The Rabid Wolverine continued what has now been deemed "Benoit's Reign of Terror" last week. Benoit attacked The Hardy Boyz and Worlds Greatest Tag Team at the beginning of WWE RAW last week then told everyone his actions would speak louder than his words. Benoit then destroyed both members of Cryme Tyme backstage and to top it off Benoit wrestled Shawn Michaels in the main event. Benoit used a chair on Shawn Michaels bashing his knee in then locked on a Sharpshooter until Michaels was rendered unconcious. John Cena who is currently suffering from an injured arm due to Benoit tried to make the save but was taken down into a Crippler Crossface injuring Cena's arm even more. Benoit told WWE.com that his Reign of Terror will continue until he gets what is rightfully his...the WWE World Championship! Last week we saw Vince McMahon announce the main event for this weeks WWE RAW. That match will be The New Wave vs Batista and Bobby Lashley vs The Hardy Boyz vs The Worlds Greatest Tag Team! This have been heated between The New Wave and Lashley/Batista since the promotional split came into full effect and The New Wave became Mr. McMahon's new henchmen so to speak against Lashley. Batista helped Lashley beat The New Wave in a handicap match two weeks ago and since then tension has been at an all time high. Will this be the end of the war or simply a new chapter? Jillian Hall has said that she signed with the WWE as it is the only place for a women's wrestler to show her true skil. Jillian believes she deserves to be Women's Champion and this week on WWE RAW we will see Mickie James give her that chance as it will be Mickie James defending the WWE Women's Championship against Jillian Hall! All this and more on WWE RAW live this monday 9est/8ct only on the USA Network!

Benoit's heel run is going great and the new wave is also very interesting, loving the way things are going so far and the 'e would be my favorite brand so far. Really looking forward to the 4 way tag encounter and hoping either the new wave or WGTT walks out the winners. Keep it up as this is really good.

Who hates Benoit more?:The WWE RAW opening finishes and the show cuts backstage to John Cena standing beside Candice Michelle for an interview. Candice asks Cena his thoughts on Chris Benoit's Reign of Terror. Cena says that he doesn't get this angry usually but he is sick to his stomach with what Benoit is doing. Cena says it is one thing to want the WWE Championship but its another thing to destroy the entire WWE roster in the process. Cena says that he doesn't use this word often...but he HATES Chris Benoit and will be the one to stop the Reign of Terror. At this point Shawn Michaels walks up limping with his knee taped. Michaels tells Cena that if anyone hates Benoit...its him. Michaels says he will stop the Reign of Terror then he will become the new WWE World Champion! Cena and Michaels begin to argue and then they stop. Cena says that they both want Benoit gone and they should be working together. Michaels smiles and says he has a plan. Cena and Michaels then walk off together as WWE RAW cuts to commercial.Overall Rating: 92%WWE Intercontinental Championship Match: Umaga(c) w/Armando Alejandro Estrada vs Finlay:Almost seemed like Finlay's IC Title shot victory over Hardcore Holly was forgotten about but apparently not as the match happened this week. The end of the match saw Finlay go for the Celtic Cross. However when Finlay turned just before dropping Umaga we saw Estrada throw a cigar in Finlay's face. Finlay threw Umaga down to his feet then went after Estrada. Finlay punched Estrada knocking him off the apron. Finlay turns and Umaga goes for the Samoan Spike but Finlay ducks! Finlay picks Umaga up for the Celtic Cross but Umaga kicks down and catches Finlay with a school boy on the way down. Umaga hooks the tights for the 3-count at 6:40 retaining the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Finlay quickly got up after the pinfall and attacked Umaga. The two men fell out of the ring and Finlay began to beat Umaga all the way up the top of the ramp towards the curtain. They eventually got to the curtain and Umaga as a last ditch effort hit Finlay with a weak Samoan Spike. It still managed to knock Finlay down however and gave Umaga time to get backstage.Match Quality: 81% Crowd Reaction: 49% Overall Rating: 65%Benoit vows to continue the Reign of Terror no matter what:WWE RAW cuts backstage to Chris Benoit standing beside Candice Michelle.

Benoit says that he has one goal, complete domination...and the only way to accomplish that in this world is to become the WWE World Champion. Benoit says that Cena and Michaels can try all they want, but they will never put a stop to the Reign of Terror! Benoit tells Candice she better hurry up and leave him alone now unless she wants to be his next victim.

