That's right, it's Monday again and RAW comes to you live from Detroit for probably the least special 3-hour RAW on record. It apparently has an extreme theme, but I've heard nothing about it.
That said, it could end up memorable as John Cena and Brock Lesnar come face-to-face once more for what will likely be a very volatile contract signing for their Extreme Rules Match at... Extreme Rules. Will Cena finally get one over on Lesnar and get some (surprisingly) much needed momentum for Sunday? Or will Lesnar give Cena yet another F5 for his birthday?
WWE Champion CM Punk will walk into The City of Broad Shoulders with the gold on Sunday, but he has needed every last inch of them to fend off the detestable mind games of his challenger Chris Jericho. And it hasn't helped that he has been defending that belt every week since WrestleMania. What will be in store for the dueling Bests In The World 6 days before their Chicago Street Fight?
EVPoTR&GMoR&S John Laurinaitis continues to relish in his role as undisputed kommandant of WWE television. What will he do next as part of his "People Power" pledge?
Lord Tensai has been mowing down guys left and right since his debut, capping it off with a win over John Cena last week. Who will he destroy next?
SmackDown guys will almost certainly show up (and when I say SmackDown guys, that's probably just Sheamus, Orton, Kane, Big Show, Rhodes, Del Rio and possibly Bryan depending on whether or not they like the YES! chants this week) to build up their matches.
Tag champs... eh.
Divas champ... eh.
All that, and lots of padding, coming up TONIGHT on a 3-hour episode of RAW!

I think the real question is, how many peeps will tune in at 9 PM EST and realize they missed the first hour?

There's a three hour show tonight?
Oh yeah... Eh. I might watch, might not - that's how Raw tends to be for me these days, comes down to if I feel like doing something else instead.

Isn't Cena's birthday today? A special 3 hour Birthday Celebration for John Cena tonight then. Will we see similar accusations of verbal BJs? Methinks not  |

Ziggler & Swagger vs Brodus & Santino vs The Colons 2.0 vs Darren Young and Titus O'Neil. Other than that, count me in as one of the guys who is sold on this PPV. |

Id assume another Cody/Show match is in the works considering what Show has been doing over the past few weeks. 5 matches wont be enough in my view, so id put a random Epico and Primo vs Kidd/Gabriel tornado tag title match on the card as well. Then give the titles to Kidd and Gabriel |

Three hour RAWs are rarely good. Hope this one will be different.

WWE.com just announced that the Cena/Lesnar contract signing will start RAW tonight. So most people will miss it...

The real question is, Will there be a comemorative photo of the contract signing?

My sources say Cesaro beat JTG in the dark match.
