After much speculation, rumored cards, and plot twists last nights Raw finally answered the biggest questions on everybodys minds: What are the Wrestlemania main events going to be.

With John Cena without a match Shawn Michaels, Edge, and Randy Orton all stepped up to challenge the Champ at the PPV on April 1st.

Monday Night Raw Preview – February 5th
Tonights Raw should go a long way in answering the differing reports on what matches will be going down at Wrestlemania in a few weeks. undertaker will open up tonights episode supposedly to announce his opponent for his match. Now he may very well announce his opponent tonight but the suspense may also be continued.

SmackDown Recap
Last nights SmackDown was the first since the Royal Rumble last Sunday meaning that there was lots of unresolved business including what matches would be set up for No Way Out. Well SmackDown answered some questions and set up matches that will probably answer others.
This weeks SmackDown was live as opposed to the typical Tuesday tapings. This meant no leaks of twists or anything of that nature. As far as matches went Chris Benoit, the U.S. Champion, retained his title against Finlay. Deuce and Domino defeated Paul London and Brian Kendrick, the current Tag Champs, in a non-title match. The …read more
Cena and Michaels Become Tag Team Champs
Raw last night was off the wall. They did a great job setting up some new storylines (finally) and I can’t look forward to the next few weeks as more and more becomes known about wrestlemania.
First of all lets get to the non-wrestling action of the show. As I said before hand last night was Mr. McMahon fan appreciation night and to commemorate to occasion he autographed his picture from the cover of Muscle and Fitness magazine. Donald Trump then appeared on the screen of the arena to declare that Vince wasn’t giving fans what they wanted, value in the form …read more
Raw Preview
So what will be going down at the first Raw since the Rumble? Well since no one from Raw won the Royal Rumble and its accompanying spot in Wrestlemania nothing is set for WWE’s flagship show. As I expected Shawn Michaels was the runner-up in last nights Rumble and although he is not guaranteed a spot in the rumble I would expect to see him get involved for the WWE title.
Cena took down Umaga meaning their feud is over?!?! Whether it is over or not will play a big role in what goes down from here to Wrestlemania but I …read more
Michaels/Edge Streetfight Takes Center Stage
On a Raw sure to be filled with Royal Rumble hype the show delivered just what was expected. Shawn Michaels and Edge kicked off the show fighting around the ring as the animosity between Rated-RKO and Shawn Michaels has been magnified since Triple-H’s injury. The brawl led Mr. McMahon to announce the main event for the night, a streetfight between Michaels and Edge.
Shawn took advantage of the no DQ rules to use a belt, ladder, and chair among other conventional ojects turned weapons to take out the Rated-R Edge. After having seemingly wearing Edge down enough to get the victory …read more
Bloody Shawn Michaels Takes Down Rated-RKO
Shawn Michaels came to Raw with revenge on his mind. He left Raw bloodied after exacting his revenge over two of the most hated WWE wrestlers: Edge and Randy Orton.
The action for the nights main event started early in the broadcast when Rated-RKO used “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan as an example first beating him up backstage then performing the con-chair-to on him infront of thousands of fans. Ric Flair responded by giving Shawn Michaels his support and backup. Rated-RKO’s response: another beat down, this time with Flair on the recieving end.
An obviously furious Michaels delivered sweet chin music to Todd Grisham …read more
Raw Preview…Sort of
Well this weeks WWE Raw preview may just be the vaguest to come out of WWE ever, that is short of them not telling us anything. Here is what we do know. Expect more Cena/Umaga rivalry this week. I mean even WWE is hinting that it may be reaching an end and I can only hope so since a new storyline is always welcome. The only match that war announced (and has been for a week) is the 2-on-1 handicap match between Rated-RKO and Shawn Michaels.
As much as I hoped the Ric Flair and Kenny Dyksta storyline was done WWE …read more
Umaga Takes Out Anger On Cena
John Cena opened up RAW last night adressing just how tough Umaga was but that his win was not a ‘fluke’ as Umaga’s manager Armando Estrada had indicated. Cena indicated he was willing to challenge Umaga again for the championship on RAW until Johnathan Coachman appeared to announce RAW’s newest member, the Great Khali.
So it appears the rumors were true and Khali has indeed moved to RAW. Coachmen stated he was giving Umaga the night off because of his hard work at NYR and that Cena would face the Great Khali in a non-title match instead.
The match was bad for …read more
