Not gonna happen, matt. Jericho will be back with the WWE.

Raw Preview for 8/29

After a week where one RAW Superstar got fired, two more were traded to SmackDown! and the 2005 RAW Diva Search winner Ashley was brutally welcomed to RAW by its two newest Divas Torrie and Candice, nothing seems like a safe bet on RAW.

The only sure thing is that Kurt Angle is the new No. 1 Contender to John Cenas WWE Championship. After Cena defeated Chris Jericho to get him fired last week, Angle attacked the WWE Champion and left him lying in the ring. Will The Champ have revenge in mind when RAW heads to Tampa, Florida?

While that develops, the rivalry between Matt Hardy and Edge continues to intensify. Edge attacked Hardy after his match with Rob Conway last week, leaving Matt bloodied after an attack involving the steel ring steps. Will these two clash again tonight?

Fresh off a four-person trade that brought them to RAW, Candice Michelle and Torrie Wilson welcomed Diva Search winner Ashley to RAW with a vicious attack. How will the newest WWE Diva rebound from her first taste of RAW?

Also last week, Shawn Michaels got the best of Chris Masters when The Masterpiece interrupted Shawns speech in the ring. Tonight, HBK will attempt to be the first man to break Masters vicious full nelson when he takes part in the Master Lock Challenge. Can Michaels get the job done, or will The Masterpiece add HBK to his list of victims?

Mr. McMahon made a shocking announcement on RAW last week as he set up a WWE Championship match for WWE Homecoming on Oct. 3. After Angle defeated Cena by disqualification at Unforgiven, he thought he would be the logical choice, but the Chairman threw Angle and Bischoff a curveball and announced that Cena would go one on one with the General Manager himself. Bischoff tried his best to get out of the match, but to no avail. He has tried to stack the odds against Cena in the past, will Bischoff have something up his sleeve for RAW this Monday? Whatever he does, he better keep in mind that Mr. McMahon will be on RAW this monday, as well.

Plus, after defeating Carlito for the second straight night and retaining his new Intercontinental Championship, Ric Flair was blind-sided by The Masterpiece Chris Masters while tussling with Carlito. Masters left him laying and Carlito added insult to injury by spitting apple chunks into his face. How will the Dirtiest Player in the Game react to the complete lack of respect?

And Matt Hardy will face Edge in a Loser Leaves RAW Money in the Bank Ladder Match in two weeks. Will the two bitter enemies try to one up each other to gain an advantage heading into the biggest match of their careers?

Tune in to RAW Monday night at 9pm et/8 pm on Spike TV for all this and more

Official RAW Preview for 10/17 from WWE.com

Mr. McMahon promised that someone would pay for Stone Cold’s actions at WWE Homecoming, but he never officially fired anyone. Instead, WWE CEO Linda McMahon shocked the world when she fired Good Ol’ J.R., Jim Ross, from the RAW announce team and delivered a humiliating low blow as her and her family celebrated in the middle of the ring. J.R. has been the voice of RAW for years, so what will RAW sound like without the proud Oklahoman?

Plus, it seems like everyone is gunning for John Cena’s WWE Championship. Last week Big Show, Shawn Michaels, Edge, Carlito and Kurt Angle all said that they should be the new No. 1 contender. All six were involved in a monster six-man tag match last week on RAW that saw Kurt Angle pin John Cena. Will a clear-cut No. 1 contender emerge on RAW this week?

Also, Triple H revealed that he beat Ric Flair to a bloody pulp at WWE Homecoming because he couldn’t bear to sit back and watch anyone spit in the face of Flair’s legacy. The Game said that he was the one that made Ric Flair great again, but that was over now. He said that Flair is no longer the Dirtiest Player in the Game, and in fact, the game was over for Flair. Will Flair be able to respond to Triple H’s comments this week on RAW?

