Last week, Triple H returned to WWE and handed down perhaps the worst beating Brock Lesnar has ever suffered in WWE. What will unfold when The Game comes to Raw in Buffalo, N.Y.?
Also coming to Raw is WWE Champion The Rock. Will he cross paths with his WrestleMania 29 opponent, John Cena?
Where does CM Punk go from here?
For more than a year, CM Punk stood atop the mountain as WWE Champion. He held onto the prestigious title for 434 days, making him the longest-reigning WWE Champion of the last 25 years. (CHARTING PUNK’S REIGN). Last week, Punk lost a WrestleMania No. 1 Contender’s Match to John Cena. With just a month to go, can the former WWE Champion find a way to showcase his talents on The Grandest Stage of Them All?
What will Zeb Colter say next?
Ever since Jack Swagger returned to WWE with Zeb Colter at his side, controversy has surrounded the outspoken duo. Their views even caught the attention of media personality Glenn Beck. But Beck hid from WWE when offered a chance to respond on Raw. What will Colter have to say next?
Will The Shield strike back against The Viper?
Last week, The Shield dismissed the recent efforts of Ryback, Sheamus, Chris Jericho, John Cena and Team Hell No — who had thus far tried and failed to stop their reign of terror. When The Celtic Warrior delivered an open challenge to the men in black, Randy Orton lashed out with an RKO on an unsuspecting Seth Rollins.

“The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes and “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan will be among the WWE Legends to appear on a special “Old School” edition of Raw, WWE.com has learned.
It remains to be seen what these WWE Hall of Famers will have in store when Raw turns back the clock Monday night, but it’s clear the WWE Universe is in for excitement as ring icons mingle with today’s Superstars on one of the most unpredictable and nostalgia-laden stops on The Road to WrestleMania.
Who else will drop in on the festivities when WWE goes “Old School” on Monday Night Raw? To find out, tune in at 8/7 CT, only on USA Network.
Man, I wish they did an Attitude-themed Raw instead. Why re-do the same old-school version of 2010? Plus, they got rid of the "F" in the logo. Why? I thought it was settled.
Im not here to kill any excitement, but my gut feeling says this show will suck balls. Apart from the retro sets and fresh colours nothing will be good. I expect a 20 min Triple H promo very similar to the ones he did before Summerslam this year.. "Lets fight,... businesss.. FAMILY" etc.
A boring Rock/Cena confrontation.. same promo material as last year with them mentioning how surprising it is that this match is happening again, when in reality its not the case.
And alot of time wasted on "legends" with not so very funny comedy segments.. I also expect something very stupid like Dusty Rhodes and Flair dancing with tensai and brodus.
The only thing i cant figure out is what will CM Punk be doing and if Taker will actually be there for WM this year.
THAT IS DISRESPECTFUL TO ME AND THIS WRESTLING BUSINESS :flair3
The old school stuff should hopefully provide a few decent segments at least, Taker will surely show up this week right? Looking forward to a 25 minute Triple H monologue too, haven't had one of those in a while :grant
Im guessing the undertaker returns during a punk promo
john cena and rock will cut a promo, im not sure but i think rock wont be appearing tonight however he might appear via satellite or something like that
orton sheamus become even better friends backstage and might have single matches where this time the shield appears against sheamus and orton comes to the rescue or perhaps the other member to their team could be introduce my guess is ryback since he has nothing else to do in wrestle mania
brock and triple H will for sure be involved in some promo or small fight together with vince n paul heyman
It's not going to feel like anything special when all the "old school" stuff is shit we've seen recently. Like, we've seen Hacksaw & Slaughter. We see them all the time. Piper & Snuka too. Bring out like I.R.S. Bring out Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. Akeem the African Dream. Just random people that we haven't seen forever. The Bushwhackers! The Nasty Boys! Meng/Haku! I'm sure none of those guys are doing anything.
Prime Time Players are in the ring and they're jaw jacking to the fans. MILLIONS A DOLLARS MILLIONS A DOLLARS etc etc. Then all of a sudden...
SLICK comes out to his Jive Soul Bro music. He says that the Prime Time Players may be great dancers, but they don't have any soul, and he has the perfect opponent for Titus O'Neil tonight, so he brings out...
...AKEEM. He dances to the ring and beats the hell out of Titus, plus he gets a few shots in on Darren Young.
- We noted earlier that "Road Dogg" BG James and Billy Gunn, The New Age Outlaws, will be appearing on tonight's old-school RAW from Buffalo. Word is that they may be facing Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow.
- There is talk that former TNA Knockout Rosita (Thea Trinidad) may be in Buffalo for a tryout with WWE before tonight's RAW hits the air. Thea's contract with TNA expired earlier this year.
I'm not interested in the least in Cena/Rock II unless it includes a Cena heel turn. I'm KIND of interested in Big Nose/Brock but only because of the intensity they bring. Now why I'll really tune in is for Punk/Taker. I am interested in this match I can't wait to see how it starts out. I think they should do something different. Keep Punks delusional gimmick going and have him call out Taker and say he wants to end the streak.
Since they're doing old school Raw it would be pretty cool if they showed old school WWF/E commercials. There would still be commercials but I'd be happier to watch those than the shit we get now.
Even if this show is good, it will only illustrate how crap the current era of Raw is.
