RAW Preview

raw-header 750

Randy Orton is in deep trouble. The Authority’s faith in him seems to flip-flop every week, & The Viper hasn’t exactly risen to the challenge against his 5 Elimination Chamber opponents in singles competition. Orton is just 1-3 after hi upset loss to Cesaro on SmackDown & his final hurdle is against Sheamus tonight on RAW. The Apex Predator needs a win. Can he beat Sheamus?

The New Age Outlaws have been somewhat dismissive  of the notion of The Usos as legitimate contenders to their WWE Tag Team Titles. The Usos defeated The New Age Outlaws in an 8-Man Tag Team Match on SmackDown. Will The Usos finally get their opportunity at the Titles?

Jack Swagger defeated Rey Mysterio, Kofi Kingston & Mark Henry on SmackDown to become the #1 contender to Big E’s Intercontinental Championship. The Elimination Chamber is setting up to be a game-changer for Zeb Colter & his crew. Can Swagger stay on the rebound from his recent misfortunes & keep The Real Americans running strong?

Looks like strongly worded reprimands aren’t going to do much for Daniel Bryan, who gave his old buddy Kane a stronger reprimand right to the face courtesy of a running knee last Monday on RAW. Will there be another confrontation between them tonight on RAW?

Alberto Del Rio got what he wanted – he will face Batista at Elimination Chamber – and he also may have gotten more than he bargained for, as a Batista Bomb through the announce table last week. Now that The Animal has zeroed in on Del Rio as his target, Del Rio has to start thinking strategy. Can Del Rio find a way to neutralize Batista before the Elimination Chamber?

Brock Lesnar’s Next Raw Appearance

WrestlingInc.com reported that Brock Lesnar is not expected to appear on RAW this week or next week. Lesnar’s next appearance on RAW will be February 24th in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the post Elimination Chamber show. The WWE Network will launch immediately after RAW.

The Undertaker is also expected to make his return that night. Could their be a confrontation between The Undertaker & Lesnar?

RAW Preview

The legendary Betty White will be this weeks guest star on RAW.

When Triple H & Stephanie McMahon said Daniel Bryan could be the new Face of WWE if he beat Randy Orton, they probably didn’t expect him to actually win. Now The Authority has some uncomfortable decisions to make. With Orton finding new reasons to complain every week & Bryan making good on his promises, might The Authority actually consider making Bryan the Face of WWE?

It’s been about a month since the WWE Universe last saw Mark Henry, whose elbow was dislocated & fractured by Brock Lesnar. Now that The World’s Strongest Man is all healed up & ready to go, who will be the first to check-in to the reopened Hall of Pain?

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton, under orders from The Authority has to face each of his Elimination Chamber opponents in single matches. Orton so far is one for one, losing to Daniel Bryan on RAW & beating Christian on SmackDown. Up next for Orton is John Cena. Cena has never quite repaid Orton for beating up his father. Will the payback be to much for the Apex Predator to stand?

Kane attacked Daniel Bryan after his win over Randy Orton last Monday on RAW & cost him a match against Antonio Cesaro on SmackDown. Will RAW bring about another confrontation between Kane & Bryan? Safe to say hugging it out wont fix their problems this time around.
