Raw 02/10/14: Orton vs. Cena (This isn't a rerun, I swear)

[SmashMan]

Orton will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the Elimination Chamber. But first, he must face each Chamber opponent in singles matches to prove that he...can be the face of the company...? Someone help me out. Tonight he renews his age-old rivalry with John Cena. Looking ahead to the Chamber itself, get your bets in because Christian seems like the odds-on favorite. (To be attacked before the match and replaced.)

Please note a change in your programs: Daniel Bryan, in addition to his own issues, will now also be playing the CM Punk role in the Kane feud.

...where did Brodus Clay go?

Here's hoping Aksana unveils her new shirt tonight:


The ‘official’ #1 Contender – Batista – still hasn’t done too much in the wake of his Rumble victory, but let's not forget that he is one fantastic dresser.

Emma debuted, but it was pretty boring because dance-offs are lame debut segments. She did bring bubbles to Main Event though, so there's that. Watch her do better things (like wrestle around with Paige) on February 27, at NXT Arrival - live on the WWE Network!

Rusev hits. Rusev crush. Hello Lana.

Did you enjoy that match from Smackdown? You know, that one match? Get ready for the explosive rematch - because it's NEXT!

And for anyone just tuning in, here’s what you've missed over the last month in the life of Daniel Bryan:

Triple H has been unburying Bryan? :-)

Well then, let's try and guess who she's going to make fun of while Michael Cole stifles his laughter.

Edit: By my count, using profightdb.com, tonight will be the 20th broadcast (TV & PPV) Cena vs. Orton singles match.

That and CM PUNK chants all night long would be glorious.

I was gonna go but the ticket prices were insane. Too bad.

And I wouldn't expect much from the crowd. Usually LA crowds are not terribly snarky. Though with everyone else trying way too hard to be snarky lately, maybe they too will try.
