So, while I was catching up on my DVRed Raw, I noticed they ran an ad for a three-hour Raw for the July 16th show in Las Vegas. This will be the day after Money in the Bank.
So, what do you think the occasion is going to be, if any? Draft? Raw Roulette? No particular reason at all?

I'm thinking there's not going to be a draft.
Not because of a "hurr hurr hurr There's no brand split anymore" reason, but I'm thinking that with Del Rio going to SmackDown along with Bryan going after the WWE title (most likely to get him away from Sheamus so he doesn't kill his face pops), Jericho going after the WHC, along with the NXT revamp and parade of SmackDown debuts, I'm thinking the superstars might be quietly shuffled around without a draft event.

I say no reason at all. It seems USA likes 3hr Raws, and I think they asked for more of them during the last contract agreement.

If it's in Vegas, then it's probably Raw Roulette.

Ordinarily I'd guess that they might be doing their annual, "It's okay, we'll stop sucking for a couple of months," big shock event, but I'm kind of doubting there'll be one this year, and if there is, they'd likely rather save it for the next week.

Well, normally they have that storyline started by Money in the Bank, so I'm doubting that to be the reason for the three hour Raw.
I also have to wonder about the Roulette's shelf life. This would be the third Vegas show in just over a year to use the wheel if they did it again. But then again, WWE love its gimmick shows.

Roulette is always pretty fun. Last year's gave us the catalyst for the Summer of Punk too.
I hope they don't do 'Power to the People' again. That craptacular episode gave us Mason Ryan defeating Sin Cara in a public poll.

Start of the big summer angle? Those tend to star on 3 hour RAWs, don't they?

If they ever do a people's choice Raw again, whatever match he's a choice for NEEDS to follow the Divas match.  |

the way things are going? It will probably all take place in a courthouse, with no wrestlers, except occasionally being called out to be witnesses, and have a crowd in the back to occasionally be asked what they think of the case ala the people's court.
