WWE Monday Night Raw Discussion (13th February 2012)

Monday Night Raw - 13th February 2012




What Brings HBK to Raw?
Last week, the Chief Operating Officer of WWE, Triple H, explained why he turned down the Undertaker's challenge for Wrestlemania. Triple H told the fans that Undertaker was a shell of his former self and he refused the challenge because he respected the Undertaker he used to know. Later in the night, Interim Raw General Manager, John Laurinaitis, would announce that Shawn Michaels would be appearing on Raw this week to confront Triple H. What could be Michaels' motive for returning to Raw to speak to his former tag team partner? Michaels saw his career end at the hands of the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 26 and was involved between the two last year when he claimed that Triple H couldn't end the streak.

Also on Raw
Last week, Chris Jericho broke his silence and had some harsh words for his opponents in the Elimination Chamber: specifically WWE Champion, CM Punk. Jericho described his opponents as 'wannabes' and claimed that he was the best wrestler in the world. Later in the night, Jericho would win a six pack challenge to ensure he would enter last at the Elimination Chamber. What is next for the superstars vying for the WWE Title? Also last week, Kane promised that worse things would come if Cena refuses to embrace the hate. With Kane admitting that he's afraid of himself, how far will Kane go to get Cena to hate? Also, it was announced on WWE.com that John Laurinaitis was not fired, so expect to see him celebrate the fact that he kept his job.

Should be a good show. I guess we'll find out how involved Michaels is going to be for the Undertaker/HHH match.

Mr Wrestlemania back on Raw, awesome, I'll be marking out like a little girl when his music hits.

I think given the history between Taker, Triple H, Michaels and the streak, I could see something like Taker being so desperate for the rematch that he gives his blessing for HBK to be the special guest referee for the match. The way I see it, they need to do something different to up the ante, HBK/Taker II added the streak v career stipulation, and that helped make the match more anticipated. Seeing as though HHH/Taker last year was a no holds bared match, I'm thinking they need something extra to really sell the idea that Taker might lose the streak, and teasing a screwjob might be a decent option to look into.

Alternatively they could go with HBK saying something like if he had never had that rematch with Taker, he'd have never been able to retire with his mind at rest, therefore urging Triple H to accept the rematch.

There's still plenty of time until Wrestlemania to sort this out, this week could just be HBK trying to talk Triple H around to the rematch, with nothing being set in stone until after Elimination Chamber.

I wouldn't mind seeing those two in a Cell at Mania given their history with that match and aside from the six man Armageddon Cell they've never faced each other in one.

I think, if WWE wre willing to do that, it'd be quite an excellent decision. They've both got a tonne of history in that match, and it's easy to mask their limitations in a Cell.

I highly doubt they'll do it, but I would definitely approve of it.

The practicality of it is definitely the strongest argument against doing it.

Building a rig to hang one wouldn't be too hard. Plus I'd rather see those two in a Cell match than some random cube thing be lowered for every entrance.

Rawbar. I'm sorry but I think you talk in some weird language that only you understand because I honestly have no clue what you are trying to say.....ever.

I'll be at this show tomorrow! Should be a good show leading in to Elimination Chamber.

Excited that I get to see HBK, and I'm going to try to get the Zack Ryder shirt.
