DX is back as the road to Vengeance ends

June 19, 2006

For the first time since the Attitude era kicked off, the original D-Generation X is back. Shawn Michaels and Triple H were brought back together by the common cause of wreaking havoc on Mr. McMahon, and DX was reborn. The defiant duo disposed of the Spirit Squad on RAW, and after a few emphatic double crotch chops, Triple H capped off the night by mooning the Chairman.

What will DX have in store for Mr. McMahon and the Spirit Squad this Monday night when they make their first live RAW appearance since reuniting? If their history is any indication, one thing's certain - it will be unpredictable.

Also this week on RAW, one-half of the self-proclaimed Hardcore Champions, Edge, will go one on one with Ric Flair. Can the Rated-R Superstar soften up the Nature Boy for Mick Foley before Vengeance? Watch RAW to find out.

Last Tuesday on the premiere of ECW on Sci Fi, John Cena laid out Paul Heyman after a brawl between Cena, Edge and Rob Van Dam. Heyman later promised that he was coming to RAW and ECW would be coming with him. Just six days before Cena meets ECW's Sabu at Vengeance, will the former WWE Champion have to look over his shoulder for the extreme team?  

Don’t miss RAW for all of this and more Monday night at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.

I am really looking forward to this edition of RAW.

From the preview, it seems that the show will be packed up with lots of quality from the likes of seeing D-X back to their old tricks, ECW invading the show, and not to mention another round of Edge vs. Flair.

I am hoping that I do well in WWE Fantasy this week. I thought long and hard about my choices and I can't wait to see what comes out from it first after Monday Night RAW tomorrow.

I got a funny feeling that in the Flair/Edge match Foley will interfere and Cena will come to the aid of Flair. Then the ECW will have Edge and Cena right where they want them and will invade RAW...Total-KO

That's pretty much what I said.

Looks to be a good Raw, I hope DX is back to their old ways, that press conference for Vengeance was pretty nostalgic, but I liked it.

ECW coming to Raw will probly be the same old formula, like you others said, interfere in the Edge/Flair match or a Cena match.

Im also kinda interested to see what they do with Kane, I keep forgetting about this current storyline he is in. Possible Kane vs. Kane next sunday.

look out for big vis vs. haas and kane vs. kane announced for vengeance. MistaMike54

Like to see Haas smack around stupid Vis, tired of that lame ladies man thing he has going.

I don't mind the big vis segments..but I think RAW sent haas's situation down the toilet.

I always like Haas as the straight edge type of guy, either with benjamin or with Rico. Almost reminded me of Benoit with his focus'd fighting style and attitude.

Added to tonight, a tag team bra and panties match between Mrs. Billy Kidman and Maria vs Mickie James and... ya know... that one Vince McMahon seems to enjoy groping during wrestling match.

Why is it always the team with the hotter ones wins! Kotenks

it's cuz Shawn is a sexy boy.

That's pretty hilarious when you put it that way Dude! So it's going to be Torrie Wilson and Maria vs. Mickie James and Candice Michelle, for those who don't know what The_Dude14 was talking about.

I see most of you are excited for this show because of ECW and DX...but does anyone else feel a little fishy on what creative will actually do with the ECW guys? I'm also having a weird feeling about DX tonight, and the fact that the wwe might forget that in 6 days, rvd has a match with edge. MistaMike54

I can't speak for everyone else in the union, but personally all of that is in the back of my head. However, I have come to the conslusion that it is best not to think about that kind of stuff. It just seams to ruin the experience, for me, to pre judge what might occur. Then if things turn out good, you don't always give the show as good of a report as it might deserve.

well i always go into Raw thinking the show will suck, so when it does i won't feel like i expected it not to. but when it doesn't suck, it's a good time.

but anyways, Raw will suck tonight and i hope i do well in Fantasy.

Edge-Flair should be fairly decent...

Hopefully, will have some more promo goodness from Foley and/or Flair... And while I am on this thought, in sense, it is shame that this feud was no given the proper time it deserves...

Also, can we please give the handicap matches rest for while?

In addition, I am not really looking forward to this whole ordeal of John Cena vs. ECW, to say the least... it reminds of the Invasion days...and certainly does not do any favors for making ECW look equal to WWE...

Finally, imagine my nostalgia for Degeneration-X will begin to ware-off, once the initial feeling have passed, and I realize the effect of how much difference has occurred in the past 8 years.

Good start thus far, lets hope it only gets better with DX. I wonder if the Stephanie's being in labor is true (I'm suspecting it's one of DX's tricks, though).
Zork-Ness

i bet not being able to spell well is another one of their tricks :P

ok...watsecarlito_is_cool

please have more substance to your post. cuz as it is right now...it's just useless spam.

Was I the only one chanting "E-C-Dub" at my TV screen when the alien showed up and mimicked the McMahon walk?  That's called takin' it... to the... extreme!The_Dude14

no dude, Slim was taking it to the extreme.

*techno music in background*

So, is WCW going to be "reborn" on Nickelodeon or something?  WWE's "sliming" people now :roll:

Interpromotional matches for tomorrow will help my Fantasy.

Edge and Orton vs. RVD and Angle

Cena vs. Balls
