RAW Reaction: Lashley Bled???

My two predictions for tonight's RAW (you can find them down the page) KIND OF came true. Edge interfered in the Number 1 Contender match between HBK and Orton, and Mick Foley used the Make-A-Wish surprise to make a general-managerial-like decision. So I did ok? haha was I close?

Here's something that I could NEVER have predicted: LASHLEY BLED. The ECW champ finally bled and took quite a chair shot. I'm proud of him. Ben already discussed this point...I think it's about time the champion of "extreme" ECW bled.

As for the Backlash matches created tonight, my initial reaction is that both Cena and Lashley will retain their belts at the PPV. They are REALLY trying their best to push Lashley. And anyway, if Vince, Shane, or Umaga won the ECW belt then ECW would be completely screwed up. Cena will win because it's Cena, how could he lose?

Look for RVD to beat Marcus Cor Von tomorrow night on ECW. I think they'll keep feeding RVD victories until he re-signs his contract.
