What does WWE have in store for us coming off a solid PPV offering in Chicago? The burning questions for tonight's show:

-Who is John Cena's next challenger for the WWE Championship? Ryback has been disposed of and Cena will need a new competitor for Money in the Bank. Could it be the returning Rob Van Dam? Or the returning Mark Henry? The popular internet rumor is that Daniel Bryan is next in line.

-What does CM Punk have on his mind? Punk is never shy, and surely he will have a few things to say about what has taken place in his absence since Wrestlemania. Is he a babyface or heel? Will he continue his alliance with Paul Heyman? And who is his next feud?

-Will Rob Van Dam make an appearance? The package last night said he was returning at Money in the Bank, but the show tonight is in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which is less than an hour from Van Dam's hometown, Battle Creek.

-Who will be the competitors in the Money in the Bank matches this year? Presumably we'll get some of the participants either announced or qualified tonight.

-What is Mark Henry doing? His cryptic Tweets today indicate a possible retirement, but I think it's a work and he's actually coming after Cena.

I think we might be seeing a punk vs Axel fued. Punks not too happy about Heyman considering Punk "His Client" and not his friend.

MAIN EVENT: IC Champ Curtis Axel (w/ Paul Heyman) vs. HHH

(Announced by VKM last night)

Looking forward to a few MitB qualifiers and CM Punk's new direction...

:yes: I was going to ask if anyone had seen the clip online. Punk really does not like that Paul doesn't consider him a friend vs a client. Methinks they're building to CM Punk vs Bork Laser at Summerslam.

Payback felt like a big turning point for the summer - plenty to be explored on Raw tonight. I'll never discount the possibility of the WWE creative team dropping the ball, but it should be a good show. For me, it's certainly one of the most anticipated shows for a while. Exactly the kind of interest they need to generate during this time of year.

Should a lot going down tonight from Grand Rapids after last night's awesome PPV. I hope we get some MITB Qualfiers,maybe a #1 Contender's Match to set up Daniel Bryan challenging John Cena,the possible beginning of CM Punk's face turn. I too am happy that RVD is coming back and I about jumped through the roof seeing the promo last night.

Really intrigued about RAW tonight. I'm thinking/hoping the Henry retirement rumors are just a work and am eager to see what he's got to say/do. Very excited that Punk's back and curious to see what's going to happen with him and Heyman and who his first feud back is with. Curious about the ADR/Ziggler double turn and how that's gonna play out. Curious to see what happens with Ryback now (personally, I would probably stick him a bit lower on the card to really iron out the kinks in the heel character for awhile). Curious about the AJ/Kaitlyn feud. And wondering if the Wyatt Family might show up as soon as tonight.
Damn, they've got me pretty curious. :yes:

Ringo

This. Needs to come out in a car tonight for another heel promo. Preferably an open top with Ricardo and a couple of Latino babes sitting on the back seat.

Looking forward to Raw a lot tonight. My favourite wrestler returning and teasing retirement. Hopefully more great stuff from Dolph and ADR cementing their turns. Interested to see what Big E and AJ will do because although they are both likeable faces I can't see WWE going with a face stable. Perhaps both turning and aligning with ADR could work. What's next for Cena, Ryback, DB, Orton, Sheamus, Axel and The Shield? I imagine most will be moving onto something new tonight. Christian is due back soon. Potentially the debut of the Family. But it might be too soon for that.

EDIT: Just realised I should have just quoted mth's post. :p

June 17th, 2013, 5:29 PM
Oh yes, ADR definitely needs to come rolling out in a car, honking in celebration. Confetti, balloons, mariachi band, the works.

Badger
June 17th, 2013, 5:29 PM
They may do another fiesta for Del Rio, only this time it'll be more heelish.

Brock avec sombrero will bring back his mariachi band. Okay that's just wishful thinking on my part.

Funboy
June 17th, 2013, 6:29 PM
shame it took him so long to become the beast we know and love today. one of the best things in Orton's career to date was solidifying Big Mark as a proper threat.

