Last week we learned that Randy Orton would have to defend his WWE Championship for the third time against Chris Jericho at the Royal Rumble. This is Jericho's last shot at the title during Orton's current title reign, but if Orton purposely gets himself counted out or disqualified, Jericho will become the new WWE Champion. What will happen just 13 days between the Royal Rumble? These two are bound to meet somewhere on Raw, but what will break out?
Triple H was brutally assaulted by Shane McMahon last week, causing him to leave the arena in an ambulance. Triple H will have his chance for revenge when he faces off against Shane on Raw. Will Triple H be in any condition to compete after last week?
Paul London and Brian Kendrick knocked off Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch to capture the World Tag Team Championship. Will their reign as champs be cut short when Cade and Murdoch use their rematch clause on Raw?
Speaking of rematch clause, Beth Phoenix is cashing in hers on Raw as she will square off against Mickie James in hopes to reclaim the Women's Championship that she lost to Mickie at New Year's Revolution. Will the Glamazon win back the Women's Title?
In another New Year's Revolution Rematch, The Intercontinental Champion Mr. Kennedy will look to beat Bobby Lashley in a non-title match. Will Lashley defeat the Intercontinental Champion again, or was his previous win just a fluke?
Find out the answers to all of these questions in more by tuning into Monday Night Raw.

SCREWJOB OF EPIC PROPORTIONS
Last Thursday night, Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe once again faced eachother to decide who would face NWA World Champion, Christian Cage at Against All Odds. Cage himself had other plans though and as the match came to its conclusion, Cage came out to the ring and distracted Angle who was unaware the clock had counted down and ended both his, and Samoa Joe’s chances. After what has happened, Angle and Joe want retribution. That is why Jim Cornette has granted them their wish. This week on iMPACT, the two will team up to take on Christian Cage and his partner…Abyss!
Abyss himself has been full of controversy after his apparent attack on Sting last week. What could happen when four of the biggest and brightest stars in TNA collide this Thursday night?
X DIVISION SHOWCASE
You will get to see the very best of the X Division this Thursday night as TNA exclusively presents to you an X Division Showcase match! Not only this but added into the mix is the fact that it will be between two former tag team partners. Former Triple X members and Tag Team Champions will collide when Christopher Daniels and Senshi meet inside the six sided ring! These men know eachothers games inside out. Add in the fact that Daniels is intent on proving something to the X Division Champion, Chris Sabin then it is sure to be a blockbuster of a match for sure. Make sure you don’t miss a minute of the action on iMPACT; the most adrenaline fuelled 60 minutes on network TV!
TEAM 3D SPEAKS!
Twice in the last 10 days, Team 3D and the Latin American Exchange have attacked eachother and tried to prove they are the better team. LAX got the better of the exchanges at Final Resolution, and both teams came up level last week. Well we have been contacted by Brother Ray of Team 3D. According to him, he and his Brother will be in the iMPACT Zone this week and will speak out on a range of subjects, at the top of their agenda, their bitter rivals, the LAX. What will Team 3D have to say this week and will it lead to them getting what they desperately want: A rematch for the NWA World Tag team Championships? We are not sure right now, but there are destined to be answers to this question, and many more on iMPACT. What other reason do you need to tune in?!
Also on iMPACT;
More developments on the escalating situation between Rhino and AJ Styles, and former partners Alex Shelley and Austin Aries.

Tonight the Randy Orton era starts, what will he have to say that he is now the WWE Champion? Also will we find out who the new number one contender for the WWE Title is?

Make sure to tune into Monday Night Raw, this Monday live on the USA Network at 9/8 ET!
DID VINCE SCREW THE GAME?
It would be naïve to say that Mr. McMahon and Triple H have had their problems in the past, but it seems that it is more heated between them now than it ever has been. Hard to believe for sure, but it seems the Chairman of the Board is determined to keep the WWE Championship away from Triple H. For some reason, Mr. McMahon has consistently placed obstacles in The Game’s way over the last few weeks, and yet again, last week it was the King of Kings who came out on top after winning a handicap gauntlet match.
However, when it all looked to be going in his favour, Triple H missed out on facing Randy Orton for the WWE Championship last night at Cyber Sunday by 5%, according to his arch enemy. Mr. McMahon couldn’t wait to announce that fact to everyone inside the arena last night and especially Triple H. The question is, was it a fact, or was it just one more of Vince’s games? Triple H obviously thought so and went searching for him later on and told William Regal that he will be looking for answers tonight.
ORTON RETAINS THE GOLD
Randy Orton successfully retained his WWE Championship last night after overcoming an incredible effort from the fans favourite, CM Punk in what was a great match up. Punk came close to an upset on several occasions, but Orton pulled it out at the last to boost his own ego even further. Will we here from the champ tonight? With his ego, it would be strange if we didn’t!

