[SMACKDOWN! BANNER COMING SOON]

Discuss weekly WWE shows RAW, ECW, and Smackdown!

This week, Raw emanates from the Tyson Event Center in Sioux City, Iowa.

Phenom to render a decision
As first reported by WWE Mobile Alerts, 2007 Royal Rumble winner Undertaker will open Raw this week by revealing which champion he will face at WrestleMania 23. At exactly 9/8 CT, The Phenom will render his grim decision live on Raw.

Last week, moments after Shawn Michaels and WWE Champion John Cena became the World Tag Team Champions, Undertaker rose up through the floor to stare down The Champ. Does the Phenom have his eyes on the WWE Championship? 

Trumped
Mr. McMahon was not pleased when Donald Trump won the WWE fans’ adoration by having buckets of his money dumped into the American Airlines Center. Will Mr. McMahon try to top the Donald? What does the future hold for these two rival billionaires?

Find out this and more on Raw this Monday night at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.

fatal four way... no, but what will happen is cena vs taker vs batista on raw... i think :Pserbsta69

Hopefully we have another good show tomarrow night. I hope Taker chooses to face Cena because that match looks alot better than him facing Batista.KevyR

QFT, this is easily the best of the three possible. Cena and Taker had one of my favorite WWE matches ever a few years ago (I believe at Vengeance).

Between Undertaker's decision and the continuation of the feud no one wants being the focus of the preview, I'm struggling to get motivated and excited for Raw.

I wonder if they'll have the Undertaker's opponent openly wet himself when he makes the decision or if they'll have all three show up and do it during his awe-inspiring entrance.  Or maybe Taker will use his mystic powers to have lightning strike the one he wants to face.

what if he picks the great khali on raw...afterall he just won the intercontinental championshipp last week... and i dont see khali conitinuing to challenge all those middle wight opponents, no offense to jeff hardyserbsta69

Khali didn't win the title, it was a count-out.

ohhh yeah :? wow my bad.

i just realised, i was playing halo and watching da match at da same time, got ocnfused maybe :?

It isn't a match spoiler per say. Something like "the ring ropes will be blue" could be a spoiler, surprisingly enough.bulletproofcow

Dude you totally just ruined RAW for me! Next time mark spoilers like that

Is Taker still entering?  I changed the channel after I fell asleep, woke up and he was still entering.  It lasted longer than 95% of matches on TV.

Are they even trying to differentiate Lashley and Lesnar anymore? 

Has anyone told Vince that Lashley isn't Lesnar with an extreme tan?

And was it my imagination or did Lashley get a fair number of boos?  I can say for certain his pyro got a much bigger reaction.

Tell me when its over.

Batista will make the Taker 15-0, just my thought.Pharoah103090

What the hell happened to Charlie Haas's hair?The_Dude14

He's black now didn't you hear?

Edge vs. HBk at WM could really work but WWE isn't that cool. So HBK vs. Cena and Edge vs. Orton IMHO

Also, the Paparazzi on Raw?  How the hell did WWE get Shelley and Nash on Raw?  What a coup?

God this is beyond annoying.  Has Balls even won a match since One Night Stand?  He's not a bad wrestler and is quirky enough to get over if given a shot.

It pisses me off that the only man who can stand up to Joemaga is Cena.

The best part was Balls's blocked low blow attempt.

ECW "Originals" record: 3-97.  All three wins by Sabu... over other ECW "Originals."  And RVD isn't an ECW "Original" in WWE's mind.  He is totally a product created by the WWE.

Surprisingly good little match between Mickie and Melina.  I've never (and still don't, really) think much of Melina in the ring, but it was still a pretty good job.  Also kudos to whatever they did during the commercial break to get heat on the match, it worked and to Crazy's cheerleading, crowd was way more into the match than they were for Crazy-Nitro.

Vince probably needs to do something soon, because this is getting dangerously close to being a good Raw.

I really liked the majority of what I saw tonight and enjoyed Raw and I don't even have to justify things with stuff like the last 5 minutes made up for the rest of the crap like normal.  The wrestling quotient seemed to be turned up and I enjoyed the switch, even when things weren't all that exciting (Lashley-Kenny).  The builds were pretty concentrated and handled pretty intelligently.  The No Way Out match comes with the added intrigue of whether either team will be able to get along and they really played into that well in the staredown.

They went the obvious routes with both main events.  No real problems with that.  Cena and HBK will be interesting and HBK seems very motivated, which will help, dramatically.  And I'm growing optimistic that Taker-Batista won't be as bad as I originally thought in my post-Rumble tirade.  However, if I were booking the show, Cena-HBK would definately close it out.  2 Face vs Face main events?

However, this "against all odds" **** is getting as annoying for HBK as it is for Cena.  How exactly will they manage to stack the odds against both men at 'Mania?

The stuff between Orton and Edge in the main event was the best part of that match (solid, but your typical WWE triple threat).  They might just steal the show at 'Mania regardless of how its booked.

Mickie-Melina and Flair-Hady over-achieved.  I'm really looking forward to seeing where they go with "grizzled old man" Flair.  He showed that he's still better than most of the roster in the ring and on the mic.  I just hope he doesn't die in the ring.  That day will suck.

Gotta wonder if its one of those "hidden message" dealies, though.  To Carlito or to the roster in general?

Vince limited himself to the 1st hour and I skipped both segments he was involved with.  Also, Vince vs ECW might have potential and I liked plugging ECW throughout.  I'd feel more comfortable, though, if Heyman were around.

I didn't see Khali

ECW's involvement represented the low points of the show for me.  Joemaga-Balls was annoying and Bobby Lesnar vs Kenny was boring.  Kenny going that long with Muscles McGee didn't exactly make Brock Lashley look too great either.  Needs more RVD.

Again, I enjoyed this show and this is the type of effort I'd like to see consistently on that ol' "Road to Wrestlemania."  However, I've got a bad feeling that the bubble will burst.  Next week looks like it will be all McTrump Power-trip Hour.

RAW was good overall, all of the matches were watchable and the same goes for all of the promos. But the highlight of the show had to come when Lawler said "I think Umaga is just playing with Balls".trick_man01

man ill tell u my predictions.

undertakers reign is over, he will lose at wrestlemania

cena will hold the gold

dats what i think :D
