CM Punk is scheduled to make a return to his hometown of Chicago for Monday Night Raw and will likely seek to have a few words - and more - with Paul Heyman and Ryback, in the aftermath of Punk's Night of Champions loss against Curtis Axel and Heyman. Will Ryback - who has made it clear, after putting Punk through a table at Night of Champions, that he will not allow the Straight-Edge Superstar to bully Heyman - continue to punish Punk, or will the "Voice of the Voiceless" finally get the revenge he seeks against his former mentor?
Last Monday Night Raw saw WWE Superstars start chafing under COO Triple H's way of doing "what's best for business," crushing anyone who has anything negative to say against the company or positive about former WWE champion Daniel Bryan. Stars like Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Rob Van Dam and The Prime-Time Players paid a price on Friday Night Smackdown as a "reward" for saving Bryan from taking another beating at the hands of The Shield and Randy Orton. Will the COO continue to punish the Raw rebels or will more join the uprising against WWE management?
Speaking of Van Dam, RVD has earned another shot at Alberto Del Rio's World Heavyweight Championship, with the match set for the Battleground pay-per-view (PPV), much to the chagrin of Triple H. Considering Van Dam has made clear his allegiances with Daniel Bryan and the Raw rebellion, what plans does Triple H have for "Mr. Monday Night" as he prepares for his PPV match against ADR?
WWE Divas Champion AJ Lee has promised to run right through the entire Total Divas cast-members to prove she is the best wrestler on the Divas roster and not a reality-show TV star, making an example of Funkadactyl Naomi on Friday Night Smackdown. Who will be the next Total Diva that the champion intends to take down?
Randy Orton is living up to his "Apex Predator" moniker, decimating The Miz in front of his hometown Cleveland crowd and his mother, after Orton crushed a chair on The Miz's head and neck, putting The Miz out of action with a upper toracic injury. "The Viper" wants his WWE title back, after it was held up by Triple H in the controversy ensuing after Night of Champions, and has ensured himself a WWE title match against Daniel Bryan for the vacant championship. But to what lengths will Orton go to take back his title?
Schedule
WWE Raw airs at 8 p.m. EST Monday, Sept. 9, 2013 on the USA Network.
