Raw Preview 11.30.09

Last week's Raw saw host Jesse Ventura create a revolutionary new concept for the show and title picture when he introduced the "Breakthrough Battle Royal". A series of matches between superstars who had never held the WWE or World Heavyweight titles were booked, with the winners being entered into the main event Battle Royal. The winner of that would become the new #1 Contender for the title from their show. Despite Randy Orton finding a way to get himself into the tournament he was eliminated 2nd to last by Kofi Kingston. Kingston was quickly eliminated by the winner, Sheamus, who will now head to the TLC PPV to face John Cena for the WWE title. During their in-ring contract signing, Sheamus and Cena had words, with Sheamus demanding respect from the champ. Cena told him he better be ready for a war, but Sheamus promptly gave Cena a beatdown, ultimately slamming him through the table in the ring. It was announced right afterwords that their TLC match will in fact be a Tables match. How will Cena respond to last week's vicious attack from Sheamus, or will the Celtic Warrior continue to display his fierce nature on Raw?

Tonight's Raw guest host may lack size but he still will be large and in charge of the Monday night wrestling show. Verne Troyer, also known as "Mini Me" takes over hosting duties for WWE's Raw program. The popular character has also been a part of VH1's "Surreal Life" shows and was always looking to have fun or get crazy. Tonight he'll be a part of Raw as D-Generation X will step into "Little People's Court" to be sued by Hornswoggle. For weeks, Hornswoggle was campaigning to be a part of DX, with HHH and Michaels not having it. Finally two weeks ago on Raw at MSG, they invited the little guy into the ring and acted as if he would be included in the DX group. To Horney's surprise HHH kicked him, then delivered a Pedigree before DX carried him out on a mini green stretcher. That was the last Horney was heard from until last week's notice came from a small attorney on Raw. HHH and Michaels will now try to defend their actions in the Little People's Court, but will they be victorious, or will the court rule in Hornswoggle's favor?

And finally, last week also saw a surprise return from a diva dressed as a turkey. Disguised as the Gobbledygooker, former Divas champion Maryse blindsided Melina during an in-ring interview with Jerry Lawler. The attack was clearly premeditated by the diva who Michael Cole said left WWE due to being depressed over losing her divas title. Now that she's back, it appears Maryse wants her former title back. Will Melina grant her a title shot, or will Maryse need to earn it against other WWE divas from Raw?
