Raw Is War Episode 2 Preview
With the Royal Rumble only three weeks away there are so many unanswered questions looming on the horizon.
Last week's episode of Raw will go down in history as the first confrontation between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Hollywood Hulk Hogan. The night began with Austin stunning both McMahon and Hogan, while it ended filled with controversy when both Hogan and Austin were eliminated from a 10 man Battle Royal seemingly at the same time. It is now up to McMahon to look over the footage and announce live next week who he thinks won the battle Royal, thus gaining the coveted number 30 spot at the Royal Rumble.

Our Main Event for this week is a match that will pit the Rock against Kurt angle, Edge and Christian. Last week after being interrupted by The Rock, WWF Champion Kurt Angle laid out a challenge that The Great One could not refuse. The Rock would take on Angle, as well as E&C in a Handicap match. If the Rock loses, he is gone from the WWF forever, if he wins, he faces Kurt Angle at the Royal Rumble for the WWF belt. You've gotta wonder if the odds being stacked so heavily against the Rock will signal his demise. You don't want to miss what could possibly be the Rock's last night in the WWF.
