RAW PREVIEW - "GO HOME" SHOW
1) Mack worrying the WWE Champ?
Last week in Raw's main event, David Degenerate and #1 contender Mack Wheeler faced off in a non-title matchup. The WWE champ clearly did not take his opponent seriously, and it cost him! The "Human Semi" dominated the match and seemed poised to win after delivering his finishing spear and trying a pin, but Mr. McMahon interfered and David lost by DQ. Mack then demanded an official title match and requested the Tables, Ladders & Chairs stipulation. Raw GM Stephanie McMahon honored the request on the big screen, so the "Dangerous Genius" might need to re-calibrate for his new challenger!
2) Gravedigger draws first blood
The "Graveyard Monster" came out and explained his actions from the previous week, when he attacked Carson Pain mid-match and helped Mack retain his #1 contender spot. 'Digger was not fond of Carson receiving multiple chances at recapturing the WWE Title, and vowed to end the "broken shell of a man" in a PPV match! Carson came down to reply and accused Gravedigger of being the one behind the vehicular attack on DMK, but the "Monster" denied that and claimed it to be a "cowardly" action. 'Digger offended "The Original" by claiming that DMK was a much stronger person, and a brawl broke out! In the end, it was 'Digger standing tall with Carson bleeding from the forehead. How will Carson respond this week, and will anything more be added to their upcoming PPV match?
3) Brett & Renegade agreed to a U.S. Title clash
Last week, Renegade officially issued a challenge to U.S. champ Brett Diamond, demanding a rematch from their title clash back at Judgment Day. But to make things more interesting, the "Party Animal" wanted to battle in a Table match! The "Professional" agreed, but pal Beth Phoenix thought that it was not a great idea. Brett and Renegade haven't really had much interaction, so it will interesting to see what happens in the buildup to their PPV title bout!
4) Two title matches scheduled for this week
Raw will feature 2 title matches this week just a few days before the Tables, Ladders & Chairs PPV. Tag Team champs Alpha & Omega were attacked twice by the Bullet Boyz last week, demanding a title rematch! Will the Japanese luchadors be able to rally and retain, or were the multiple attacks enough to weaken them? In other news, Hardcore champ Tank Blazer issued an open challenge for his title and former hockey player Corey Youngblood answered the call! The "Captain" will defend his belt on Monday's show, making two title bouts for Raw!

SMACKDOWN PREVIEW - "GO HOME" SHOW
1) A weakened World champ... or playing possum?
World Heavyweight champ Eric Executioner and his manager Mr. Black have had arguably their worst month every since they've joined forces, and that trend continued last week. The 3 challengers for Eric's title - Ace, Antonio Jordan & Rebel Ford - all teamed up to defeat Eric's 3-man squad last week in a big main event. But after the match, Eric & Mr. Black were seen laughing strangely despite just suffering yet another loss. Is the sinister duo planning something, or are they hiding something up their sleeve? All 3 challengers have worked well together so far, but what will happen at the PPV when they have to battle each other in hopes of ending Eric's reign? This week could give us an indication of that, but it could depend on if Eric & Mr. Black have something to change the course of this month's buildup!
2) Guy Justice hosts Angus & Joseph
Another edition of "In Search of Truth" featuring Guy Justice as host will be on this week's episode of Smackdown, with two special guests... Angus and Joseph T. Lutte! The feuding rivals have had altercations over the Money in the Bank briefcase, and last week had a brutal Falls Count Anywhere battle. What will the European foes have to say, and will Justice's controversial segment play any role in their rivalry?
3) Eve steals the #1 contender spot
Eve Torres made a surprising return to Smackdown a few weeks ago, and shocked everyone more by turning heel and betraying Audrey Vega. Last week, a Triple Threat #1 contender's match between Eve, Audrey and Michelle McCool got really intense and violent. A sledgehammer was the weapon of choice for all 3 ladies, and Eve received the brunt of most of the match's carnage! In the end, Michelle McCool appeared ready to win the match after hitting her finisher on Audrey, but Eve recovered and stole the win! To make things worse, Eve attacked Audrey after the match! Now with Eve in line to face Jersey Jenny for the Women's Title, but her rivalry with Audrey still brewing, it will be interesting to see what develops just days away from the PPV!
4) Hitman & H.E.R.O. score a big win
The H-Squared duo put an impressive beatdown on Parker & Coop en route to a big victory to open last week's show. Their commitment to improving their teamwork seems to be working, and it could lead to bigger and better things. Possibly a Tag Team Title shot in the near future?
