RAW returns to its regular time of 9/8 CT on USA as the flagship emanates from the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

 

Big news from the desk of Executive Assistant Jonathan Coachman: He has scheduled a Vengeance Rematch for RAW, as Intercontinental Champion Santino Marella will once again face the Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga [for the Intercontinental Championship].

 

Their match at Vengeance was stopped by the referee, as Umaga brutalized the Milan Miracle and was disqualified for ignoring the referee's five-count. The beating continued post-match, as the super-heavyweight crushed the ribs of the champion with a splash from the top rope.

 

Will Marella manage to rebound and keep the miracle alive Monday night, or will Umaga once again wear Intercontinental gold? Tune in at 9/8 CT on USA to find out.

*Reminder: RAW will be postponed on August 27'th to the 11/10c timeslot, due to the U.S. Open on the USA Network*

 

(RAW, SmackDown!, & ECW will all be taped on Monday Night in Dallas)

 

I expect Umaga to regain the Intercontinental Title, they already had Marella weasel out of it at Vengeance, surely they wouldn't do it two straight?

Well hopefully its business as usual for RAW this week, and after a heartbreaking week for everyone at WWE, the Superstars can put this whole Benoit tragedy behind them, and come out to entertain us all yet again.

[Nimf 324]

By the way, didn't WWE tape ECW last Monday from Corpus Christi?

I doubt it as they'd turned everyone away for the Benoit tribute, didn't they? So unless they brought everyone BACK again to record it, then no.

[TPIB 62]

Yeah, I guess I didn't think of that. I guess they're either going to air it live or they taped it in San Antonio.

 

Anyways, just a little note that I found interesting. I was looking around on WWE's Schedule and it shows that the ECW/SmackDown! Tapings are going to be from Atlanta on Sep. 18'th. I just found that interesting.

[Murph 93]

Weren't they always being held in Atlanta, though?

I assume so, yes, but I'm just surprised they didn't reschedule it. Maybe they think this whole thing will blow over by then.

 

A Vengeance Rematch has been announced for RAW as Santino Marella will defend the Intercontinental Title against Umaga (again).

Umaga didn't win his IC title back at Vengence? I didn't see it, but I thought he won.

[wyndorf 389]

Umaga got DQ'd in about 12 seconds. He then kicked seven buckets of poo out of Santino - much to the crowds delight.

Don't forget about Raw Chat in the TWO chatroom people!

 

Raw is just about to start and I'm the only one in there. :sad5:

[Guest dpddave]

Im not gonna bother watching RAW,so not much point chatting about it!!

[Guest SuperKick Kid]

I smell Elimination Chamber

 

EDIT: Nevermind.

 

Regal incharge = Awesome.

 

I kinda was hoping he'd be the 6th man in the Elimination Chamber.

Yeah nice to see Regal getting in there. Some good old beat the Clock...wopeeeeee

[Guest Drake]

Ok, I have a few things to say.

 

1.) I'm really glad to see that Mr.Kennedy is back and healthy.

 

2.) Cena is the most un-funny guy in the ENTIRE WWE roster. His "jokes" just make me cringe.

 

3.) "That's King BOKAAAHHHH to you". Having King Bokaahh on RAW reeks of awesomeness. Plus, I think he will be Cena's next challenger.

 

4.) Lashley is still the most un-charismatic guy in the WWE roster. I can't express how un-entertaining I find the guy.

 

5.) Randy is the coolest thign since Johny Nitro. Plus, he is sporting some new cool tatoos.

 

6.) Regal as the temporary comissioner rules. He should be given the position full-time.

[Dead Crow 370]

I still don't fathom why WWE continue to give their best promo guy (Cena) such stupid lines. I've seen some of them and they just sound horrible, and this is from a Cena fan. I just can't fathom who writes these and why that person is still employed.

 

Seriously, just let Cena go out, ad-lib a promo, prove why he is the best promo guy in wrestling today, and then the rest will fall into place.

Agreed, although I did like "Kenny-G"
