Judgment Day will be only six days away when Raw returns from north of the border this Monday night, and the Raw Superstars will have one last chance to gain momentum inside Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena.

One individual making his way to the Motor City for Raw is John Cena. Following last week's announcement that the Chain Gang Soldier will clash with JBL at Judgment Day, Cena may be on hand to mix some pre-match words (or fists) with the self-proclaimed "wrestling god."

Since tapping to Cena in the WWE Championship Fatal Four Way Match at Backlash, JBL has taken out his aggression on the likes of Highlander Robbie and DH Smith. Will Cena's return to Raw this week be enough to keep the Longhorn Loudmouth from seeking another victim? Or might JBL want to make Cena that victim, mere days before Judgment Day?

Detroit may be Hockeytown, U.S.A., but this Monday, it could become Blackoutville. For two consecutive weeks, General Manager William Regal has pulled the plug; first, he took Raw off the air two weeks ago in the middle of a Triple H vs. Randy Orton WWE Title Match, and last week, he turned the lights out as Orton battled CM Punk in Toronto.

Regal has shown that he has no qualms about taking Raw off the air if he is disrespected, and WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon (statement). Will our fans in Detroit make it through the full two hours uninterrupted? If they don’t, will those in attendance at “The Joe” shower Regal with the signature squid usually reserved for celebrating a Red Wings hat trick?

Orton and Regal’s number one enemies, WWE Champion Triple H and Mr. Kennedy respectively, did make it through their match last week. Unfortunately, they lost, as Kennedy & The Game had to do battle against the entire ECW roster. To make matters worse for Triple H, he survived a wild post-match melee only to be flattened by an RKO from his Judgment Day opponent. On the way to their Steel Cage showdown, who will get the last laugh? And will Regal throw anything more at Kennedy in response to his besmirching several weeks ago?

Also last week in a WWE Mobile on AT&T exclusive video, a massive match was made for Judgment Day: Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels. The battle between Y2J and HBK has been heating up ever since Michaels’ win over Batista at Backlash. Jericho has accused the Showstopper of faking an injury to win that match; whether he is or he isn’t, HBK’s injury didn’t stop him from teaming with Y2J to defeat WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison last Monday night. With less than a week left before their pay-per-view battle, how will Jericho and Michaels finish their preparations?

Find out all this in more as the final Raw before Judgment Day comes to you live from Detroit, Monday at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

I'm hoping a match between Regal and Kennedy @ Judgment Day is set up tomorrow night. They should have stuck with Batista/HBK rather than Y2J/HBK.

I'm looking foward to this Raw mostly because of the JBL\Cena feud, these two had a feud 2 or 3 years back on smackdown for Wrestlemania 21 and the promos were funny as hell.John Cena has not been able to have those type of promos this time around due to his movie which leads to me saying if Cena wins at Judgement day despite not appearing on Raw since Backlash than i'm going to stomp on Vince Mcmahon's grandsons fucking head.

I'm not really into the HBK\Y2J feud but it could lead up into a great wrestling match but HBK just does not really entertain me on the mic or cutting promos anymore, he can still get the job done in the ring though.

Overall i expect a good Raw but i'm hoping Regal does not appear on the show making some type of order every 15 minutes because that was getting very annoying.

You know it's going to happen.

I find it rather entertaining actually. It adds a certain spice to Raw these days.

I think Vince said that whole Regal turning off the show routine was gonna stop, he said at the stockholder's meeting this past week.

He said Regal was gonna find more ways of getting people's respect.

It doesn't matter how good the show is, the ratings won't reflect it.

The Haiti Kid · 05-11-2008, 06:48 PM

You got that right.

I just think we need to except that wrestling in general just isn't very popular anymore.

*alisha*_cenafan · 05-11-2008, 07:19 PM

I'm looking forward to seeing Cena back on RAW. I just hope the JBL/Cena build up is adequate and credible.

**Troy_Umaga** · 05-11-2008, 08:55 PM

I hope Shawn Michaels lays Y2J out with some Sweet Chin Music on this edition of RAW. Not exactly the best 'face' move to fake an injury, but I'm sure HBK can pull it off

.

Anyone else seeing Regal/Orton vs. Kennedy/HHH closing the show?
