On Monday night’s Raw there was a terrific tag team match with Cody Rhodes and CM Punk vs. Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio. All four men in the match had history with their competitors. Punk feuded with Mysterio during his straight edge messiah storyline last year and even wrestled at WrestleMania 26. Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton were together in Legacy and feuded briefly, culminating in a triple threat at WrestleMania 25.

This past Monday’s RAW from the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia drew 15,654 fans with 12,500 of those being paid, making it the seventh consecutive sellout for RAW.

At Sunday’s WrestleMania 27 pay-per-view, we saw WWE Champion The Miz defy the odds and retain his title against John Cena. WWE officials ...
