WWEFan1980 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Tonight's edition of WWE Raw will be broadcast live from The US Airways Arena in Phoenix, Az  The opening match for WWE Raw tonight will feature The Miz taking on John Morrison for the WWE Title.  WWE is billing Miz vs. Morrison, which will be a Falls Count Anywhere match, as the "first match of 2011."  Why is The Miz & Morrison on 1st? From Miz's offical twitter...  What better way to start 2011 then with a media day at 6am. 1st Raw of the year tonight, Miz vs Morrison falls count anywhere. Doing it big.

Big Rob Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 If it's indeed on first, it probably means that there's going to be a big shmozz to set up the main event later on in the show. I'm inexplicably quite excited for this show, I might wake up early to watch it before work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xear Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I was thinking that it was on first to set up an angle for the Rumble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Invisible Boy Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I've been looking forward to Raw all week, the Miz vs. Morrison match looks like it'll be good although now finding out it's on first has made me a little doubtful as it may just be used to be a big set up for the main event or the Rumble. I can't wait to see what happens regarding Punk and Nexus though, that's going to be interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra1000 Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 They need to start hyping up the Rumble too, I need some Rumble qualifiers! Â Can't decide if this match on Raw is a good thing for Morrison, it could be his title shot is being shoved out of the way on Raw or they are building to something with it. I think it will be a screwy finish but he won't get a rematch for some reason or another, then he wins the rumble to get a shot at the Miz.

WWEFan1980 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 WWE should hype it up like the old days I:E 1993/1994/1995 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew "the ref" coyne Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Maybe they are going to repeat the Jericho vs. Triple H angle from several years ago (2000?). I.e. Morrison wins the belt via a dodgy ref call (maybe Lawler makes the count) and Miz spends the rest of the episode claiming hes lost the title due to a unofficial ref getting involved and eventually gets the match decision reveresed.

WWEFan1980 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Share Posted January 3, 2011 From rajah.com Tonite's RAW will also feature follow-up on CM Punk appearing to join Nexus at the end of last week's show. With the Royal Rumble taking place later this month, expect to see Royal Rumble qualifying matches as early as tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Royal Rumble taking place later this month, expect to see Royal Rumble qualifying matches as early as tonight. That's typical lazy "newz". Of course there's going to be some follow up to the Nexus angle. And then they go on to say that there could well be some Rumble qualifying matches tonight because the Rumble is soon, but they don't say there definitely will be, so if there aren't, they haven't said anything wrong. Such a nothing piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bAzTNM Fan Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 The mark in me loves Rumble qualifying matches. I don't know why, but I much prefer that rather than just putting 30 random entrants in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Rob Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 I like qualifying matches too, but I don't like it when they announce everyone in advance. 2001 was awesome for surprised, like Honky Tonk Man, Haku and Drew Carey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Miz Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 So Miz V Morrison will last several minutes, Riley will get Miz DQ'ed, Orton will hit the ring. MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE etc..... Miz and Riley V Morrison and Orton later on in the show. Morrison and Orton will squable, Rumble will be Miz v Morrison v Orton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Miz Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 You make a good point, forgot about that. In that case I call shinanigans leading to the GM emailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