And this Monday will also mark the return of the Big Red Monster, Kane. We haven’t seen or heard from Kane in months. How will the big man make an impact? Plus, Mick Foley will be the guest on Carlito’s Cabana. The Hardcore Legend has been silent since SmackDown’s Randy Orton hit him with an RKO at WWE Homecoming, so Foley will surely have a lot to say.

Don’t miss all this and more this week on RAW at 9pm et, 8pm ct on the USA Network.

The Day Before Taboo Tuesday
October 31, 2005


When RAW ended last week, John Cena was grasping his ankle in excruciating pain. He had just lost a controversial decision to Kurt Angle with General Manger Eric Bischoff inserting himself as referee. Just when it seemed things couldnt get much worse, Bischoff announced that Cena would have to face Shawn Michaels on the next Monday Night RAW regardless of his condition.

So, this week on RAW, HBK will get another crucial chance to make his Taboo Tuesday case before the voting public. The Showstopper won last weeks Triple Threat Match against Kane and Big Show. Now, Michaels will get to impress against the WWE Champion himself. Will Michaels be able to take advantage of Cenas potentially weakened state, or will it be an FU to HBK?

On consecutive broadcasts, RAW Superstars invaded SmackDown and then Friday Nights Superstars returned the favor. Will there be more inter-brand confrontations leading up to the SmackDown selection match at Taboo Tuesday?

Also, Ric Flair and Triple H seem unwilling to wait until Nov. 1 to settle their differences. Will they tangle again on RAW this week?

And Eric Bischoff is sure to feature Superstars and matches relevant to the ongoing Taboo Tuesday voting. What will the GM do, and how will you cast you votes? Be sure to cast your votes now, and tune in to RAW 9pm et, 8p ct on the USA Network for this and more.

He wanted to find two more, and all the wrestlers wanted in.

Gregory Helms said he wanted a match with Rosey, which Bischoff made. Bischoff then called Edge and Lita into the ring. He was angry at Edge for saying he doesnt care about Raw. All the wrestlers were angry, which was pretty stupid given they were randomly thrown together six months ago by random draw. Its not like they are a team either; they are rivals for the same spots.

They sung goodbye to Edge, and said he wont be back until he gets the job done.

He threw Roseys head into the turnbuckle but Rosey came back again and went for the moonsault. Helms kicked him off the ropes and hit a beautiful shining wizard for the clean pin.

Angle for some reason was angry at the disrespectful reception coming out, and at the people saying he sucks. He wanted a do-over, and of course again the fans chanted you suck again. He said he would come out again and if he got the same reaction, there would be no main event. He got the same reaction again and criticized the crowd for not representing Middle America family values. Angle said they abused the first amendment. Angle talked about losing his family for the business and the wrestling fans, and they arent appreciative. He said he was leaving and they could go to hell.

Backstage, Eric Bischoff tried to talk Angle out of it. Angle said he would wrestle in the main event, but he had two demands: he wanted the fans to stop chanting you suck at him and he wanted a special referee in the main event.

Conway jumped him from behind and slapped Flair, but Flair applied the testicular claw. He hit some more chops, and an ax handle off the top on Conway. He applied the figure four and Conway tapped right as HHH arrived at ringside. HHH started choking Flair with a chain, and they got into another brawl.

Backstage, Lita tried to talk Bischoff out of sending Edge to Smackdown. Bischoff wasnt having it, so Lita supposedly bore her breasts and offered Bischoff s*x. Bischoff turned her down.

Kurt Angle and Chris Masters beat Shawn Michaels and John Cena via disqualification. When Angle came out, the you suck chants were beeped out on television. This seemed to please Angle. Why, I again have no idea given the fans were being just as disrespectful, and he could still hear them. But in any event he was very pleased, and Daivari came out as the special referee. The heels first beat down Cena, who came back with an arm drag and suplex and tagged Michaels. Michaels used a knee lift but Masters executed a body slam and took over with a bear hug.

Cena and Angle brawled, but Daivari hit Cena in the back with a chair and raised Angles hand to end the show.
