Goldberg to turn up and get squashed by ryback :-D

This WWE title match should be win/win as far as taking steps to legitimize the title again.

At this point, you've either got Cena getting it back which, love it or hate it, put the title on the biggest full time star in the company. Or you've got Punk getting the high profile match against "the man" and retaining which should catapult it back up a level by saying (kayfabe-wise) "The title doesn't belong to the 'top guy' in Cena but only because Cena failed to beat him for it. Therefore Punk can make a claim to being the new face of the company. To be the man, you've got to beat the man. And he did."

This is all assuming it doesn't end in a DQ finish of some sort. Even then though, at this point with Cena using MITB to cash in and all, I can't see Cena leaving without the title and just being "Ah well" and moving on to someone else. Even if that someone else did cost him the title.

Bats will be there to give Cena the cheat code. No way he is walking out without the title tonight.

DQ Finish with Brock, Rock, Taker and Triple H all beating down on Cena and Punk and starting a new Millionaires club.

Aces and Eights gonna interfere in the title match tonight. MARK MY WORDS.

Okay Hornswoggle.

Can not WAIT to seethe epic return of the Ultimate Warrior, he is the only one that would be "shocking" to me... even Hogan wouldn't be as shocking

There is also an Intercontinental Title Match tonight. Really hope that Christian does not lose. Will probably be against Cody Rhodes.

How long till the show starts?

About an hour and 30 minutes I believe.

Very possible

Isn't there a preshow online like they're doing with PPVs?

Thanks honey.

I hope the St Louis crowd truly appreciates what they'll witness tonight, and goes crazy.

Hope they prove to be a wild crowd tonight.

This Raw is going to be ridiculous. Can't wait.

The rock will cost cena the title. Mark my words! Woooooooo!

I wish they would have planned out the site of this show with that in mind and held it at MSG or Philly or Chicago. A good wrestling town. Maybe not Chicago on account of the ridiculous Punk bias. We already got that at MITB last year so Cena deserves a fighting chance to get SOME people not wanting him to die. NYC or Philly would have been awesome though.

Don't disappoint St. Louis. Take notes from that random awesome Arizona crowd for MITB.

I really hope it doesn't turn out like the past couple weeks, where we've seen legends come out to face Heath Slater and, while they've gotten good initial pops, the crowd then dies down.

Go crazy, St Louis.

They need the crowd from Miami after Wrestlemania to be there.

I'm sure they will get a fair bit of hardcore "out of towners" who came in just because it is the 1000th episode.

23 minutes until the pre-show starts.

arent we getting a new Raw set too?

wouldn't mind one with a bit more attitude.

That seems pretty sweet for a Raw.

Probably means nothing.

Right?

interestiing

I don't think there is a pre-show. Or else it would be advertised on WWE.com or something.

Probably just Warrior using the big night to remind people he used to be part of it. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I'm not really a Warrior fan, just thought it was weird.

I swear they mentioned it last week on more than one occasion.

Yeah they definitely mentioned it last week.

Yeah, I'm seeing stuff online about it but there's nothing on youtube.

Probably just WWE being ridiculously unorganized again and scrapping it at the last second.

They did mention a pre-show, but I can't find it anywhere either.

lol. I can't imagine any other form of entertainment or a legit sports company being so unorganized without crumbling. How do they manage...

Warrior just posted this same photo again on Facebook, and added the following message:
