RAW will emulate from Cincinnati; Ohio for the blockbuster edition, the 15th Anniversary Special. Celebrating 15 years of RAW, this show will be a 3 hour broadcast featuring a buffer selection of matches and appearances from former WWE superstars
In a change made to the original main event which was Chris Jericho & Batista vs Randy Orton & Edge, now has been made into a big 8 Man Tag Match. It will now be Jericho, Batista, Triple H & Ric Flair vs Orton, Edge, Umaga & Chuck Palumbo. With all of the disputes between these eight men, what can we expect from a huge main event
Santino Marella has been after an apology from Stone Cold Steve Austin ever since The Rattlesnake drenched the Milan Miracle in beer on RAW a few weeks ago. Marella has been unsuccessful in his demands for Austin to show up, until now where he now surely has Stone Cold's attention as Marella has managed to get a singles match with Jim Ross! Santino says he will take his frustrations out on JR if Austin doesn't show up with an apology for Santino
Also SmackDown! will provide one other match on the card as Matt Hardy and Montel Vontavious Porter will go one on one for the United States Championship in a Street Fight. The two have been at each other ever since MVP turned on Hardy weeks ago and cost the duo the Tag Team Championships, there is sure to be fireworks in this one
In a preview for Armageddon, we will see Rob Van Dam team with AJ Styles and Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy to face the team of Mr. Kennedy, Carlito & Christian in a Six Man Tag Match. With RVD/Kennedy, Styles/Carlito & Hardy/Christian already set for Armageddon, will one side be getting the upper hand on their opponents heading into the PPV this weekend?
Plus Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch have challenged any Tag Team who were formerly on the roster to step up and face them to show that they are the best around in the RAW tag division. After having their Armageddon opponents in The World's Greatest Tag Team upstage them recently in singles matches, will Cade & Murdoch pick up a victory and gain some momentum?
Also after he took out both with ease weeks ago Kane will be facing Johnny Parisi & Johnny Jeter in a Handicap Match. Now known as "The Johnnies", Parisi & Jeter want the match to show everyone what they're capable of
Beth Phoenix will be taking on Mickie James in a Women's Championship match. Phoenix is on a tremendous run at the moment as Champ, and if she is able to topple Mickie she will earn "immunity" from all the current diva's in the company
We will also be treated to a 30 Man Over The Top Rope Battle Royal featuring thirty superstars from the past 15 years of RAW will be involved. Which of your former favourites will be involved?
For all this tune into what promises to be a blockbuster RAW 15th Anniversary Special live on the USA Network at 9/8pm Central on Monday!

STREETFIGHT THE ANSWER FOR THE McMAHON’S?
Last week, the McMahon’s let their family problems out in the open, we found out that the resolution to end all the squabbling would see Triple H facing his father-in-law, Mr. McMahon at the Survivor Series this Sunday in a Streetfight. The Chairman of the Board was also told quite firmly by his son that he would not be able to get himself out the match as Shane said he and Linda would be cancelling out his power to make the decisions on Raw. What now for the troubled family, just days before the head on collision between Triple H & Mr. McMahon?
RAW IS JERICHO ONCE AGAIN
When Shawn Michaels returned just over a week ago, we thought that that there couldn’t be any other surprises like that, but we were wrong. Michaels was able to pull another one out of the bag last Friday night, and that was after acquiring the services of The Undertaker for Team HBK this Sunday. Shawn said he had a final surprise for Team Orton, and boy did he deliver, bringing back Chris Jericho as the final piece of the jigsaw for the Survivor Series. Jericho was quick to tell WWE.com after the show that he was heading home to Raw. And this week, Jericho comes home!
TAKER TO FACE KENNEDY
Mr. Kennedy has always had some sort of ego problem, but last week it threatened to get in the way of Team Orton’s chances for this Sunday as his ego didn’t quite please the team captain. And later in the night, Randy Orton’s failed chair shot attempt on Michaels, ended up meeting Kennedy’s big head. This didn’t set well with Kennedy and he went looking for answers on Smackdown last Friday night, demanding a match for that night as the rest of Team Orton were put in action. However, Shane McMahon told Kennedy he would get his match this week on Raw, against his old nemesis The Undertaker. After bragging over his past success over the dead man, what response will Kennedy get when they lock horns once again this Monday night?
NO MORE REGAL, SHANE TO TAKE CHARGE
With William Regal taking his ball to Smackdown, it leaves Raw without a general manager. But last Friday night we found out that there is a replacement ready and waiting. Shane McMahon made it crystal clear that there is only person capable of running Raw right now with the difficulties in the McMahon family, and that is him. What can we expect from Shane this week?
TITLE CONTENDERS TO GO AT IT
With two huge title matches in store this Sunday at the Survivor Series, almost all the competitors will be in action against each other this Monday night. All six men in the Intercontinental Championship elimination match will be in singles action, as well as all four of the teams involved in the elimination tag team match being represented in a fatal fourway match. Massive stakes this Monday night as Raw hits its final stop before the Survivor Series!
CONFIRMED FOR THIS WEEK ON RAW

CM Punk vs Carlito
Cody Rhodes vs Elijah Burke