I'm catching up on Payback now - it has been great so far (on the tag match) and I will hopefully finish in time for Raw. I'd love Wyatt Family to turn up. Fully expecting Bryan to steal the show *again*

The Law
June 17th, 2013, 6:33 PM
The main news page seems to suddenly be under the impression that wrestling is real. They report it as a fact that Mark Henry is retiring because of a cryptic Tweet that suggests he might be retiring. And they report that Dolph Ziggler "is not cleared to wrestle" based on a kayfabe article on WWE's website. Nobody gets worked easier than a "smart" wrestling fan.

Mr_Nobody
June 17th, 2013, 6:34 PM
I believe Mark Henry will come out, announce his retirement, and then Bray Wyatt and the Family come out and decimate him. It gives Mark Henry even more time off (which he has apparently requested in the past). Plus it gives The Family a big debut, and Mark Henry can come back in a few weeks (Summer Slam) to take on Bray Wyatt.

I said in the PPV thread, for me it'll be Ryback, sets up a nice Summer feud between the two with big Mark getting a strong face run before he retires.

chatty
June 17th, 2013, 6:52 PM
I wouldn't count out a Wyatt Family attack on Cena yet. They like having new monsters to decimate but they have also been smart with the upcoming talents lately (except Bo). I wouldn't mind too much either cause Bray has lackeys who can take the loss for him.

Bryan/Cena makes more sense for SS imo, he still needs to fully break from Kane and I'm expecting a feud with Orton before Cena happens.

I'd like for Punk to still be a heel and slowly turn him if that is the plan. They can have him refuse cheating opportunities that Heyan puts his way and build discontent with him and Axel leading to whenever brock next decides to show up.

I got no idea what the plan is with Vince and HHH but you would think its leading somewhere. Vince is acting all heelish again and I can see some form of old school Vince deviousness coming back into play.

On the other hand, I am beyond tired of "Guy A comes out and talks, gets interrupted by Guy B, and then GM comes out and makes a match" starting the show. WWE has been structuring their show the exact same way since 1997. It's time to give something new a try.

Guessing it'll be at least 2 weeks until he debuts as I think they will add a NEXT WEEK to the vignette a week in advance. That would be fine but hopefully it'll be an impromptu debut interrupting/attacking someone rather than "after the break bray wyatt debuts against zack ryder".

In NXT The Wyatt Family doesn't wrestle as a three man team. It's Bray Wyatt as a singles competitor and Luke Harper and Eric Rowan as a brawling tag team. I think that will stay the same on the main roster.

Right, exactly. So they haven't been wrestling as a 3 man team...

Obviously all three are being called up, otherwise why would Rowan & Harper feature prominently in the vignettes?

But I'm saying that Wyatt is the main act here and the others are merely his followers (although both look cool/do a good job in their roles). It's not like they are equals like The Shield and will be wrestling as a trio.

Ah, I thought we were talking about whether or not the whole family would come up or just Bray.

No reason why they can't function as a trio if need be, with Harper and Rowan protecting Wyatt and taking all the big moves and shit as he sits in the corner, never tagging in.

Shades of gray... shades of gray. (especially after bad mouthing the other divas at the same time with the "don't interrupt me" bit? Even Vince RARELY used that to get any quick heat, particularly against the #1 contender on any particular part of a roster. If it was an undercarder, then he would use it).

Pointing out Christian has been medically cleared for a long time? .

If the month and a half he said is accurate, and I dont see why he would make it up, then thats not really as long as people have been acting (as if hes been cleared for months) , you have to consider he has been out for a long long time, and last time he came back he got re inured quick, better not to rush these things wouldnt you say?

Cesaro and Sin Cara makes sense, they would probably have good matches and they are about the same level.

...but it would bomb right now and you would be able to hear a pin drop during their segments.

Aren't many other foreign faces around right now (even Santino is inactive) but since this is more about Zeb's hypocrisy, racism and specific values - anyone Zeb doesn't consider a worthy American would work. Christian, as a Canadian, perhaps... R-Truth, being black, too much. Maybe he'll just squash people until Rey is back. :dunno:

Christian/Cesaro matches would be beyond wonderful though.
