Official Raw Thread (7-16-07): THE CHAMP IS BAAACK!
 

With The Great American Bash less than a week away, Raw will heat up the American Bank Arena Monday night with a series of confrontations.

Tonight on Raw, Randy Orton will face a Rhodes - but it will be Cody Rhodes, the son of "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. Last week, Dusty's youngest son angered the Legend Killer when he defended his father and slapped Orton across the face. Now, in his first match on Raw, Cody Rhodes will defend his father's honor. Will Orton have something up his sleeve and try to send a message one week before his Texas Bull Rope Match against the Dream at The Great American Bash?

For the first time since nearly being broken in half on Raw two weeks ago by Bobby Lashley’s spear, WWE Champion John Cena and the No. 1 contender will be back under the same roof. While away from Raw last week, Cena appeared via satellite and promised to address Lashley in Corpus Christi. What will The Champ have to say to his challenger as they head into their epic encounter at The Bash?

Another champion who will defend at The Bash is Women’s Champion Candice Michelle. The Candy-Coated Diva has been on an amazing roll of late, which includes winning the title from Melina at Vengeance: Night of Champions. Will either Diva gain any advantage just days before they face off over the championship? Can Candice continue to prove herself to be the golden Diva of WWE, or will Melina’s desire propel her to the top once more?

Find out the answers to all of these questions and more on Raw, Monday night at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

Fuck you you over-rated piece of shit.

Well looks like Bookers the first one to job lol

Cannot wait for Trips to get back. 3.5 second jobbing world record to Booker.

DAMN YOU BOOKER T!

Did he come out to Trips theme or something?

Yup

I'll be here for a few minutes to chat with you guys. Consider yourselves lucky.

Booker came out to the King of Kings theme.

Oh great, now we get Lawler in the ring? Yeah. Fuck booker.

BOW DOWN TO THE, BOW DOWN TO THE BOOK!

Booker T v. Jerry Lawler. Yuck.

:lol: Lovely stuff

Guess we're seeing Booker vs Lawler tonight.

Send Booker back to SmackDown. KThx.

Hell, send Booker to TNA. I don't fucking care, just never want to see him or this gimmick again.

I loved that opening with Booker using Trips music....I wonder if Triple H will feud with Booker T when he returns....

OK, Booker v. Lawler NEXT WEEK

Looks like we're in for a rough night.

I hate that sign guy

I love when he breaks character.

JERRY LAWLER, I'M COMIN' FOR YOU NIGGA!

They're hyping this Cena vs. Lashley match like it even fucking matters.

rofl - did anybody NOT see Booker fighting Jerry coming?

I would say that Flair sold his soul to put over Cena like that but I think that shipped sailed years ago.

I clearly did not see that coming, in fact that was the most shocking thing to happen in wrestling in a long time.

Is Santino sent back to OVW yet?

After this he might be.

LOL @ production miscue

where the hell did that pop come from?

I hope hes sent back soon. I despise this music.

Santino Marella's music is awesome.

Regal should win this.
