From wwe.com:

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.
Looking forward to some nostalgic appearances from Flair and DiBiase. PLEASE give us UNDERTAKER this week!

Really looking forward to the staging in particular. The 2010 Old School Raw had a stripped-down look that felt much grittier and immediate - the focus was on the wrestlers themselves instead of the high-production spectacle of LCD screens.

I'm excited. I really enjoyed the 2010 Old School RAW (was it really that long ago!?) and am hoping this one is just as good. With it being during the Road to Wrestlemania, I'm really expecting a great RAW.

I'm just surprised that we're getting an old school RAW with Wrestlemania 29 around the corner. It should be a good show, seeing some of the legends that have been announced

I'm also hoping the Undertaker returns tomorrow, and we start the Undertaker/Punk buildup. Punk will cut a promo saying how he was robbed of his chance to face the Rock at Wrestlemania 29 for the WWE Title, and go on about how he was robbed of the WWE Title at the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber. Lights go out, and Undertaker's music hits. He proceeds to chokeslam Punk, and the match is set for Wrestlemania 29.

I also expect a Rock/Cena confrontation, and hopefully a HHH/Lesnar confrontation.

Expecting a good RAW this week as the last old school RAW was one of the best especially with the old raw set and the classic red, blue and white ring ropes. Not really excited about seeing the old -timers above though. If you want to bring back some legends then bring back some more recent ones eg. stone cold, edge. Ive had enough of those old timers above already. Im also expecting Taker to make an entrance to confirm his feud with CM.

Yes it is.


This RAW should be decent.

Who's that guy with that funny looking belt?

Wasn't watching when they did this before so not sure what to expect. Great idea putting this episode on the road to WM by the way.

You see, here's the thing...Triple H 30 min promo.

Beat me to it this week, Clique. Damn though, that Trips/Rocky pic is pretty darn crazy not to mention :mark:. To know how they both came up feuding with each other and to see them side by side, even in a photoshopped picture in 2013 is rather nostalgic if I do say so myself. I'd love to get a scene between them at some point purely for old times sake. I'd fucking mark that's for sure.

Not expecting much from this show tbh since I have the feeling that it's going to be more filler. Honestly. I thought the whole point of having so much time between the Chamber and Mania was to actually USE the time to create...something. Instead they seem to be holding off and holding off. With the exception of the two title matches and Brock/HHH, nothing else has started yet. Meh. It will be great to have the legends back and the Old School theme will at least be something to look forward to. We'll see what happens with the rest.

No, not at all. In fact, I'm still holding out hope that 'Taker doesn't come back at all & misses 'Mania completely. It's bad enough that Wrestlemania is going to be sold on two rematches, I don't want them to add a third match that I don't give a fuck about at the top of the card too. Shit, they want people to sit through Del Rio/Swagger as well?

I honestly think I'll just skip Wrestlemania this year. I have no idea who is clamoring for ANY of those matches. Even most marks don't care about Rock/Cena again.
