Bloody hell 2 title changes last night on RAW, who says they don't like doing title changes outside of the US then?? Great that Team RKO won the belts. Let's hope that DX don't win them anytime soon.
And as for the Intercontental Champ why? Transitional or wqhat and now they have a ladder rematch next week on RAW...
I think it could shape up to be a good raw (I haven't seen it yet as I had work early) I'll definately catch the repeat. I like the Idea of edge and Orton being the champs and Dx feuding with them.
I wonder who the number 1 contender for the title is going to be? I'd love to see a no 1 contenders tournament and someone like Hardy to win. Other than him I can't think of any one suited or even high enough up the ladder to be considered for a title shot.

Umaga. Or have HHH kick his ass. I think Id even prefer HHH to Cena. In fact Id prefer almost anyone to Cena (apart form the MIz, but even that would be a close run thing)
I couldn't deal with Umaga being champ (think of how bad Estrada would be if he won? I can just about stomach him at the minute) And unless Trips came back in a Mask with a different I don't think the fans would be into another title raign. (Besides he's still in the Dx RKO feud that's bound to have some longetivity to it)
Which kind of worries me about RAWs main event talent pool then. Although I have a horrible feeling, that DX will get the belts off team RKO sooner rather than later and then we may be looking at a Orton Cena feud.
Well the Umaga saga is getting a bit boring and i hope he gets beat soon. Cena is bringing in loads of money by been champ and DX are also bringing in loads. Raw is a bit strange at the minute. I want them to push Jeff Hardy and Carlito on!
Raw will be left to sort out the Survivor Series fallout this week in Pittsburgh.
Who Will Survive on Sunday?
Will DX get their revenge on Rated-RKO? The World Tag Team Champions have promised to destroy DX and have proven that they’ll stop at nothing until their goal is achieved. Does DX have Team Rated-RKO’s number? On Sunday, the rivalry will come to a boiling point in their Traditional Survivor Series Match.
Will WWE Champion John Cena lead his team to victory over the Largest Athlete in the World’s team? ECW World Champion Big Show has dominated throughout his entire career, but does Cena have the formula to rally his team to destroy the Extreme Giant’s team?
With Ron Simmons stepping up to fill in for an injured Roddy Piper, Ric Flair’s team of WWE Legends is planning to show the Spirit Squad that youth doesn’t always guarantee victory in WWE. Can the Legends use their vast experience to outlast the youthful Spirit Squad?
Lita has announced that she will retire after her Women’s Championship Match at Survivor Series. She also claimed she’d upstage Trish Stratus’ exit from WWE by entering and exiting the City of Brotherly Love wearing the Women’s gold. Can Mickie James figure out a way to ruin Lita’s idea of a perfect departure from WWE?
Latest Raw preview... Iwonder if that first comment about DX is telling us that they are going to lose at survivor series???
Advertisements in the Pittsburgh area have been hinting to a DX and John Cena vs. Edge, Randy Orton and Umaga six man tag team match for Monday night Raw.
Wow an actual decent RAW last night capped off by the rather excellent Tag MAtch.. It was biult up well Edge and Orton looked like they really wanted to keep the belts and even the match ending DQ worked.... Didn't get the beating up of Flair though...
Cena Vs. Umaga is now on, so finally we have a proper fued for the world title now...

wow, Umaga has been pushed fast. Is he that over? Maybe this is push over or incredibly he wins the title!
I know this ounds a bit left field but Umaga reminds me of Vader in the old killer heel days of the WCW... Id like to see him champ. At least hed be something new.
- Bryan Alvarez is reporting that the storyline involving Team RKO beating up Ric Flair last night on “Raw” is to explain his departure from WWE television for a short time so that Flair can attend to preparations for his divorce proceedings from his second wife, Beth.
meh on Umaga..I'd still have Edge champ even though most people seem to hate him, ah well at least he can say hes held the title more than Christian ever will.
One night after ECW’s December to Dismember, Raw rivalries heat up in North Charleston, S.C.
Team DX-tremes The Hardys soared to victory over MNM at December to Dismember, but Joey Mercury & Johnny Nitro (keith note: ONE TIME ONLY!) plan to turn up the heat several notches on Raw—by teaming up with Edge & Randy Orton. Rated-RKO is still gloating about their heinous actions last week, leaving Ric Flair lying in a pool of his blood, plus leveling The Hardys (keith note: ONE TIME ONLY!) and getting themselves disqualified during their World Tag Team Championship Match. Matt & Jeff won’t be alone against this fatal foursome, however; in their corner will be very pissed-off D-Generation X members Shawn Michaels and Triple H, who want revenge on Flair’s attackers at all costs. Will they succeed, or do MNM and Rated-RKO have a plan that will leave The Hardys and DX in the same condition as the annihilated Nature Boy?
Champ vs. Bulldozer Last week, Umaga challenged John Cena to a WWE Championship match, a challenge that The Champ quickly accepted. He looked ready to go right then and there, but Armando Alejandro Estrada kept Umaga from going after Cena, saying the match would happen when they want it to. Will we find out exactly when that will be? Revenge is a dish best served Raw, live Monday night at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.
