WWE Raw: Complete Preview, Rumors, News and More for Feb. 13

With WrestleMania just a few weeks away and Elimination Chamber occurring on Sunday, February 19, storylines that will finalize the road to the biggest show in the company’s history are about to come to fruition.

Fans think they know the angles that the WWE will take, but a lack of direction for Sheamus and more questions than answers means this go-home show should be a microcosm of the fun we're going to have for the next month or two.

Where: Valley View Casino Center, San Diego, CA

When: Monday, February 13, 9:00 p.m. ET

Watch: USA Network

HBK’s Return

Since leaving the WWE to become a television hunter, Shawn Michaels has stayed away from the company for the most part. However, EVP John Laurinaitis is bringing him to Raw this week.

With the previous history between Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Undertaker, this is no doubt a ploy by the Interim GM to get Triple H to accept the WrestleMania match.

I have a feeling that the WWE will try to get HBK to referee a match between Triple H and Undertaker. That being said, I think it's an unneeded element in this puzzle. WWE is just trying to infuse as many big names as possible for the WrestleMania show.

Will Undertaker Show Up?

After all the talk of Shawn Michaels last week and everything that Triple H said about having to put the Undertaker down for good, they better allow Undertaker to make an appearance this week.

It’s very simple for the WWE. As much as they want to push all of the other storylines, if The Rock isn’t returning, all the focus for the fans is on Undertaker. They want him to show up.

With the video package last week being perfect, the WWE didn’t have to parade him to the ring. However, he should appear this week during the conversation between Triple H and Shawn Michaels.

Either way, I love having Undertaker back.

Is the War of Words Between CM Punk and Chris Jericho Going to Start?

After way too much silence over the last month or so, the WWE universe is ready for a war of words between Chris Jericho and CM Punk to commence. Finally.

Allowing arguably their two best speakers on the mic to go silent in a high-profile feud was a mistake from jump street, especially considering how much the company needs people who can talk so desperately.

However, I do think that last week was the end of the silence. Therefore, this edition of Raw should be filled with one pipe bomb after another. If the company allows both men to have free reign over their scripts, this will be the best feud in a long time.

Will Alberto del Rio Make his In-Ring Return?

With the company dying for as many heels as they can get, the possible return of Alberto del Rio would give the WWE universe a clear contender to cheat to win again.

The WWE has Jericho, who won’t be there for long, and Daniel Bryan, who is still turning heel. They are desperate for someone to feud with a top star when the WrestleMania run is over.

I don’t know who he will feud with or whether they will allow him back into the WWE title picture, but all this time he has missed has proven that the WWE is better with him in the mix.
