Major News For RAW Tonight - HBK Is Back!

The following is from WWE.com:

Raw hops the pond this week to visit Birmingham, England in what promises to be a bloody good show. But while the Superstars will be hopping the pond, their rivalries will remain firmly entrenched.

Chief among them: Randy Orton vs. Shawn Michaels and Triple H vs. Umaga.

Michaels stunned Orton when he returned from spending months on the sidelines and put him to sleep with Sweet Chin Music. What else does HBK have in store for the Legend Killer? And do his plans include Orton’s newly-won WWE Championship?

Meanwhile, last week, Umaga continued relentlessly punishing Triple H long after the bell had sounded in their Handicap Match pitting The Game against the Samoan Bulldozer & WWE Champion Randy Orton. After adding injury to insult, can Umaga really hope to leave Europe without feeling the wrath of The Game?

Two other Superstars who will be taking their rivalry across the pond are Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes. So far, the veteran Holly has bested the upstart Rhodes in two hard-fought, closely-contested wars. With the third time be the charm for Cody Rhodes?

In other action, Beth Phoenix made her Raw debut last week as Women’s Champion and ushered in the self-proclaimed “Era of the Glamazon” only to be embarrassed by former Champ Candice Michelle in a Six-Divas Tag Team Match. The Candy-coated Diva pinned one of the Glamazon’s tag partners to secure the victory and prove that she is still a force to contend with. Will the freshly-crowned Women’s Champion continue to devour her opponents? Or was last week’s hiccup a sign of things to come?

To get answers to these questions and more, tune in to Monday Night Raw at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

 

Shawn Michaels has made a Hall of Fame career out of overcoming adversity – every time you think HBK is down and out, he keeps coming back. In 1998, he thought his career was over after a debilitating back injury. However, four years later, he not only returned to the ring, but won the World Heavyweight Championship.

At Judgment Day in May, HBK’s career was once again in jeopardy when Randy Orton he gave him a severe concussion. But The Showstopper surprised everyone – especially Orton – when he returned to Raw on Oct. 8 and targeted the new WWE Champion.

Lots of fans have written me, asking if I have an email address for John Cena.  I told everyone NO, but thought if anyone out there has an email for Cena, maybe they could pass it along, since WWE isn't putting out a way to send Get Well greetings to John.

I truly think the RAW rating bombed last week because Cena will be out for a couple of months, major talent isn't on the show anymore and it has become boring.

Will HBK be able to bring the ratings back up?  Time will tell.  I don't understand why Sid Vicious or Chris Jericho hasn't been brought back yet, they are needed desperately.

I must be truthful, I have been watching Dancin' With The Stars now instead of Raw, but with Shawn back, I will watch Raw again.

Please if anyone has an email for me to write to Cena, send it to Georgie @ [email protected]  Thanks.....
