Tonight’s WWE RAW will take place from the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island, New York. Tonight’s special guest host will be former NFL star and current TV host Michael Strahan.
No matches have been announced for tonight but WWE is focusing on the following points:
* What “must see” TV will Michael Strahan have in store for RAW?
* What motivated John Cena to interrupt Randy Orton at Survivor Series?
* Who will Mark Henry go after?
* WWE 2K14 footage of The Rock and his greatest WrestleMania, as voted by fans, will air
* Will CM Punk & Daniel Bryan clash with The Wyatt Family again?

Wow, that'll get millions to tune in.

A title unification match, ideally.

Would love if the WWE Title was re-purposed as a Junior Heavyweight title, á la New Japan. You could have the likes of Punk, Bryan, Rhodes, Sandow, Ziggler, Mysterio, etc. all going for the WWE title while the likes of Cena, Orton, Big Show, Mark Henry, Kane, etc. all going for the World Heavyweight title. I think that it'd finally make sense of having two top titles. Plus if the likes of Punk or Bryan were to win the big gold belt, it would seem all the more impressive.

I would a love a Cena v Orton TLC match, they always have great stipulation matches

Surely it would end up the other way around? Cena's would be the Jr. Heavyweight rather than Orton's.

Which midcarder is jobbing to the aggressive ADR tonight?

Well, the Big Gold Belt is already known as the World Heavyweight Championship, but TBH, either would work.

Good call, Kofi has been fed to him not to long ago. Ziggler's stock is quite low at the moment so he could be the chosen one.

Hope they keep Big E away from him, but knowing how they book midcard champions he may be in the armbar of doom later.

Santino is another runner as well.

Can't wait!:P

But the WWE title is always presented as being the top prize. Cole said it last night. The most prestigious title in wrestling (think he said Sports Entertainment but whatever).

cena

John cena was on Micheal strahan and kelly ripas morning show this morning. I love that show. I would expect raw to get a good rating tonight

Why not just show the match instead of a replay on a game?

Annoying thing is that Cena was able to lift ADR but a power lifter like Big E probably can't

Anyone on Virgin TiVo, my series link wasn't set this week for some reason so check yours!

I hope not. It would be a shame for the WWE to get rid of the big gold belt unless they pull a Jericho, than I might be okay with it. It would be much better to get rid of the US championship, no history, compared to the other three, and the belt is ugly.

Ah now, that's just not true. It has as long of a history as the IC belt, just not with the WWE. Plus the WWE had to reactivate (after retiring) it because of public outcry. People in the U.S. value it.

SirDelboy18

"Daniel Bryan" and "Yes!" all through this segment.

They know what's up.

J. Marston

Crowd don't really care about this. "Daniel Bryan" and "Yes!" chants drowning Trips, Steph and Orton out.

J. Marston

Cena (Well, creative) piggybacking on Bryan's popularity for some pops.

gnfnrhead

Once again WWE's creative team was proved right by dumping Bryan with the Wyatts. Nobody wants him :pac:

LOL'd when he did that.

J. Marston

:pac: at the Crowd booing the TLC set-up. Did they think they were going to get a title unification match tonight?

Cena v Orton in a TLC match at TLC. I really Like the sound of it. But i bet Cena wins.

SirDelboy18

Seen these two do this enough times. Don't need to see either of these fight each other. In addition, what's a seriously banged up Cena going to do in a TLC? He is taking no bumps since coming back.

No way they unify at TLC - so there's a screwy finish or they both get their own belt back.

Just another way to waste time until they get to Royal Rumble.

If they're smart he'll lose so he's free for Taker at WM30.

A belt each?

Cant see them doing a unification at a random PPV.

The US title is worthless now. However good bye Big Gold Belt and would the IC get a money in the bank match.

I mean i bet Cena wins that match, and unifies the title and because the "overall champion".

Shame really as i would prefer some one like Byran or Orton to do it.

Yes, and what he is saying that there is no way they actually unify the titles in this match. Because it is a random B PPV in the middle of December. So more likely they both get their own belt back

If a unification match was actually going through it would main event WM.

I dont think they will have a unified champion afterwards. Makes no sense only a few months before Wrestlemania.

gnfnrhead

Rey Mysterio on Raw for the first time since February...... think you mean last week Michael?

Get you's Now lads. Sorry misunderstood you's. But you's are both right. Maybe a Wrestlemania event then.

andyman

Then what happens with the Royal Rumble winner?

SirDelboy18

Only way they actually unify is if Cena v Taker is happening at WM30. Even still, it's not like them to waste such a big promotional opportunity on a B-PPV. Then they give it to Orton and have him feud with presumably either Bryan or Punk into WM with the other going against HHH.

Still be be completely shocked if they wasted it on TLC rather than something like Wrestlemania. Makes no sense "for business".

Jester252

Oh what a heel

SirDelboy18

Miz just broke kayfabe then. What a daredevil.

gnfnrhead

This is awful.

SirDelboy18

No! We don't want fun!

Just end the fúcking segment please!

Jester252

Jericho became the undisputed world champion at Vengeance 2001 so its possible that there could be a new undisputed champion at TLC

SirDelboy18

Oh god. Oh god!

Michael!

Oh god!

rovert

bigron2109

This lad is shocking....

IanMc666

Hope Mark Henry comes out and cross bodies the lot of them.

gnfnrhead

Pushing 10 minutes now....

SirDelboy18

What is a double team tag team match?

J. Marston

End this now.

gnfnrhead

Isnt Miz a heel? What the hell is this?

Hematocyte

Roddy Piper was right. Stuff like this hurts the business.

Professional Griefer

That was disgracefully bad.

gnfnrhead

10 minutes to announce one match...

Jester252

JBL face when he said the family guy spoiler, I think I might bow out tonight just isn't the night.
