Punk vs Dolph....have a feeling we could get a MOTY contender right off the bat tonight :P

I'm hoping we'll get some proper build up to the Rumble starting tonight as well...

We may even get one or two Royal Rumble qualifier matches as filler.

Punk v Dolph 2.


if allowed time it would be great so i'm expecting a short match with a dodgy finish with the real match taking place at the Rumble.

Clay or Jericho to interfere in Punk V Ziggler's match perhaps

their match a few weeks ago was excellent, Ziggler is a star..

CMpunked

Whoever the 2012 videos are for to interfere and lay out dolph.
I should expect tonight to get a good rating. Well, at least a better one than previous weeks.

PTH2009

So will they start the show with whoever the 2012 videos are for

Not a chance. If its disappointing then they don't want people switching off. My guess will be not the very last segment but the one before that one.

Hopefully its Jericho and that sets up a triple threat match for the Rumble!

Would they tease the return of Jericho/Taker during the show? Maybe start showing one or two promos until he actually arrives later on in the show

Machismo Fan

My last live Raw for a significant period of time. Hoping to go out on a good one, too often in the last few months has my misery at staying up until 4 been compounded by a bad Raw. At least tonight should be at the very least eventful.

spiritcrusher

Wouldn't be surprised to see a few swerves and red herrings throughout the night like they did when Rock was returning (remember the woman's foot stepping out of a limo, and Mick Foley the next time), and like when both HHH and Taker returned at the same time last year. My money is still on Jericho but anything could happen, including more than one return.

gnfnrhead

2am to 4am correct? I don't usually stay up but I'm considering it this week. What other matches/feuds are expected?

A Primal Nut

I've a feeling the It Begins thing will be spoiled before it happens. So gonna stay off these forums until it's revealed.

CMpunked

If it will on this thread I would be expecting spoiler tags.

I was hoping the Rumble match would come down to Jericho and Orton but that's not happening.

cocalolaman

Angron

Didn't Orton punt kick Jericho in the head just before he left ? I would assume if it was Jericho he would of perhaps feuded with Orton, but alas Randy is now injured.

That's great. Even has some F1 streams that I'll need. Cheers!

PRobably won't get to watch til the morning but looking forward to see who the promo videos are for and also the title match. I'd imagine there'll be quick interruptions showing the it begins videos a few times throughout the show, might get the return of taker half way thru to throw us off the scent.

I reckon they could open up wit the punk-ziggler match, as they also done this last year. IF it Is the main event, our it begins person may interfere.

Charisteas

Apparently, dark matches tonight are Jerry Lawler Vs Michael Cole, and John Cena Vs Kane.

CMpunked

So we can maybe expect the mystery man to take the final segment.

First live raw I'm watching in well over a year I'd say. Kudos to WWE for sparking interest like this.


Friend of mine puts up a status about Raw tonight and one of the replies is

"It's all the same **** - A bunch of white trash freaks act out a play fight to entertain retards, the outcome of which has been decided in advance by the guys who make all the money from it"


Honestly can't tell if trolling

Charisteas

Can't believe it was 2 years ago tonight when Bret Hart and Hulk Hogan returned to pro-wrestling.

And here we are eagerly anticipating the return of two more legends tonight

Did Hogan ever really leave?

His last apperance in WWE before going to TNA was 2007 or 2008 I think.

Dont forget that a year ago, (on the 14th) the Great One came back to where he belongs too.

Haha i saw that status too. It wasnt trolling, you read it wrong. he was comparing it to the Republican election race

Think his last match was Summerslam 2007 against Randy Orton, so he would have been gone for just over two years I guess.

Nevertheless, two years ago tonight we were all salivating over the return of the Monday Night Wars!

Now, if only we could get Hogan to stay away :pac:

Quick question, does anyone remember what was the first segment of the first raw last year?

It will be some anti climax if its Deadman taker coming back to feud with Kane...

Angron

Nah, they couldn't do Taker with Kane again. Not if Kane is starting with Cena anyway.