Poor, poor RAW after the good one last week, they come up with this crap.... Cryme Time were midly amusing, if you find old grannies saying pop a cap in yo ass funny. Cena was **** as ever in fact I think he's getting worse. The main event was intresting and Im, hoping that the Kenny angle may lead somewhere. otherwise load of old poo.
Harley Race's World League Wrestling stars Daniel Cross, Ace Steel, Ty Dalton and Mike DiBiase, the son of the "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase are all scheduled to appear at the 1/8 Raw taping in St. Louis, MO. and at the 1/9 Smackdown/ECW tapings in Peoria, IL.
On a side note, WWE superstar Trevor Murdoch is the new WLW World Champion.
Intresting I wonder how they are going to be involved??
This week, Raw emanates from the Tyson Event Center in Sioux City, Iowa.
Phenom to render a decision As first reported by WWE Mobile Alerts, 2007 Royal Rumble winner Undertaker will open Raw this week by revealing which champion he will face at WrestleMania 23. At exactly 9/8 CT, The Phenom will render his grim decision live on Raw. Last week, moments after Shawn Michaels and WWE Champion John Cena became the World Tag Team Champions, Undertaker rose up through the floor to stare down The Champ. Does the Phenom have his eyes on the WWE Championship?
On the same page? Speaking of Cena & HBK, are the new World Tag Team Champions really a cohesive unit? Just moments after winning the titles last week on Raw, it appeared as though Michaels may have been thinking about delivering Sweet Chin Music to his new partner. Is Michaels looking to take out Cena?
Trumped Mr. McMahon was not pleased when Donald Trump won the WWE fans’ adoration by having buckets of his money dumped into the American Airlines Center. Will Mr. McMahon try to top the Donald? What does the future hold for these two rival billionaires?
First time ever For the first time ever, Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy will go one-on-one with the legendary Nature Boy, Ric Flair in non-title action. If Flair can somehow pull out a victory over Hardy, he will earn the right to challenge for the Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 23.
Women's gold at stake WWE Women's Champion Mickie James will be in action tonight, defending her title against red-hot challenger Melina. Will Melina ride the paparazzi to her first ever Women's Championship? Or will Mickie remain the cornerstone of the competitive Raw division?
Find out this and more on Raw this Monday night at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.
Jeff Vs Naitch?? That could be a cool match. But please dont tell me Naitch will win.... So Melina's oft delayed title run is on the way then? Anyone gonna be watching tonight?
Just curious here - people were saying elsewhere that the Cena/Orton match last week was really good, but I caught it on friday's repeat and really wasn't impressed. What was everyone else opinion on the match?
I pretty much jumped up off my bed when I saw him, does this mean he'll be involved at WM? I kind of see him involved in the ending of the Billionaires Hair match.
I think he'll be back some time this year. But I think it's a bit late in the day for him to be in Wrestlemania as a competitor, if they did it would be a shambles and just something that's been thrown together. My bet is Rock Vs Vince at Summerslam.
- The Rock keeps in regular contact with Raw head writer Brian Gerwitz, and it was Gerwitz who asked The Rock to do the cameo appearance last week. The Rock did the promo without a script.
So what is JBL's surprise for Shawn going to be, because I doubt he'll wrestle. Is it to much to ask for JBL to bring Marty Jannetty back? Or Benoit to go rabid and rip Cena's arm out of it's socket?
With only two stops left for Raw before WrestleMania, allegiances are bound to crumble as many Superstars align themselves for gold at the biggest night in sports-entertainment.
SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long has confirmed that next week on Raw, it will be WrestleMania reversal night. Both of the World Tag Team Champions, John Cena and Shawn Michaels, will face opponents from their partner’s WrestleMania past. John Cena will face Chris Benoit and Shawn Michaels will take on JBL. Which Superstar will step up on the quest for dominance?
Last week, Chris Masters turned to Lilian Garcia when no one answered his Master Lock Challenge; luckily, Super Crazy prevented her from getting the Master Lock, instead feeling the painful hold himself.
Someone has stepped up, however: ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley. Just 13 days before he meets Umaga at WrestleMania, Lashley will take the Master Lock challenge on Raw. Will the ECW World Champion be the first to break the devastating hold? And if he doesn't, will this Challenge crack the list of Masters' greatest Master Lock moments?
In a shocking turn of events, Mr. McMahon did not give Donald Trump the billionaire bitch slap he had promised. Instead, “The Donald” pushed the Chairman over a table. How will Mr. McMahon retaliate after facing such embarrassment?
Two weeks ago, The Great Khali made himself heard when he demanded: “I want Kane!” Last week, Kane responded by destroying the announce table with his twisted gaze fixed on Khali. After seeing what Kane did to Daivari on Friday Night SmackDown, what kind of destruction will occur if these two meet again?
Find out live Monday night at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.
Can't see it being the Rock as he has point blank refused to ever wrestle HBK. It's more likely to be someone like Taker.
Alternatively, JBL's surprise he promised was... well, nothing. It's a crystal clear metaphor for WWE right now. The promotion continues to promise and delivers nothing.
