All hail the King!
April 28, 2008
When the dust settles at Backlash, who will wear the WWE Championship as Raw rolls into the Izod Center in East Rutherford, N.J.?
After defeating three Superstars in one night last week on Raw, General Manager William Regal will be officially coronated Monday night as the 17th King of the Ring, in a ceremony full of pomp and prestige. Will the newest English monarch be a benevolent ruler or a cruel dictator? What might be first on his majestic agenda now that he’s the Raw brand’s truly regal GM? We'll find out as the crown and scepter are bestowed on Regal Monday night.
Will a new WWE Champion be first to greet the new King? Will WWE Champion Randy Orton have survived one of the biggest challenges of his career, facing three former WWE Champions at Backlash in a Fatal Four Way Elimination Match? Could it be that John Cena, Triple H or John “Bradshaw” Layfield will see the gold return to their waist once again?
After Batista and Shawn Michaels settle their differences at Backlash over the retirement of their friend, WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair, will The Showstopper be able to claim a huge victory over The Animal? Or will HBK be licking his wounds after a Batista Bomb knockout?
Also, after a barbaric battle between two titanic Superstars in Baltimore, will Big Show be boasting of his victory over The Great Khali? Or will the Punjabi giant have posted a win over The Largest Athlete in the World?
Finally, Mr. Kennedy will make his return to Raw this Monday night. Fully recovered from the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania XXIV, will the Green Bay gladiator aim to exact revenge for that painful loss?
We’ll find out the answers to these and many more questions as Monday Night Raw airs live at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

Two kings crowned
April 28, 2008
After months of chasing Randy Orton and the WWE Championship, The Game is finally back on top. Triple H won the hard-fought Fatal Four Way Elimination Match at Backlash to reclaim his throne as The King of Kings and become the new WWE Champion.
As Triple H knows from experience with this being his 12th reign as World Champion, when you’re at the top, the target is on your back. Who will set their sights on The Game and his newly won gold? Will Randy Orton be looking to regain the WWE Championship and reinstate the “Age of Orton”?
Also, after defeating three Superstars in one night last week on Raw, General Manager William Regal will be officially coronated Monday night as the 2008 King of the Ring, in a ceremony full of pomp and prestige. Will the newest English monarch be a benevolent ruler or a cruel dictator? Will The King of Kings and new WWE Champion steal his glory? We'll find out as the crown and scepter are bestowed to Regal Monday night.
Last night, Shawn Michaels put his body on the line and gave everything to finally silence Batista once and for all. Will HBK be well enough to make it to the ring after the heated battle? Will Batista have gotten the point and leave The Showstopper alone?
Fully recovered from the Money in the Bank Match at WrestleMania XXIV, Mr. Kennedy will make his triumphant return to Raw. Will he be looking to throw his hat into the ring with the new WWE Champion? Or will he decide to avenge his loss at WrestleMania? What’s up next for the Green Bay loudmouth as Raw hits the Garden State?
Backlash also saw The Glamazon get the win in the 12-Diva Tag-Team Match by pinning Ashley. Was this just a message to Michelle McCool and Women’s Champion Mickie James? Will Beth Phoenix be aiming to get revenge on McCool for her slap last Monday, or will she focus on regaining the WWE Women’s Championship?
We’ll see the answer to all these questions and more when Monday Night Raw airs live at 9/8 CT on USA Network.
