TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2008 On Raw, General Manager Mike Adamle instituted a “Championship Scramble,” a 20-minute match for the World Heavyweight Title at Unforgiven between champion CM Punk, John Cena, Batista, Kane and JBL. The night’s show saw each of those Superstars except for Punk win a match. With so many determined competitors in the mix, will they be able to contain their ambition in the scant weeks leading up to Unforgiven? World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk’s aforementioned loss was suffered at the hands of the ruthless Chris Jericho, fresh off an accidental attack on the wife of his rival, Shawn Michaels. The first-ever Undisputed Champion has urged HBK to remain at home and comfort his family, but directly after his wife was laid out by Jericho, The Showstopper seemed to have something else in mind. Michaels gave up his career at SummerSlam – after the assault on his wife, will he still follow his doctor’s orders? Or will Jericho find himself on the receiving end of some retaliatory Sweet Chin Music? Last week on Raw, it was revealed that Kane’s burlap sack contained Rey Mysterio’s mask. This week, Kane explained how he brutally assaulted the Ultimate Underdog and stole his mask. Following the revelation, Mysterio’s former tag team partner and good friend Batista rushed to the ring and attacked Kane, who managed to get the upper hand over The Animal due to his injured leg. What is the condition of Rey Mysterio, and will the rivalry between Batista and Kane spill over into their Championship Scramble? For the answers to these questions and more, watch Monday Night Raw live at its regular time of 9/8 CT, this Monday on Sci Fi Channel - for one night only. Or catch the action at 11/10 CT on USA Network. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rezinda 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2008 Kofi gets a rematch for the IC against Santino. Batista fights Kane. Live appearnace by Michaels. The only thing this Raw is missing is a No. 1 Contender tag team turmoil for the tag titles. Highlanders, Cryme Tyme, .....oh wait they don't have any other tag teams.

Exslade ZX 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2008 Cena's injury could be Jericho's in to the match, considering they just mentioned. Seeing how I really don't expect the Jericho/Michaels blowoff at a throwaway like Unforgiven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noah Fentz 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2008 Awesome match. JBL has been good to Punk. I thought that match was awful and boring. CM just doesn't have what it takes to be a champ, IMO. What did he do? A dozen kicks and a springboard before his finisher? I still haven't seen a very convincing performance from him, since winning the belt. You are very right, though, JBL has been VERY good to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
