— WWE.com is advertising the following for tonight’s WWE RAW:
“Stone Cold” Steve Austin returns to guest host Monday Night Raw on a night he’s decreed WrestleMania Rewind Night, featuring Triple H vs. Randy Orton, World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho vs. HBK, and John Cena vs. Unified Tag Champion Big Show.”
“Before Mr. McMahon and Bret “Hit Man” Hart make history in the ring at WrestleMania, the two will sign the contract for their epic encounter on Raw … with both men’s longtime rival, guest host “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, presiding.”
— While WWE has publicly downplayed fear that TNA iMPACT! represents any sort of threat on Mondays and even allowed TNA to air the final few minutes of last Monday’s overrun uncontested, sources say the company is still closely monitoring what the number two wrestling promotion does. A ProWrestling.net report said that iMPACT! was being shown on a number of the television monitors backstage as WWE kept tabs on its competition.
The disappointing rating for last week’s show, which featured far more promotional amunition than will be the norm, might, however, assure WWE that it need not carry any short-term worry.
TNA sucks I tivoed last weeks and it was TERRIBLE.
