Raw Preview 02.23.09


Last week's episode of Raw saw the arrival to the show by its two new champions. One champion was there to gloat while another arrived to aid his fallen wife and Raw GM. Superstar Edge, the new World Heavyweight Champion, opened the show, proudly displaying his championship belt with wife Vickie Guerrero by his side. Once the two began embracing passionately in the ring, former champ John Cena decided to arrive and make his rematch demands. Edge immediately let Cena know where he could find him, over on Smackdown. Cena informed Edge that he does have a rematch clause and will exercise that right at some point, and will find Edge. Cena was all business as he put the new champ on notice, but what will be next for the former champion on Raw? Will Cena need to earn his rematch by defeating other stars, or will he be in preparation for a match at Wrestlemania 25?

The second champion to arrive on Raw was Triple H who is the brand new WWE Champion. Unfortunately, Hunter was not in the building to show off his new gold, but instead to rush in and save his wife Stephanie McMahon who was the victim of a Randy Orton RKO. On the latest episode of Smackdown, Triple H informed Jim Ross that Orton had crossed the line, meaning that Triple H will be coming after him. The serious and fuming look on The Game's face as Raw went off the air signaled that Orton will be in for some serious punishment when the two collide. Now with Shane McMahon receiving a punt kick to his head and Stephanie RKO'd, will there be any repercussions for Orton and Legacy? What will be next for the heels and who will be running the Raw show?

Shawn Michaels was all smiles as he arrived to the ring to confront his former boss, John Bradshaw Layfield in the ring. With a victory at No Way Out, Michaels secured all his earnings from JBL as well as his personal freedom, no longer having to do JBL's bidding on Raw or elsewhere. Before Michaels arrived to the ring, JBL began letting everyone know his intentions for Wrestlemania 25, to take out the Undertaker and his impressive undefeated streak. Michaels decided that he and JBL would need to fight each other once again, to decide who was the more worthy opponent for Undertaker at Wrestlemania 25. It's sure to be another tough battle between the self-proclaimed wrestling God and the Showstopper on Raw. Which of these two superstars will come out on top and earn the right to face the Phenom at Mania?

For all the action, drama and more catch Monday Night Raw at 9PM EST on USA!
