Mounting tensions September 1, 2008
Though SummerSlam was just weeks ago, there is only one thing on the mind of WWE Superstars: Unforgiven. With a Championship Scramble set to feature five of Raw’s most powerful and intense competitors, tensions are running high.
That heat just might explode on Raw as the five Superstars meet early in a Raw Battle Royal. World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk, new Scramble Match addition Rey Mysterio, JBL, Kane and Batista will all be in the ring, searching for a way to grab an early advantage heading into Sunday's pay-per-view. Who will be the man left smiling after Raw and bringing momentum to the World Heavyweight Championship Scramble Match at Unforgiven?
Another pre-Unforgiven meeting takes place as well, as Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho ink the contract for their Unsanctioned Match. This signing will be the first time these Superstars have been in the ring with each other since Y2J left HBK's wife in a world of pain. Will The Showstopper have a few words for his Unforgiven opponent just days before their contest?
Also on Raw, Randy Orton plans to make a special appearance to address the title holders on Raw. Orton is a former three-time World Champion, himself. What message will he deliver to the current champions?
In addition to having four opponents at Unforgiven and a Raw Battle Royal, Rey Mysterio may have more to battle. After General Manager Mike Adamle announced that John Cena’s recently sustained herniated disk in his neck would prevent him from competing in the World Heavyweight Championship Scramble, he replaced Cena with Mysterio. But Mysterio has been missing from Raw for months, due to a brutal attack by Kane, if the Big Red Monster is to be believed. Will Mysterio be in good enough physical condition to compete at Unforgiven? And what type of mental state will the Ultimate Underdog be in?
Last Monday night, Raw’s resident golden couple, Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella and Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix, had a brief lovers’ spat, due to Santino distracting Beth during a match against Kelly Kelly and The Glamazon’s subsequent loss. While “Glamarella” appears to have reconciled, could this signal a rocky period for Santino and Beth?
For the answers to these questions and more, make sure to tune into Monday Night Raw at 9/8 CT, back on its regular channel, only on USA Network.

::)It's funny how Shawn Micheals says his wife is tougher than Y2J, when it's already been proven she cant even take a punch.

Isn't the point of an unsanctioned match that it's not condoned by WWE? Why would there be a contract signing for it?

I'm sure that there needs to be an official contract signing stating that the match is unsanctioned...kind of a waiver on WWE's part. You know, "by signing below you absolve World Wrestling Entertainment from all liability," etc. etc.

I want to see Orton get cheered when he makes his entrance, but then give a bad ass heel promo.
Something like Triple H did in late 2000.
"I came out here..to thousands of people cheering me..loving me. but for every cheer I heard, it made me wanna puke."

Rey's booked but it says 'Will He Show Up?' so I don't think he'll turn up tbh.

Wow, Raw looks pretty good tonight. I just prey Punk loses the Battle Royal, that way he most likely will win on Sunday
