RAW Preview

Hulk Hogan returns to RAW. He will likely look to get reacquainted with the WWE Universe before he handles the hosting duties of WrestleMania XXX, but the landscape of WWE has drastically changed since The Hulkster last came home. With new faces like The Authority, The Wyatt Family & Daniel Bryan in play, is “The Immortal One” already in danger? Or will he show them once again, where the power lies?

The Wyatt Family defeated The Shield last night at Elimination Chamber. What awaits The Shield? Can they right the ship once more? Or is it the end of one of the most dominate groups in WWE history?

Randy Orton will defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Batista at WrestleMania XXX. How will Orton kick off the road to his biggest title defense ever? Will The Authority be forced to pick sides between Triple H’s two protégés?

The WrestleMania main event hopes of both John Cena & Daniel Bryan were dashed inside the Elimination Chamber thanks to outside interference: Both The Wyatt’s & Kane forced their way inside The Chamber, much to the detriment of Bryan & Cena. Neither Superstar has been one to take this sort of injustice lying down, so what’s in store for The Wyatt’s & Kane?

The WWE Network launched today. Fans can experience the RAW Pre-Show & Backstage Pass.

Also rumored to appear are Brock Lesnar, Ric Flair & The Undertaker.

Ed’s Perspective: Hogan To Finish Right Where He Belongs

The news that was leaked and then later confirmed by the WWE, that Hulk Hogan will be making his WWE return this week has had the mainstream media abuzz. In my opinion, this is rightfully so.

In my mind, Hogan and his 24 inch pythons always belonged along side Vince McMahon and in the WWE. I remember when he moved to WCW, and it just never felt right to me – and it wasn’t just the heel turn that make me feel that way.

I was a huge WCW mark back then, and bringing the “Immortal” one into the Turner camp should have been amazing – and for many it was. For me however, it just never felt right. Hogan belonged in orange and yellow and not black and white.

Even more recently when the Hulkster was with TNA, my gut always felt that he was out of place. I mean Hogan helped put WWE a step above everyone else. Who could ever forget the night Hogan did the impossible and body slammed Andre the Giant?

When they started referring to the business as being sports entertainment, Hogan fit the definition perfectly. Why else would Fox News, CNN, TMZ, the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, and several others be covering the news of Hogan’s WWE return? It’s huge entertainment news.

Some things in life just need to happen. Many professional ball players sign a 1 day contract and retire with the team where they made their fame and spent most of their career. To me, this is what Vince and Hulk are doing here.

Doing it just before Wrestlemania 30, the Super Bowl of our business is a classy, and not to mention potentially hugely profitable, decision by all parties

And that is good for THE business and the fans.