JTG showed heart and guts just by doing that but did not show any brains. The match was short and scary as Benoit mauled JTG. Benoit completely destroyed the young superstar beating him into the mat. Benoit finally ended it when he locked JTG in the Crippler Crossface. JTG tried to fight it but it only took a short 5 seconds to make JTG tap from the pain giving Benoit the win at 2:34.

Candice asks Batista about the main event and what he is going to do with no partner. Batista says that what happened to his partner, Bobby Lashley is a travesty and that fact that he isn't allowed to get a new partner for the match is unfair. Batista says that he's come to learn that life isn't fair though and he will walk through the curtains, to the ring and fight with everything he has to secure a title shot for him and Lashley. Batista says that The Hardyz, The Worlds Greatest Tag Team and especially The New Wave better be ready for the unleashing of the animal! Batista walks towards the entrance as WWE RAW cuts to its final commercial break.Overall Rating: 74%WWE World Tag Team Title #1 Contendership Match: Batista and Bobby Lashley vs The Hardy Boyz vs The New Wave(Ken Kennedy and Montel Vontavious Porter) vs The Worlds Greatest Tag Team(Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas):Fairly good match here with the obvious story being Batista trying to over come the odds as it was him alone against three other teams.

That video was f'n KILLER, dude.
I've considered ideas like that in the past, convinced they'd never work.
Raw overall was good, seemed a LITTLE light on wrestling, but I'm sure the big 4 way tag and freaking Umaga-Finlay(I suddenly want to see this match very badly) made up for it.

Great Raw. Love The stampede Bulldogs and hope they get a decent push and a nice Tag Title run. Benoit's Reign of Terror was good again but i just hope that you don't have HBK turn on Cena next Raw or the Raw after since It happened in real life and loads of other diaries i have read and i just think its stupid now.

That video was damn awesome, can't wait for the bulldogs to debut. The show was pretty decent, I am really continuing to love Benoits heel push. Im not real happy about Batista & Lashley earning the no 1 cont. but other than that a really good show. Can't wait to see more.

ECW On Sci-Fi this week is the aftermath of the ECW Barely Legal Pay Per View, the first official PPV under the new promotional split program. The event saw a lot of shocking things go down, Elijah Burke and Marcus Cor Von won the match against Rob Van Dam and Sabu when Burke managed to pin Van Dam after an Elijah Experience on a chair. Burke now has a title shot whenever he wants it! Burke says he will announce when that title shot will be taken on tonights episode of ECW On Sci-Fi. Will Burke go for the belt tonight and if not...when? To the shock of all the ECW fans and even many of the wrestlers we saw Johnny Nitro defeat CM Punk to become the ECW Television Champion. Punk told ECW.com after the event that Nitro may have won this battle, but not the war! Along with this we saw Colt Cabana and Too Cold Scorpio make their debut in ECW in a 4-way match also involving Stevie Richards and Val Venis. Colt Cabana got the victory and will face Johnny Nitro tonight on ECW On Sci-Fi! The Originals took title belts home as Tommy Dreamer and The Sandman beat Kevin Thorn and Matt Striker to become the ECW Tag Team Champions! After the match however we saw Thorn brutally attack both Dreamer and Sandman with a singapore cane. ECW.com caught up with The New Breed after Barely Legal and Elijah Burke told us that he was one step closer to taking over ECW and he was going to make sure the rest of the New Breed took that step as well. Burke told us that Thorn and Striker will become ECW Tag Team Champions in the near future, no matter what it takes. All this plus more such as "The Machine" Nick Dinsmore only on ECW On Sci-Fi, Tuesday night, 10est/9ct!

