Official Raw Thread "Mania Backlash"
 

http://www.wwe.com/content/media/tou.../29062/4438952


A record-setting 80,103 packed inside Detroit’s Ford Field Sunday night, though millions of WWE fans around the world will forever remember WrestleMania 23 as one of sports-entertainment’s greatest moments. Now detouring from the Road to WrestleMania, Raw rolls ahead to Dayton, Ohio Monday night. But where will this path lead its Superstars?

Traditionally, the first Raw after WrestleMania makes for one of the year’s most exciting evenings in sports-entertainment. This Monday night will be no exception, though it also promises to be one of the most tense-filled in Raw history, thanks to WWE’s new Chairman of the Bald. WrestleMania’s Battle of the Billionaires ended very badly for the now-hairless Mr. McMahon, so Raw’s Superstars are well advised to stay out of his crosshairs when he crops up in Ohio. There’s no telling what he’s capable of doing tonight, but after Sunday’s “shear” embarrassment, it’s guaran-damn-teed that no one—not the Superstars, the WWE fans, or any barber shops operating within the Buckeye State—is safe from “Mr. McMadman’s” hot-headed backlash.

Shawn Michaels put forth a WrestleMania performance only a Showstopper like him could deliver, nearly reaching WWE’s highest mountaintop once more. But the Heartbreak Kid would know exactly that come the final result, as John Cena successfully defended the WWE Championship Sunday night by forcing HBK to tap out in the STFU. Both Superstars will be on hand at Dayton’s Nutter Center tonight, and both are still the World Tag Team Champions. But can they still co-exist with the titles? Hell, after what transpired at WrestleMania, can they co-exist in the same state?

Playboy cover girl Ashley nearly stripped the Women’s Championship from Melina during WrestleMania’s Lumberjill Match last night. However, the A-list Diva barely scored the cover to retain the title, then exited the ring amid Lumberjill pandemonium. Raw rolls out the red carpet once again for the primal screamer this Monday night, but will paparazzi snap any photos of her next challenger in the Buckeye State?

Raw embarks on a new Road to WrestleMania this Monday night, starting at 9/8 CT on USA Network!


Well... This is suppose to be the biggest Raw of the year coming off of 'Mania so we shall see what happens

Spoiler:

Cena wins.

How many people in Ohio will be watching anyway, considering OSU is gonna <s>lose to</s> play Florida tonight? :lol: :shifty:

McMahon-handled, Shear Dominance, Mane Event. These guys are killing me.

Tomorrow it will be "John's Cena-nough with HBK."

Anyone else think Cena and HBK drop the Tag Belts tonight?

We've been saying that since they won the titles.

I guess just getting my hopes up again I suppose.

Start of Raw:

Highlights of Wrestlemania.

Cena comes out and says "The Champ is Still Here"

HBK will come out and they will exchange words.

The Coach will come out and book them in a match for the tag titles.

i just dont see any tag teams that they will let go over right now. I mean WGTT? no Cade/Murdoch? no RKO? no. Just curious who they do finnally drop them to.

Umaga and Khali

:shifty:

I really hope they don't read these boards. just for that very idea. cause you know they would use it without hesitation

If they are having a tag title match, they'll keep them. Next week they are in my neck of the woods and they are advertising Cena/HBK vs. Edge/Orton.

Subject to change. Of course.

Well if anything they would be a dominate tag team.

Evening all.

wow never realized how off the board clocks are. about 10 mins behind.

Good evening, fellas.

And here we go fellas.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Mixed reaction again.

god damn it. your gonna be right. its starting already.

When did it become cool to boo Cena again?

It's nearly as boring as he is.

BOOOO!

would you start talking already?

Go ahead. Say it you dumb bastard.

Cena was one half of a very good match last night, yet still gets no respect. I'm no Cena mark, I hate the character (the man himself busts his ass for the company, so he's cool with me) but he doesn't deserve the sheer hatred he elicits.

lol Kids/Women cheers vs Guy's Boos

LOL GOD

Just as plan lol

HOLY HELL MASSIVE BOOS ON CENA

I love it,

Didn't take long, did it?

I only missed the Still part.

I swear King if coach comes out...

BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!

KICK HIS HEAD

C'mon HBK... full on heel... do it! Do it!

HBK Heel turn??

Shawn :love:

BROTHER BROTHER BROTHER
