RAW 5/12/14 (hulu edition)

1. The Shield delivered a powerful promo. Roman is the one who has needed the most work on the mic, and he's getting better.
2. AMBUSH!!! The Shield ambushes Evolution as they enter the arena! I really like this feud. Hunter is wasted being only behind the scenes, and he's a better heel when he's competing.
3. WE...THE PEOPLE! Deportation list! YES! PLEASE get rid of Adam Rose!!!
4. Can't we even get the match started before Rose comes out to waste our time? What is being cut from the hulu edition so this can take place on my television? AAAAAAAAAAUGH!!!
5. And RVD takes advantage of the Rose distraction to kick, splash, and pin Swagger. Now I just have to hope Rose leaves ringside quick.
6. Daniel Bryan needs neck surgery. I wonder if they're going to strip him of the title. Probably depends on how long he'll be out. Hard to sell a PPV without the main title being contested.
7. Cena and the Usos v. the Wyatts. This sounds familiar, like we just saw this. Hmm...
8. I wonder if Luke Harper and Eric Rowan do any Civil War reenactment.
9. Very good match. Cena gets the pin on Rowan after the Usos clean house.
10. Evolution is come a-whining. But at least Batista is regrowing hair.
11. Hunter might have let something slip there. Reigns is the one not going to adapt? Does that mean Rollins and Ambrose are?
12. AMBUSH!!! Where did they come from? Under the ring?
13. Batista v. Reigns tonight? Good stuff!
14. "the cast of Total Divas..." Where's the remote? Time to fast-forward.
15. Nikki v. Natalya. *sigh* And how will Nikki get the victory this time?
16. Umm...not impressed. Look like Nikki dropped Natalya on her head.
17. Sheamus v... Curtis Axel after he...loses...the coin toss? Axel taps to the cloverleaf after a fairly quick match. Ryback attacks after the bell...
18. ...which leads to Sheamus v. Ryback in an impromptu match. Maybe it's time they get Ryback a chance at the IC belt. Considering he was in the main event scene 7 months ago and is nowhere now, a title match might have people believing he's still worth watching. Whether he is or not.
19. Well, maybe not. But that was a better match than the one with Axel.
20. What are they doing with Sheamus? I thought they were pulling for a heel turn, but taking out two heels in one night won't do it.
21. Steffi comes out to call out Daniel Bryan. What do you know? It's KANE!!! And he's dragging out the champ! HA!!! Good way to keep the storyline hot for his convalescence. (Here's hoping your surgery goes well, man. Come back healthy.)
22.If Bree really wants to get over, she needs to cold-cock Stephanie. She's just not convincing.
23. Hacksaw Jim Duggan? What's he doing here? (And who is he jobbing to?)
24. And the answer to that question is...Rusev. That makes sense, considering the likely resumption of Cold War hostilities.
25. Big E to the rescue? Wow. Rusev just dropped him. I remember when Big E was a badass. Like...last week. Literally.
26. Wyatt challenges Cena to a last man standing match at Payback. Hmm. How will Cena not lose cleanly this time?
27. MAIN EVENT: Batista v. Reigns. I know Batista is coming out as part of Evolution, but "I Walk Alone" is so much more badass than Motorhead's "Evolution" theme.
28. They didn't leave a lot of time for this match. Is it going to be that crappy of a match? Or is it going to disintegrate into a brawl that fast?
29. Melee it is. And here come the heels from the locker room.
30. Hunter brings in the chair, but Reigns with the SPEAR!!! Rollins and Ambrose clear the ring. You'd think Ryback'd know by now not to mess with the Shield. And the Shield stand tall.
31. Maybe Batista better shave that head again after all.

Not on hulu:
1. No Paige v. Alicia Fox. Yeah, cutting the Diva's champ for sake of the Total Divas storyline is always a good idea. Not.
2. No Ziggler v. Fandango. Would have been nice to see Fandango lose.
3. No Damien Sandow v. Cody Rhodes. Another good pairing that would have been nice to see.

Fairly god show, but I could have done without some of what they kept for the sake of the good matches they cut. Oh well.
