WWE Monday Night Raw Preview: What's Next for Nash and Company?

If you missed last week's Raw, here is an abridged recap of how the tension between CM Punk and Kevin Nash was built up.

Triple H got the party started by coming out to the ring. He invited Nash to come out so all could become transparent and revealed.

Nash then entered to a warm reception. The announcing team emphasized the brotherly nature of Nash and Triple H's relationship.

Triple H attempted to downplay the conspiracy of the situation. Nash claimed that the text message did come from Triple H, and he asked him to be a man about the situation.

Nash then got up in Triple H's face, and it appeared that there was some bad blood when Triple H said Nash didn't work here.

CM Punk's music hit and, as JR stated, business was picking up. CM Punk asked who sent the text message.

He claimed it could be Triple H, Kevin Nash or Stephanie McMahon.

Punk then made his way to the ring and called out Kevin Nash. He stated he was a line-stepper and so was Nash.

At this point the crowd started cheering Punk, and Triple H interrupted Punk from going after Nash. Triple H and Punk got in each other's faces, and Triple H said he would lay out CM Punk if he crosses him again.

Punk then said, "I wouldn't want you to fold up your suit and put it in your wife's purse.... where you also put your cellphone and your balls..."

Nash then rocked CM Punk with a big right, and both Triple H and Nash hightailed out of the ring.

To continue this angle further, Triple H asked Kevin Nash to leave, only for John Laurinaitis, aka Funkman, to inform him that Nash was in a car accident and was being taken to the hospital.

So we thought.

Monday Night Raw ended last week in predictable fashion, with CM Punk being screwed once again by "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash.

John Cena and CM Punk were vying for the opportunity to challenge Alberto Del Rio for the undisputed WWE championship at Night of Champions.

To the casual fan, it was surprising to see Kevin Nash come out during the main event. He was supposedly on his way to the hospital after being involved in a car accident. However, the hardcore fans knew better and were not surprised.

But, what we don't know is the following: 

1. Will Triple H confront John Laurinaitis?

Mr. Laurinaitis and COO Triple H have appeared to have some visible tension on-screen. 

Laurinaitis most likely resents Triple H because he was passed over for the new job due to nepotism. For obvious reasons he had to take some form of action. 

2. Will John Laurinaitis and Kevin Nash's partnership be exposed?

If in fact John Laurinaitis and Kevin Nash are working together, Triple H most likely wouldn't have suspected a thing.

The two are best buddies in real life and trust each other. However, it is pretty clear now that Laurinaitis and Nash are on the same page and Triple H has been left in the cold.

At this point if a Team Nash-vs.-Team Triple H match is in the work for Survivor Series, this week would be a good time to expose the relationship. 

3. Will the events of Monday's Raw carry over to Smackdown on Tuesday?

Smackdown will air live on Tuesday night and it is being promoted as a "Super Smackdown."

Usually, we are forced to wait a week to pick up where we left off on the previous week's Raw.

This week, we could see some major actions carry over to the following night. It should be two nights of great programing for sure.

Last week's programing  was certainly another interesting episode of Monday Night Raw.

Wrestling is for the fans, and we have a voice. We want wrestling, and I feel this is a great way to air out some ideas.
