Official WWE RAW Preview (4/16/07): Melee In Milan

Credit: WWE.com

This week, Raw will broadcast from Italy for the first-time ever when the Superstars invade Milan’s Datchforum.

There will be only two Raws left before Backlash, and John Cena knows that he will face not one, but three challengers for the WWE Championship on April 29. Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton and Edge all believe they should be the only one getting the chance to take on Cena; will one of them try to gain momentum against the other three-quarters of Backlash’s main event in Milan?

Last week, The McMahons got a little redemption for WrestleMania when they joined with Umaga to decimate ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley, leaving him bloodied in the ring. With The McMahons & Umaga set to face Lashley in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match for the gold at Backlash, will the Chairman and his cohorts throw an overseas obstacle in Lashley’s way?

Also, Mickie James seems to have Melina in her sights. After attacking the Women’s Champion during a special paparazzi photo op two weeks ago, Mickie teamed with Candice last week to defeat Melina & Victoria in tag team action. Does Mickie have designs on becoming Women’s Champion for a third time, and if so, will she come after Melina again in Milan?

Find out all this and more on Raw, Monday night at 9/8 CT on USA Network.
