RAW PREVIEW
The tension between Hell's Genius allies and Tag Team champs DMK and David Degenerate seemed to slightly dissipate early in the Raw show last week... until the main event. There, David D. seemed to sense an opportunity for DMK to come down to the ring and inflict some damage on rival and WWE champ Carson Pain while the referee was incapacitated... but DMK didn't show. As a result, the "Dangerous Genius" allowed Carson to recover and fell to the WWE champ to end Raw. What is the deal with this power duo? Will they ever figure things out... or is it too late?
2) U.S. #1 Contender Controversy
Speaking of David D. and the U.S. title, Big Mutha Trucker and Tank Blazer agreed to settle their argument over the true #1 contender by squaring off in a singles bout. The problem is... the match ended in a double-countout draw! Fans are interested to see the decision that will be made regarding the U.S. title challengers but the big question is... when will actual champion David D. get himself involved?
3) Hardcore Title Rematch - Part 3?
Last week, Hardcore champ Brett Diamond agreed to another title match with rival Shawn Midnight in order to "finally shut him up". It is clear that the feud between these two is about to reach its breaking point and fans are excited to see the next chapter!
4) Battle of the "toughest" teams continues
Last week, Renegade & Lee Money tried to gain an early advantage over rivals Travis Roarke & Dyland Dynamite by attacking them during their entrance... but the tactic failed as Travis & Dylan won the match. The war of words and physical battles that have taken place between these two teams have been fierce but the ultimate question is... Which team is the "toughest"?
SMACKDOWN PREVIEW
At the end of Smackdown last week, Ace and new World Heavyweight champ Rebel Ford brawled in the ring after a brief exchange of words. Rebel may have seemed confident walking down to the ring, but it was ex-champ Ace that stood tall in the ring with the belt. What's next for these two as they head towards their World title collision at Backlash?
2) The "Frenchman" and the "Mastermind"
Joseph T. Lutte may not have won his match against rival Intercontinental champ Antonio Jordan last week... but he managed to leave "America's Favorite" in a bloody, broken pile of bones. The vicious attack had to be stopped by several WWE officials, and Lutte walked out triumphant. How will Antonio respond this week... if he's in shape to do so?
3) H.E.R.O. makes his Smackdown debut
H.E.R.O. was drafted to Smackdown 2 weeks ago, but had yet to compete on the blue brand. He is expected to be in the building, and fans are giddy to see what type of impact the good-natured competitor will make.
4) ECW Title feud starting to heat up
The 4-way title match between champ Rusty, Guy Justice, Craig Bullet and Paulie Dominos took an interesting turn last week when the "good-guy" tandem of Rusty and Justice failed to communicate and lost to the Bullet Boyz with Paulie D. in tow. Fans shockingly witnessed the fierce post-match argument between them, and rumors have been spreading about what's next in this growing feud between the 4 competitors.