Elijah "The #1 Contender" Burke:"Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" ends as Elijah Burke is seen entering the ring with a microphone in hand. Burke stands in the middle of the ring once he has entered and begins to speak. Burke says he is out here with no New Breed because he feels in this situation he must speak for himself. Burke says that at ECW Barely Legal he became the #1 contender for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship and can take that title shot whenever he wants! Burke says that he may have told ECW.com that he would announce when he was taking the title shot...but he lied! Burke says that no one will know when he will take his shot until he does. Burke ends by saying "When I take it, you will be surprised and I will become the new ECW World Heavyweight Champion...until then I am Elijah 'The Number One Contender' Burke!" Burke leaves the ring as ECW On Sci-Fi cuts to commercial.Overall Rating: 81%Snitsky vs Nick Dinsmore:Pretty shocking match here as it became a usual to see Snitsky to destroy some one on ECW every week. However that was not the case tonight, infact it was the exact opposite. The match began with Dinsmore attacking Snitsky before he even got into the ring. From there we saw Dinsmore really just destroy Snitsky working over his leg until it seemed to be almost mush basically making sure Snitsky could literally not even stand to make a comeback. Dinsmore eventually goes for the Broken Machinery but can't get Snitsky up. Snitsky fights out of it and uses all he has to run into the ropes all while limping. Snitsky went for a big boot but Dinsmore ducked and Snitsky's foot came down to the mat hard. Snitsky was in pain and turned right into a Lariat from Dinsmore for the 3-count at 4:14.Match Quality: 73% Crowd Reaction: 42% Overall Rating: 57%CM Punk speaks:ECW On Sci-Fi cuts backstage to CM Punk standing beside Maria in the interview area. Maria tells Punk that she knows how he feels but now is his time to let the world know. Punk takes the microphone and says that at ECW Barely Legal he lost his chance to become the ECW TV Champion. Punk says the only reason he lost is because he got distracted by Melina and he has morals. Punk says he would never hit a woman. He says in the end, those morals are what caused his loss. Punk says that he can't change that but he can try to fix it. Punk says that he will become the ECW TV Champion and Johnny Nitro won't be able to do anything about it! Punk walks off as ECW On Sci-Fi cuts to commercial.Overall Rating: 80%Paul Heyman makes a match for tonights main event:ECW On Sci-Fi comes back from commercial with Paul Heyman in his office with Elijah Burke. Heyman tells Burke that he promised he would announce when he was using his title shot. Burke tells Heyman he doesn't care and that it will be a surprise. Heyman fires back by saying if he wants to play that way then Burke will have face "The Homicidal, Suicidal, Genocidal, SABU!" tonight on ECW on Sci-Fi! Burke yells saying that it is unfair and he should have the night off like original;y told. Heyman looks back and says "Sorry, I lied!" Heyman then tells Burke to get out of his office.Overall Rating: 89%ECW Television Championship Match: Johnny Nitro(c) w/Melina vs Colt Cabana:Pretty good match here for the ECW TV Title. Cabana surprised Nitro in the opening minutes as it seemed Nitro came in expecting an easy title defense. However Cabana showed his skill and took it to Nitro, but Nitro eventually managed to take a long advantage after a bit of help from Melina. The end of the match saw Cabana making a big come back after Nitro had missed the Picture Perfect Moment. Cabana went for the Colt 45 but Nitro fought it off and got his feet on the second rope. Cabana turned and Nitro jumped twisting and flipping in the air catching Cabana in a school boy on the way down. Nitro hooked the tights for the 3-count at 8:04 tor etain the ECW TV Title. Nitro and Melina celebrated with the ECW TV Title belt after the match as ECW On Sci-Fi cut to commercial.Match Quality: 80% Crowd Reaction: 68% Overall Rating: 74%The official beginning of a war:ECW On Sci-Fi comes back as Johnny Nitro and Melina are walking through the halls backstage cheering and drinking champagne as Nitro has the ECW TV Title around his waist. Nitro and Melina walk into the interview area where Maria is standing. Nitro asks Maria is she is gonna interview him. Maria says she doesn't want to and for him and Melina to keep moving. Nitro laughs and tells Maria that he knows her and Punk are dating. Nitro tells Maria that Punk will never win the ECW TV Title and all he'll have for the rest of his life is a peice of trash like Maria! Nitro and Melina laugh in Maria's face and Maria not able to control herself slaps Nitro. Nitro holds his cheeck then grabs Maria by the throat. Nitro throws her up against the wall and holds her there yelling. Nitro says that she is a peice of trash and just made a terrible mistake. Suddenly we see CM Punk come from