WWE Raw 16/1/2012 preview

WWE Raw Supershow 16/1/2012 will be held at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. A United States Championship match between Zack Ryder(c) and Jack Swagger has been advertised for this show. But considering what happened last week, this match might not take place.

Currently, WWE are running a storyline which portrays Zack as being injured due to the choke-slam delivered by Kane. So, the status of this match is still inconclusive. We will have to wait and watch what happens on the show. As far as John Cena is concerned, his angle with Kane is getting more and more attention over the past few weeks. It will be interesting to see whether they’ll end up in a grudge match at Royal Rumble or do a complete flip by letting Cena reduce Kane to a footnote by switching to his ‘Super Cena’ mode.

With Kane-Cena-Ryder storyline getting featured at the end of the show, WWE Champion CM Punk has been kept out of the main event over the past couple of weeks. It will be intriguing to see if this trend continues this week too. Moreover, Punk’s botched victory over Jack Swagger last week will most likely be discussed during his interaction with Dolph Ziggler or ‘Big Johnny’ John Laurinaitis.

Noted Blogger and Television personality – Perez Hilton will be the guest ring announcer for the show or maybe for just the Divas match. I wonder what good does this bring to the Divas division. We might have to wait what difference his presence makes during a Divas match. Considering the fact that Perez has 4 million followers on Twitter, brace yourselves for more twitter trending plugs during the show.

Chris Jericho will appear but the bets are on whether he would or wouldn’t address the crowd during his appearance. I expect him to open up but my mind says that he will not do so until or unless he wins the Royal Rumble match and challenges CM Punk to a match at Wrestlemania. I better not take a side as Jericho is bound to surprise us with his creative antics.

R-Truth and The Miz are at loggerheads over the past few weeks. Will Truth continue to taunt Miz or will Truth himself get got?

Funkasaurus will be there and it will be interesting to see what they come up with regards to him, considering the amount of publicity that he has got within a week.

And by the way we have new Tag-Team Champions – Epico and Primo. We can expect them to be involved in a match or atleast make an appearance on Raw to celebrate their title victory. The future of Air Boom will also be known based on what happens on the show. No matter what happens, we are in for a treat.
