Raw 14/01/2013 - 20th Anniversary Edition!

Lord TSC

Thought I'd start this up cause there's already plenty of stuff circulating online about what's happening.

Kaitlyn vs Eve is confirmed for the Diva's title.

Rock is preforming another concert (Yeay!).

Also wouldn't be shocked if Dolph walks out without his briefcase...

GTR63

Think Austin is meant be on it too. Looking forward to it too, weird typing that. But tis the season(WrestleMania that is).
Oh Naitch is going confronting Punk too.

What's been rumoured?

Hope they do a 20th anniversary Raw battle royal like they did at the 15th anniversary (but not take a break in the middle of the entrances).

I'd say Rhodes Scholars might get a tag title match and Lesnar, HBK and HHH also rumoured to be on tonight

Big Daddy Cool

I really hope if Austin is there, that he and The Rock end up in the ring together, I hope i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure Lesnar is not going to be there, same with Undertaker

grames_bond

WWE.com have an article about the number of title changes that have happened on RAW!

Could this be a precurser to tonights show? Cash in perhaps?

edit: and this is what i am really looking forward to!!

Charisteas

I would have thought people of the calibre of Lesnar, Taker, and Austin would be advertised prior to the show.

I could see The Kliq appearing though going by that recent photo rovert posted.

WWE are terrible for advertising nowdays. I wouldn't have known Rock was on smackdown last week had I not had internet(don't remember them advertising it on raw) and the only thing I remember them advertising for Raw tonite on smackdown was Kaitlyn vs. Eve!

Charisteas

Wait, Rock was on Smackdown last week?!

How many people from the first Raw are still around today? I don't mean employed by WWE but still alive and not 150 or something.

Michaels and Undertaker seem the only realistic options from those who wrestled.

andyman

I would imagine if Carlito's in anyway involved, he'll interupt MizTV and go on about how much cooler Carlito's Cabana was.

Didn't Koko lose a leg? Can't see him wanting to do much. Maybe a background appearance or something.

Not sure about the Steiners either, especially Scott.

Hall for obvious reasons.

Bar Vince, I think that makes Tatanka the biggest name?

Big Daddy Cool

Cant believe I'm watching this show for 20 years :eek:, Would love to see Jake the Snake come back later to, dont mind saying if Austin doesnt turn up, i'll be bitterly disappointed

rovert

Miz TV, a discoball and a CAGE are hanging above the ring.

RobbingBandit

airmax87

Lets get this baby rolling.

orestes

Well we're off to a nice start with the intro, let the retro-nostalgia fun begin

B.A._Baracus

Damn you stb box going into standby!!!! :pac: :P

J. Marston

Was that a sprinkling of boos for when Vince mentioned The Rock?

Liam O

The weakest storyline opening such a big raw isn't a great sign...

RobbingBandit

Where is jr.

airmax87

MARKED OUT TO THAT INTRO

TheBantam

Nailed on screwy/ interference finish this match.

Foggy.nelson

Ya from the shield I'd imagine

TheBantam

Wow. Wasn't expecting that. A clean loss for Orton!

willmunny1990

Surprised that ended fairly.

BohsJohnny

that was great a clean win for wade.

Jayob10

clean win for Barrett, interesting

airmax87

Barrett keeps getting better and better for me.

Yeah.
Suggests a match at the rumble. Perhaps mania.

airmax87

super dragon chants ?!

GTR63

Orton is meant to be taking a leave of absence soon, read it today, its not a 3rd strike though it was described as a personal matter.

andyman

I f*cking love Daniel Bryan

andyman

I think I've just pissed myself.

B.A._Baracus

Kinda of a crappy Raw so far because its the 20th anniversary after all.

RobbingBandit

Foley is god.

Foggy.nelson

That rape ad is getting on my nerves, like the premier league returning ads last august