behind. Punk blasts Nitro in the back and Nitro falls to the floor. Punk jumps ontop of the ECW Television Champion and begins to pummel him. Nitro tries to squirm away but Punk won't stop the beating. Security rush and pull Punk from Nitro. Nitro and Melina start to run to their locker room as Punk continually yells "YOU'VE JUST MADE THIS PERSONAL YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!!"Overall Rating: 82%Tommy Dreamer vs Kevin Thorn w/Ariel and Matt Striker:Pretty crazy brawl between these two as Thorn was trying to show that him and Striker deserved to be ECW Tag Team Champions instead of Dreamer and Sandman. Joey Styles on commentary said that The Sandman wasn't at ECW On Sci-Fi this week because he was suffering from a major concussion after the singapore cane attack by Thorn after the match at Barely Legal. The end of the match saw Tommy Dreamer knock Thorn to the ground with a wicked right hand. Dreamer then began climbing to the top rope but Ariel held his ankle. Dreamer managed to kick Ariel away and get to the top. However once Dreamer was standing on the top we saw Striker come from the side and pull his leg. Dreamer fell crotched onto the top as Thorn got to his feet. Thorn grabbed Dreamer by the head and pulled him out...Kiss of Death! Thorn makes the cover for the 3-count at 6:41.Match Quality: 85% Crowd Reaction: 71% Overall Rating: 78%The complete destruction of Tommy Dreamer:Thorn stands up over top of Dreamer after the bells rings. Striker gets into the ring and walks up to Thorn as Ariel pulls a table out from underneath the ring. Striker smiles at Thorn and the two New Breed members begin to beat down on Tommy Dreamer. Ariel unhinges the legs of the table and sets it up against the apron. Striker backs off to let Thorn put Dreamer through the table but Thorn looks at Striker. Thorn tells Striker to do it. Striker grabs Dreamer and throws him through the ropes. Striker goes to the outside and puts Dreamer on the table then gets up on it himself. Striker hooks Dreamer in a suplex then hooks Dreamer's left leg...Striker lifts him...A+ BUSTER(Fisherman's Buster) THROUGH THE TABLE! Striker gets up holding his back as it hurt him to go through it as well. Striker gets into the ring with Ariel and they raise their arms with Thorn. Dreamer is shown on the outside twitching and holding his neck as ECW On Sci-Fi goes to the final commercial break.Sabu vs Elijah Burke w/Marcus Cor Von:Fairly good match that was more of a handicap than a singles. Sabu began the match taking it full force to Burke who eventually left the ring to regain his composure. Sabu however was not willing to give Burke any rest and went outside of the ring as well. Sabu chased Burke and when they ran around a turnbuckle post we saw Sabu get hit with a brutal clothesline from Cor Von on the floor. From this point we saw Burke really just beat down on Sabu for much of the match. Each time Sabu tried to mount a comeback Burke would either put him away with something like an eye rake or we'd see Cor Von get involved somehow. It eventually got to the point where Sabu managed to begin a comeback but Cor Von grabbed him from the apron. Sabu and Cor Von began to fight as Burke came from behind on Sabu. Burke goes for a punch but Sabu somehow instinctively ducks it. Burke nearly hits Cor Von but stops himself so Sabu dropkicks Burke in the back who goes forward knocking Cor Von off the apron. Sabu made a big comeback eventually bringing a chair into the ring. Sabu went for the Triple Jump Moonsault however when he jumped to the top rope we saw Cor Von pull his legs. Sabu went down sitting on the top then bounced off rotating onto his neck. Cor Von tripped the ref and pulls him from the ring. Cor Von then got in as Burke picked Sabu up Burke holds Sabu for Cor Von who has grabbed a chair. Cor Von brings it behind his head as Rob Van Dam slides in the ring. Van Dam grabs the chair from Cor Von as the crowd cheers. Cor Von turns into a brutal chair shot from Van Dam. Burke lets go of Sabu and goes after RVD who throws the chair over Burke's head. Burke turns as Sabu catches it. Sabu throws the chair and hits Burke in the face as RVD leaves the ring. Sabu makes the cover and another ref runs down...1...2...3! Sabu gets the pinfall and victory at 13:56!Match Quality: 75% Crowd Reaction: 86% Overall Rating: 82%Match made for next week:Sabu rolls out of the ring to RVD. They begin to make their way up the isle as Cor Von stands and gets into the ring with Burke who is just getting to his feet. Cor Von and Burke look shocked as Sabu and RVD are jumping up and down in celebration. Suddenly we hear the ECW Theme Music and Paul Heyman makes his way out with a microphone behind Van Dam and Sabu. Heyman says it seems the war between these four men is never going to end! Heyman asks Sabu and Van Dam if they want a chance to make up for the loss at Barely Legal. Van Dam says he does and Heyman says that next week we will see Burke and Cor Von vs Van Dam and Sabu in a TABLES MATCH!

