RAW 1,000! - Cena/Punk, Dwayne talks about Men's Assess, Bryan/AJ Wedding, LEGENDS!

[The Great One]

For nearly 250 days, WWE Champion CM Punk has seemingly done it all and beaten them all. From staving off five contenders in an Elimination Chamber Match to shining against Chris Jericho on The Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania XXVIII, he has been the epitome of a fighting champion.

Now, Punk must prepare for the most unpredictable fight of his championship reign.

John Cena will cash in his Money in the Bank contract on the historic 1,000th episode of Raw on July 23. Punk knows this much is coming. And he knows the type of match to anticipate as well — one that's relentless and grueling with one of the fiercest rivals of his career. (PLAYLIST: PUNK AND CENA'S RIVALRY)

What he doesn't know, however, is whether The Brahma Bull intends to charge right into the battle lines with nostrils flaring.

It's no secret that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has his sights set on capturing his eighth WWE Championship. He emphatically proclaimed his goal to the WWE Universe on Raw the day after he defeated Cena in a "Once in a Lifetime" Match at WrestleMania XXVIII (WATCH). It's an objective that The Great One reiterated when he recently announced on Twitter that he would be at Raw 1,000, to which Punk replied, "I'm waiting."

History is clearly on Cena's side Monday, as no Superstar has ever unsuccessfully cashed in his Money in the Bank contract, but no contract holder has had to deal with The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment awaiting the perfect chance to thrust himself into the WWE Championship picture.

Could we bear witness to not only the beginning of Cena’s 11th WWE Title reign but also Cena challenging The Rock to a WrestleMania rematch at MetLife Stadium in a clash that would be as big as a New York Giants vs. New York Jets Super Bowl in the same venue? Then again, if Cena cashes in unsuccessfully, will The Rock challenge the seemingly unbeatable Punk to a championship match on Raw 1,001? Or, could The Great One make another WrestleMania challenge and set the stage for an epic battle in the shadow of New York City?

The future possibilities are rife with win-win scenarios for the WWE Universe. Watching the king of the "pipe bomb," CM Punk, trade verbal barbs with an in-your-face, masterful trash-talker like The People's Champion would be sublime. And if we're embarking on another chapter in the Punk-Cena rivalry, it'll be captivating to see Raw's two top dogs duke it out back and forth again over the WWE Title, while The Rock waits in the wings to see who ultimately emerges with the championship gold.

On Raw SuperShow, in spite of Big Show's urging, Cena passed on the easy cash-in attempt on Punk and gave the WWE Champion one week to get ready for "the biggest match of [his] life." At Raw 1,000, with The Rock in attendance, now both champion and challenger must expect the unexpected.

Are y'all ready?

- There’s speculation that the “big angle” Vince McMahon has been wanting will take place at the end of the 1,000th RAW episode on Monday. WWE has reportedly been working on something big for the summer, something similar to the Nexus and CM Punk angles from the past two years.

- Everything is being kept quiet regarding The Undertaker's return but there's still speculation that he may return on Monday's 1,000th RAW episode.

- WWE's website is teasing that The Rock may get involved in the WWE Title match between CM Punk and John Cena on Monday's 1,000th RAW episode.

- There is still no word on whether or not Steve Austin will be appearing on the 1,000th RAW episode. A source says that if Austin can get away from filming Grown Ups 2 then he may appear on RAW but when the date was first announced and brought up to him, there was a conflict.

- WWE's creative committee is rumored to be leaning toward CM Punk retaining the WWE Championship next Monday on Raw SuperShow when John Cena cashes in his Money in the Bank contract. According to PWInsider.com, there is a lot of talk within the organization that Cena will be the first person to not win a title directly after cashing in the briefcase.

Austin has to show up


right?

After competing at Tuesday's SmackDown taping in San Diego, California, Road Warrior Animal stopped by the 100.3 KFAN-FM studios for Extreme Pro Wrestling Radio to discuss this coming Monday's historic 1000th episode of Raw SuperShow and confirmed his and other former WWE Superstars' involvement on the program.

The WWE Hall of Famer may have spoiled the payoff of Heath Slater's returning Raw legend angle while addressing rumors of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's involvement with the program—who has not been announced to appear by WWE.

When asked whether The Rattlesnake will encounter Slater on the show, Animal responded, "Austin will definitely give him the stunner, ya know thats coming! Fans get ready, you're gonna see a stunner!"

Animal, who appeared on Raw in 1997 and 1998, also confirmed that he will be on hand for the festivities: "I will be making an appearance...people will see that my spikes from SmackDown were excellently repainted! Yeah, I'll be there all painted up, with bells on boys! If it happens it happens, I'm ready!"

On what else to expect for the unprecedented show, he said, "It's gonna be star studded, on my flight alone is me, DDP and Bret "Hitman" Hart!"

Yup and then there are these reports things change 10 mins before the show starts.

It has to sometimes, everyone goes into business for themselves and there are literally no surprises in wrestling anymore.

Orton not gonna be there:

Not on the bill? St. Louis wrestling superstar Randy Orton. WWE scratched Orton after he committed his second violation of the WWE’s wellness policy. Levesque won’t say what Orton did wrong, only that the man they call “the legend killer” will be back after completing his 60-day suspension.
“It is important to remember that all of our wrestlers are human but they also have to be accountable,” Levesque said.
