RAW is live (on tape) this week from the Phones 4U Arena in Manchester, less than two weeks away from the 27th Annual Survivor Series, as the card for that show in Boston needs to fill up.
The Big Show blew his chance to rewrite wrestling history. Instead of continuing his bid to sue Triple H and Stephanie McMahon for everything they have, including control of the WWE, he gave that up for his job back and a shot at Randy Orton's WWE Championship. For his choice, he was subjected to a beating at the hands of Orton and The Shield. Will the chase for the WWE Title be worth it for the Big Show, or will he wish he had gone further, and now be running the place himself?
In a further development during the same incident, Triple H unleashed his new Director of Operations, the unmasked and suited Kane. Last week, Kane merely threw in chairs for Orton and The Shield to use on The Big Show. How much further will Kane's new role take him, and will it get physical?
John Cena will defend the World Heavyweight Championship in Boston against the man he won the title from at Hell in a Cell, Alberto Del Rio. Things haven't really got physical between Cena and Del Rio since then, so where better for Del Rio to make a statement against the new champion than overseas in the UK where Cena isn't exactly the most popular?
After Daniel Bryan's failed effort to reclaim the WWE Title, and CM Punk's successful plot to put Paul Heyman away for good, both men found themselves in the crosshairs of the Wyatt Family. Normally we'd expect a tag team match against Luke Harper and Erick Rowan, but given the Survivor Series is coming up, will there be other Superstars added to this battle to create a Survivor Series match, and if so, will Bray Wyatt be involved? We should find out tonight.
One added twist as far as CM Punk is concerned, last week on RAW, Paul Heyman called into the show to discuss his injuries suffered at the hands of Punk. The main twist is that Heyman was calling from Europe. Given that Manchester is in Europe, is it possible that we see Heyman tonight, and that this whole thing with Punk may not be over after all?
There have been a couple of recent fun trios matches that have seen The Rhodes Brothers team up with John Cena to take on the Real Americans and Damien Sandow. These partly spawned off a non-title match that saw the Real Americans defeat Cody and Goldust, so the question is asked - will Cesaro and Swagger get a Tag Team Title match tonight, or is that building up to the Survivor Series?
All this, the Divas, Los Matadores, and the usual red phone boxes and the twice-yearly William Regal appearance, tonight from England!
