WWE Monday Night Raw Discussion: Cena & Orton v. The Raw Roster
Written by Lex on March 17th, 2008 in Uncategorized.
I will hand it to the WWE: they avoided making their main event for this evening predictable. I’m sure everyone assumed (I certainly did) that it would be John Cena v. Randy Orton, but they’ve played it differently–Triple H has “booked” John Cena and Randy Orton to team up and take on the entire Raw roster.
Here’s what I see happening: Cena goes Superman, takes out Orton and the Raw roster, only to be put down by a Pedigree to the cheers of the crowd. Book it.
Tonight we’ve also got new IC champ Chris Jericho kicking off Raw with the Highlight Reel. His guest will be the Big Show…who I’m sure will be touting his butt-kicking of Money Mayweather last week on Raw.
That’s all the WWE has planned for now. Discuss Raw here.

Fuck Raw I just read that Daniel Hill(Paul Bearer) is scheduled to be at tomorrows SD! taping. Although it’s not confirmed he will be on camera I would totally mark out to see The Undertaker and Paul Bearer back together again.
March 17th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
That would be sweet…
March 17th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
one thing though, paul bearers real name is Bill Moody not Daniel Hill.
March 17th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
SAY SPOILER ALERT YOU FUCKING IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, well your not a fucking idiot, but now I know(or can guess) paul will get his ass kicked by Edge on SD.
Thanks alot sideshow.
There goes the surprise….unless he turns on taker(HIGHLY UNLIKELY)
Now im going to get Lil Yuk to cut a serious promo on you.
March 17th, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Your right I copy/pasted the wrong name trying to get the correct spelling.
March 17th, 2008 at 6:00 pm
It’s not a spoiler alert unless it actually happens it’s really more Speculation Alert!
March 17th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
COACH IS DOING THE KNICK GAME, guess he wont be watching raw
March 17th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
they should have a shelton vs punk vs morrison match this week for a mitb preview tht would be freakin sweet and morrison should go to raw for the draft and fued with jericho
March 17th, 2008 at 6:59 pm
I thought that Paul Bearer’s real name was Percy Pringle…
RAW SPOILER ALERT
Cena & Orton effectively bury 85% of the roster during the match and then Jehovah Hearst Helmsley comes in last, pedigrees the other two geeks and he stands over both goofballs with the belt
March 17th, 2008 at 7:07 pm
I gotta say, Big Show on the mic, he’s pretty solid.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
that was GOOD on the Big Show’s part!
March 17th, 2008 at 7:12 pm
I was looking forward to McMahon on Larry king
March 17th, 2008 at 7:13 pm
that was the best mcmahon promo iv seen in about 10 yrs haha
March 17th, 2008 at 7:14 pm
I don’t know if this is a spoiler, but tonight we will have Big Show vs. Y2J for the IC strap and McMahon vs. Flair in a street fight… you know that’s about all we see from McMahon are street fights and cage matches.

lol r you a member of figure4online
March 17th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
um, we need a chatroom…
March 17th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
I know I’m probably the only one here planning to by the Triple H anthology.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
we also have CM Punk vs. Carlito in a pre-mitb match
March 17th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
how convenient, an HHH dvd out right before Mania? I think that is a spoiler, if anything.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:19 pm
uh mabey
March 17th, 2008 at 7:22 pm
JSNWWF-
You think that Y2J will beat Show? (as if it isn’t obvious enough)
March 17th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
Punk wins with the GTS
March 17th, 2008 at 7:24 pm
lol i think cm punk just got some revenge on carlito for hitting on maria behind punks back haha
March 17th, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Santino’s Hat = Awesome
March 17th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
oh man they should make a stable with big daddy v kahli mark henry and have santino as there manager CLASSIC
March 17th, 2008 at 7:26 pm
booooo. I thought that snoop and santino would make me laugh, but no, that was corny
March 17th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Job City population London & Kendrick
March 17th, 2008 at 7:29 pm
wht a way to kill london and kendrick but they were already jobbers once they came to raw so i guess its not a big deal at least umaga is a monster again
March 17th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
now we have a batista/umaga vs. kendrik and london
March 17th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
sideshow job city population consits of london kendrick snitksy duece domino and im sure theres others haha
March 17th, 2008 at 7:31 pm
my bad it is a handicaped match umaga being jobbed to by kendrick and London
March 17th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
looks like kendrick is sick of being a jobber tag team so hes going to be a singles jobber YES
March 17th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Umaga wins with Kendrick ditching London and leaving the ring.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
Really jobbing is mostly Paul London’s fault he’s got backstage heat for a couple of different things. Bury London, bury Kendrick by association.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:36 pm
New stipulation for the Orton/Cena vs. Raw match.
If Cena leaves Orton then he is out of the match at ‘Mania and if Orton leaves Cena his title is stripped
March 17th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
i would like to ask vince..
“Why did you bring Kendrick/London to RAW?”
Smackdown was a better show with wrestlers.
They could have done this with a couple of jobbers, since coming to RAW that team haven’t won yet.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
Jmart-
How about Big Daddy V, Mark Henry, and some dude from ECW that I’m forgetting… I mean come on ECW is like jobber central
March 17th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Umaga spike owned London!!!!
Pulled him up by the hair, LMAO
March 17th, 2008 at 7:40 pm
I agree with you JSN WWF SD! could have a lot more us for them like having them face Miz/Morrison
March 17th, 2008 at 7:41 pm
oh yeah good thinking haha
March 17th, 2008 at 7:44 pm
I mean sure, we all know that HHH is good but cmon Vince. I want to be in the room where these decisions are made.HHH will get the title about 20 times before he is done.
WHO DOESNT SEE THROUGH THIS???????????????????????????????????????????
NO ONE IN THE BACK CAN SEE WHY HW ALWAYS MAIN EVENTS MANIA AND GETS TITLES???????
March 17th, 2008 at 7:46 pm
HA! london got like 6 feet on that
March 17th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
-”The” Jsnwwf
Triple H is good he doesn’t hog the spot light nearly as much as Hogan did and if Stone Cold and The Rock were still wrestling they would have 20 title rains also. Triple H just stuck around unlike The Rock and staid relatively injury free compared to others from the attitude era like Stone Cold. It’s been a while since he held the title give him a break.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Is Finley on SD! or RAW?
March 17th, 2008 at 7:51 pm
Here we go with JBL “vs.” Colen Delani
March 17th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
So I guess this is it for Kendrick and London.
March 17th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Is there a problem with Raw’s booking or does it just suck because we just saw 2 jobber matches in a row
March 17th, 2008 at 7:53 pm
yeah i guess so
March 17th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
JBL with a mic never sux even in a jobber match.
March 17th, 2008 at 8:04 pm
Wow I’m not even watching in HD and even I saw the blade in Ric Flairs hand.
March 17th, 2008 at 8:10 pm
A busted open Flair flies off the top rope driving McMahon trough a table and pins him for the win
March 17th, 2008 at 8:11 pm
yeah i saw the same thing sideshow
p.s. where do you live in NY? I live on the upper west side
March 17th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
The cameras went too quickly to flair and I saw him blade and then hide his face while dropping the blade
March 17th, 2008 at 8:12 pm

