Tonight on RAW, live from Miami, it's a 3 Hour Viewer's Choice Special that looks very much like it's Cyber Sunday free on TV - so you get to choose the matches and the stipulations. And to help us through all this, it's a little bit of history. Three cast members of the new version of The A-Team will be our guest hosts tonight.
First up, it's Sharlto Copley from District 9, who is the new Murdock. Next, it's Bradley Cooper, best known from The Hangover, who is the new Face. And he's awesome enough.
But more importantly, and here's where the history comes, for the first time, an active UFC fighter will appear on WWE TV, as former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson will be the third host - he plays BA Baracus. Having just come off a decision loss to Rashad Evans, you know the likes of Edge, Sheamus, The Miz and Chris Jericho will want to rub it into Rampage's face. Whoever it is will make a huge mistake...
Tonight's show will be unpredictable with the interactive element, so what happened last week might be changed drastically tonight. And both brands will be appearing, so we've got ourselves quite the preview!
First up, John Cena got a win over two of his Fatal 4 Way challengers, Edge and Sheamus, but instead of fourth man Randy Orton, his partner was the high flying Evan Bourne, who got the pin on Sheamus. With Orton struggling with a shoulder injury, will Bourne take a further step towards possibly replacing The Viper, or will Air Bourne be sent crashing down?
The World Heavyweight Title picture changed significantly when The Undertaker was attacked by an unknown assailant, leaving the Phenom in a "vegatative state" and his career apparently over. This lead to Rey Mysterio winning a Battle Royal to take the vacant spot to face Jack Swagger, The Big Show and CM Punk. What situations will arise through fan voting tonight to advance this ongoing story?
Much to the dismay of Michael Cole, Daniel Bryan defeated his former mentor The Miz last week on RAW, and then threw Miz into Cole. RAW GM Bret Hart had only given Bryan a contract for that night, will his victory mean that The Hitman hires him for a longer basis, or is that it for Bryan? The Miz and Cole sure hope so.
Speaking of NXT, Wade Barrett won Season 1 last week, and one of the prizes that came with his win was a title shot on PPV against any champion. Will the Brit's challenge come at Fatal 4 Way, and which champion will he pick? Or will Barrett bide his time?
Things aren't going so well for Barrett's mentor Chris Jericho - he lost last week to the United States Champion R-Truth, and was seen to be very disappointed, almost as if he was having a midlife crisis. Has Jericho got over this blip, or is it something worse?
Tonight's interactive element gives you so many more options - will the Usos get their title shot against The Hart Dynasty? Will you reinstate Matt Hardy to get his revenge against Drew McIntyre? Will you pit LayCool against each other? Will you make Santino Marella dress up as Mr. T?
All this, and much more tonight on RAW, live from 8pm ET/7pm CT in the US, 1am in the UK, and on delay at 9pm ET in Canada.
