Raw Preview 03.01.10

Tonight's episode of Raw will feature the return of Bret Hart to the show, since his unfortunate injury on Raw several weeks ago. During that time, Bret had come out to inform the WWE Universe that he was no longer pursuing a match against Vince McMahon and was going to say farewell. He was thanked and given respect by various WWE superstars on his way to the parking garage, where Bret got into a waiting limo. As Cena left, a loud commotion was heard and next thing seen was an unknown female had backed her car into the back of the limo, smashing into Bret's leg. It was later announced that Bret had a broken leg along with ligament and tendon damage. Vince McMahon later appeared on camera to offer Bret the chance to come back to Raw for a proper farewell. Vince even said he'd arrange ambulance transportation and a wheelchair for The Hitman. Are Vince McMahon's intentions sincere or will he further humiliate Bret? What will Bret have to say regarding everything?

The situation involving John Cena and Batista has also become even more heated as they head down the road to Wrestlemania 26. Last week, Cena stormed to the ring and angrily demanded a rematch with Batista for the WWE Title he held for just a few minutes at the Elimination Chamber PPV. Vince McMahon said Batista would not be defending the title tonight, and that he wouldn't again until Wrestlemania. However, Vince offered Cena the opportunity to fight Batista in a non-title match, so he could earn his WWE title match at Wrestlemania. Cena was ready to fight, but The Animal kept ducking out of the ring to avoid him. Ultimately, Batista kicked Cena in the groin and caused a DQ, giving Cena the win. After that, The Animal added further insult to injury by beating up Cena around the ring, then smashing him repeatedly outside the ring with a steel chair. Will Cena respond to the latest attack from The Animal on Raw, or will he not be in condition to appear?

And finally, there's plenty more Wrestlemania matches to be determined as we travel down the road to the WWE's biggest Pay-Per-View of the year. One match which needs more competitors will be the 2010 Money in the Bank Ladder match. So far, matches have been held on Smackdown and Raw to qualify wrestlers for the MITB match. Christian, Kane, Dolph Ziggler and Shelton Benjamin have all qualified so far. With four spots left, who will fight next for a spot in the Mania ladder match? Also, what other matches will develop as we head down the road to Wrestlemania?
