Why don't they just tape a Raw from Japan? They did it before back in 04 or 05. Why are Canada and the UK the only other countries that get to have televised Raw episodes?

So...may I ask why is it that we already have spoilers for next week? Your question was answered like two posts above yours. OK, thanks. Sorry about that

Well, Barrett wins the gold.
Also, that's how they shoehorned Cena in. Didn't figure they'd make it a random six-way match.

Wait... Wade finally gets his title shot, and it's in a 6-pack challenge? And no one else had to win anything or earn their spot to be in it? How does that work?
This sucks.

Night Of Champions WWE Title - 6-pack challenge Divas v. Women's Title unification - Laycool v. Melina U.S. Title - Miz v. Bryan I.C. Title - Kofi v. Dolph Tag - ? World - Kane v. Taker That's a nice card so far... I would put money on two members of Nexus getting a shot at the tag titles.

The GM/Nexus Higher Power has to be Triple H. 1.)GM gives Sheamus the throne. Make him think he's the King. 2.)Gives Barrett his title shot back. Not a singles match, but still gives him his match. 3.)Puts Sheamus in a hard to win match. Getting some revenge. Now I admit I'm probably looking to much into it, but still. So what........ he returns, sledgehammers Sheamus to oblivion, pedigrees Cena to turn heel, Barrett wins? I could live with that. There's not a chance of it happening though.

That or I'll assume that match will be no DQ, so the match could break down, Nexus runs in, Trips music hits to make it 6 on 6 only instead he pedigrees Cena, Barrett wins. Next night on RAW Trips says he is still unable to perform, he is the GM, is the future chairman of WWE, Nexus are the next big stars, etc...

Orton earned it by beating Sheamus by DQ, and besides that everyone else is a former champion. Barrett was never promised a 1-on-1 title match.

I can dig a Sheffield/Tarver team. They could be a bad ass APA type team. Just run over people like Mack trucks.

Two will chase the Tag Titles (probably Gabriel and Skip), and one (probably Slater) will chase Daniel Bryan for the US Title after he beats Miz for it (they'll have Miz drop the belt before he cashes in MITB). Whether Miz drops the title before NoC or not may be a pointer to whether he cashes in the case or not.

I could see Miz pulling an Edge from No Way Out '09 and losing the US Title in the first match of the night, only to cash in the MITB and win the WWE Championship at the end of the night.

Being a former champion doesn't automatically entitle you to a title match. It's bad booking brought about by a gimmick match that's not really been thought about properly.

I see you're set in your ways, for whatever reason. The GM is an authority figure who can make whatever match he/she wants. Is that good enough?

That's the best they could do? Really? They boxed themselves in doing a stable angle right before their big "Title Matches Only" show. This is pretty much the only way to get the main eventers on the PPV in any way that makes sense. Actually, I'm not sure it's titles only. Sure EVERY title has to be defended, but if there's actually a unification match for the Women's and Diva's titles then there's only six matches. So they could have a non-championship match fill in the gap.

Why are they going back to every other Raw being taped? Is it something to do with their foreign tour? They're in Japan all next week I liked the time they recorded the show in Japan. Plus they could have someone like Tajiri do a guest spot.

I'm a little disappointed that they're reinstating Nexus' titles shots already. I had a great idea for an angle where the winner of NXT 2 takes his title shot at NOC and Nexus are forced to sit at ringside the entire show and stew in their own juices
