The annual Slammy Awards were given out on Monday Night Raw and Roman Reigns was named Superstar of the Year.

WWE Raw June 30, 2014, review

Raw was in Toronto on Monday, and I was there. Jerry Lawler doesn't call Toronto "Bizarro World" for no reason -- the crowd is always expected to be lively, bordering on self-indulgent, much like a "Raw after WrestleMania" crowd.

It's June. The "Wrestlemania hangover" is now far in the rear-view mirror. Some fans may have moved away from WWE for the time being. SummerSlam is in 2 months.

Two major developments unfolded on Monday's episode of WWE RAW.

A "go home" Raw (the last episode before a pay-per-view event) is always watched with extra attention, mostly because critics have the same question -- did this particular show do anything to increase my interest in buying the pay-per-view on Sunday?

Brock Lesnar and Triple H officially sealed the deal on Raw and will meet at Wrestlemania.

Breakdown of February 11, 2012 edition of WWE Monday Night Raw

First, an image of Madison Square Garden. Comments from Vince McMahon Sr. and Mike Tyson. The legendary Howard Finkel announcing: "From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania." And then, there he was, in his prime and in his glory, on WWE television in 2013. The "Living Legend," Bruno Sammartino.

During a phone interview with "Stone Cold" Steve Austin today promoting WWE '13 and Redneck Island on CMT, I asked "The Rattlesnake" for his thoughts on the controversial moment on Monday night's Raw involving Paul Heyman faking a heart attack (in case you missed it, detailed info can be found in my Raw recap here).

For the past week, many wrestling fans have been excited about the idea of the Survivor Series pay-per-view being headlined by a traditional 10-man Survivor Series

Arda Ocal and Adam Testa preview Sunday's WWE pay-per-view, the Night of Champions.

WWE Champion CM Punk has been unpredictable, which continued on Monday Night Raw.

Arda Ocal has video interviews with WWE superstars at Summerslam 2012 in Los Angeles.

If Paramount Pictures is searching for the perfect new summer blockbuster, they may want to take a look at "The Curious Case of Alberto Del Rio."

SummerSlam has long been one of WWE's top pay-per-views each year, but this year, the stakes are even higher as the event marks its milestone 25th installment.

Some people on social media were blasting this week's Raw to shreds, but I don't think it was anywhere near that bad. The triple threat match and tag matches were worthwhile viewing

The Rock-John Cena program leading up to this year's WrestleMania was the first attempt at a long-term build with limited appearances by one of the competitors, and it was apparently a success, as WWE seems to be adopting that strategy with Lesnar, as well as The Rock's Royal Rumble challenge.

Alberto Del Rio faced Randy Orton in the main event of Friday's Smackdown. Recent circumstances make this a baffling and disappointing booking decision.

The most controversial Tout has come from Tensai (Matt Bloom). The Tout has since been deleted from Tensai's account (but you can watch it here). WWE has issued an apology for the Tout, saying that Bloom will be "reprimanded for his inappropriate comments."

Superstars -- Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio, Kane and Daniel Bryan -- competed in a fatal four-way match on Friday's Smackdown to determine Sheamus' top challenger.

The 1,000th episode of WWE Monday Night Raw featured CM Punk, John Cena, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, the rest of DX, The Rock and many other current and former WWE superstars.

Tonight's Raw was a heck of a rebound from last week. The episode brilliantly mixed quality in-ring action with solid story advancement. I was worried WWE may have been too focused on next week's show to put a good amount of effort into tonight's show, but luckily, I was proven wrong.

Friday's Smackdown show was entertaining, but WWE didn't raise interest for Sunday's Money in the Bank pay-per-view.
