Raw Thread 9/6/10: Mr. Barrett goes to Washington

[forgottensinpwf]

the 901'st Raw is live from the nation's captial this week, as the buildup to Night of Champions continues.

With 2 weeks remaining until NOC, will the 6 competitors in the 6 pack challenge butt heads tonight?

Will Jericho and Edge explain why they deliberately got eliminated in last week's elimination tag match?

LayCool is expected to show up tonight, along with NXT season 2 winner Kaval. Just how will they try to mess with Melina this week before the unification Women's title match?

Daniel Bryan's been having a rough time since coming back, especially with the Miz getting the one up over him most of the time. Will Bryan get the upper hand this week? And will Miz's NOC US title match be announced?

Last week's #1 contender's match for the tag titles was a bust. Will this week be any different?

With Raw in Washington, do the Nexus have something dastardly planned?

And will we actually have wrestling this week? Find out tonight on Raw.

/crosses fingers for Kaval/DBD confrontation against Miz/Riley(?)

[Steveweiser]

Tonight on the Labor Day edition of RAW (feels odd typing that when I usually include the u), live from Washington DC, the pressure is on for Sheamus and four of his five challengers for the WWE Title, as Wade Barrett has the upper hand with two weeks to go until Night of Champions. Last week on RAW, Barrett was the sole survivor in a 5 on 5 Survivor Series style elimination match, which saw Chris Jericho walk out on his team and Edge intentionally getting disqualified. Who will be on top of the mind games this week?

Last week on RAW, Chris Jericho claimed that if he lost the Six Pack Challenge match at Night of Champions, he would leave WWE, so getting counted out last week wasn't exactly a smart move. Will Jericho be more dominant this week? And how will John Cena and Randy Orton fare this week?

The Miz still feels like he has an advantage over Daniel Bryan after last week's Triple Threat tag team victory, but he can't be happy that his rookie Alex Riley lost NXT to Kaval. You'd think that The Miz won't have his backup anymore, whilst Bryan could potentially use Kaval to back him up. Will the American Dragon get his US Title opportunity at Night of Champions?

Melina could be the latest undisputed champion if she defeats either Layla or Michelle McCool at Night of Champions, and she'll have every Diva at ringside to witness it. What antics will LayCool, fresh off Kaval's NXT victory, be pulling tonight?

Tomorrow night sees the start of NXT Season 3, with six rookie Divas, one of them a mystery thanks to Vickie Guerrero firing the 6'9" Aloisia, making their WWE debuts. Will we see any of them make an appearance tonight?

All that, plus the possibility of a Tag Team Title match being announced, tonight on RAW.

Should tonight's match-up be Resident Evil Afterlife vs Golden Corral?

You're forgetting about Legendary. And I think it should be that vs. hype for NXT Season 3.

Can't we have a Fatal-Four-Way?

Since RE:A also opens this week, I'll allow it. Legendary vs. Resident Evil: Afterlife vs. NXT Season 3 vs... should we really give this last spot to Golden Corral? What about Burger King?

[Push R Truth]

I'm still hoping for the Ultimate Warrior to be revealed as the Higher Power

Didn't you hear? It was Jake The Snake Roberts in the end.

[Beartato]

I'm looking forward to this one. Looks very promising.

I wonder if The Internet Heroes will get the upper hand against Miz and that other guy who stands behind Miz shouting stuff. And I hope the tag team match is announced. Maybe the Dudebusters will be included!

Yeah?

...Yeah?

Recently, we've been joking about Golden Corral more than BK, so...

[Big L]

ha! Will we actually have wrestling this week

[Steveweiser]

Damn, did not see the other thread. You have to get up super early to trump me.

[Firearm: Supposed Big Deal]

Golden Corral it is. Golden Corral vs. NXT3 vs. Legendary vs. RE:A.

[Steveweiser]

Oh, and I totally prefer FSin's title to the one I chose.

[Steveweiser]

A note to British Crappers - RAW is on Sky Sports 4 tonight, so check your planner to make sure the right channel is recording.

That or it's just a different time zone.

[Foreign Object]

All the NXT Season 3 Rookies are backstage, does that mean we're gonna see them?
