05/12 WWE RAW: Mallory's Preview of Monday's Show
By Mallory Mahling
This week Raw will be live from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan. Raw is currently on the bumpy road to Judgment Day, which is coming up in little more than a week. Didn't they just have a PPV? Oh well. . . Here the official preview from WWE.com to refresh your recollection of last week's Raw…at least the parts that weren't blacked out: Judgment Day will be only six days away when Raw returns from north of the border this Monday night, and the Raw Superstars will have one last chance to gain momentum inside Detroit’s Joe Louis Arena. Detroit may be Hockeytown, U.S.A., but this Monday, it could become Blackoutville. For two consecutive weeks, General Manager William Regal has pulled the plug; first, he took Raw off the air two weeks ago in the middle of a Triple H vs. Randy Orton WWE Title Match, and last week, he turned the lights out as Orton battled C.M. Punk in Toronto. Regal has shown that he has no qualms about taking Raw off the air if he is disrespected, and WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon. Will our fans in Detroit make it through the full two hours uninterrupted? If they don’t, will those in attendance at “The Joe” shower Regal with the signature squid usually reserved for celebrating a Red Wings hat trick? Orton and Regal’s number one enemies, WWE Champion Triple H and Mr. Kennedy respectively, did make it through their match last week. Unfortunately, they lost, as Kennedy & The Game had to do battle against the entire ECW roster. To make matters worse for Triple H, he survived a wild post-match melee only to be flattened by an RKO from his Judgment Day opponent. On the way to their Steel Cage showdown, who will get the last laugh? And will Regal throw anything more at Kennedy in response to his besmirching several weeks ago? Also last week, two new matches were made for Judgment Day: JBL vs. John Cena and Chris Jericho vs. Shawn Michaels, which was announced in a WWE Mobile on AT&T exclusive video. The battle between Y2J and HBK has been heating up ever since Michaels’ win over Batista at Backlash. Jericho has accused the Showstopper of faking an injury to win that match; whether he is or he isn’t, HBK’s injury didn’t stop him from teaming with Y2J to defeat WWE Tag Team Champions The Miz & John Morrison last Monday night. With less than a week left before their pay-per-view battle, how will Jericho and Michaels finish their preparations? As for Cena and JBL, they have taken different roads since Backlash – where the media maven says “The Champ” humiliated him during the Fatal Four Way Match. While Cena has kept a low profile, JBL has taken out his aggression on the likes of Highlander Robbie and D.H. Smith. Will the Chain Gang Soldier make it back to Raw to rebut JBL’s words and actions, or will the Longhorn Loudmouth have to find another unsuspecting victim?
