Preview:Bagging the gold?
August 11, 2008

At SummerSlam, John Cena and Batista face off one-on-one for the first time ever. On Monday night though, the two Superstars had to join forces as they faced World Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase. In spite of some infighting, and neither of these dominant competitors wanting to give an inch, Cena & Batista defeated Rhodes & DiBiase to become the new World Tag Team Champions.

While preparing to face each other at the Biggest Blockbuster of the Summer, will Cena & Batista be able to retain their gold? Can these rivals possibly coexist? We'll find out this Monday, as the former champions exercise their rematch clause to face Cena & Batista once again, attempting to regain the World Tag Team Championship.

Since coming to Raw in the 2008 WWE Draft, Kane has been on a mission of devastation, affecting those in and outside the ring all while making cryptic references to “he” and whether he is alive or dead. The Big Red Monster has kept a burlap sack clutched to his side throughout, the contents of which remain shrouded in mystery.

On Raw, new General Manager Mike Adamle decided that the sack has remained enigmatic for long enough, and in an attempt to give the WWE Universe what they want, has promised to make Kane disclose the contents of the bag on next week’s Raw. Will Kane simply allow the GM to look in his fiercely guarded bag? And what could the Big Red Monster be hiding?

Ever since World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk won the title, JBL has decried the Straightedge Superstar as a “paper champion,” who won gold on a fluke. On Monday, the self-made millionaire pinned Punk in a 2-on-1 Handicap Match to face the World Heavyweight Champion at SummerSlam. Then, as first-seen on WWE Mobile on AT&T, JBL went on to challenge Punk to a contest he knows the Straightedge Superstar "CAN'T win." What is this mystery challenge, and will the World Heavyweight Champion be able to prevail? Full story...

On Raw, Shawn Michaels participated in his first interview since being severely injured at the hands of Chris Jericho during their match at The Great American Bash. HBK verified that he was suffering from a detached retina, and that his future as a WWE Superstar was in question. With one more medical evaluation to go, Michaels will be present at SummerSlam to share the results with the WWE Universe. What will Michaels’ doctors determine? Will we see HBK in action again?

For the answers to these questions and more, be sure to tune into Monday Night Raw at 9/8 CT only on USA Network.

Gonna be watching this.

I wish I was. Uni timetable for this semester means I've now got stuff on Tuesdays.:(

Yeah. Adamle solving the question has my interest tonight. I could care less about John and Dave being Tag Champs. Unless the drop them tonight, which I highly doubt.

Seems like it SHOULD be a really good show...

SHOULD be.

Really hope Kane gets the mask back.

I hope what's in the bag IS a mask, but it is a mask of Glen Jacobs and that is their way of ending the angle.

Maybe it's a doctor's surgical mask and he goes back to being Issac Yankem?

I might like to add that this might be my last ever Raw on a SDTV.

Maybe Kane's credibility hes been missing last few years will come out of the bag tonight.

He'd need a bigger bag.

They'll forget all about Kane's bag by next week, so whatever's in there doesn't matter.

Hey, while everyone is sitting here waiting for the excitement of Raw to start:

"WHAT'S IN THE BAG?!"

Here we go.

And good evening, gentlemen.

Anyone have a stream? Please and thank you.

Evening?its 2am here!

So will Cena have a spinner tag team title?

I bet it starts off with Cena.:(

Well here we go.

:mad:

Gee I would have figured Cena would have blinged out the belt by now.

What they didnt turn the tag belts into a spinner belt yet?

Richmond, eh. Mickie will blow the roof off tonight.

Speaking of cake...my birthday is on Thursday.

Mispronounced your name?

What's the worse he could come up with, John Xena?

I hate Cena more every time he talks.

Batista vs. John Cena: Chili Cook Off...BOOK IT

Meh.

Isnt this the showoff type deal he just said they werent going to do?

<font color=goldenrod>Hope Adamle appears in this segment so we can see if he has the American Gladiators theme</font> :shifty:

Cena and Batista promo. OH BOY.

I really want to see Bats turn uber heel and destroy Cena, start his path of destruction, which leads to a Cena match at Mania

is Bats wearing boots like the Rock's?

Is there anyway to get a message to Vince that this is his main event for SS, and no one gives a damn? :-\

Cena vs. Batista, Pink Slip on a Pole match

Bats has his name on the belt, but the World Champ still has like cardboard...

Sick of Cena overhyping this match already.

Cena watches Batista in the shower.

Batista has a stalker...

I'd rather see it go the other way.

<font color=goldenrod>JBL will challenge Punk to a beer drinking contest and Punk whips out root beer and the ref allows it because it has beer in the title</font> :shifty:

ROIDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

'Turned critics into believers'...what complete bullshit.

Shit, I'm fading fast. Someone get out here and end this.

wow...Cena puts too much into his promos...it's like breaking out into song and dance everytime you buy an ice cream.

That's like comparing Crap to Shit, John.

If anything, he has turned believers into critics.

On Sunday Cena is going to be better? Spoiler warning, Cena!

They should just have a Live Sex Celebration and get it over with.

Wowyal Wumble match?

idk, but this promo is now making me think "Brokeback Mountian".

I hate face vs face cock suck fests.

Just hate each other

'Never changed who you're' rofl..again complete bullshit.

LOL at Bats making fun of Cena

lol, Burn!

Batista is shootin' now!

hmmm...I have a feeling Batista is about to make me like him.

bullshit bullshit bullshit

For the first time ever I want Adamle to run in.

Worst promo ever.

BA-TIS-TA!
BA-TIS-TA!
BA-TIS-TA!
BA-TIS-TA!
BA-TIS-TA!
BA-TIS-TA!
BA-TIS-TA!
BA-TIS-TA!

*yawn*

Adamle didn't run in :(

That was suppose to hype that match?

That was...awkward....

Batista should have pulled Cena's hand into his cock, then called him a fag.


Thats what I would have done.

WHO IS THE BIGGER STAR TPWWUNIVERSE!?

So the first 15 mins was just Cena and Dancin' Dave... not a good way to start a show.

Cena wins the poll and it makes Batista cry, thus furthering his heel turn.

That was a lacklustre start to Raw. I might just go lay down, and watch for as long as it can keep me awake. (Probably be asleep by half past!)

Hopefully Batista turns heel and cody/dibiase regain their titles.

Mysterio gotta drop the superhero crap.

I've never heard of CINE.

Oh god, now a womens match.

WWE is honored to have some crap award you've never heard of.

Time for Kelly to get killed by Beth again

BETH PHOENIX, YOU IS MY WOMAN!!!!!

Beth Pheonix is a man, right?

I want to fuck my fellow Buffalo Native so badly

Your next IC champ in the ring.

LOL, gotta love it when people rip on Cena's fan base.

Meh.

Unibrow?

:y:

lol, Glamorella

Cena's fan base happens to share similar statistical numbers with Down's Victims.

Well that was exciting.
