Zack Ryder/Big O/Ryder's Dad, any of them could kick HHH's skinny fat ass.

starviewadams

Taping Raw?so Raw aint live tonight then?

Lord TSC

Ugh. So what, not content to waste HHH's return on a B ppv, they've decided to have him fight on Raw? Way to kill the ONLY thing that was a genuine draw for the pay per view...

johnnycnandy

Triple H has a match tonight? How does that make sense? There is a reason for him to be fighting Punk, but it doesn't make any sense to have the COO of the company having a match with someone else on the roster.

In kayfabe, they can just bill it as him saying he knows its been months since he last fought, so he wants a warm up to shake off ring rust.

So, let's take bets lads. Who is the poor bastard who has to do the job and get buried? I'm going Alberto...

johnnycnandy

Swagger or McIntyre

chopperbyrne

It'll be a mid level heel for sure.

Hopefully HHH will make him look great too.

Swagger would be a good bet, although he's involved in a storyline at the moment, so it might be a Smackdown heel.

starviewadams

Would be funny if it was Mistico!

Charisteas

Is it confirmed he has a match tonight? Couldn't see anything about it on wwe.com, and it's really something I would imagine they would want to advertise.

I'm gna say Christian and be extremely pissed if it happens.

Apparantly PWInsider were getting ahead of themselves:

Nothing has been confirmed for tonight's edition of Monday Night Raw (now being billed as the Raw SuperShow on WWE.com live from Columbus, Ohio. WWE.com is teasing more involving Triple H, Kevin Nash and CM Punk tonight: "With only two weeks left until Night of Champions, expect tensions to explode between an enraged Kevin Nash and rivals Triple H and CM Punk."

DM_7

Maybe HHH will get involved in the dark match post raw or something.

Thank you!

Trips ain't stepping foot in the ring to wrestle unadvertised or unpromoted.

From today's update at F4W

--They have advertised HHH wrestling his first match since Mania tonight. Why he would wrestle tonight and not wait for the PPV is beyond me. John Cena vs. C.M. Punk vs. Alberto Del Rio was announced locally as the main event but that's likely the dark match.

--Expect R-Truth & Miz pushed as a team tonight. On the house shows they worked with Kofi Kingston & Evan Bourne, so it is likely that match will be added to Night of Champions. Randy Orton, Christian, Mark Henry and Sheamus all left France early so they could make it to Columbus today.

Eire-Dearg

The travelling they do is immense. I wouldn't be able to stick it.

Furious-Red

David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty have been taking storyline shots at Jerry Lawler on Twitter. Whatever feud they began last week on RAW will continue on tonight’s show.

jmolloy

i hate otunga with a passion, won't mind seeing king kick his ass and then getting released

starviewadams

No more ''who wears the pants'' jokes from Punk please!

bradlente

Whos this young whippersnapper eh?

or puking jokes. If Nash comes out I bet they advertise just for men soon after.

Strongbow10

punk getting serious heat off some of the crowd

starviewadams

Not a great segment at all,the fans seem genuinely confused.

Tinie

I wish Vince was still around.

Mr.Nice Guy

Punk's schtick is getting old.

POSSY

anyone got a stream?! late arriving...anyone wanna catch me up as well!

Strongbow10

Nash : "this universe isn't big enough for him and I"

A lot seem to be confused when punk is on about Oz,Vinnie Vegas & Super Shredder. Tbh who the hell is going to get any of those who isn't 20+
BTW The Turtles RULED but the live action films sucked balls

jmolloy

bye bye nash

Eire-Dearg

Someone keeps screaming at the top of their lungs in the crowd.

starviewadams

Punk's left looking like a sap again!

jmolloy

best of luck in your future endeavours

Charlie Haughy

ugh what a terrible segment. This storyline is a complete mess.

bradlente

Was a bit meh

Liam O

I genuinely have no idea what to think of that segment, not sure what the point of bringing Nash back in general was, especially to put him in that storyline, now we're stuck with Punk being in limbo with the crowd and going into NOC as the more heelish guy. He should have been pushed to the sky and we're left with this...

this sums up the conumdrum of pro wrestling fans

we cry out for the to stop aiming it at kids

then when they do we criticise them for targetting the older audience like we wished for, its called a bad move.

its a no win

the problem isnt with the inside references, its down to the fact nash is god awful

GTR63

Jinder Mahal & Khali surely that is the pinnacle of tag team wrestling. Punk's storyline isn't getting better by the passing weeks, the whole pipebomb thing losses its impact when he does it every week thats my 2 cents anyway

Eire-Dearg

The King in a match? Against Otunga and/or McGillicudy?

Really? REALLY? Really.

POSSY

This whole storyline has me just genuinely confused as to what in the name of Jebus is going on!!! It's just going around in circles, and it's hard to believe just over a month ago, Punk was the hottest thing in the biz involved in the best storyline for quiet some time!!! Seems like a lifetime ago now!

Come on now are fans now going to remember a awful gimmick from wcw in the early 90's or a shoddy turtles flick. People here either blame Nash or more likely Triple H the storyline is struggling cause wwe are almost hap hazardly doing it on the fly. Yes its Prince Julien & Mort (a refrence from a kids movie not made 20 years ago)

Eire-Dearg

GIGGIDY GIGGIDY.

starviewadams

Kelly Kelly is walking like she's in tremendous pain from her shoes.

jmolloy

is the issue not that wwe shouldn't have involved nash in a storyline until after he cleared his medical so they wouldn't have had to be as haphazard now?

why do they put kelly on commentary any time she does it she struggles

Mr Trade In

I would say Nash failed a fitness test, or they can't get him insured. Thank Fcuk IMO, HE is a train wreck. In two weeks time Punk will be back in the hunt for the title and all this will be a forgotten memory.

starviewadams

Wahey Natalya!

Strongbow10

expect some serious banter here with kelly kelly and Natalya

GTR63

The WWE Universe doesn't care about the divas. Wonder will Inside Out be in the cinemas in ireland ;-)

Eire-Dearg

Just noticed JR is on commentary.

And King is gone very quiet. Probably has his crown over his crown.
