Paul Heyman comes in the ring and hugs Punk. Roman sees it and is upset. Roman then sends Punk into the cage and spears him.

Thoughts: And there we go. This seems to set up a triple threat Mania giving all three something to do. This also follows up on the thing with Paul owing Punk a favor though it kind of turned Roman heel here for attacking Punk for no reason.

Overall thoughts: It was a decent Raw. The main was good but not great. Nothing else was too memorable here. There was way too much time spent showing celebs and a lot of the roster was missing here. I'd give it a 6 out of 10 but I didn't think it was the best show possible here.
