This Halloween edition of RAW starts with Rocky on the tron. He addresses Cena about tagging at SS. Can it be done? Should it? Could it? They’re the most polarized men on this planet. They both represent an era and generation. Last week he saw it and felt it. Hell no! Cena’s been knocking on Rocky’s door for years and shocked when Rock opened it. Rocky doesn’t want to slap Cena’s hand? No Rocky wants to slap Cena’s lips off. He wants Rocky to join the Fruit Loop Troop?
Then the Rock thought about. Millions and millions of Tweet telling him to join Cena for one night. The hook that brought him is that Team Bring It despises Miz and R-Truth. This is about the people and they people want to see Miz and R-Truth get their jabroni asses beat. For one night they will tag, facing Miz and R-Truth at SS. Miz and R-Truth are bad asses? They do it from behind. Why not try that on the Rock?
Cena has his wish, Rock is his partner. Cena’s happy, little kids running around their house all excited. Don’t get too happy yet. There’s another reason why outside Miz and R-Truth. The Rock wants Cena to witness, stand on that apron, one foot away from the great one putting boots to asses all damn long day! Cena, what Rock does to Miz and R-Truth is a tiny taste of what Rock will do at WM. Cena, witness the Rock and learn how a real man gets it done. Watch the jabroni beating, pie eating, trail blazing, eyebrow raising, ready to strike on the attack, Cena call your fat ass momma because the Rock is back! The Rock, John Cena, SS, never before, never again.
If you smelllllllllllllllllll what the Rock is cookin’!
Later Cena will face Miz one on one.

Sources in the medical community have told Cole that JR has symptoms such as ulcers, mega toxic colon, diverticulitis, even gastrointestinal hemorrhaging. A real man like Cole would have pushed those symptoms away and showed up anyway, but JR isn’t a real man. In fact maybe JR should have worn these (a Depends) to face Cole. Cole laughs maniacally at his jokes. (I will have a shot at Cole in my RAW Is Blogged tomorrow. Please be aware that I don’t take nicely to anyone making light of any digestive disorder, no matter how funny it might seem to those without any such thing.)
