Raw Preview 03.23.09
Last week on Raw, the Legend Killer Randy Orton saw one of his own Legacy members brutally assaulted and defeated by Triple H in the ring. Originally, the match was set as Triple H and Cody Rhodes to face off in the ring, but to the horror of Ted Dibiase and Randy Orton, a steel cage lowered down around the ring, trapping their Legacy member inside with The Game. From there, Triple H taunted Orton, showed his power and vengeance with a sledgehammer, and eventually Pedigreed Rhodes to collect an easy pinfall victory. With Orton and Dibiase only able to watch, you have to wonder what sort of revenge they will now have in store for Triple H. Will Orton and Legacy find a way to gain the upperhand on Triple H? Or will The Game once again use the power of being married to GM Stephanie McMahon to his advantage?
Raw also several new matches added to the Wrestlemania 25 card. The WWE Universe finally learned just who Chris Jericho will be facing in the ring at the big event. Jericho had called Ric Flair to come to the ring, and return from retirement to wrestle him. Flair was diplomatic in telling Jericho he knows he'd defeat him any day, but his retirement is official. Flair then brought out 3 legends who wanted to settle the score with Jericho. These wrestlers were of course the 3 legends that Jericho had insulted and attacked in the weeks prior, Ricky Steamboat, Roddy Piper, and Superfly Jimmy Snuka. The 3 men along with Flair headed straight down to the ring, all business, as they entered and surrounded Jericho. Steamboat, Snuka and Piper managed to trip down Jericho, but he quickly escaped the ring. However, waiting on the outside was Ric Flair who promptly delivered a punch to level Jericho. Jericho stumbled back up the ramp fuming from the attack, and later backstage said he was challenging Piper, Snuka and Steamboat to a 3 on 1 Handicap match at Wrestlemania 25. Fans learned that not only will Ric Flair be ringside for that match, but actor Mickey Rourke will be in attendance as well. What will the legends or Jericho have to say next with regards to their matchup? Will WWE fans hear any more from Mickey Rourke leading up to this match?
Two other Raw competitors who will be facing off at Wrestlemania are the recent Intercontinental Champion, JBL, and little big man, Rey Mysterio. These two have done battle in the past on Smackdown, but never for a prize such as the Intercontinental Title. Rey Mysterio was close to achieving the title for the first time in his career during Raw's IC tournament, but ended up losing. Now as of last week, Mysterio has challenged the self-proclaimed "Wrestling God" to a match for the gold at the historic 25th Wrestlemania. JBL has stated he plans to make history at the event. How will these two superstars prepare for their upcoming title match? Will one superstar have the upperhand heading into the event?
With Wrestlemania 25 just 2 weeks away, the WWE divas and superstars will be preparing themselves on Raw. Catch all the action tonight at 9PM EST on USA!
