Neuer Co-Commentator für SmackDown!/Al Barone verpflichtet/Official Raw Preview

[Double F]

-SmackDown! hat seit dem gestrigen Backlash-PPV einen neuen Co-Commentator. Mick Foley übernahm dies nun also von Jonathan Coachman und wird in Zukunft durch die Matches führen. Somit war "The Coach" wieder einmal nur Lückenfüller bei einem Kommentatorenposten. Foley hatte bislang bei WWE nur durch den ersten One Night Stand PPV als Kommentator geführt und nun übernimmt er den Posten neben Michael Cole.

-Wie wir schon berichteten wird Santino Marella einen Bodyguard zur Seite bekommen. Es gab Gerüchte, dass dies der IWA- und WWC-Wrestler Al Barone sein wird, welche nun offenbar bestätigt sind. So wurde dieser von der WWE engagiert und wird wohl auch bald im WWE-TV auftauchen. Bei der IWA heißt Al Barone "Cyber Viking" und bei WWC Paul Leduc.

When the dust settles at Backlash, who will wear the WWE Championship as Raw rolls into the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J.?

After defeating three Superstars in one night last week on Raw, General Manager William Regal will be officially coronated Monday night as the 17th King of the Ring, in a ceremony full of pomp and prestige. Will the newest English monarch be a benevolent ruler or a cruel dictator? What might be first on his majestic agenda now that he’s the Raw brand’s truly regal GM? We'll find out as the crown and scepter are bestowed on Regal Monday night.

Will a new WWE Champion be first to greet the new King? Will WWE Champion Randy Orton have survived one of the biggest challenges of his career, facing three former WWE Champions at Backlash in a Fatal Four Way Elimination Match? Could it be that John Cena, Triple H or John “Bradshaw” Layfield will see the gold return to their waist once again?

After Batista and Shawn Michaels settle their differences at Backlash over the retirement of their friend, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, will The Showstopper be able to claim a huge victory over The Animal? Or will HBK be licking his wounds after a Batista Bomb knockout?

Also, after a barbaric battle between two titanic Superstars in Baltimore, will Big Show be boasting of his victory over The Great Khali? Or will the Punjabi giant have posted a win over The Largest Athlete in the World?

Finally, Mr. Kennedy will make his return to Raw this Monday night. Fully recovered from the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania XXIV, will the Green Bay gladiator aim to exact revenge for that painful loss?

We’ll find out the answers to these and many more questions as Monday Night Raw airs live at 9/8 CT on USA Network.
