RAW Five-Point Preview​

​

​

​

Triple H cemented his legacy as a WWE Superstar by taking on some of the toughest competitors of all time, including The Undertaker. There’s no doubt he’s WWE Hall of Fame-bound. But now The Cerebral Assassin is looking to make a name for himself in another arena — the boardroom of a billion dollar public company. However, some of WWE’s Superstars aren’t taking too well to his management style. Here are five reasons to catch Monday’s Raw at 8/7 CT on USA Network.

​

1. CM Punk’s homecoming​

​

​

When Raw rolls into Chicago, hometown boy CM Punk will no doubt be looking for some retribution. With Paul Heyman finally in Punk’s clutches at Night of Champions, Ryback interrupted Punk’s cathartic thrashing of his former best friend. With Ryback and Heyman now buddies, will The Straight Edge Superstar have to get through the “Human Wrecking Ball” if he wants another chance at the ECW founder?

​

​

2. Is a rebellion imminent?​

​

​

A group of Superstars decided to take action last week on Raw and save Daniel Bryan from getting pummeled by Randy Orton and The Shield. The “active protest” did not sit well with COO Triple H, who lined up some fair and honest competition on SmackDown. But Michael Cole was quick to question just how fair the night was for some. Could the COO be soon faced with an all-out rebellion from some Superstars?

​

​

3. "True" Diva vs. "Total" Divas​

​

Divas Champion AJ Lee declared that she will single-handedly defeat all of E!’s “Total Divas,” starting with Naomi on SmackDown. The spitfire Diva backed up her words by making Naomi tap out to the Black Widow, as third-generation Diva Natalya looked on from the announce table. Which Diva will AJ look to tangle with next?

​

4. Deadlier Viper​

​

Randy Orton has shed his skin and revealed the dormant, sadistic side of WWE’s Apex Predator — as The Miz experienced firsthand on last week’s Raw. On SmackDown, The Viper issued a painful promise: He won’t just reclaim the WWE Championship at the first-ever WWE Battleground pay-per-view, but he’ll also massacre his opponent, Daniel Bryan, along the way.

​

5. RVD's second chance​

​

​

Triple H might not be on the top of some Superstars’ current favorite lists, but Rob Van Dam has to be thankful to some degree. On SmackDown, the COO offered the highflier another opportunity at Alberto Del Rio’s World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Battleground. But after the big news, Del Rio carried out a vicious sneak attack on his No. 1 contender. Will RVD be out for retribution this Monday on Raw? Tune in at 8/7 CT on USA Network.

[RoyalRaven]

Hopefully this feud with Ryback doesn't get too boring!

 

[Snowman1]

So the usual suspects for the Raw LD tonight?

 

[Pickle Dick]

I work nights 11p-7a, but leave my house at 9:30p to get there on time.

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread while at work

 

[GrammarNazi82]

Is it going to be "live" live tonight, or will we have to refresh to see new posts?

 

[Snowman1]

Wait wait wait: Does WWE's love of embarassing stars in their hometowns (Mizanin, Mike) extend to CM Punk? He seems to be immune, but seeing Ryback take him out in Chicago just sounds sad.
