Monday's RAW

[Madhatter1]

RAW this Monday could easily be the best RAW of the year (in May). So far the card is:

Intercontinental Title Match: (C)Randy Orton v. Edge

Steel Cage: Christian v. Chris Jericho

Triple H v. Shelton Benjamin

Batista v. Tajiri

Eugene v. Rob Conway

What is your take and perhaps your predictions for this upcoming RAW?

[12]

i am really looking forward to the jericho vs christian cage match, hopefully after this monday they can both move on but i doubt it

[Epitaph]

It's quite clear that RAW is going to be better than Judgement Day! Put it this way, We only seem to no 2 Match's for Judgement Day, One of which contains JBL, Who's in the Main event, They had 2 month's to build that show up and so far we no two match up's!

RAW On the other hand give us 5 PPV Quality match's and have built them up in a week!

Think about it, This is going to be better than Judgement day full stop, but also a action packed RAW

For some reason, I can see the faces sweeping the card on Monday...

[The Great One]

It looks to be an exciting show. I am looking forward to seeing all matches, but the notable one being the cage match. There should be a good wrestling in that match, should be exciting to watch. Eugene wrestling his first match should be good to watch also. Should be good to see who wins the Edge vs Orton match.

[The Kid]

I don't think that Triple H will job to Benjamin again. I think that it will end with Trips beating Benjamin by interference from Orton. That sets up their fued and helps Triple H maintain his credibility as a top heel. That being said I could also see Shelton beating HHH with the help of SHawn Michales.

I think that Eugene will win in what will be a very good match. These two are very familiar with each other from there time in OVW. There styles should mesh pretty well and from what I hear Dinsmore is a very good wrestler.

Christian vs. Chris Jericho will be a very good match and probably match on the night. My prediction is that Jericho will win in this match thus ending their fued so Jericho can get back into the title race. This match has to be layed out in a way that Christian gets in enough offence that after this match is over he seems credible and can get involved in another higher card fued possibly with somebody like Rhyno, if he can ever get off Heat.

Randy Orton's title defence against Edge will most likely be his last one in this turn as IC champ. I think that Edge will win the IC title so the WWE can have an angle like the Power Trip before Triple H got injured. Benoit has the Tag and World titles and Edge will have the IC and Tag titles. This could lead to some disention in the team where one of them wants to control all of the titles which leads to a heel turn by either one. I think that this will be a pretty good match.

Batista vs. Tajiri I can't see as anything more than a glorified squash. Tajiri will get in some early offence but I think in the end Tajiri will lose. I really can't see this match going too long and as a result appears to be the weakest match scheduled so far.

One question that I have about this Raw is with all of these big matches booked, where do people like Benoit and Michaels fit into this card.If they'd have enough time, I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch where Benoit makes HBK tap out to prove that he can beat him in a one on one match up, without the help of outside interference.

All in all I think that this will be a really good Raw which is looking a whole lot better than Judgement Day and is actually looking better than alot of the PPV's the WWE have been putting on lately.

I didn't see my tape of Raw till today and I'm kickin myself for waiting so long. It definitely hit the spot after the week I've been having as I was completely engrossed for a good hour and 30 min. The only criticsm I can even think to give it was the way Eugene's first match was handled. The way Bischoff and Regal were acting it made it seem like the only way he could lose was to screw him over. Conway seemed to have no chance at all.

raw was good, but not as good as i was expecting after seeing the card. but hey its 10 times better then smackdown
