Raw Preview 04.26.10


Tonight's special episode of Monday Night Raw could see the rosters of Raw and Smackdown shaken up completely as the 2010 WWE Draft is held. In years past, there's been some monumental moves including just last year when wrestlers including MVP and The Miz were brought over to Raw, while Rey Mysterio and CM Punk headed to Smackdown. During last year's special 3-hour draft show, wrestlers from the brands competed with the winning wrestler's brand getting the next draft pick. Who will win in the 2010 WWE Draft? Will any of the major title holders be moved onto new shows?

The draft is taking place just one night after WWE's Extreme Rules Pay-Per-View was held. It featured several of the current Raw roster members in matches with extreme stipulations or rules including Randy Orton coming up short against Jack Swagger for the World Heavyweight title. John Cena successfully defended his WWE Title against The Animal Batista in the Last Man Standing match. In the Street Fight match, Sheamus started attacking Triple H at the start of the PPV then despite The Game's best efforts to retaliate during their official match, he couldn't withstand The Celtic Warrior. Triple H ended up losing and was eventually taken away via stretcher. Will we see or hear from Triple H on Raw? What's next for Sheamus after this dominant victory?

Last night's event also saw the current Unified Tag Team champions ShowMiz put into a three tag-team Gauntlet match. In the first part of the match, they were able to win against R-Truth and John Morrison, but due to referee's decision when Morrison refused to break a submission hold on Big Show. In match 2, they faced Mark Henry & MVP, with Big Show landing a sneaky KO punch on the Ballin' Superstar, allowing Miz to get the pinfall. However, Miz had already been knocked down by the Playmaker from MVP, and tag team three was announced. The Hart Dynasty arrived to the ring along with the legendary Bret Hart. The Dynasty was able to beat ShowMiz within just 10 seconds time after using the Hart Attack to pin Miz. Miz has claimed that Bret Hart must proclaim ShowMiz "the greatest tag team of all time." Will The Hitman go through with the requirement, or will he have different words in mind for ShowMiz?

Watch tonight's special 3-hour episode of Raw featuring the 2010 WWE Draft at its special start time of 8PM EST on USA!