Good show. I kind of like the faces showing they can be just as ruthless as the heels when they need to be, and the table match next week should be great.
Dinsmore giving Snitsky a piece of his own medicine works very well too.

Nice ECW show and knowing Chucky I am convinced that there will be no shortage of a push for TJ and Harry... my only question is why did it take 3 RAWs

WCW Nitro brings you a war between the most powerful forces in the promotion this Friday night! Since WCW returned as part of the promotional split we have seen a war brew between The Undertaker and Rated RKO. The Undertaker has had to face a member of Rated RKO two weeks in a row. The first week facing Randy Orton and losing due to interference from Edge. The following week facing Edge and winning, but only due to a blatant DQ when Edge bashed The Undertaker with a chair. Eric Bischoff finally was fed up and ordered a handicap match for this weeks WCW Nitro, Rated RKO vs The Undertaker! Bischoff tells WCW.com that he actually considers the match a handicap for Edge and Orton as now The Undertaker has a chance to dominate both without keeping an eye out for interference. Bischoff also said that to add extra flame to the fire and give Undertaker even more motivation for destruction he has put in the stipulation told to the fans at the end of WCW Nitro last week. If Rated RKO win then whoever made the pinfall gets a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Title and the other member who did not make the pinfall will get an advancement to the semi-finals of the WCW United States Championship tournament! Speaking of the WCW United States Championship Tournament we will see The Great Khali vs Chavo Guerrero to see who will advance to the semi-finals of the tournament. The winner of this match will be #5 in the Semi-Finals of the tournament and depending on weather or not Rated RKO win the main event then Orton or Edge will be #6. Jamie Noble made a challenge to Billy Kidman for a WCW Cruiserweight Title shot. Kidman accepted the challenge and will defend his WCW Cruiserweight Championship on WCW Nitro this week! All this PLUS MORE! Including Paul London vs Dave Taylor on WCW Nitro this week, Friday Night 8est/7ct only on the CW Network!

ECW was great. Everything seemed good. Although maybe its just me but I lost interest in Nick Dinsmore since the beginning. Although he is better then he was as a intellectually- disabled person i still think his character needs something.
WCW looks good cant wait to see more of Taker VS Rated RKO. Khali better not get anywhere near that title belt. Khali is not a wrestler his an actor and so should not even be on the roster. I say release him.

Bischoff says that they need to be here tonight and they promised. Bischoff says "You already did this once! Now you're doing it again?! Fine! But you better be here for The Bash At The Beach!" Bischoff then hung up the cell phone and put his face in his hands looking very stressed.Overall Rating: 78%Paul London vs Dave Taylor:Pretty good match that was basically what you'd expect with Paul London trying to out quick Dave Taylor in the beginning of the match. However Taylor's sheer brutality eventually took London down and Taylor took a lengthy advantage. The end of the match saw London making his comeback and going for the 450 Splash but Taylor moves. London manages to land on his feet and Taylor comes behind pushing London into the ropes. Taylor pulls London back with an O'Connor Roll Up and hooks the tights. However London rolls through so he has Taylor in the O'Connor Roll Up and London hooks the tights for the 3-count at 8:42! London jumps out of the ring quickly and grabs his WCW Tag Team Title Belt.

There was a point where Rated RKO had a strong advantage over The Undertaker and looking to be on the way to an easy victory. However when each man went for a pinfall the other would stop it. It got to the point where The Undertaker was down and seemingly out in the middle of the ring as Edge and Orton argued with each other. As they argued we saw The Undertaker sit up and get to his feet. By the time Rated RKO noticed it was too late. Randy Orton charged into a big punch from The Undertaker and Edge ran into a hand on the throat. Undertaker threw Edge down with a Chokeslam and he rolled off to the side as The Undertaker had his way with Orton. Undertaker beat down on Orton with a series of punches, clotheslines and elbows until Orton was worn down. Undertaker hit Orton with a combo of punches in the corner then stepped back allowed Orton to stumble out into a Chokeslam! Undertaker slams Orton down hard with it but wants to inflict even more punishment. Undertaker picks Orton up on his shoulder and drops...TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! But Undertaker doesn't even go for the pin with that and that is when the end comes. The Undertaker picks Orton up and hooks him. Undertaker lifts Orton into a powerbomb going for the Last Ride. Edge begins to get up in the corner as this happens. Undertaker lifts Orton more above his head to deliver the move and as he does this Edge charges and hits Undertaker with a Spear! Undertaker falls back and Edge rolls out of the way. Orton comes down landing completely limp on The Undertaker. Edge is still in enough pain from the Chokeslam earlier that he can't make a move and because Orton is laid out over Undertaker the referee makes the 3-count at 13:51! Rated RKO win, Edge is in the semi-finals of the WCW US Title Tournament AND RANDY ORTON GETS A WCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE SHOT!Match Quality: 71% Crowd Reaction: 89% Overall Rating: 74%"WCW World Heavyweight Title Match...The Undertaker vs Randy Orton...NEXT WEEK!" -Eric Bischoff:Orton slowly rolls off The Undertaker as Edge gets to his feet. Edge seemingly not realizing that Orton got the cover and victory goes to pin The Undertaker but Eric Bischoff makes his way out to the top of the isle. Bischoff tells Edge to get up. Edge does so and Bischoff informs Edge that him and Orton have already won the match. Edge looks confused and Bischoff says that Edge's Spear caused Orton to land ontop of The Undertaker. While Edge was still dazed from the Chokeslam, Orton got the victory. Bischoff informs Edge that he is now in the semi-finals of the WCW United States Champioship Tournament and that next week...Randy Orton will challenge The Undertaker for the WCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!

