Bad business for Trump?
February 26, 2007

Trump to reveal his pick
Mr. McMahon sent a serious message to rival billionaire Donald Trump on Monday night when he selected new Intercontinental Champion Umaga to represent the Chairman in the Battle of the Billionaires at WrestleMania 23. On the next edition of Raw, “The Donald” will answer back by announcing which Superstar will carry the Trump banner in Detroit on April 1. Which competitor will have the mogul’s endorsement? How will Mr. McMahon or, more importantly, the Samoan Bulldozer react to Trump’s pick?

Opponents and partners
On two consecutive nights, Shawn Michaels was true to his word to WWE Champion John Cena, having his tag team partner’s back at No Way Out and on Raw. Will Michaels uphold his promise this Monday night as he and Cena defend their World Tag Team Championship against Rated-RKO? WWE fans will find out right at 9/8 CT, as the match will kick off Raw.

Cashing in
So far, Edge, CM Punk and King Booker have qualified for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania 23. Tonight, a fourth man will be added to that mix when Jeff Hardy takes on Shelton Benjamin in the next qualifying match. Will Benjamin move on to his third consecutive Money in the Bank appearance, or is there yet another WrestleMania Ladder Match in Hardy's future?

From paparazzi to Playboy
Melina changed the face of all Diva-dom on Raw as she seized the Women’s Championship from Mickie James. Despite arguably the biggest win in her career, Melina did not seem too happy Monday night as the new champion disparaged latest Playboy cover girl and SmackDown Diva, Ashley. It seems as if the attention Melina gets from the usual torrent of paparazzi isn’t enough any more. What will the Women’s Champion do to ensure the spotlight stays fixed on her curvaceous body?

Find out live Monday night at 9/8 CT only on the USA Network.

L0L. I like that we all still have to act like we don't know who Trump's rep would be. I hope it's the opener so I don't have to keep my mouth shut for the whole hour.

I believe the tag title match is kicking off the show tonight.

Wow. What a bust. All the main eventers on your show right at the beginning. What the hell is the main event?

CANT WAIT TO GET MY KHALI FIX YESSSSSS

I wonder who Trump is going to pick.

I think it's going to be Hogan.

sticky

I think Cena should cost him and HBK the titles.

The shadow image next to Trump looks like Test.

yep, I think that will happen. Cena will go for a tag belt shot and miss and hit HBK

I think Cena should pull a Luger. (ie: sees that he's about to nail HBK, stops and then hits him anyway.)

Why are you guys talking about things other than Khali?

Khali's awesomeness can not be described with words. So in respect to Khali, we must not say a word about him.

He is the best technical wrestler to grace the squared circle.

Trump's mystery guy looks like Test in that pic

Whoo Lillian is back.

Also, the picture they showed on TV looked like Stone Cold's picture.

Also, tag team match this early means heels win and something will happen again later that night. At least I think so.

Listen to that pop for Cena.

Okay, first off what's the Main Event? All the main eventers on Raw are literally in the opener.

I miss "Sexy Boy" music. :-(

HBK turns heel and joins Edge and Orton. :shifty:



(wishes)

They never wear the belts anymore.

Ohhh no match, just an angle.

Okay. Good. I'm glad that they're waiting for this.

Wait, what are they doing? Umaga?

Jesus, Ortons speech is like having teeth pulled. I guess he didn't practice his lines.

JANNETTY!

By the way, I like that they're letting Ran----

Nevermind.


As I started to say that he goes "With Shawn. .Micheals and. . .his friends."

okay what is the friggin point?

ROFL,


BARBER SHOP, CORPORATION, Sweet Chin to Booker, Hogan


ROFL

Micheals is a shitty partner. . .that's a pretty good point to be honest.

MARK OUT MOMENTS GALORE

I didnt realize Edge and Orton had such good video editting skills. :shifty:

Are Edge and Randy high?

HBK should just superkick Cena and get it over with.

Lolz. Real opener is the MitB match. Way to use up all your awesome early.

Nice. WGTT music. Love it.

How the HELL can they keep Shelton out? Holy crap. Those stunts were insane!

What's with the in ring introductions?

I really want Shelton to win, but I really doubt it.

probably just a Lilian pub thing..

Something is wrong with this Raw. It doesn't seem right. Feels like a rehearsal or something.
