WWE Monday Night Raw Preview for Monday 12.03.2012 — Are CM Punk and The Shield Connected? Plus Will Dolph Ziggler Ever Realize He Can’t Beat Super Cena?

News, Previews, Top Story

WWE Monday Night Raw is live tonight (12/3/12) in Greensboro, N.C. There are currently no advertised items ahead of tonight’s live three-hour broadcast, but there are still a few big items suspected to be on tap as WWE continues to build towards its TLC PPV on Sunday 12/16. Check out the preview below:

–The Shield said previously that they are not the Nexus, they are not affiliated with CM Punk, and they are out for justice in the WWE. Either this is the most telegraphed / spoon-fed angle of the year that will lead to Punk being the “higher power”, or WWE has something more clever in mind. What do you think the more likely scenario is? Either way, I expect this picture to remain cloudy tonight on Raw with more shenanigans taking place between this budding group and Ryback to protect our WWE Champion.

–Dolph Ziggler still thinks be can top Super Cena in a feud. Poor guy. Meanwhile, AJ Lee and Johnny Boy will continue to make Nikki Bella work all that much harder in the bedroom to keep Cena “on her arm” off screen, if you know what I mean.

–Lastly, Sheamus and Big Show are still on their collision course for TLC. With Raw still being an elongated, overextended offering, I fully expect the blue brand to get more spotlight tonight.

–CB’s Raw Preview Question of the Week: Where is Brad Maddox, anyway? Just sayin’.

All this and more on Raw … tonight!
