Raw Preview 01.05.09


Last week saw an interesting ending to WWE Raw with JBL ordering his employee Shawn Michaels to simply lay down for the pinfall. Michaels just couldn't bring himself to lose like that, and instead allowed JBL to level him with a vicious clothesline. JBL took the pin in the Fatal Fourway matchup, and now becomes the #1 Contender for John Cena's World Heavyweight title at the Royal Rumble. Michaels was close to a title shot, if not for the orders of his employer. Now the businessman JBL prepares to face John Cena, a foe he's quite familiar with. What will JBL have to say regarding Cena and Shawn Michaels? How will Cena and Michaels react?

Last week's Fatal Fourway saw Chris Jericho and Randy Orton both eliminated from #1 Contender status. Orton has aligned himself with Team Priceless and formed a stable known as "Legacy". On last week's show he informed Manu, Cody Rhodes and Sim Snuka they would need to win their singles matches to be included in the group. Snuka and Rhodes managed to get wins over their opponents, but Manu lost his match to Matt Hardy. What will Orton have to say to Manu regarding his consideration for the team? Also, it was revealed that Kelly Kelly's mystery lover was Randy Orton. Orton told Kelly it was a one time thing and he didn't have time to deal with her. Kane is of course hellbent on finding that individual to take out his frustrations. Will Kane target Orton on Raw? Will Kelly align herself with either superstar? What will Raw's WWE divas have to say regarding Kelly's hookup?

Tonight's Raw will also feature the Intercontinental title on the line as CM Punk has earned a shot at King Regal's title. Regal will be accompanied by his girlfriend WWE Diva Layla and will attempt to successfully defend the title he's held for weeks now. Punk looks to get his New Year off to a great start by winning a title he's never held before, adding to his already impressive resume. Will Punk be able to overcome Regal as well as the distractions from his ringside valet, Layla? Or will Regal start of 2009 with a successful win to continue his reign?

The 2009 Royal Rumble is just a few weeks away! Which superstars from Raw be named to the match? Catch all the action of Raw at 9PM EST on USA!
