Raw Preview 03/21/11 - Wrestlemania 27 Countdown Continues

As Jim Ross might say, "business is pickin' up" prior to Wrestlemania which is less than two weeks away! There's plenty of feuds and superstars looking to build momentum ahead of the big event. That includes John Cena and The Miz, both of whom will be competing on the grandest stage of them all. After last week's attack from The Miz on John Cena, it seems Miz really does have Cena's number. Meanwhile, both Cena and Miz are trying to trash talk the Rock, who will be the guest host of WM27. What will be next in the war of words and will Cena ever get his hands on Miz prior to their match?

Also looking to get his hands on his opponent is The Viper, Randy Orton. Orton has been picking off members of Nexus each week and has now eliminated all of CM Punk's henchmen. That leaves just Punk for their one-on-one match at the big Pay-Per-View. Last week on Raw, Orton delivered the final Punt Kick to knock Mason Ryan out of action. From there, Orton dropped to the mat to stare Punk in his face with fury in his eyes. Punk saw the look and it was enough to drive him off. However, fans have to wonder if CM Punk has another plan in mind with two Raws before Wrestlemania.

Finally, last week saw Michael Cole once again get the best of Jerry Lawler. Cole had the help of Jack Swagger once again, but this time they also made former commentator, Jim Ross, a victim. Swagger ordered Cole to put the Ankle lock on JR, while Jack did one on Lawler. It seems as if Cole is being trained to be one vicious in-ring competitor. Will Jerry "The King" Lawler be present for tonight's Raw? If So, what will go down next between these future opponents?
