RAW rolls into Rock's favorite town named Cleveland in Ohio with less than three weeks until WrestleMania 28 in Me-ah-me. Last week The Rock and John Cena's Boston voice once again dueled on the mic, with the consensus being Cena out-did 'The Great One' once again. This week, though, RAW hopes to attract viewers of The Voice on NBC by having Rock perform live in concert and Cena rap. Both have had infamous moments when spittin' fresh to deff lyrics on the mic, but hopefully for Rocky, Goldberg doesn't chase him out of the ring and end the concert this time.
Lost in all the hoopla of Rock-Cena and HBK-HHH was Chris Jericho pinning the WWE Champion CM Punk. Jericho teamed with World! Heavyweight! Champion! Daniel Bryan, the man with undeniable sex appeal as he said on Friday to face each others WM opponents, CM Punk and Sheamus respectively. Punk almost had Jericho's shoulders to the mat, but Jericho was able to leverage Punk into a pinning predicament that earned he and Bryan the victory. Jericho and Punk still claim to be the Best in the World at what they do, but what measures will both men take tonight to ensure they're less wrong than the other guy when they say it?
Shawn Michaels will become the only man in WWE history to have competed in the Elimination Chamber and Hell in a Cell matches and also be the referee in them at WrestleMania 28. HBK will be the Guest Referee for the Undertaker vs. Triple H Hell in a Cell match, which will reunite the three men with the hellish structure for the first time since the first Cell match at Badd Blood 1997. WrestleMania 25 & 26 opponents Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker will be in the ring at the same time tonight, which means a whole lot could happen between those two and possibly Triple H, as well.
Just announced was that at WrestleMania 28, Teddy Long and John Laurinaitis will each select six wrestlers for a 12-man tag team match. The hook is that if Mr. Excitement's team wins, he will become the GM of both RAW and SmackDown, but if Teddy Long wins, he will be able to run both brands. The heated rivalry between the two GM's has sucked in many people, so who will land on each man's team of six? Will either GM do what Johnny Ace loves to do, which is be "unpredictable" and pick a surprise name for their team? Maybe Michael Cole defends his undefeated WM streak along with five others on Team #BigJohnny?
Randy Orton and Kane continue their feud over.....something, I guess. Big Show is likely going to see another embarrassing WrestleMania moment of his tonight, courtesy of Show's WM28 opponent and the IC Champion Cody Rhodes. Zack Ryder's been fist pumping all week over the head Hoeski in command Eve Torres kissing him, but will the banged up Broski realize Eve's just using him as she's been saying she did for weeks now? Will Cleveland's own The Miz find his way on to WrestleMania tonight, or will he continue to watch his career spin out of control? What awaits fans when actor James Roday of USA Network's Psych guest stars on RAW?
All of that and much more, live at 9pm/8c, only on USA Network.

The Hurricane needs to be added to the Cena/Rocky match.

This will, I believe, be The Rock's first return trip to the Land of Cleve since 2003. I was there then, and I'll be there tonight. Except this time, the Hurricane won't beat The Rock.

I hope they give a good amount of time for Punk and Jericho to build their feud further.

First Raw in a while that I will miss for work, and it's the first one in a while with something I am legitimately looking forward to, and that's The Rock Concert. Oh well, I can catch it on WWE.com afterwards, I'm sure.

Great write up with some cool trivia  I'm rather looking forward to Raw like I have for every Raw this year. Since Kane returned it's had a classic feel to it again that I can't explain. I get the same buzz i'd get in 03/04. |

HBK/Taker confrontation will be amazing. Looking forward to Rock Concert III as well.

I've enjoyed everything that we've seen from CM Punk and Chirs Jericho thus far, but we need more. We need more focus on the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania, they need time to build up this match for the feud to heat up even more, last week was Cena/Rock overload looking back.

I'm highly expecting Cena to destroy the Rock. Jericho to get the edge over CM Punk again. Shawn to super kick Undertaker. Sheamus to interrupt one of Bryans matches as usual. and in my dreams, Christian to be on Raw when Johnny Ace announces his team

Nice write up my Bro!
So are we getting Taker, Trips, and Shawn tonight? I seriously think Taker needs to be there tonight. I want more of him and Trips spouting off or even Taker and Shawn going at it.
Rock's concert will be interesting... But personally I'm looking forward to Cena "rockin'" the joint with his music rather than Rock's out of tune guitar work.
We have the "Best's" in the world tonight, hopefully another awesome promo, more cheap shots. This build is great so far, but something still feels like its missing from it. Not sure what though.
GM vs GM.... I mean seriously.... How many times has T-Low been fired SmackDown?
I like the idea of the match, I'd love it, if it were an elimination tag match. 12 dudes, one or two left standing on the victor team, with their respected GM holding up their arms in victory.
Maybe some Bryan and Sheamus action, seeing as we dont really have definite rosters or brands now, why wouldn't they be on Raw.
