Raw Preview 12.28.09

Tonight's episode of Monday Night Raw in Hartford, Connecticut will feature a bigtime championship match for the last WWE Raw of 2009. It'll be an all-out war as John Cena gets his rematch with the brand new WWE Champion, Sheamus, inside the squared circle. This time it'll be a regular one-on-one contest, with no extra stipulations and no tables to crash through. Sheamus will have to prove he's as tough as he claims to be when he puts up the WWE Title. A hungry John Cena will look to regain the title as we head into 2010. Cena's overcome big odds before, but can he overcome the fierce nature of the Celtic Warrior? Can Sheamus back up all his talk as a powerful WWE champion, and end Cena's chances at reclaiming the gold?

Last week was definitely an up and down roller coaster ride for the Unified Tag team champions, D-Generation X. They were riding high as the recently crowned champs coming out of TLC after defeating JeriShow on a quick rematch, only to find themselves taken to "Little People's Court" by Hornswoggle. In the "under the ring" court, they were found guilty of their crimes for assaulting the little guy in the ring and backstage. Due to all of this, DX decided to get into the holiday spirit and welcomed Hornswoggle as their official DX mascot. They enlisted his services to close out the Christmas edition of WWE Raw, and then did the same on Christmas night's Smackdown show after a hard fought title defense against The Hart Dynasty. It appears things are going Shawn Michaels' and Triple H's way as they head towards 2010. Who will be the next pair of challengers to try to dethrone the tag champs?

Tonight's final Raw of 2009 will be hosted by rapper/producer, Timbaland. Timbaland's worked with plenty of big names in the music industry, including former Raw guest host, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z and many more. He's also a big fan of World Wrestling Entertainment, and recruited several WWE divas to appear in his music video a few years ago. Timbaland's been seen backstage before at WWE events or in the crowd, but has never actually hosted the show. He is hosting the show with a brand new album out, Shock Value II ($5.00 MP3 album), which features the hottest artists including Miley Cyrus, Jet, Katy Perry and Drake. But will Timbaland shock the WWE Universe? What sorts of craziness will the music producer and WWE fanatic have in store for Raw as the superstars look to close out 2009 with a bang?