Orton tells Edge not to be angry and to be happy that a member of Rated RKO could become WCW World Heavyweight Champion next week. Edge looks at Orton and simply says "Screw You!".

Nitro was pretty good this week. Taker and Orton for the World Championship will be good, the other two matches were alrite aswell. London beating Taylor at his own game was a pretty good idea, I like finishes like that. Add for more excitement.

ECW.com Reports:Gene Snitsky has been released from ECW, we wish him well in future endeavours. WrestlingObserver.com Reports:-Apparently Gene Snitsky has been released from the WWE/WCW/ECW promotion all together. The feeling is that his first match on ECW against Nunzio was not up to the standards that ECW had hoped for. It is said that Snitsky was to be given another chance but complained about being "squashed" so to speak by Dinsmore last week. Basically that was the final nail in the coffin and he was given his release. -Conflicting rumours surround The Great Khali. Some sources are saying that he will go to WCW Bash at the Beach and actually win the United States Championship other sources say he will not even be in the finals at WCW Bash at the Beach and will most likely be sent back down to developmental or released by the Pay Per View. -The Stampede Bulldogs are expected to make their WWE RAW debut at the Backlash Pay Per View. It is expected that they will face either The Hardyz or The Worlds Greatest Tag Team. -Apparently the Umaga vs Finlay match from WWE RAW was a test to see how a feud between the two would work. The feeling was a feud can come from it, but the crowd reaction was not what was hoped for. The feud will either not happen or something will be done to get the crowd more into it.

WWE RAW comes to you live this week on Monday night and brings you a main event of epic proportions as Shawn Michaels and John Cena defend their WWE World Tag Team Championships against the team of Batista and Bobby Lashley! Last week on WWE RAW we saw Bobby Lashley attacked backstage by The New Wave. Lashley was left beaten and seemingly unable to compete by the duo of Kennedy and MVP. Batista went into the 4-way tag for a shot at the WWE World Tag Team Championships alone. But Lashley showed his heart and guts when he made his way out to the ring to help Batista score the victory! Earlier that same night we saw John Cena and Shawn Michaels prove they can put their differences aside and be a team when it is needed. We saw them do just that and join forces last week to get revenge on Chris Benoit for the recent attacks. With all this in mind, the main event is sure to be a hard fought battle for the WWE World Tag Team titles! Speaking of Chris Benoit, when WWE.com caught up with him after the attack by Cena and Michaels he told us that it was a minor set back and the Reign of Terror will continue. Benoit said he will bring the Reign of Terror back up to full power this week on WWE RAW as he is laying down an open challenge to ANYONE in the WWE locker room to take him on. Candice Michelle will step foot in the ring on WWE RAW as her and Mickie James will team up to take on Jillian Hall and Victoria. Jillian firmly believes she deserves another shot at the WWE Women's Championship. Mickie said she could have it but the WWE Board of Directors decided that Jillian had to prove herself. It was decided that if the team of Jillian and Victoria can win this tag team match then Jillian will get a shot at Mickie and the WWE Women's Championship! All this plus more on WWE RAW live Monday night 9est/8ct only on the USA Network!

-Conflicting rumours surround The Great Khali. Some sources are saying that he will go to WCW Bash at the Beach and actually win the United States Championship other sources say he will not even be in the finals at WCW Bash at the Beach and will most likely be sent back down to developmental or released by the Pay Per View.
I really hope that he does get released it will be the best thing in this diary so far. Also Raw looks to be good cant wait for that. I hope you give the tag titles to Batista & Lashley so then they can lose them to MVP & Kennedy.

Hey, just writing this to let everyone know this diary is not dead. I've been really busy with school and we were told on short notice that we had to move out of our house. We just moved earlier today and are currently getting settled in the new place. I'm writing this from my laptop so once we get our actual computer set up i'll try to post an update.
Hope you understand and keep reading, thanks.
