WWE Raw Preview, Spoilers for August 25, 2014: John Cena Addresses WWE Universe After Beat-Down at "SummerSlam"
WWE Monday Night Raw will kick-off Monday in Anaheim, California with WWE Hall of Famers Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair discussing the upcoming Night of Champions main event rematch between WWE World Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar and John Cena, with the legendary former champions all pulling for Cena according to their latest Twitter posts.
Cena may want to pay close attention, considering all three have faced incredible obstacles during their respective title reigns, knowing a thing or two about overcoming odds during their illustrious careers. What advice do the WWE HOFers have for Cena?
Speaking of the former champ, Cena will also be in attendance at the Honda Center in Anaheim this week, to address his SummerSlam world title defeat at the hands of "The Beast Incarnate." While Cena's body may be healed and rested after the utter dismantling he suffered in the SummerSlam main event -- including a series of German Suplexes that looked like they almost broke Cena in half as well as two devasting F5s -- questions remain whether his mind is right after such a one-sided loss. Will the former champion be ready for Night of Champions, or is Lesnar in Cena's head after handing Cena what can only be described as a mauling?
Rusev has been running roughshod in WWE since his promotion to the main roster as Lana continues to extol the virtues of Russia. But Mark Henry, a former U.S. Olympian, has had enough of the political rhetoric from Lana and "The Hero of the Russian Federation," confronting the European power duo last week on Raw. Will "The World's Strongest Man" -- who has been busy of late in the tag team scene teaming up with The Big Show as part of the "The World's Strongest Tag Team" -- make time this week to confront Rusev if Lana continues to run down the United States?
Nikki Bella has been on a roll since siding with Stephanie McMahon and The Authority after betraying her sister at SummerSlam. Nikki's newfound "Ruthless Aggression" has already propelled her to a victory over Emma on Main Event. Can Brie gather her emotions and take care of business against her sister as she continues her war against The Authority, or will Nikki and McMahon have the last laugh?
It seems like Seth Rollins finally took care of his "Dean Ambrose Problem" after having taken out his former Shield stablemate by Curbing Stomping him onto a pile of cinder blocks last week on Raw. While Ambrose disappeared before he could get medical attention, considering the beat-down that Rollins and Kane gave Ambrose, chances are "The Lunatic Fringe" will not be back for a while as he licks his wounds. What's next for the Money In The Bank suitcase holder now that Triple H's "Plan C" (Brock Lesnar) has the title?
