Raw Preview For 3-3-14

With the road to Wrestlemania speeding up we enter the city of Chicago tonight. While the WWE’s storyline-driven five point preview works to build up matches for mania the rest of the world is looking to see if in fact the controversial CM Punk will appear on tonight’s broadcast from his hometown. Love him or hate him he is the talk of the universe right now.

John Cena tweeted the following about tonight’s RAW in Chicago:

“Wanna pre thank the Chicago @WWEUniverse tonight for what I think will be a CANT miss #RAW there’ll b plenty of audience participation!!”

Zeb Colter also hyping “Surprises as well in this tweet

– Zeb Colter tweeted the following teaser for tonight’s RAW:

“Tomorrow night…going to be interesting in #WWEChicago…#RAW…chatter is that there’s a few surprises in store. @WWE”
This comes after reports that CM Punk wouldn’t be at Raw and WWE officials were quoted as saying that they were  preparing to prevent CM Punk fans disrupting the show by “planning accordingly”, which was then followed by conflicting reports that CM Punk  would be at Raw according to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer who says his source (a top WWE talent) says Punk will 100% be there. 

There have been rumors going around online for many weeks that the hometown crowd would hijack the show if CM Punk did not appear. A reader on our site had an interesting comment regarding tonight’s Raw.

“what if they make the crowd go crazy by playing his theme song, bring out Bad News Barrett and say “I’m afraid I got some bad news!!!,”. That would be classic.”

One thing is for sure, tonight’s Raw will be all about Punk either way at least on social media. And obviously the WWE is planning something  to keep fans happy er…. distracted if Punk doesn’t appear.
