Zack Ryder shows up backstage, and he’s met by an enthusiastic John Laurinaitis, who has set Zack up with his own dressing room and everything. Eve shows up and tells Laurinaitis to get lost because he’s going to get fired after tonight, then wheels Ryder into the locker room after Zack says “Woo woo woo, you know it!”

Kane with another chairshot and a final one right over the head. Kane stands over the motionless Cena and realizes he’s right outside Zack Ryder’s dressing room and smashes the door in.

January 30, 2011 at the Royal Rumble it was Natayla vs Lay-cool for the divas championship. Last mintue the match was changed to a fatal four way, but who would be the fourth diva? It was our girl Eve Torres. She came out and shocked the world. I’m sure there was more haters than lovers but that did not stop the results. It was a great match where all four diva’s put up a fight but in the end only one would win. Layla would accidentally get laid out by a McKick from McCool. Eve would throw both McCool and Natalya outside and go on to hit Layla with a Moonsault. When she went for the pin, McCool simultaneously pinned Natalya, but the ref didn’t see it and awarded the match to Eve. She became two time diva’s champion. Will we see anything from Eve tonight? I hate to think this but with her recent storyline with Zack, I don’t see her in a match tonight, but with WWE who knows. Let’s us beliEVEr’s just hope Eve get’s a match and wins the title for a third time, she would also be making history by becoming the first three times diva’s champion.

Pity the poor soul Zack Ryder, who suffered yet another ignominy during Raw SuperShow this past Monday when he was chokeslammed through the stage by Kane during a Falls Count Anywhere Match. In the past month alone, Long Island Iced-Z has been pummeled by Kane through a loading pallet and lost his United States Championship to Jack Swagger under questionable pretenses. Ryder was not medically cleared to compete, but an oversight by Executive VP of Talent Relations and Interim Raw GM John Laurinaitis allowed the match to proceed. This past Monday, still reeling from injuries sustained at the hands of The All-American American, Ryder faced his tormentor head-on and was driven through the stage for his troubles.

So where does the buck stop now? In a seemingly endless cycle of brutality leveled against the beloved, self-proclaimed Internet Champion, who’s to blame for the predicament?

If your answer is “John Cena,” you’re not alone. Eve, Ryder’s friend, laid the fault for Ryder’s suffering at the feet of the Cenation leader, berating Ryder’s broski before getting into the ambulance with the motionless former U.S. Champion. (WATCH)

The truth is, Eve has a point. Kane has made his intentions clear: to make Cena “embrace the hate” at all costs. But rather than confront Cena himself, The Big Red Monster has instead targeted Ryder, and relentlessly so. The unspoken implication seems to be that the beatings will continue until Cena bends to The Devil’s Favorite Demon’s will. Thus far, Cena has taken the high road and resisted, and the tactic has, all things considered, left Ryder more or less to fight his own battles against Kane and Swagger. One could argue that Cena is holding out on aid for a friend who is injured and outmatched, all in the name of his personal credo. It was Ryder, not Cena, who had to walk down to the ring and …

Wait a second.

Why not blame Ryder?

Ryder’s a grown man. There’s nobody stopping him from protecting his body and his health and refusing to compete against Jack Swagger. Nobody was making Ryder put his hard-won United States Championship on the line against an opponent with the built-in advantage of unbroken ribs. Futhermore, nobody forced Ryder’s hand in his match against Kane either.

Although, there was that stipulation that Mr. Laurinaitis added to the Ryder-Kane match: the one where, if Cena interfered, Ryder would never get a United States Title opportunity again. Perhaps this is all on Laurinaitis, who also seemed to willingly overlook the doctor’s report that would have stopped the title match and, presumably, kept the United States Championship around Ryder’s waist.

It’s not unfair to say there are plenty of players who are just as, if not more, at fault than Ryder in what has transpired thus far. And yet, Eve has blamed Cena, the one man who unquestionably has tried to protect Ryder this entire time. The question this whole time seems to have been whether or not Cena will “Rise Above Hate,” but perhaps it’s fair to ask if Eve should have done the same?

Then again, Cena did look like he was about to lose his cool in the backstage area as Ryder was carted out. Maybe Eve has the right idea after all, and the time for the high road is finally over.
