March 15, 2004 Raw Preview: Wrestlemania Aftermath
​

Last night WWE had the biggest event in it’s history on the biggest stage in the world. It all began again as Wrestlemania was held at Madison Square Garden. Less than 24 hours later, Raw is live March 15 from Continental Airlines Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Witness the aftermath of Wrestlemania.

WWE.com has learned that Chris Jericho will host the Highlight Reel on Monday Night Raw with two major guests. Y2J will talk to the man that beat him last night, Christian, and the woman who betrayed him, Trish Stratus.

Mr. McMahon will be present and has a major announcement he has to address with the entire WWE audience. The announcement, he says, will affect the future of the WWE forever.

There is a new World Heavyweight Champion on Monday Night Raw. Chris Benoit who has battled for this moment for a long time is finally on the top of the Raw roster as he defeated Shawn Michaels and Triple H, whom he made submit. What will Chris Benoit have to say about his recent victory, and will Triple H or the rest of Evolution do anything to get revenge?

Don’t miss what should be a very important event in sports entertainment. It all happens live on Raw at 9/8 CT on Spike TV!

March 18, 2004 Smackdown! Preview: The End of an Era​

Join Smackdown! from Boston, Massachusetts for the fallout from Wrestlemania XX! John Cena overcame a huge challenge on Sunday where he defeated the Big Show and won his first championship in the WWE, the United States Championship. What will be his reaction to the biggest win in his young career?

Eddie Guerrero is still the WWE Champion after Wrestlemania even though Kurt Angle has claimed he is not fit to be the top champion of the brand. Latino Heat is still on top, but Kurt Angle still thinks he is a better representation of a champion for the Smackdown! brand and that he will get the championship off of Eddie Guerrero.

He may not get a chance to though! Mr. McMahon made a major announcement on Monday night that will change Smackdown! for the future. A lottery which will happen throughout next week will end this era of Smackdown! as the roster is shaken up. This could mean the end of friendships, tag-teams, and possibly...championship reigns. Tune in to Smackdown! to see how the Superstars react as the week of change nears.

Last week, General Manager Paul Heyman asked man-to-man asking the Superstars of the Smackdown! locker room to defend the brand from getting invaded by Raw Superstar Stone Cold Steve Austin. Paul Heyman was betrayed, however, by the Superstars as they turned their back on Heyman and allowed Stone Cold to not only get his ATV, but also attack Brock Lesnar and Stun Paul Heyman! Has Paul Heyman lost control of what he claims is “Paul Heyman’s Smackdown!”? How will Paul Heyman react this week to what occurred? Will the announcement of the draft lottery affect anything? Find out this week on Smackdown!

Tune in to watch all of this, and more, play out on Smackdown! at 8/7 CT on UPN!
