Wrestling Update
With the WWF's No Way Out Pay-Per-View coming this weekend, they're going to be hyping it up with their flagship free shows, Raw and Smackdown! Today I'm going to comment on what I'm expecting for Raw and the matches that have already been signed. Tune in on either Wednesday or Thursday for my comments on Smackdown! and on either Friday or Saturday for my comments on the Pay-Per-View itself.
WWF Raw Card/Information and Predictions
Rock & Stone Cold v. Kurt Angle & Chris Benoit Rock & Stone Cold
Kurt Angle had an ankle lock on the Rock and Benoit had the crossface locked in on Stone Cold on Raw, so the faces need to get their revenge before No Way Out to make them seem worthy of their main event matches. Also, I still have no idea what Benoit is going to be doing at this pay-per-view. Perhaps we'll find out tonight, maybe through some interference in this match against Benoit by the Big Show or someone else.
HHH & Stephanie v. William Regal & Trish Stratus: William Regal & Trish Stratus
They haven't had an all out war yet, but Stephanie got in the first shot so the heels need this one to build up the feud. Also, Regal always has something up his butt kissing sleeve, so look for him to pull this one out. The only way I see HHH & Stephanie winning is by interference from Al Snow, hopefully the future commissioner!
Lita v. Dean Malenko: Lita
This is supposedly their last match, the one to end all, which means either the face (Lita) must win or turn heel and join Malenko. I don't quite see her going heel, though that would be a cool revelation, but look for her to come out with a clean win over Malenko. Lita will move on to the Women's title and Dean will hopefully focus on the Light Heavyweight championship he already holds.
Hardy Boys v. Island Boys (Rikishi & Haku): Hardy Boys
Rikishi & Haku seem to be receiving a push similar to that of Undertaker and Kane, and since they've broken that feud up look for someone to interfere in this match to give the Island Boys the heel win and the Hardy Boys some direction going into No Way Out.
X-Pac v. Eddie Guerrero: X-Pac
Look for X-Pac to get this win since he's just returned and needs to establish himself as a strong heel, also look for Justin Credible to be involed since he's apparently X-Pac's lackey lately.
Other matches: The Right to Censor/Right to Nudity feud will probably erupt into something much more epic tonight, with the cult aspect of the Right to Censor coming back stronger than ever. I expect someone else to fall under Steven Richards "look into my eyes" bit by Wrestlemania.... but more on that later. Enjoy the show!
