There will be previous WM matches on RAW next week. These will include:

John Cena vs. Big Show in a Wrestlemania 20 rematch.

World champ Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels in a rematch from Wrestlemania 19

Triple H vs. Randy Orton in a rematch from Wrestlemania 25

Guest Host Austin will also preside over the contract signing for Vince McMahon vs. Bret Hart for Wrestlemania 26.

Shawn Michaels vs Jericho will steal the show...Besides Austin of course

What's there to be excited about? HHH and Orton worked horribly together and will end in the obvious DQ by interference by Legacy &/or Sheamus. The only exciting prospect that comes of that is perhaps HHH/Orton vs. Legacy/Sheamus the FOLLOWING week.

HBK/Jericho will probably be the same. Undertakers face popping up on the tron, lights going out or....SPEARSPEARSPEAR by ::shudders::...face Edge.

At this point HBK would be the smarter choice to take the pin if anything. They've made Jericho look like shit since winning the title with flabby and unentertaining ~FACE EDGE(spearspearspear)~ making him his bitch every week.

This looks tits. I think this is going to be one of those true wrestling Raws that we've gotten recently. I don't care if there are non finishes, at least it's some actual wrestling that the "best wrestling show" won't have. Give me something that wont make me feel like I wasted two hours for nothing like last night and Austin alone can and probably will do that. And if Jericho-HBK gets even 10 minutes it will be well worth it.

That's ridiculous. Heels look bad against faces. See Edge vs batista a couple years ago or every other heel vs face matchup that was on tv. Now that it's Edge's turn to be the face you show angst. wtfs he came back from a major injury and instead of taking steroids and coming back in half the time and fully ripped (see edge's past) he takes the proper route and you're giving him shit for it. Jericho is the world champion, he doesn't need to look good but yeah the returning face does. He's going to look good against HBK because he's not Edge and they need to prove to peeps with your mindset that he is a guud wrestler. Since it's HBK it won't be like when Edge was taking on funaki, but I'm sure Jericho will outperform HBK making him doublethink his match with taker before taker and edge ruin the match

Austin is hosting.... That my friends is all that matters tbfh. None of the mentioned matches will get a clean finish I don't think. Cena/Show has the higest chance of finishing clean but I see a 'Tista run-in spoiling that.

LOL, how am I giving him shit for anything? I'm just saying that the guy is a bit flabby. Just because you're not on steroids doesn't mean you can't hit the gym...

Anyway, I'm just not a fan of the whole Edge face character right now. And yeah, I fully understand the dynamic of faces usually getting the upper hand on heels in fair confrontations. I just think Jericho is far more deserving of a little more "oomph" in his title reign. Especially in a feud with two guys like Jericho and Edge where we know they're more than capable of putting on an incredible show against each other. Capitalize on that and let's not just see Edge hit a spear on Jericho every week with Jericho rolling out like a bitch.
Batista dominating Edge is a little more understandable... he's booked to be a beast... Edge when he's heel, not so much. All I'm saying is that if anyone is going to take the pin in their match it should be HBK. Jericho could use a big win leading into Mania, even if it's not clean.

This Raw would be BIG RAW NEXT WEEK material if it were the last week of the stupid guest host

But since it's not, I can care less

Oh, herro California!
I don't expect much as far as clean finishes leading up to Mania from this point on. But with the above listed there should at least be some good wrestling. Who cares how things end, that is the point of having everything culminate at Mania. I'd much rather watch actual wrestling, DQ or no DQ, then to sit and watch recaps for two hours.

Austin = Win

That is all.

Yeah, i'm with noumenon on Jericho.

Ever since winning the WHC at EC he has done nothing but get totally owned by Edge and his annoying "SPEAR!SPEAR!SPEAR!" bullshit. This feud could have been 100x better than it is just based on the fact that Edge and Jericho have such dynamic chemistry imo. Jericho needs to at the very least get some sort of win going into Mania to avoid totally being buried in this feud, which he is starting to be.

I don't think so, not against Edge anyway. Edge still needs to stabilize himself as a strong face and it's going to be a rocky road and he needs Jericho to make him shine especially if he's still nursing a injury. Give Jericho a win against Cena or Triple H even HBK. If he gets a clean win then that means he's losing to Edge at Mania. 95% of the time the faces win at Mania, and having the faces lose up to Mania would be silly, even the 8 year olds can pick up on that.

I guess i'm just agreeing with ya, A little oomph in his reign would be nice, but it would have to be subtle and done in a way where it doesn't seem like they're desperately trying to build this feud as if they recognize that Jericho and Edge doesn't have steam. That'd suck I haven't watched wrestling so I guess I shouldn't be here but it sounds like Edge is still injured. I wouldn't count on their WM match being better then yesser years. Shows you how much the talent stinks that a injured Edge is still the best main event available. Less is more, and it'll pick up dun wry

LOL, so if they haven't watched how are you even commenting on this? They've been making Jericho look like complete shit. Regardless of the whole heel/face, win/loss balance and dynamic they've still made him look like a bitch the past few weeks. I mean I'll admit I have a little bias because I really do HATE Edge's face character at this point... the guy has gone from my top five to just dropping off my radar completely. It's just an all around let down as I think a lot of people expected this to be an epic feud. But as I was saying all along, there was nowhere near enough steam or personal hatred to make this Mania worthy.

The WWE has totally dropped the ball on the Jericho/Edge feud. This could have been a totally epic Mania show stealing feud/match. But rather then doing the right thing and taking a good thing and running with it, they make Jericho look like Edge's bitch. Ever since winning the WHC he has done nothing but get speared, and complain about getting speared.

Now, I may be a little biased because imo Jericho is the best in the world at what he does lol and I hate Edge's face turn. But to make this a credible Mania match (which it is far from) Jericho should look as strong, or maybe even a little stronger then Edge going into Mania. If Jericho does not get some sort of win on Smackdown or Raw, it would almost be 100% that Edge is walking out of Mania as the WHC.
