RAW Preview for April 16, 2007

From WWE.com:

Preview: Melee in Milan
April 16, 2007

This week, Raw will broadcast from Italy for the first time ever when the Superstars invade Milan’s Datchforum.

By order of Executive Assistant Jonathan Coachman, WWE Champion John Cena will face Rated-RKO in a Handicap Match on Raw.

Jonathan Coachman is a vindictive decision maker, as this is the same main event he had made for Backlash before being overruled by Honorary General Manager Michael Pena.

In addition, a Diva Fashion Show has been scheduled in the fashion capital of the world – Milan, Italy.

Last week, The McMahons got a little redemption for WrestleMania when they joined with Umaga to decimate ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley, leaving him bloodied in the ring. With The McMahons & the Intercontinental Champion set to face Lashley in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match for the gold at Backlash, will the Chairman and his cohorts throw an overseas obstacle in Lashley’s way?

Also, Mickie James seems to have Melina in her sights. After attacking the Women’s Champion during a special paparazzi photo op two weeks ago, Mickie teamed with Candice last week to defeat Melina & Victoria in tag team action. Does Mickie have designs on becoming Women’s Champion for a third time, and if so, will she come after Melina again in Milan?

Find out all this and more on Raw, Monday night at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

Tommy P. will have his (semi-)LIVE RAW coverage tonight, followed by Hatton and his Rabble, so stay tuned to Pulse Wrestling.

Matthew Michaels is editor emeritus of Pulse Wrestling, and has been since the site launched.
