Raw Preview 09.15.08

Tonight's Raw will feature an explosive main event as the World Heavyweight title will be on the line. The recent champion, Chris Jericho, won the title due to CM Punk's concussion suffered at Unforgiven. Jericho was a last minute replacement for the Championship Scramble and managed to take advantage of a golden opportunity, winning the belt by scoring the final pinfall. Since Punk was unable to defend his title, he has now been given a rematch opportunity on Raw. Punk and Jericho will lock up inside a steel cage with the World Heavyweight title on the line. Which superstar will prevail? Will there be any outside interference, or will the cage keep outsiders away from the match?

Punk received his concussion due to the attack suffered backstage at Unforgiven. Behind the attack were Ted Dibiase, Cody Rhodes and Manu, as they attacked Punk right after Orton slapped him in the face. Orton claimed responsibility for taking Punk out, but the new three-man alliance of second-generation superstars had a bone to pick over that. Orton ended up slapping Ted Dibiase in the ring on last week's Raw, prompting a heated moment. It appeared all 4 men might have been headed towards a stronger alliance of 2nd generation stars. What will Dibiase, Rhodes and Manu's response be to Orton's actions? Will the 4 men be able to get along?

Finally, the WWE Divas of Raw have a familiar face back in the picture. More specifically, Beth Phoenix the Glamazon has a new #1 contender for the Women's title. That diva is Candice Michelle, who has finally returned from injury. Her injury was a broken clavicle suffered during her match against Beth Phoenix. Now Candice will head into Unforgiven and have a shot to regain the title Beth took from her. How will these divas prepare mentally for their future fight? Will Beth continue to dominate her diva opponents, or will she be distracted by Candice?
