Tonight, WWE is broadcasting this week's edition of Raw from the Richmond Coliseum in Richmond, VA. The following is being advertised for tonight's show:
-Dolph Ziggler is scheduled to return after he cut a promo on Smackdown last week claiming that he has been medically cleared to return. We noted earlier today that Ziggler did not compete at house show events this weekend, but that was likely to give him some extra time to rest.
-Kaitlyn's secret admirer is likely to be revealed on Raw tonight, as the reveal was teased for tonight on Smackdown last week.
-WWE is once again advertising Triple H vs Curtis Axel, a main event that did not take place last week.
-The dark match main event for tonight is being listed as John Cena vs Ryback for the WWE Title.

I fast forwarded through every second of HHH and the McMahons last week and I will do the exact same thing tomorrow. I have no time for this story in 2013.

I wonder will we get another ADR vs Big E match? One thing you can say about Raw, theres lots to fast forward.

The only thing I'm interested in seeing now is What's gonna happen with D.Bryan and Randy. Will Randy turn heel fully?

Aurora Rose is only 7 and Shane's eldest Declan is 9 so get used to it. :P

Meltzer is guessing the admirer is Khali. I am guessing Nattie.

Kaitlyn is up for the ride:

I expect this whole "secret admirer" thing to be a waste of space

Like most things involving the Divas or the Great Khali!

Lord TSC

I didn't realise stalking girls, sending them horrible hats and quoting The Simpsons actually worked when wooing girls.

Now...how will Sheamus act like a dick this week?

takamichinoku

presumably he'll answer a riddle from Sandow by flushing his head down a toilet?

Only if Vince had someone young and decent fighting his battles, and a majority of the feud was spent putting over that talent.

The last thing we need is two old men fighting for power like that...

Paige is still my bet.

Sheamus is buddies with Triple H and doesnt seem to be doing an awful lot. Could easily make him a real main eventer out of it. Not sure who Vince could call on though. Most people that make sense, dont need it.

Lord TSC

I'd argue it's done Sheamus quite a bit; has been in and around the title scene for the last few years, constantly on the posters for PPV shows, constantly in stories that are on both shows. I'd imagine there's quite a few wrestlers who'd literally kill to get what Sheamus has right now.

Anyway, if you'd told me last year that the thing I'd be looking forward to most tonight was a Husky Harris promo, I'd have slapped you :P

Is it Big E?

I thought it was Cody at one time leading to a face turn and feud with Sandow

I meant he isnt doing much right now. He's just sorta there.

I'm sensing a face turn when CM Punk eventually comes back to WWE, finger's crossed he returns tonight, or his return is teased

Lord TSC

Think they will hold off on Punk till the PPV now. His return is going to be a part selling point for the show.

Yeah it's such an interesting character, reminds me a bit of the devils rejects(great movie by the way, staring Ddp to)....love the way talent is gettiby decent debuts just can't help feel sorry for some of the New talent initiative guys like Braden walker, Scotty Goldman etc

Cape Fear is likely the main inspiration for Wyatt

Taking a wild guess and saying that Kaitlyn's admirer will be revealed as Cody Rhodes

riffmongous

Assuming the secret admirer isn't Khali or Hornswoggle (which is sadly a pretty big assumption, although they are probably keeping Hornswoggle back as the secret leader of the Shield for the moment) it would be a great way to have Christian return, not as the admirer but in a few weeks as the sleazy guy trying to get with Kaitlyn instead ala 2003/4 with Trish and Jericho

Lithium93_

Khali & Hornswoggle are a waste of roster space, both need to be released, i actually remember when Hornswoggle was revealed as the anonymous general manager, absolutely terrible,
Christian as Kaitlyn's secret admirer...... That would be far more interesting than Cody Rhodes

Lithium93_

Triple H is coming out in his wrestling gear, his match with Curtis Axel kicks off the show

Lithium93_

Vince is ringside, and gives Axel the victory by DQ, Triple H has the match restarted

TheBantam

Zzzzzz

Kerplunk124

Vince with the biggest grin on his face. he missed being a bad guy

Lithium93_

What the hell is Vince playing at????

Safe to say that'll be the highlight of Raw.

Insect Overlord

This is different!

An Iron Man match...... Zzzzzzz

J. Marston

Vince nearly took the head off Justin Roberts with the ring bell.

Lithium93_

Well that was an interesting way to kick off Monday Night Raw

Strongbow10

This angle has got something to do with the whole concussion debate.

WWE has funded the research of Chris Nowinski into the effect of concussions, to the tune of $1.2 million

So i'm presuming this is a grand angle to show that WWE "care" about their superstar's well being.

Sirsok

Hope this McMahon thing brings Shane o Mac back! Always good for a mad brawl or a testicle electrocution

Lithium93_

I think this whole Triple H concussion storyline will lead to something bigger, maybe along the lines of Stephanie threatening divorce if Hunter continues wrestling

Lithium93_

Kane beats Dean Ambrose by DQ, Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns run interference, Daniel Bryan & Randy Orton make the save

It's supposed to be his retirement angle. Dont know if it's true or not, but I've heard it since before his concussion was recieved.

Mick Murdock

Don't get the Roman Reigns hype.. He looks very bland and definitely not main event. Hasn't a hope of making it to the top. Ever!

Daniel Bryan seems like a genuinely great guy and a natural face. He has way more appeal to kids than Punk.

Cansee him overtaking Cena like Punk did, but more consistently.

Yes/No should be encouraged imo.

Kane is one of the greatest ever.

Hes only been on the main roster a couple of months and is still in his twentys.

I can personally see him going far.

riffmongous

God this recap is going on forever

J. Marston

This is painful.

takamichinoku

Cesaro vs Sin Cara, might Cesaro actually win?!?!?!

riffmongous

Is it just Colter out there or is Swagger there too?

Colter and Caesaro maybe?

Edit: Ok, Swagger injured

riffmongous

Pity the match ended so quickly, I was really enjoying the commentary

Kankan14

Great match

EDIT: Bryan rollins I mean not orton and roman

J. Marston

Shock horror, it's Big E.

QikBax

IT'S ME KAITLYN!! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG KAITLYN!!

J. Marston

Ha, I fell for it.

Strongbow10

Bah god AJ needs acting classes King

riffmongous

I was hoping for a bit of Big E character development, maybe a brief sign of regret backstage afterwards or something. He's pretty much back to just being a lackey again

far too soon to rush a face turn. they should let it build and build
