Preview: Game back on


August 27, 2007



To the delight of our fans, The Kings of Kings, Triple H (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/tripleh/), made a triumphant return with a victory over King Booker (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/bookert/) at SummerSlam (http://www.wwe.com/shows/summerslam07/). Tonight, The Game returns to Raw (http://www.wwe.com/shows/raw/). After a nearly nine-month absence, what will the 10-time World Champion have to say? And what are his plans for WWE?

Meanwhile, WWE Champion John Cena (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/johncena/) pulled out yet another gutsy title defense at SummerSlam when he turned back the dangerous challenge of Randy Orton (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/randyorton/) in one of the most memorable matches in SummerSlam history. What’s next for The Champ? And has he seen the last of Orton?

Also, Mr. McMahon's search for his bastard son continues. He had hoped that the mother of his illegitimate son would reveal herself at SummerSlam, but his hopes were dashed. Tonight the Chairman will be a guest on Carlito (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/carlito/)'s Cabana, and he will hope that more clues surface about the identity of his long-lost son.

In Diva news, Candice (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/candice/) Michelle watched Beth Phoenix (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/bethphoenix/) help dispose of 11 other Divas at SummerSlam's all-Diva Battle Royal. With her victory, Phoenix won the opportunity to challenge Candice Michelle for the Women’s Championship. With a championship match in the future, things are sure to heat up between the two Raw Divas.

Umaga (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/umaga/) also successfully defended his Intercontinental Championship (http://www.wwe.com/inside/titlehistory/intercontinental/) against Mr. Kennedy (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/mrkennedy/) and Carlito in their Triple Threat Match at SummerSlam. The Samoan Bulldozer (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/raw/umaga/) emerged victorious, but just barely. Will Mr. Kennedy and Carlito continue pursuing the Intercontinental Championship?
Find out the answers to all these questions and more Monday night on Raw when it airs live at 9/8 CT with a special broadcast on the Sci Fi Network.

[KingofOldSchool]

SPOILERS: Cena retains

[ClockShot]

I guess this is the raw thread tonight?

[KingofOldSchool]

Looks like the crowd is pro-Cena tonight.

[KingofOldSchool]

A miracle?

What show has he been watching the last two years?

[ClockShot]

I don't know. Decent amout of boos.

[KingofOldSchool]

A rematch?!

Wow what a shocker.

[BigDaddyCool]

Orton lost cleanly in the middle of the ring, why does he get a rematch? I fucking hate how they do that. Cena has beating Orton time and time before, there is no reason for him to face Orton.

[KingofOldSchool]

I wanna see an RKO on Cena's dad.

[BigDaddyCool]

I will mark out for Cena if he refuses a match with Orton.

[ClockShot]

Get out here Triple H.

[BigDaddyCool]

If HHH wins Cena's belt tonight I will die a happy man.

[Londoner]

Wtf sky..sky just lost the fucking signal. way to ruin my drunk night fuckheads.

[KingofOldSchool]

Triple Hatch

[Ninti the Mad]

Cener LOL

[BigDaddyCool]

Fuck Regal, let HHH take the title :'(

[KingofOldSchool]

Cena vs. Kennedy

[Ninti the Mad]

YESSS BOOOOKER

[KingofOldSchool]

WOOOOOO

[ClockShot]

What the fuck? ex-King Bookhaaa gets a title shot?

[BigDaddyCool]

Maybe King Booka will win the title. Anyone but Orton and anyone but Cena.

[Ninti the Mad]

Orton has really stepped up his game.

I just LOVE his psychology in and out of the ring

[Londoner]

Well its back on only no volume. :|

[ClockShot]

Anybody else sound going in and out? Or is it just me?

[KingofOldSchool]

ALL HAIL KING BOOK-AH

[Londoner]

AH yeah volume back on..just as the fuckin adverts get back on..cunts.

[KingofOldSchool]

Fatal Four Way.

Punk gets yet another title shot?

[BigDaddyCool]

Boogen 4 Champeen!!!!

[ClockShot]

Hey. Hardy's back to work.

[BigDaddyCool]

What the fuck? ex-King Bookhaaa gets a title shot?

He is still king...but how does he get a title shot for losing? Then again he did beat lawler's 120 title holding ass.

[KingofOldSchool]

Funny I checked and I can live with out you Kennedy.

Look who's back...

[BigDaddyCool]

So who will win, kennedy who is suppose to get a push or hardy who is suppose to be in the dog house? My money is on hardy.

[Ninti the Mad]

hardy will keep the momentum and lose at the end

[Xerzes]

Silly BDC, this is Raw. Pushes are for Triple H. He'll probably pedigree both of them with his mind.

[KingofOldSchool]

I hope Snitsky comes out and takes them both out.

[Londoner]

Silly BDC, this is Raw. Pushes are for Triple H. He'll probably pedigree both of them with his mind.

You forgot about Cena.

[SammyG]

LETS GO KENNEDY

[SammyG]

Yeah, fuck you Hardy. C'monnn Kennedy. WTF UMAGA, FUCK YOU.

[Xerzes]

Goddamnit go away Umanga you suck.

[Volchok]

lol

[KingofOldSchool]

The face turn didn't last long.

[ClockShot]

LOL.

I guess you can call that Hardy's punishment.

[KingofOldSchool]

I would've mentioned what happened before Hardy went on his little break, but that would be falling on deaf ears.

[SammyG]

Fuckin Jewmaga.

[BigDaddyCool]

So who will win, kennedy who is suppose to get a push or hardy who is suppose to be in the dog house? My money is on hardy.

Umaga kicked Hardy, therefore Hardy wins via dq. So I bet right.

