WWE
Battleground is fast approaching, and the lines have been drawn. From
CM Punk’s brewing rivalry with Ryback (and Paul Heyman) to Daniel
Bryan’s battle for the vacant WWE Title with Randy Orton, the various
tensions within the WWE locker room are building to a head. But it’s an
old rivalry between the McMahons and the Rhodes family that seems to
have taken the most interesting turn, as WWE COO Triple H has invited
Cody Rhodes, Goldust and Dusty Rhodes to a summit on Raw. What will The
King of Kings propose for his family’s longtime foils? Here are five hot
topics to watch for this week’s Raw.
Fork in the Rhodes
The McMahon-Rhodes rivalry continued to heat up
last week when Cody Rhodes and Goldust hopped the barricade in street
clothes and got a few shots in on The Shield, Triple H’s chosen
opponents for Daniel Bryan and the rest of the locker room, moments
before the first 11-on-3 Handicap Elimination Match in Raw history. The
Rhodes boys’ efforts helped chip away at The Hounds of Justice’s
defenses and contributed to their defeat, and now they’ve accepted an
offer from The King of Kings for a sit-down this Monday night. What turn
will the family drama take?
¡OLÉ!
You’ve waited, you’ve anticipated, and now, Los
Matadores are finally making their arrival in WWE. Little is known about
the identities or motivations of the mythical masked men, but in a tag
team division rife with competition, the field is wide open for these
newcomers to make an immediate impact. One can only hope the mysterious
matadors give the WWE Universe a performance they will never soon
forget.
Snakebit
Randy Orton seems to have taken Stephanie
McMahon’s demands to heart from a few weeks ago: Commanded to unleash
his remorseless side, The Apex Predator has complied by beating both The
Miz and Rob Van Dam to within an inch of the injured reserve list. Such
aggression hasn’t been seen from the former WWE Champion in some time;
can fellow contender to the vacant title, Daniel Bryan, withstand Orton
at his most brutally efficient?
Running the Show
With each passing week, Big Show continues to sink
further and further into the subservience of the McMahon family. At
this point, The World’s Largest Athlete has been reduced Stephanie
McMahon’s personal knockout machine, socking anyone who looks at the
queen bee the wrong way. But every Superstar – every man, really – has a
breaking point. How long and how hard can the corporate power continue
to push the giant until he snaps?
Those who do not remember history …
… Are doomed to repeat it. Case in point, CM Punk
willingly let himself be drawn into the open for a free opportunity to
punish Paul Heyman, believing he could withstand the inevitable sneak
attack by Ryback and Curtis Axel. He was, of course, woefully mistaken,
as The Human Wrecking Ball sent Punk for an ugly trip through a table
before The Second City Saint’s hometown crowd. We know now that Punk
will meet Ryback at WWE Battleground, but can the former WWE Champion
keep his animosity in check until then? Or will he be goaded into
another ambush? Tune in this Monday at 8/7 CT on USA Network to find
out!
