Arda Ocal predicts the matches at WWE SummerSlam 2013, including John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan and CM Punk vs. Brock Lesnar.

The last RAW before SummerSlam gave the WWE audience exactly what we want heading into an upcoming pay per view -- something to look forward to in almost every match.

Daniel Bryan is a mega star, hitting home runs in every match lately, including three matches on RAW.

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?

The successful relationship between WWE and Susan G. Komen will continue, as a special Mother's Day campaign has been launched.

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

Zack Ryder has had the most up and down two years that a WWE superstar can have.

In a stellar half-hour main event match, John Cena defeated CM Punk and will (still) go to Wrestlemania and face The Rock in a rematch, this time with the WWE title on the line.

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.

The last segment of Monday Night RAW's 20th Anniversary show explained perfectly the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde that is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as he is today in WWE.

After the past few days, America needs something to be mad at and quick. Luckily the NRA and Instagram have stepped in to help our rage cravings.

WWE pretty much saved the best for last, in terms of pay-per-view offerings. Even with WWE champion CM Punk off the card because of injury, WWE TLC was a terrific pay-per-view event with several great things to write home about.

In the main event of WWE Raw, CM Punk accepted being part of one on Miz TV.

There are still many unanswered questions following Raw, 24 hours removed from the Survivor Series pay-per-view event. Once again, the 3 NXT alums dressed in black attacked Ryback and put him through a table, with no explanation of who, what or why. At this point, building intrigue through mystery is a great strategy, which is why I'm looking forward to the eventual "explanation" even more.

It was the perfect final tableau for all players involved in the WWE championship triple threat match at Survivor Series. CM Punk retained the title over Ryback and John Cena.

Both Raw (Monday) and Smackdown (Tuesday) were in Birmingham, England this week. The crowd was so good, that even on the second consecutive night of WWE action, the crowd reaction and party atmosphere rivalled many WWE crowds stateside.

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
