So it looks like Raw has been on a hot streak the past two weeks. Just last week, we saw the return of not one, but 3 Superstars and a surprise title change!

Last week, we saw the return of the Miz, fresh from filming "The Marine 4" (by the way, the Miz is the only WWE Superstar to reprise his role in a WWE Studios movie) with a new Hollywood persona. While the Miz was delivering his promo, we saw the unexpected return of Chris Jericho! The Ayatollah of Rock 'n' Rolla made his return by shutting the Miz up with a Codebreaker! Admit it, everyone marked out when he came back - I know I did and I didn't even watch it! However, the "Savior" didn't get to enjoy his return because the Wyatt family decided to mark their next opponent by delivering a beatdown. 

Where will this feud go? No one knows except Jericho and Wyatt. We shall see how this plays out.

Now, on to the return most of y'all were eagerly awaiting- the newly married and apparently not pregnant Miss AJ Lee! Or AJ Brooks - whichever one y'all prefer. She came back to take back her Divas' Championship from the young Paige, who many online saw as a "placeholder" champion. AJ came back in the middle of Paige's promo and basically did the same thing that Paige did to her back in April (no, that was not intended). Mrs. Brooks rolled up the Divas' Champion to win the belt back and that's when the double turn of the century happened - AJ was now a face for the first time since before her "I'm gonna kiss as many guys as I can" phase, and Paige? Well, we should see the former Divas' Champion making a slow heel turn, culminating (hopefully) in a match at SummerSlam!

It seems as if Nikki Bella and her boyfriend, the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, John Cena, are being made into the new Brie Bella and Daniel Bryan. Hang on, bear with me, alright? Ever since Nikki brought her twin sister with her to Money in the Bank 2 weeks ago, Stephanie McMahon has been putting Nikki in some tough spots by putting her in handicap matches that she loses. John seems to be in the same position that Daniel Bryan was in only months ago - the Authority doesn't like the fact that he is champion. Why they would think John Cena isn't "best for business" is beyond me. (Ok, here comes my Cena fangirling, so even if you don't like Cena, you probably can see the resemblances here). 

Ok, Cena is literally the top guy in WWE right now. The only reason a lot of the kids even go to the live tapings and house shows is because of Cena. He sells the most merchandise. Yes, he even sells more merch than CM Punk. So why is the Authority so hell-bent on taking the belts off of him?

Because of one guy - or rather, 4 guys. Ok let's start with the Authority's "lapdogs" or "bitches", depending on who you ask.

So Kane and Randy Orton, who really needs to get away from the Authority to save his career, are in the title hunt simply to please the Authority. Kane was only placed in the Money in the Bank match to make sure Orton won, which he didn't. Kane also interfered in the traditional Ladder Match because "The Lunatic Fringe" Dean Ambrose was about to win the whole thing, which he should have. 

The next man is the new Mr. Money in the Bank, Seth Rollins, who, since turning on his brothers last month, has been on a meteoric rise to the top. Triple H has always believed in Seth Rollins from the day he won the first ever NXT Championship. It looks like Triple H and the Authority have continued to #believeinrollins by adding him to the traditional Money in the Bank Ladder Match and making sure that he won. Rollins has tried to cash in his contract since then, but Dean Ambrose isn't having it. However, Rollins still has his contract because the bell never rung when Ambrose came to fuck shit up. 

You can bet that we'll be watching closely as Rollins and Ambrose reignite their old feud from FCW and NXT.

Now, the last man is someone the Authority really doesn't like. Roman Reigns, the Samoan Thor, the Cena 2.0 (not my opinion - just what I've read in the comments section on other sites), whatever you wanna call him.
