Guest Report post Posted April 28, 2008 After months of chasing Randy Orton and the WWE Championship, The Game is finally back on top. Triple H won the hard-fought Fatal Four Way Elimination Match at Backlash to reclaim his throne as The King of Kings and become the new WWE Champion. As Triple H knows from experience with this being his 12th reign as World Champion, when you’re at the top, the target is on your back. Who will set their sights on The Game and his newly won gold? Will Randy Orton be looking to regain the WWE Championship and reinstate the “Age of Orton”? Also, after defeating three Superstars in one night last week on Raw, General Manager William Regal will be officially coronated Monday night as the 2008 King of the Ring, in a ceremony full of pomp and prestige. Will the newest English monarch be a benevolent ruler or a cruel dictator? Will The King of Kings and new WWE Champion steal his glory? We'll find out as the crown and scepter are bestowed to Regal Monday night. Last night, Shawn Michaels put his body on the line and gave everything to finally silence Batista once and for all. Will HBK be well enough to make it to the ring after the heated battle? Will Batista have gotten the point and leave The Showstopper alone? Fully recovered from the Money in the Bank Match at WrestleMania XXIV, Mr. Kennedy will make his triumphant return to Raw. Will he be looking to throw his hat into the ring with the new WWE Champion? Or will he decide to avenge his loss at WrestleMania? What’s up next for the Green Bay loudmouth as Raw hits the Garden State? Backlash also saw The Glamazon get the win in the 12-Diva Tag-Team Match by pinning Ashley. Was this just a message to Michelle McCool and Women’s Champion Mickie James? Will Beth Phoenix be aiming to get revenge on McCool for her slap last Monday, or will she focus on regaining the WWE Women’s Championship? We’ll see the answer to all these questions and more when Monday Night Raw airs live at 9/8 CT on USA Network. First thing, the coronation description kinda leads me to believe we're going to get HHH/Regal, just like Downhome predicted. But that could be wrong. Second, seeing as we're coming out of a PPV, as new feuds begin to take shape this week, I'll get threads up on those. Basically a who you want to come out on top, who will come out on top, how long is the feud going to last, what will happen afterward, etc...a prediction thing. I'll keep the PPV thread pinned for another day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted April 29, 2008 What's with the Piper 'insults'/observations? Following the serious conditions he's been through the last few years, and considering his age, he doesn't really need to stay in tip-top condition. Just be glad he's still here.

Theres tip top condition, theres average american condition and then theres Piper who looks like he's prepared just in case two of his tires blow out on the way to the arena.