KENNEDY LOSES. . . BUT IS HAPPY?!
In what was an amazing night, full of great matches and shocks, we had a combination of both as Jeff Hardy was one of all the defending champions to retain his title last night by overcoming Raw’s resident loudmouth, Mr. Kennedy in an unbelievable ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship. Both men had the fans on the edge of their seats all the way through, but ultimately it was Jeff who came out on top and with his title in hand. However, after the match, Kennedy revealed that he wasn’t disappointed as he lost in a ladder match not a wrestling match and that he has bigger fish to fry, the WWE Championship? Is he becoming a fantasist or does he mean business?
BATTLE ROYAL TO DETERMINE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER
After seeing Jeff’s victory last night, Elijah Burke & Santino Marella had an altercation, both claiming that they deserve to be the Intercontinental Champion. Not going unnoticed by Raw’s General Manager, William Regal has told WWE.com that there will be a Battle Royal this week to determine just who will become the number one contender at the Survivor Series. Burke & Marella will be joined in the action by several other Raw superstars including CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Carlito & John Morrison. Don’t rule out a Smackdown superstar joining the fray with the Open House rules in place!
CHAMPS RETAIN
Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch overcame three weeks of defeats to The Extremists, Tommy Dreamer & Stevie Richards by finally beating them last night in an ECW Rules match. The champions came through at last and showed that they are not going to lie down and lose their titles without one hell of a fight. Also, Beth Phoenix successfully defended the Womens Championship against an unlucky Mickie James. Mickie put up an incredible effort, but just fell short as Phoenix proved her worth by just pulling through. However, these two will go at it tonight in tag team action when Mickie is partnered by the former Womens Champion Candice Michelle and Victoria teams up with Beth Phoenix.
CONFIRMED FOR THIS WEEK
Intercontinental Championship Number One Contendership Battle Royal
Mickie James & Candice Michelle vs Beth Phoenix & Victoria

On the show he announced that TNA would be going live for 3 hours at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Insiders at TNA say that this has been planned for over 4 months but they were waiting on the right opportunity to make it public. We will have to see how it goes and we expect to see nearly all of the roster in the action packed show, which may have a few mistakes along the way.
- Also on iMPACT! we saw the interesting debut of Rob Van Dam, real name Robert Alexander Szatkowski. He debut as part of the James Mitchell 'movement' and so far has been a shock for fans. He left WWE as a big baby face and now is trying to show more of an intense side. Be expected to see a big promo cut by him on the next iMPACT which could be hit or miss.
- There has been rumblings around TNA that Christopher Daniels and Ron Killings are getting big pushes. As shown on Thursday we saw Ron Killings gain a main event spot for the next PPV, Against All Odds. And in the main event last Thursday we saw development of the Angle/Cage/Booker feud. We have not got conformation on this but we believe that Cage and Booker will be having a gimmick match at AAO and Angle will soon be moving into a feud with one of these various stars. AJ Styles, which would lead to a face turn for AJ. Samoa Joe, which we have seen many times before or being thrust into a big feud with Sting. Also Tomko is said to be happy with his current situation and is line for a singles push in the near future after turning on Angle and AJ for his friend Cage.
- Sting also announced that once he lost his TNA World Heavyweight Championship that he would retire for good. Which brings us to the conclusion that he will have a very long title run, maybe up to 6 months and go out in a Blaze of Glory. It is said that he would like to make a return after a lay off for TNA and make a big comeback.
- Also we have inside news that AMW; James Storm and Chris Harris are expected to have a few backstage alterations and team together at the 3 Hour Live Show.
- Last part of news is that TNA have announced on their website that this Thursday that in a semi final qualifier for the X Division shot at AAO, Petey Williams will take on 'Fallen Angel' Christopher Daniels and Kaz will take on the debuting D-Lo Brown.
I haven't really been fond of this thread becasue everyone posts things exactly the same as in their BTB previews wise, I think they should just say when a shows up or advertise an upcoming BTB, so I will use it in those two ways, lol!
Major Announcement GM Armando Estrada will make a huge announcement concerning the main event at the December to Dismember Pay-Per-View.
Balls Mahoney vs Shelton Benjamin A ECW Original vs a ECW newcomer. Will Balls show Shelton how it is in ECW? Or will Shelton show Balls how the new kids do it?
Elijah Burke vs Tommy Dreamer Elijah Burke will take on Tommy Dreamer tonight. This match will be sure to bring us some great action, but who will come out on top?
John Morrison vs???????? John Morrison looks to compete tonight, but against who?????