[Volchok]

I miss The Highlight Reel :(

[KingofOldSchool]

Gee subtle hint drops, who saw that coming?

[Xerzes]

Bludgeoning us over the head with it. Which means that it will be someone else or they'll fuck it up beyond imagination like Shit-DX last year.

[McLegend]

That was beautiful bumping by Hardy :'(

[KingofOldSchool]

Vince is a young go-getter.

[ClockShot]

Alright. Uncle Hunter's promo time.

[KingofOldSchool]

UH OH

[Corndad]

Even fellas. worked late tonight. What have I missed?

[KingofOldSchool]

Hunter sounds like he did back in the 90's.

[The Optimist]

Okay, this is just stupid.

"By far the coolest Carlito's Cabana ever."

Months ago Carlito straight up told Vince that he wasn't cool, Vince then had Khali wreck his shit. Nothing has changed for him since.

While I'm at it . . .

Do people just. . . what the fuck? How do people automatically know HHH is a face? HHH (outside of DX HHH) has done some of the worst, most atrocious deeds in WWE history and consistently brings fucking sledgehammers to the ring to hurt people with. How do they not already know?

[KingofOldSchool]

LOL

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

[Innovator]

I miss The Highlight Reel :(I miss entertainment

[KingofOldSchool]

hahahaha

[Corndad]

"That's not cool" lol

[Xerzes]

How was it necessary to tell the same joke twice?

[KingofOldSchool]

WOOO MICHAEL VICK

[Xerzes]

..speaking of.

[Corndad]

oh how we have missed the cock jokes...

[ClockShot]

Awwwwww. That's a mean thing to say.

[Volchok]

Triple H is the man, No matter what the hell he's done he's gonna get cheered.

[The Optimist]

They're going to give me Carlito-HHH blue balls. Just like they gave me Booker-HHH blue balls.

[JT]

This crowd sucks ass!

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>God I hope HHH stays face when the inevitable HHH/Cena feud comes up. Face HHH vs. heel Cena 4tw</font>

[Innovator]

AHAHHAA, Shelton is pulling a Chad Johnson

[Volchok]

wtf did Shelton do?

[Xerzes]

"The Natural" Shelton Benjamin. Ugh.

[Xerzes]

And now Cade and Murdoch will make it three weeks in a row where the lose and keep their titles.

[Xerzes]

And now Cade and Murdoch will make it three weeks in a row where they lose and keep their titles.

[RP]

And now Cade and Murdoch will suck my cock

[ClockShot]

20 minutes for the main event. This should be a snooze.

[SammyG]

Fuck, I had a floor meeting and missed the Trips/ Vince in ring promo. It was probably sweet.

[CSL]

Check out Cena giving Booker some offence. There's a novel concept.

[mrslackalack]

Of course we all knew Cenas dad would get attacked tonight. It happened last yr as well

[KingofOldSchool]

The forums servers have sucked and someone stole my Butch Reed/Shelton comment.

[mrslackalack]

Decent RAW tonight. The Hardy/Kennedy match I enjoyed except for the no-finish. I dont know if Umagas heel again or he just did that to put Hardy back in the I-C title picture with Carlito and Kennedy. Seems like Cena/Orton rematch at Unforgiven or Cena/Orton/Booker TT.

[mrslackalack]

TPWW servers have been awful lately. It was out for several days last week and went real slow tonight.

[Sephiroth]

I have to say, that HHH is lookin cool like he did in the old days, imo.

Orton was kinda doin it for me, hope he goes all mental (like The Rock did)

[parkmania]

My views over the past two days:

1) Rey Mysterio, meet the Ab-ciser. Also, please don't ever try to steal Goldust's makeup again.

2) ECW, if you're not going to give Punk the belt SOON (like in the next month), get him out of the title scene. You're only hurting any credibility he has built up.

3) Mr. Kennedy is NOT going to be Vince's son. They're teasing it way too much.

4) Cryme Tyme is GOLD!

More to come - I have to get to work.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Umaga is a tweener, guys. Not that hard of a concept.

[JJT420]

I was at RAW last night, the crowd was kinda retarded, although the "Die Cena Die!" chants coming from the row behind mine made me crack up, I added my own part to the "Orton Sucks" chants......"Orton Sucks....dick", the dark Main Event between Orton and Trips was cool, Orton got leveled, then Hunter went around the entire edge of the crowd giving the high fives, posed a bunch of times lol.

[D Mac]

That Orton kick to Cena Sr. looked damn real and you could hear it.

[Team Sheep]

They're just trying to swerve the internet fans with the whole Kennedy thing. I mean if they were just suspecting everybody apart from Kennedy, then it would be blatantly obvious.

[Tommy Gunn]

An okay edition of Raw. A bit disappointed that we have the cock-jokes DX version of Triple H, it takes away some of his edge IMO.

Jeff Hardy's hair is ridiculous, I hope there's a second triple threat for the IC title replacing Carlito with Hardy so that Kennedy can go over the rainbow warrior and take the belt.

I must admit, this bastard son angle is actually interesting to me. When McMahon blew himself up and we had everyone the next week on WWE programming trying to sell it, I seriously considered taking a break from WWE until the angle dropped. Thank you Benoit.

Highlight of the night, was Randy Orton. I have never seen him so intense and he plays off the crazed competitive heel challenger perfectly. Even if Cena wins in the rematch, at least I get another 2 or 3 Raws of RKOs to Superman.

I was actually on the edge of my seat when Randy was gearing up for the punt shouting "kick him in the fucking head!" at the tv screen.

[Pardeep 619]

Have to say I absolutely loved how when Jeff went for Swanton Bomb and Kennedy got his knees up... looked so good and painful.
