Raw Preview 07.27.09
Tonight's episode of WWE Raw comes one night after last night's big Pay-Per-View (Night of Champions results). Not only that, but it will have its biggest guest host to date, when the NBA All-Star center, Shaquille O'Neal stops by to run the show! Shaq will be large and in charge, ready to make all sorts of crazy decisions. He's no stranger to the WWE world either, as he's been seen in the crowd clowning around at Raw and other events before. He was even involved in a backstage altercation with Carlito during one event. What sorts of surprises will Shaq have in store for the WWE Universe when he fills in as the special guest host?
Last night's Night of Champions PPV featured a Triple Threat match to decide the WWE Title. Involved in this re-match from Wrestlemania 2 years ago were Triple H, John Cena and Champion Randy Orton. Orton fell victim to a double submission hold in the match, with HHH putting a sharpshooter on him and Cena locking in the STF as well. Orton clearly tapped out, but a confused referee didn't call for the bell. From there, Legacy saved Orton, who eventually was able to hit the RKO on John Cena for the win. Orton will retain his title as Raw opens, but will the decision be reviewed? What will HHH and Cena have to say about the outcome of last night's match?
Kofi Kingston successfully defended his US Title in a battle with 5 other Raw superstars. Jack Swagger, MVP, The Miz, Carlito and Primo all tangled for the right to wear the United States belt. In the end, Kofi hit Trouble in Paradise on Carlito to collect the win. Missing from the match was Big Show, who joined Chris Jericho earlier in the night to defend the Unified Tag Team Titles. Since Jericho is part of Smackdown, and Show is on Raw, what will this mean for Big Show's spot on the Raw roster?
The sole new championship winner from Raw at Night of Champions was WWE Diva Mickie James. Mickie successfully was able to prevent Maryse from using her spray can on her, and eventually hit a DDT to plant Maryse into the mat. Mickie now becomes the second ever diva to have won both the Womens title and Divas championship. Will Maryse invoke her rematch clause on Raw tonight? Or will Mickie have a new challenger to worry about?
