RAW kicks off with a BANG!!

The Lesnar/Cena segment that kicked off Raw this evening was easily the best opening segment of RAW in ages.  Everyone loves an old school brawl and that is exactly what we got.  Added to all that, we got some blood, which always makes these types of segments even better.

The segment started with Johnny Ace letting everyone know that he brought in Lesnar to make the WWE more legit.  Lesnar comes to the ring and as he starts to thank John, Cena's music hits.  Cena walks straight to the ring and Slaps Lesnar across the face.

Then all hell breaks loose.  A pier 6 brawl ensues which leads to everyone coming out from the back to break up Cena and Lesnar.  If Johnny wanted things to look more legit, then this segment was successful.  The first punch that Brock threw connect square on the side of Cena's face.  He must have had flash backs and thought he was destroying Frank Mir at UFC 100.  I have to give credit where credit is due, Cena took a heck of a shot and finished the segment.  The shot may have stunned him, but he wasn't knocked out.

All in all a hell of an opening segment.  I am glad to see the WWE building on the momentum that they have going.  I am looking forward to things to come.
