RAW Set to Kick off the Week of WWE TV
WWE RAW will kick off the week of TV tonight as the crew is on the campus of Penn State University. The show already has two big things in store, as they are going to start the show with the announcment of the brands main event for the May PPV - Judgement Day, which will take place on May 20th in St.Louis. Based on last week, one can only think they are going to go with The Great Khali vs John Cena for the WWE Title, but bookers may be rethinking that decision since now it appears that the SmackDown side of the PPV is going to lack with the injury to the Undertaker.
A better decision would be to put Shawn Michaels vs John Cena III in motion for the title at Judgement Day, and the winner of that could then move on to take on The Great Khali at the June PPV. In the meantime, you could have a great build with Cena and HBK, and then that could carry the PPV while SmackDown gets things back in order with the title change that will take place this week, and trying to get some new storyline built around Batista and a new challenger for the title.
The second big thing on the show they have already leaked on WWE.com is that Randy Orton will take on John Cena. The site does not say if the belt will be on the line, but I doubt it would be despite the fact that it does not matter since this is clearly not a spot for Orton to win it anyway. I still think that Orton will continue to pay for what he did in Europe and the hotel room, and that there is still a chance he may be pushed over to SmackDown.
We'll also see some back and forth with Ric Flair and Carlito after last weeks turn by Carlito, and I would not doubt seeing some interaction with the Hardy's and Cade and Murdoch leading to a rematch either on RAW soon or at the PPV. Don't forget as well that tonights show here will be interactive, as we will have our new SHOUTBOX to the right set up to discuss the show as it is in progress. So be back here tonight to talk about the show as it is going on!
