Tonight, Monday Nitro will be live in the HSBC Center in Buffalo New York! Following the huge Pay Per View event that took place last night, many questions will be answered tonight. The new World Heavyweight Champion, Bret "The Hitman" Hart will be on the telecast. After wrestling two grueling matches, one against Sting, and the final against Chris Benoit, Hart emerged victorious after making the "Canadian Crippler" tap out to the Sharpshooter. Speaking of the Rabid Wolverine, he will take on the man who put Curt Hennig into retirement - Buff Bagwell.
However, Mayhem had it's fair share of poor sportsmanship along with dirty tatics to win. During the Booker T/Scott Hall matchup for both of Hall's championships, Hall cheated to win. Afterwards, Booker T requested a rematch, which the "Powers that Be" accepted. Tonight on Nitro, Booker T takes on Scott Hall, but in a small tweak from last night, only Hall's United States Championship will be on the line. Even in this rematch, you have to assume the advantage is on the Bad Guy's side. Unlike last night, Kevin Nash will be in the building aswell and will most likely be in Hall's corner for the title defense.
Speaking of the Outsiders, their huge nemesis -- Goldberg was victorious over Sid Vicious last night in a very intense "I Quit" matchup, where Sid Vicious passed out. Once again, Goldberg was declared the winner, but in both matches they've had in the last two Pay Per View encounters, Sid Vicious was never beaten pinned, nor did he quit. Be sure to tune into Nitro to see what will happen between these two!
In the World Heavyweight Title Tournement last night, Sting lost to Bret Hart. These two have had numerous battles in the past, but none have which came to be this emotional for both men. For the first time in their many battles over the past 2 years, both athletes actually have mutual respect for one another. Tonight on Nitro however, it seems that because of the lost, the Stinger will have some kind of announcement to make. What will this announcement be? Nobody is for sure.
Also on this telecast, Norman Smiley will defend his Hardcore Championship, Jeff Jarrett will be on Nitro, DDP has something to say about David Flair, and find out what happens to Evan Karagias -- will he get a Cruiserweight Championship rematch tonight after no-showing last nights Mayhem? There's only one way to find out! Tune into Nitro at 8 PM, live only on TNT!
Confirmed Matches:
Evan Karagias vs. Disco Inferno: Cruiserweight Championship (?)
Norman Smiley vs. Meng: Hardcore Championship
Chris Benoit vs. Buff Bagwell
Scott Hall vs. Booker T: United States Championship
To add some more hype, be on the lookout for some suprises.

Smackdown Preview
14th December 2007
The Palace of Auburn Hills
Auburn Hills, Michigan
HBK TO CHALLENGE THE ANIMAL
We found out Monday night on Raw’s 15th Anniversary show that it will be “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels who will be challenging Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship in just over a week’s time at Saturday Night’s Main Event. After defeating Edge two weeks ago, Michaels met The Undertaker on Monday night and came away victorious in more than controversial fashion to say the least. Now that The Animal knows his opponent, what response will we get this Friday night? And with Edge trying to manipulate Batista as to Michaels’ intentions, will The Animal be concerned?
UMAGA LOOKING INTO THE EYES OF THE DEAD
Last Friday night, The Undertaker defeated Umaga to book his place in the number one contender’s match with Shawn Michaels, but it is a victory that the dead man may now be regretting as The Samoan Bulldozer showed just how vicious he could be against possibly the most feared superstar in the history of the WWE. Just as it looked like the phenom could be heading to Saturday Night’s Main Event for a shot at the World Title, Umaga made his presence strongly felt as he entered the ring and dismantled The Undertaker, leading to Shawn Michaels winning the contender’s spot instead. With The Undertaker suffering such a brutal attack a few days ago, will he be able to appear this Friday night?
THE NATURE BOY IS BACK
One of the biggest surprises we saw on Raw this past Monday night was the return of the legendary Ric Flair, and he announced that he will be making his return to Smackdown this week. And we have now learnt that The Nature Boy will be the special guest on The V.I.P. Lounge this Friday. What will one of the legendary names in the history of the business have to say to the United States Champion?
TWO TITLES ON THE LINE THIS WEEK
Both the WWE Tag Team Champions and the Cruiserweight Champion will be defending their titles this Friday in Pontiac. Ever since The World’s Greatest Tag Team laid eyes on The UK Pack, they have suffered numerous defeats to both Paul Burchill and Harry Smith either in tag team action or in singles matches. Last week with a warning from Shelton Benjamin ringing in his ears, Charlie Haas suffered a defeat to Burchill in a triple threat match that also included Johnny Jeter. After the show went off the air, William Regal told WWE.com that this coming Friday, Benjamin and Haas will have to defend their titles against Burchill and Smith. Will the champions be able to finally get one over on their rivals, or will complacency catch up with them yet again?
But there rivalry is nowhere near as personal as it has got between Chavo Guerrero and the Cruiserweight Champion Kenny Dykstra. The cocky champion took exception to some blunt comments from Chavo several weeks ago and assaulted him backstage. And with Dykstra showing Chavo noting but disrespect over the last couple of weeks, Smackdown GM William Regal stepped in and made a title match for this week, and also made it a No Disqualification match. Dykstra was obviously angry at the decision, and with Chavo desperate to get his hands on the young star, what fireworks can we expect to see this week when these two collide?
PLUS
Kid Kash’s return last week caught everyone off guard as he and Jamie Noble overcame Jimmy Wang Yang and Super Crazy. We have been told that this Friday will see the singles return of the former Cruiserweight Champion when The Notorious K.I.D. goes one on one with Super Crazy. With The Pitbulls now reunited, will the Mexican high flyer be able to stop the aggressiveness of Kash?
CONFIRMED FOR THIS WEEK

Monday Night Raw Preview; February 25th, 2008; Kansas City, Missouri
Monday Night Raw rolls into Kansas City for another action-packed show as we continue to go full speed down the road to WrestleMania.
Last week, Triple H knocked off Kane to earn himself a shot this week at Shawn Michaels' WWE Championship. With a number one contender for the WWE Championship to be named for WrestleMania, the person who wins this match could very well be defending the title at WrestleMania. These two have had by far the greatest love/hate relationship in the WWE, and it will go head to head once more with the WWE Title up for grabs. Who will leave victorious with the WWE Championshp and bragging rights over long time friend and foe?
For the first time since No Way Out, Chris Jericho will make a live appearance on Raw. We learned last week that The Savior is extremely angry about Kane's brutal attack on him, and that Kane better have eyes in the back of his head. What will The Savior have to say? And will Kane be the one who's battered?
Last week, Randy Orton challenged 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin to a match at WrestleMania. The Texas Rattlesnake gladly accepted after he Stunned Orton right in the center of the ring. You can bet Orton will be upset after being stunned two nights in a row, but will he be able to control his anger?
See all of this and more by tuning into Raw this Monday Night at 9/8 CT.
