Live Discussion: RAW 4/7/2008

Announced for Raw - Highlight Reel with HBK & Batista.

This should be an interesting feud with HBK probably playing the heel role although not clear cut. The perfect scenario would be for Ric Flair to come back as a special ref and turn heel on HBK by screwing him over and becoming Batista's manager but it looks like he doesn't want to have an on-air role. I think Batista may get traded to Raw when they have a draft as he has feuded with everyone on Smackdown and may need a change to freshen up his character. They could do another Batista/HHH feud or have him go against Orton (former Evolution teammate).

Actuelly I would think Batista would be playing the heel in this, that's just the way it seems to be coming off right now, I could see him being drafted back to Raw, but reall don't want to see another Trips/Tista feud, the last one was horriable, and Flair should not come back and ref the match, he should stay away for at least 6-7 months before even appearing on WWE tv again

Flair is not coming back for a while if ever, I think everyone knows that. I think it is possible that we will see Batista get traded to Raw, it would make sense because there is nothing left for him on Smackdown! On Raw he could have some fresh fueds, HBK, Cena, Orton, Y2J to name a few, it would just make sense and I hope it happens. It does seem that Batista is playing the heel role in this, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ended portraying the both of them as faces, a respect thing.

I could see Batista coming to Raw. Maybe Umaga would go to Smackdown and start some new feuds for him. As for tonight's Raw, they need to lay the ground work for the dirstion they will be heading for the spring and summer months ahead. I expect the WWE title match to be either of these three: Triple Threat of Orton, Triple H and JBL, Fatal Four Way: the mentioned three and Cena or a one on one match of Orton and someone we wouldnt think.

 

[Cage917r]

There really isn't anybody else for Orton to go against besides HHH, Cena and now JBL, the draft will change that, but at this point, them are the three primary options, maybe Y2J, but that is unlikley.

Maybe Umaga would go to Smackdown and start some new feuds for him.

Umaga is going to Smackdown, that has been a given for months now, there is nothing left for him on Raw.

 

[Lil Wes]

Edge and RKO need to switch as well.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Edge going to Raw? That'd suck. Orton going to SmackDown? That'd probably mean Taker to Raw if the two champions switched again. It'd rock.

Edge going to Raw would mean more people would get to see him, with SD! switching channels to a channel a lot of people don't even get and all

 

[Uncle Sam]

Edge going to Raw would mean immediate severe bitchslaps from Cena and Triple H before sitting in the upper midcard for the rest of his (Raw) career. No thanks.

 

[Cage917r]

So why would you ship Orton to Smackdown for less people to see him, I mean the Orton Era is here, he needs to stay on Raw!

 

[Lil Wes]

Edge = Draw so it would be good for him to get on RAW, and have more feuds. He's ran his course on SD just like Orton has on RAW.

 

[justinsayne]

Move Triple H and Cena to SD!, or at least one of them

 

[Cage917r]

I have no problem with bringing Edge back to Raw, but not at the expense of Orton.

 

[Lil Wes]

Meh, Orton's ran his course on RAW. Time for a change.

 

[Cage917r]

Ran his course? His title reign has just officially been justified, he just finally received his big win, received his official push as monster heel, there is so much more for him to do and on Smackdown he will be killed by Taker, keep Orton on Raw.

 

[Lil Wes]

That's BS. His reign has been phenomenal, I understand but in reality it will end soon, it's obvious. Probably at Backlash, if they keep him around afterwards the only feud he really has left is Triple H and we all know he'll end up buried and dropped back down to the mid card.

I'm all for keeping Orton on RAW, but I'd rather see Edge on RAW and Orton on SD, just for my entertainment purposes.

If Orton went to SD!, then Taker would most likely come to RAW, so Taker/Orton won't happen they'd still be on different shows cause WWE isn't going to put the top two titles on the same show

 

[Uncle Sam]

Just switch the champions. Chuck maybe Kennedy and a couple of others on SD as well, give Edge some people to feud with before a big Orton feud. On Raw, Taker could finally have that feud with Michaels, as well as waste time with Cena and Triple H.

 

[Lil Wes]

Meh, leave Kennedy on RAW. If he's going to become that big time player, he needs to do it on the big show. All that has to happen is a face turn, and RAW would be the place for it later in the year.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Hold up...during my slumber, was a draft announced??? lol

 

[Lil Wes]

21st of april

 

[Souls On Fire]

Triple H needs to be involved in the title picture so Orton and JBL can kep their heel status. For the life of me i hope they take Cena out of the picture. He lost at No Way Out and He lost at Wrestlemania that should immediately be reasoning to pull him from the tiltle picture I'd actually like to see him go into a decent feud with Kennedy as i think his time has come to start climbing the ladder remember he actually caused Cena's injury I think Cena should run a promo about how he deserves another shot but out comes Kennedy to remind him who really put him out of action for months could turn into the feud of the summer. Also i think a Trips JBL feud can come out of a 3 way between them and Orton i just hope that Orton retains. Hopefully something will come out of the intercontinental title picture tonight...jericho/carlito...jericho/marella...maybe even bring Charlie Haas back to raw from Heat he has looked impressive in his matches and can be thrown ino the picture as well would make a decent mid card and give some credibilty back to the title with all of them going after it. oh and PLEASE more Tag matches there is hope to saving that division.

21st of april

OH SHIT...for reals?? THE monday before Backlash???


thats gonna make my live show all cwazy. lol

 

[Lil Wes]

Never mind. I think it's the Monday AFTER Backlash.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

o. damn. ok lol

 

[Cage917r]

Not to point out the obvious, but Cena did not loose at No Way Out, he won by DQ!