I live in Jersey
March 17th, 2008 at 8:18 pm
This mother fucking Jarid went from obese to chubby and got a endorsement. I been chubby my whole live where’s my endorsement.
March 17th, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Stop sandwich thief!!!
March 17th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
haha santino hitting the king then shouting “you lose” and running away. That was too funny
March 17th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
Santino = GOLD!! Ha Ha. You Lose!!! Jerry Stupid Lawler!!!
March 17th, 2008 at 8:26 pm
just kiddin! Im from Memphis so Jerrys my Hero!!
March 17th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Santino is defiantly good on the mic I just wish the WWE would put him in a match with someone who can really go so we can see what he’s got in the ring. He’s been in the WWE almost a year and has maybe 1 serious match on TV and that was against Y2J in his comeback match so of course Santino jobbed.
March 17th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
I really have to question the logic of having a face like Jericho openly cheat in a match to keep his title.
March 17th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Does John Cena just barge into everyones locker room like that?
March 17th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Wait a min where Kennedy, HBK, and Ric Flair
March 17th, 2008 at 8:56 pm
This match is soooooooooooooooo stupid ! And Randy Orton has to be the most ignored WWE Champion of all time ! And three years later that belt design is still terrible !
March 17th, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Has Kennedy come out at all tonight?
March 17th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
You know what, fuck it I like that main event it was so insane you have to give them credit for trying to mix it up…….*takes a big sip from his glass of Kool-aid prepared by Vince McMahon*
March 17th, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Ur right sideshowraheem, the ending was’nt that bad but do any one agree with me that Ortons whole title reign has been ignored ?
March 17th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
i think orton has had a fine title run, i don’t see how it has been ignored, aside from the fact that since winning the strap, smackdown has had consistently better main events than raw. orton’s shown that he is good enough to be in the main event, and he has really improved in and out of the ring this past year or so.
did jericho turn heel? if he turned heel i think he’ll win MITB. guess we’ll have to wait until next week.
i pick flair to win a wrestlemania. vince is gonna swerve all of us, except for me, ah ha ha ha ha, AH HA HA HA HA!
im actually looking forward to RAW vs Smackdown at mania, I see batista and umanga having good chemistry.
Wrestlemania will be for Cena. They are going to have Cena break Taker’s streak. he’ll win this year, then hold the belt to break the record for longest title reign. how long was that, 7 years?
March 17th, 2008 at 9:36 pm
I gonna pick Edge over Taker at WM. I’m pretty sure Chavo and Orton will both be dropping there titles that night and I can’t see the WWE booking 3 title changes on the same PPV.
March 18th, 2008 at 12:27 am
BATISTA/UMAGA WILL BE GOOD TRUST ME!
RAW must have sucked for that crowd i mean, NO HBK match, NO KENNEDY(wtf), and NO HHH match.
P.S. Where was Big Show, y2j, and hbk in the main event?
ENTIRE RAW ROSTER MY ASS! YOU MEAN ENTIRE RAW MIDCARD, and Umaga
March 18th, 2008 at 6:09 am
kennedy is shooting a movie somewhere for something, and finly killing him last week (AWWWW, HE KILLED HIM, MIKE!) was sussposed to write him off tv.
March 18th, 2008 at 6:20 am
-”The” Jsnwwf
Y2J was probably putting ice on that knot Big Show left on his forehead I wouldn’t have come out ether.
The only part of Raw that wasn’t entertaining was Umaga swashing L&K other wise I thought it was good.

Proud member of the F4W Empire
March 18th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Jesus, the crowd was cheering both Cena and Orton!
Then Hun-Tor had to send them both to tha Dogg Pound (yes, the Pedigree has to be Snoop’s finisher).
Fuck Yo Couch, HHH.
March 18th, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Good Raw. A few odd things but can skip over that.
Santino as ever hilarious, the Raw mainevent was the sort of crazy-ass stuff that I liked on TNA, but with Raw it actually makes sense story wise.
I think Orton has had a very good title reign too, he’s really developed as a character over the last few months. He was given an opportunity and took it. Take note Jeff Hardy.
March 18th, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Hey guys I’ve been wondering… are we looking at a post-Mania Show/Y2J feud?
March 18th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
I’m finally getting to watch this show–Vince cracks me up. He makes Ric Flair look young in the ring.
