The weekly broadcast of WWE’s Monday Night Raw will happen right here in Downtown Memphis tonight, from the FedExForum. Superstars from both the RAW and Smackdown brands will perform.<\/p>\n
The main event is advertised as C.M. Punk vs. Dolph Ziggler for the WWE title. Having followed wrestling for years, I think there’s a good chance Ziggler wins the title here. He dropped the U.S. title to Zack Ryder at the last PPV, which could mean they’re getting that belt off Ziggler to prepare him for bigger and better things. A lot of people are saying he will be the breakout star of 2012. Tonight may be the night he gets to the next level.<\/p>\n
Another advertised match is a battle of the announcers, Jerry “The King” Lawler vs. Michael Cole in a street fight. Applying the longtime booking logic of “Lawler doesn’t lose in Memphis,” signs point to Cole getting his ass kicked tonight.<\/p>\n
The third event announced is John Cena vs. Kane (who is back under the mask again) in a RAW Challenge Match. Other wrestlers – er, WWE Superstars, Vince McMahon hates it when they’re called wrestlers – include \u201cWorld\u2019s Strongest Man\u201d Mark Henry, R-Truth, The Miz, Big Show, \u201cCeltic Warrior\u201d Sheamus, Kofi Kingston, \u201cDashing\u201d Cody Rhodes, Jack Swagger, The Bellas, and Kelly Kelly.
