* The following is the official WWE.com RAW Preview:
SHOWDOWN IN THE DESERT
May 3, 2004
Two weeks after the announcement that shocked the wrestling world, the Showdown in the Desert will happen next week on Monday Night RAW. The World Heavyweight Championship will be on the line when Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit meet, live from Phoenix. Will the Showstopper be able to overcome the man who made him tap out at Backlash? Find out on RAW.
Also, it has been a disastrous two weeks for Evolution. Between Triple H not leaving Backlash as World Heavyweight Champion, Ric Flair & Batista losing the World Tag Team Championship the very next night (and then losing the rematch with Edge and Chris Benoit one week later) and Randy Orton being attacked by Shelton Benjamin last week on RAW, the foursome will not be in good spirits on RAW this week. What does that mean for the rest of the RAW roster? Who will feel the wrath of Evolution? Find out on RAW. All of this and more on Monday Night RAW at 9/8 PM CT on Spike TV.
