Tonight’s WWE Raw at Memphis, Tennessee, is one of the most anticipated shows in history. Being the first Raw of 2012, this show promises to be exciting and here are the reasons why.
CM Punk (c) Vs Dolph Ziggler
Singles match for the WWE Championship
The main event of tonight’s show will be CM Punk Vs Dolph Ziggler for the WWE Championship. It will be Dolph’s first shot at the WWE Championship. He earned his oppurtunity by pinning CM Punk in the Gauntlet match last week on Raw. Though Dolph might be the underdog in this match, his chances of winning the championship are high. The returning ‘It Begins’ star is most likely to interfere during this match or at the end of this match, which might play spoilsport for Dolph Ziggler’s chances. Since CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler had put on a very good fight in their last match, a few weeks ago, expect them to match the high standards that they have set for themselves.
It Begins
The fact that the star who is behind the ‘It begins’ vignettes will be revealed on the night of January 2, 2012, is bound to keep the audience interested throughout the night. These promotional videos have been airing for the last few weeks and have succeeded in enthusing the fans about the star who is returning tonight. WWE has managed to build a huge hype through these videos and it is up to them to ensure that they do not disappoint fans like they did with the 21/2/11 videos.
Eve and Zack Ryder
WWE started the romance angle between Zack Ryder and Eve Torres last week. Expect them to develop this storyline tonight.
R-Truth and The Miz
R-Truth returned back to the WWE last week and immediately went after his former partner The Miz. He brutally attacked him and promised that he will continue doing so in the coming weeks. So we can expect R-Truth and The Miz to have some sort of confrontation at Raw. Moreover, we are still unclear who is the face and who is the heel in this feud. Tonight’s show might give us some pointers on this.
With Kane making clear the reason why he has attacked John Cena, we can expect John Cena to respond to Kane’s accusations this week.
Raw is certainly gonna be intriguing. Don’t miss it.
