Tonight is the night that William Regal and CM Punk face-off for the Intercontinental Championship.
Of course, with my luck, I have to work later, so I'll miss the first hour of Raw. I wish that someone could text me the play-by-play.

I would text you but my phone doesn't have it. I was thinking about this the other day, because I was thinking about when I go to Wrestlemania I could text you all updates. If I have texting on my phone by then I might.

Thats really nice of you, Ashton. Hopefully, you'll be able to have that by Wrestlemania.

I so hope Regal retains the belt tonight. I could see it going either way, but I hope he retains it. It would be smart to draw the feud out a bit and have Punk chasing Regal. Better to have the face chasing the title rather than the heel, but we'll see....

I have a feeling he will retain tonight and it will go at least to the next pay-per-view before Wrestlemania, if not Wrestlemania.

CM Punk is my second favorite wrestler but if he wins I fear I will have to hate him.

Regal retains with a DQ!
Punk tried to hit the GTS. Regal grabbed the ropes. Punk then pulled him to the center of the ring, so Regal grabbed the ref. No title change on a DQ this time, but Stephanie appeared by video after the match to say Punk would get a rematch, and this time, the belt could change hands on a DQ.
Nice bit with Regal using Layla as a shield at one point. ;D She did a nice job of selling afterward.
Hopefully they'll hold the rematch for Royal Rumble.

Layla looked so pretty tonight! I loved her dress.

Well, I missed it but it looks like I didn't miss too much since the match was only three minutes long! What the hell is that?
I do hope that the rematch is longer than this one.

Rematch next week.
Here is an interesting tidbit; if this feud goes all the way to Wrestlemania it will be the first time the IC title has been defended at Wrestlemania since Wrestlemania X8. That match was between Regal (the champ) and RVD. Regal lost.

I saw the match and though it was brief, it was good. It didn't do Punk and Regal any justice, however, because they are both good workers.
Layla was also very good tonight, playing the role of the pouting girlfriend.
