Raw Preview 04/18/11


Last week's Raw saw the surprise announcement from the Rated-R Superstar Edge. Tonight's show will feature followup to last week's other major events including the new #1 contenders for the WWE Championship. Those contenders, R-Truth and John Cena, were decided in a five-man gauntlet match. Due to The Miz interfering in the final moments of the match, the Raw GM said both men will face Miz at Extreme Rules PPV. While Cena and Truth seemed friendly after the announcement, a bit of shoving started. Will Cena and Truth be at odds on tonight's show?

Last week also saw Jerry Lawler face Jack Swagger in an important match. Lawler was able to win thanks to help from Jim Ross at ringside, who fought off Michael Cole. With the win, Lawler was able to decide on a stipulation for his rematch against Michael Cole at Extreme Rules. Lawler chose a tag team match, just moments after he saw Cole slap Swagger. Swagger was livid with Cole, leading to Lawler's clever idea to make them tag partners. Jim Ross will team with Lawler at the PPV, but what will go down next between Cole and Lawler on Raw?

Finally, the past episode of Raw also saw a brand new champion crowned in the ring. Brie Bella went up against Eve Torres for the Divas Championship. Before the match, Eve had the referee put a black X on Nikki's hand with a magic marker. This was to make sure there was no "Twin magic" trickery going on. The Bellas still went for the switch, but Eve and the ref were able to prevent it. However, that distraction allowed Brie to grab Eve and hit a finisher on her for the big victory. This marks Brie's first reign as Divas Champion. Will Eve invoke her rematch clause on tonight's Raw? Will anyone be able to prevent the Bellas from using their tricks to keep winning?

Catch Monday Night Raw tonight at 9PM EST on USA!
