Raw Preview 03.02.09

Last week's Raw saw Triple H make his return to Raw as he attempted to hunt down Randy Orton and extract some less than sweet revenge. Wielding a Sledgehammer, Triple H made his way into the arena, with Randy Orton and his Legacy team accompanying him. The Legend Killer attempted to push the blame away from himself for injuring Vince McMahon, Shane and Stephanie during the past few months. Orton said each of them had become involved in volatile situations and pushed Orton to the brink of his aggression, due to his Intermittent Explosive Disorder. Triple H had heard enough, and after seeing Orton put his hands on his wife Stephanie, The Game took matters into his own hands. On Raw, HHH chased Orton, Rhodes and Dibiase around the ring and backstage with a Sledgeheammer. Hunter caused major damage as he smashed mirrors, doors and a car window, as Legacy managed to make their getaway. It's clear that this situation is far from over, with HHH still unable to get his hands on Orton. What will the next moves be as Raw goes live Monday night? Will Orton retaliate or stay in hiding as the Game pursues him like prey?

Also on the previous Raw, Shawn Michaels faced off against former employer JBL in a match to determine who would face The Undertaker at Wrestlemania 25. Due to the fact that Vickie Guerrero was acting GM in Stephanie McMahon's absence, she decided to go one more match. Her Smackdown star, Vladimir Kozlov, will face Shawn Michaesls tonight. The winner of that contest gets to face the Deadman at WM25 and attempt to break his undefeated streak. Kozlov showed up on Raw to level Shawn Michaels in the ring and triumphantly raise his arms up as a possible preview of the contest. Kozlov also is coming off a huge win on Smackdown against none other than his potential Mania opponent, Undertaker. The Showstopper is capable of pulling off some impressive victories, but is he capable of stopping Kozlov's show on Raw? Which of these two superstars will prevail?

Chris Jericho continues to cross the line on Raw, as he denounces WWE Legends. Jericho's latest target was Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat, who was announced as a recent inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame. Jericho again badmouthed Steamboat and other "has-beens" as trying to do anything they could to steal the spotlight now that they aren't wrestling. Steamboat retorted by reminding Jericho of an autograph signing he attended years ago, and how he signed an autograph for a young Jericho. In addition, Steamboat told Jericho to remember how he called him an idol in his book release. Jericho was further enraged by the comments and ended up clocking Steamboat in the head with a microphone. With Steamboat leveled on the ramp, Jericho screamed at the legend before heading backstage. Now Jericho has insulted several former greats including Ric Flair, Roddy Piper, and Ricky Steamboat. Will another legend make an appearance on Raw to confront Jericho, or will Jericho continue running off at the mouth?
