1/22 WWE Raw: Preview of Monday Night’s Show

This week’s Raw will be live from the Cajundome in Lafayette, Louisiana.  It has been three years since the last Raw TV from Layfayette. 

There was a sentence in the official WWE.com preview this week that I found amusing:  “With only one stop for the Raw Superstars before the Royal Rumble blasts into San Antonio, Raw will continue to raise the bar in sports-entertainment action this week…”

Raise the bar?  It must be an awfully low bar.  Or else that Rosie/Donald match was written in a bar.  Nonetheless, here’s what the preview at WWE.com promises for your sports entertainment pleasure Monday night:

Still standing?

WWE Champion John Cena will defend his title against Umaga in a Last Man Standing Match at the Royal Rumble. The Last Man Standing Match has no rules except to beat your opponent so severely that he is unable to answer to a 10 count.  Armando Estrada still claims that Cena’s win over the previously undefeated Umaga at New Year’s Revolution was a fluke, and chose a match that would allow no fluke victories. After the contract was signed cementing the match, Cena laid out both Umaga and Estrada. Will Estrada and Umaga try to get the upper hand on the final Raw leading into the Royal Rumble?

Rumbling towards San Antonio

Five spots still remain in the Royal Rumble Match; will any Raw Superstars join the 25 Superstars already announced?

Join us here at WorldWrestlingInsanity.com Monday night for ongoing coverage of the show beginning at 9:00 p.m. (ET).
