4/23 WWE RAW: Mallory's Preview of Tonight's Show from London
By Mallory Mahling
This week Raw will emanate from London, England. Will Italy's Santino Marella be able to hang onto the Intercontinental Title he won last week? Or will some lucky fan from the U.K. be the next to make the title truly intercontinental? (Just a thought.) By the way, didn't there used to be a European Title? This would have been the perfect tour to dust it off. Here's the preview from WWE.com: Raw rolls into jolly old England this week as the WWE Superstars continue on their two week tour of Europe. With a new Intercontinental Champion and less than a week until Backlash, Raw’s London bash is sure to be a knockout. WWE Champion John Cena will face his WrestleMania 23 opponent and former tag team partner, Shawn Michaels, in a WrestleMania Rematch. These two talented Superstars have not squared off in the ring since Detroit, and their unresolved issues will certainly make this a memorable match. Will Cena be able to escape without HBK’s shoe print on his face? Santino Marella made history in Milan when he became the first WWE fan to claim the Intencontinental Championship, Mr. McMahon was furious with ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley for aiding Marella in his No Holds Barred Match against Umaga. How will The Chairman respond? What will become of this new Intercontinental Champion? The Great Khali will be in action when Raw rolls into London as well. Last week, a video aired showing just how dominant the Punjabi giant has been in WWE; who will be the unlucky one to match up with Khali in London? Also last week, Torrie Wilson won a Diva fashion show and was immediately attacked by Women’s Champion Melina, but Mickie James came to her friend’s aid and dropped the champion to spark a brawl. A match between Mickie and Melina was announced for Backlash later in the night; will the two Divas be at each other’s throats again on Raw just six days before they meet up at the pay-per-view in Atlanta? **Join us here at WorldWrestlingInsanity.com for ongoing coverage of Raw Monday night at 9:00 p.m. (ET).**
