RAW Five-Point Preview:

Get ready, WWE Universe: Corporate Kane is on the loose. And it appears he may have the imprimatur of The Authority. On Sunday, Triple H tweeted, "@KaneWWE As discussed, we will be watching #WWE #RAW." Is The Authority handing over the reigns of power to The Devil’s Favorite Demon? If so, from where will they be watching? And just what was "discussed" between the two parties? If The Authority deem The Big Red Monster the ultimate authority on Raw, where does that place Raw GM Brad Maddox? Kane made his handshake deal with The Authority official when he traded in his mask for a suit and tie as WWE’s new Director of Operations. While the demon toes the line for Triple H, however, another fiend is also on the loose as Bray Wyatt’s merciless attacks spill over into their third week. What does this Monday’s Raw hold in store for all the key players, including Wyatt and the new No. 1 contender, Big Show? Here are a few theories.

1. Dangerous Alliance

The Wyatt Family has taken to making an example of CM Punk and Daniel Bryan in recent weeks, battering the two former WWE Champions across both Raw and SmackDown. Some intermittent teamwork between the old rivals has kept Bray Wyatt and his clan at bay, but perhaps something stronger will be needed to drive the backwoods fiends back. Might we see a full-fledged coalition formed on Raw this week?

2. Three-way Dance

John Cena has already backed up his World Heavyweight Championship victory at WWE Hell in a Cell with several more wins, including a grueling title defense against Damien Sandow. But with not one but two Superstars circling The Champ’s prize – Sandow himself and former champion Alberto Del Rio – can the Cenation leader, still recovering from surgery, rise above a pair of rabid dogs hell-bent on taking his gold?

3. Choose The Deadman's greatest foe

“WWE 2K14”-mania is in full swing, and the WWE Universe has yet another chance to peep a preview of the hottest game in the land. This week, you get to vote on who The Undertaker’s greatest WrestleMania opponent was, and the results will be broadcast live on Monday’s Raw along with a simulation of the classic confrontation you select. Vote here now!

4. Be careful what you wish for

Big Show made some power moves that got him his job back last week, and was promptly rewarded with the beating of a lifetime courtesy of Randy Orton and The Shield. Granted, he also got the WWE Title Match against Randy Orton he wanted, but it certainly seems like The Authority’s going to do everything they can to stop him from even making it to Survivor Series. With The World’s Largest Bullseye plastered across the giant’s back, what’s in store for the No. 1 contender come Monday?

5. The Devil's Favorite Director

Most people compare their bosses to Satan as it is, but now the WWE locker room has to contend with Kane as a bona fide Authority figure. As Triple H’s latest recruit within his burgeoning power structure, The Big Red Monster has taken up residence as WWE’s Director of Operations, though his duties, responsibilities, and more importantly, his powers, remain unclear. However, it stands to reason that all of those questions will be answered very, very soon, and the suit-and-tie Kane may prove to be the most devious incarnation of the former World Champion the WWE Universe has ever seen. Tune into Raw this Monday at 8/7 CT to see what goes down.

Expect a really good episode tonight, they usually go all out on the UK Shows, Undertaker return? Possible.

 

[Rogue]

Barrett confirmed via Twitter he'll be returning tonight,it'll be interesting to see if he's been repackaged or not.

 

[Shadie T]

Anyone able to tell me what Bad News Barrett is?

 

[Brad.]

Anyone able to tell me what Bad News Barrett is?

Despite being absent from WWE television, Barrett frequently appears on the JBL and Cole Show on WWE's YouTube channel, giving bad news to other WWE Superstars and Divas. Wade Barrett returned on November 7 at a WWE live event in Dublin and called himself as "Bad News Barrett". He cut a heel promo on Ireland before defeating Zack Ryder.

I hope there is something planned for him tonight instead of just seeing Barrett squash Kofi in a meaningless match.

Isn't this show taped? I had a feeling it would be.

Isn't this show taped? I had a feeling it would be.

It gets taped about 7PM GMT.

 

[Jeremy]

Might just read spoilers and not sit through 3 hours this time.

 

[BrockLesnarFanForLife]

Mancs rule Raw tonight

 

[Shadie T]

Rumours are Paige is going to be called up in England

 

[Rogue]

Doubt she would debut with little to no build up before hand.

 

[Shadie T]

No divas get build up for debuts

 

[Coon]

Shit is it at the phones4u arena? My bus goes past there and it's a tighter squeeze than a virgin to get through.
What time is it? Place better not be packed to shit.

 

[Shadie T]

About 7pm I believe

 

[Rogue]

Kharma had weeks of build up before she debuted. Plus,she's not the typical diva.
