With six days to go to the biggest show of the year, all the superstars are under the roof for another episode of RAW! Who gains momentum heading to the dance? There’s only one way to find out and that is to click to read the entire report!
Welcome to RAW! We are six days until Wrestlemania and John Cena is out the chute. He feels the energy and after all those things that happened in the last year, they will dance on Sunday. After facing 17 people last week, he is dead set on winning the WWE Title.
 Well…it’s the Big Show!
Big Show doesn’t look like he is in a very good mood tonight. He says that Wrestlemania will be the end of Floyd Mayweather’s boxing career.
The closing bell rings…looks like WWE has had another great day at the stock market.
JBL is the one that makes history and the one that revealed that Hornswoggle is Finlay’s son. He promises to deliver the greatest beating in Wrestlemania. He asks Cena a question and Cena responds with how he kicked JBL’s ass three years ago. HAHA!
The One Man Dynasty Comes…
No one believes in Randy Orton’s chances and he likes that. After he retains the title, everyone will be talking about him.
And now for someone that speaks in Samoan.
Umaga takes the microphone forcibly and HE SPEAKS! Well, sorta. He tells Batista to bring it. Cena plays it off as support for him, makes fun of Orton, and we get another guest.
The King of Kings will return to his throne.
Triple H pimps his awesome new shirt. He says that there is one reason that they are in this business…the WWE Championship. JBL interrupts and we get a lot of arguing until the Voice of Reason, William Regal comes out. He brings out the Wrestlemania Showcase, an eight man no DQ tag match. Randy Orton, Umaga, JBL, & Big Show v. John Cena, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, & Ric Flair. Give me a HELL YEAH!

WWE Rewind:Â Ric Flair is beaten to a pulp, yet he still beats Vince McMahon last week. – Awesome enough it has to be shown twice!
WOOOOO!!!!!
Ric Flair thanks the fans for respecting him. He asks if he would had beat Mr. McMahon, but with Shawn Michaels interferring, he now has an issue with him. He calls out Shawn so they can talk man to man. He answers the call to a higher authority. He tells Flair that he is the Dirtiest Player in the Game. He did what he did last week because of that theory. He goes through Flair’s sayings and Flair screams SHUT UP! He doesn’t need anyone to tell him who he is. Flair pulls out the old NWA World Championship, the same title he won in 1981! Flair doesn’t care what year it is because he picked Shawn to face at Wrestlemania because he’s got something to prove. He needs to be the Naitch! Shawn assures Ric that he will give him the whole nine yards. Flair expects nothing less. Flair picks up the NWA title and Shawn reminds him of a story about Old Yeller. He says that he will take Flair to the woodshed and put him out of his misery.
Flair goes livid…SLAPPING THE TASTE out of Shawn! He wants it now! Shawn repeats what he said a moment ago and he leaves with the crowd booing him.Â
