And that's your RAW recap for the week. Cena and Lesnar is a lock for Night of Champions. I'm predicting Cena wins back the WWE World Heavyweight Championship but gets his ass handed to him while doing it and then Seth Rollins cashes in money in the bank and walks out of Night of Champions the new champion.
Till next time, tap or snap.
