-Every Tuesday, I will take the major happenings from Monday's WWE Raw and either buy or sell them.

-Dissension within Team WWE: Heading into SummerSlam, I am buying this. Cena and Jericho, Edge and Khali, and Morrison and Truth are all having their respective problems. I mentioned in last night's audio show it was imperative for WWE to make Cena's team the underdogs going into SummerSlam, which is a tall order seeing that The Nexus is a bunch of new guys. However, they succeeded in that last night and Team WWE is vulnerable.

-The Nexus sweeps the Raw B-Team: I am buying this for the sweep aspect. With none of The Nexus seven being pinned in this elimination match, it made the entire group look very strong heading into a match with the same stipulation at SummerSlam. The treatment given to Wade Barrett, where he only comes into the ring as a special attraction, is also very well done.

-Sheamus and The Miz vs. Chris Jericho and John Cena: I am buying this main event as it was intriguing off the bat with the strange bedfellows as partners. Next, The Miz pinned John Cena, just like he said he was going to do. A solid television main event that advanced current and future programs.

-The Miz nearly cashes in on Sheamus again: I love the dynamic between these two right now as Miz is willing to cash in at any given time and Sheamus is finally in a position to stay one step ahead, given that he almost lost the strap to Miz in two straight weeks. I like that this is a potential program down the road and it is not taking away from any current programs either. In fact, it is just adding to current storylines.

-Randy Orton gets the best of everyone: I am buying Randy Orton. He won his match, gave the RKO to Sheamus, gave the RKO to The Miz, and then cut a promo backstage saying his objective was clear. He does not care whom he faces at SummerSlam and right now, he has a ton of momentum going into that WWE Championship match.

-Chris Jericho teases taking out John Cena at SummerSlam: I am buying this as more than just a passing comment during a promo. The idea of Jericho sticking around and having a long term feud with Cena is appealing. Jericho is also showing little signs of turning babyface, so why not a double turn? Babyface Jericho vs. Heel Cena would be a money program for the Fall.

-Ted DiBiase vs. John Morrison: I still have to sell this feud but I am pleased with DiBiase trying to find his way onto the SummerSlam team. This feud is doing very little for both men and perhaps the spot on the SummerSlam team being at stake will breathe some life into the program. Morrison's new look is a good one.

-Alicia Fox vs. Brie Bella: Alicia earned another victory, but this whole thing is a sell. Hopefully some new life will be breathed into this division, although one woman's title with a deeper division on both shows would be a better way to go.
