complaints other then I hope those Brahma Bulls come off when the next champ is crowned. This belt will look good around someones waist. It is the most prestigious title in the company it really shouldn't have to have any gold on it at all....However a little bit would have been nice haha.

To hell with the spinner belt it should be burnt and pissed on.
