Raw Preview 06.15.09

Tonight's episode of Raw will be the special 3 hour "3-for-All" and is set to include WWE Superstars from each of the three brands. Smackdown, ECW and of course Raw wrestlers will all be involved in various matches throughout the night. In addition, each of the major titles, the WWE, ECW and World Heavyweight Titles will all be on the line in different matchups. Tommy Dreamer will attempt to make his first successful ECW title defense, as Christian has his rematch on Raw. In the past when these two have fought over the title, Jack Swagger has always shown up to spoil the match. Will Swagger become involved once again, or will these two competitors finally get a full match in the books?

As for the World Heavyweight Title, it will be CM Punk defending against Edge. Edge recently defeated Jeff Hardy on Smackdown, but only due to DQ after Punk got involved. Punk's intentions have been questionable since he won the title at Extreme Rules, by cashing in his Money in the Bank briefcase right after Jeff Hardy had just won the title in a tough ladder match. On the latest episode of Smackdown, Punk ended the show by laying out both Edge and Jeff Hardy. Will Punk be able to successfully defend his title against Edge on Raw? Or will the Ultimate Opportunist find another way to win?

As for Raw, last week saw several shocking incidents. In the opening segment, Batista came to the ring to celebrate his WWE title reign with the fans. Unfortunately, Randy Orton arrived and together with Legacy they ambushed the Animal. The 3 men overpowered him and began to repeatedly go after his left arm, until they finally snapped it. Batista was forced to leave the arena via ambulance, and later in the show was given a rematch against Batista. If the Animal failed to answer the ref's 10 count to get to the ring for the match, Orton would win the WWE title by forfeit. With Batista out of commission, it looked like Orton's plan of attack would indeed win his WWE title back. Unfortunately for Orton, Raw saw the surprise return of HHH who arrived to take out each member of Legacy 1-by-1. Since the WWE title was never contested, it is still vacated and now Raw will see a Fatal Fourway to decide it. HHH, Orton, John Cena & Big Show will do battle, with the winner becoming the new champ. Who will leave Raw as the brand new WWE Champion?

And last but not least, Raw saw the resignation of yet another Raw General Manager, as Vickie Guerrero gave her notice to the WWE Universe last week. How will Raw operate with nobody in charge? Will a new GM be introduced?
