WWE Raw Is Muppets: Mark Henry vs. CM Punk, the Rock and Michael Cole/JR

Justin WatryOct 31, 2011

This is going to be a huge WWE Raw SuperShow for the company! Yes, it is that big.

WWE has announced a loaded card for tonight's show, and the hype is certainly there. This is going to be a "test" for WWE to see how invested the audience is in the current stories. Of course, most are expecting a bump in the ratings as well for tonight.

First, we have Mark Henry versus CM Punk. If Punk wins, he gets a WWE Title match against Alberto Del Rio at Survivor Series. Well, I don't even need to comment on this match. Yes, it is a non-title match here, but Mark Henry is never, ever losing his World Heavyweight Championship!

I am sure WWE will find a way for Punk to get his title match somehow. Pinning or submitting Henry, though, on WWE Raw? Not happening...

Up next is the big Michael Cole challenge. If Cole loses, he will quit Raw. If Jim Ross wins (whatever the rules are), he gets his seat at commentary back. Well, the outcome writes itself.

JR wins. Cole leaves the booth. Send him to SmackDown, have him manage Swagger, or even become the Raw GM down the line. Anything to end this "announcer's feud" please!

The Rock will also be in the "house." I say that with pause because it is my opinion that he will not actually be in the arena. I have made that very clear over the past week. Him appearing in person would be a major mistake.

Of course, he will accept the tag match at Survivor Series with John Cena. How do we get there? You have to tune it to see/hear what Rocky will do next.

Finally, the Muppets are hosting WWE Raw! Yes, it is Halloween, so why not have a little fun? I have already made a few predictions on this topic, but it bears repeating: Sheamus and Beaker need to interact. I mean, they really have to! Also, Statler and Waldorf doing commentary would be an instant "Slammy Award" moment for WWE!

I am telling you: If the Muppets are epic as they usually are, I am going to grade this show a "A++++" without hesitation. The Muppets will entertain fans and non-fans alike. Trust me!

As I said above, this is a big night for the company. If the live crowd in Atlanta is very receptive to the stories, WWE is on the right track heading into Survivor Series. If anything falls flat, WWE may hit the proverbial "panic button" the following week.

That can't happen. Tonight must deliver a great show!

The pressure is on. Can WWE come through in the clutch? We will find out in a few hours...

I am now on Twitter! Feel free to add/follow me. Thanks!
