The Muppets Come to Raw on Halloween Night
To celebrate their first theatrical release in more than a decade – Disney’s "The Muppets," opening this Thanksgiving – the Muppets will step into the ring on the Oct. 31 WWE Raw SuperShow to mix it up with the Superstars in Atlanta.
In the new film, "The Muppets," the crew is on a mission to save the Muppet Theater from demolition. But before that, they'll have to save themselves from our Superstars!
What will happen when Kermit the Frog meets The Viper? Will the Divas make Miss Piggy flip with jealousy? Will Beaker be confused for Sheamus? On Halloween, it's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights, because the Muppets are about to get Raw!

Paul Heyman Comments on the Triple H/CM Punk Match from NOC
Former ECW/WWE talent Paul Heyman gave his thoughts on the finish to the No DQ Triple H vs. CM Punk Night of Champions bout. He notes that those involved in the main event put on a "helluva show" and we should wait for the follow up tonight on RAW:
"I had to flip from watching Inglourious Basterds to see HHH vs CM Punk. Fill in your own punch line for that one, folks! I thought they (and all the others involved) put on one helluva show. It took 3 Pedigrees and a Jack Knife to beat Punk. I know a lot of people are pissed Punk got pinned, but if you're going to get beat, isn't that the way to do it?
As with everyone else, it's all in the follow-up (right, TNA?) ... let's see what they do tomorrow night on #Raw. Hey, I hashtagged #Raw! Ah, it's only been almost 5 years since I left. Maybe I've mellowed just a little. Nah"
