A trio of questions
September 25, 2006

There are three burning questions in the minds of the RAW fans as RAW heads to Oklahoma City this week.

Who will Coachman choose?
In Oklahoma City, D-Generation X will face three teams of Executive Assistant Jonathan Coachman's choice in a Gauntlet Match. DX must face all three teams in a row, and with all the Superstars at the Executive Assistant's disposal, who will Coachman choose to battle Triple H and Shawn Michaels?

Who will succeed Trish?
Trish Stratus won the Women’s Championship at Unforgiven, but her retirement forced the championship to be vacated. Every Diva wants to become champion; eight of them will have their chance, as RAW will see the beginning of an 8-Diva tournament to determine a new Women's Champion. Who will be the one to succeed Trish?

Can Nitro withstand the Big Red Monster?
Also in Oklahoma City, Johnny Nitro will defend the Intercontinental Championship against Kane. Weeks ago, Kane's first chance at Nitro's gold was interrupted by Umaga, who came to the ring to attack the Big Red Monster. An opportunistic Nitro was able to retain his gold in a Six-Pack Challenge last week; can he do it two weeks in a row, or will Oklahoma City see a Big Red Champion crowned?

To find out the answers to these questions and more, tune into RAW Monday night at 9/8 CT on the USA Network.

All of these seem pretty interesting IMO. I personally can't wait for the Gauntlet Match and I'd be willing to bet that Edge is going to be in one of the teams that are going to be picked.

Gee, I wonder. Probably Spirit Squad, Cade/Murdoch and some other team. Not sure about that third.
And it's actually nice to hear they're having a tournament for the women's title, although I'm also wondering about the eight women. Aside from Mickie, Lita and Victoria, who would be a decent champion? All that's left on Raw are Maria, Candace and Torrie, right? Or am I forgetting anyone?

[Smark4lyfe]

DX will vs Cade and Trevor, Charlie and Vis and some other junk team.

[The Nature Girl]

*And*, it does look like that neither Vince nor Shane are going to be on RAW next week again, so to me that means that the DX/McMahons feud is indeed over, at least for now.

[Sigma: Current SRW Champ!]

Well, Beth Phoenix is scheduled to make her return, that makes 7. Maybe the Deever will make her debut on Raw.

Mickie James was a horrible champion. I con't care what you think of her looks, she's got zero coordination and moves around the ring like a skinny jobber from 1973.

You have Lita, Victoria, Beth, and to a lesser extent Melina(see Jillian vs Melina @ Judgement Day 2006) who can put on a good match. Torrie has been improving, Candice is not belt material.

Jillian and Krystal also put good matches on. This is one of the many reasons why the brand split is a problem.

$1,000,000 says Nitro vs Kane ends in a DQ thanks to Umaga

I look at it as the old "challenger has champion down for the count, until the guy he's in a feud with ruins his championship dreams"

[willywonka666]

I thought they would have a battle royal before theyd have a tournament for the women's championship

[The son of a plumber.]

The team that wins should have Shelton Benjiman in it. He needs to be in this fued and be picking up victories.

yeah, especially since they did the exact same thing when Kane was about to win the IC belt last month

SS, Cade and Murdoch, Shane and Vinnie

[Joe Laracuente WAS WRONG]

Ohhh the suspense is killing me.......

[Deleted]

Well, DX have been facing Haas & Viscera, and Cade & Murdoch in back to back matches on house shows, so I'm thinking those 2 teams, and maybe an ECW or Smackdown team.

If you said Umaga costs Kane the title, then you are correct sir.

How they should book the tournament:

Round 1

Maria V. Lita
Torrie V. Beth
Candace V. Melina
Mickie V. Victoria

Round 2

Torrie V. Lita
Mickie V. Melina

Final

Mickie V. Lita

So of course, Mickie will lose to Candace in round 1, and Torrie will win this, because WWE hates logic.

Cryme Tyme as 3rd team

[Deleted]

What a waste of everyone's time.

Even the markiest of marks knows exactly what's going to happen in that Kane/Nitro match. Why bother?

[KEJB]

If anyone other than Victoria wins the womens championship, something is wrong.
