Raw News
The turn of the new year sees John Cena still as champion and locked in a feud with Kurt Angle. Not only is the feud ongoing from the Fall of '05, but his fan support remains questionable. At at recent match versus the Olympic Gold Medalist, fans were torn in rooting or booing both participants. Apparently Vince McMahon puts a lot of stock in Cena as champion, but a heel turn cannot be ruled out.
Ric Flair's real life road rage legal issue remains a focal point for Edge as the injured superstar challenges the Intercontinental Champion at year's end. Edge currently hosts "The Cutting Edge", an in-ring interview segment, while he rehabs a recent injury. The segment replaced Carlito's Cabana. All the while Edge cashed in the money in the bank contract for a surprise shot and win over John Cena at New Year's Revolution. Cena and Edge clash at February's Royal Rumble.
The firing of Eric Bischoff leaves Raw without a general manager. His actual status with the company is uncertain and he may actually be on his way out. Dusty Rhodes, now under contract as a writer, is a rumored replacement for the Raw manager.
Dave Batista remains world champion despite challenges from Randy Orton and others during the final months of 2005. The sudden and sad passing of Eddie Guerrero left Batista without a major challenger for the strap, so the champ sided with Rey Mysterio in a campaign versus Raw superstars during the time leading up to the Survivor Series. Mysterio and Batista would end up as Smackdown! tag team champions for a short while before losing to MNM in a cage match.
Smackdown! remains a breeding ground for up and coming talent called up from Deep South and Ohio Valley Wrestling. New talent arises on the Friday night show to challenge Smackdown! main stays such as Booker T, Chris Benoit, William Regal, the Undertaker, etc. The brand is also home to the WWE Cruiserweight division with former TNA star Kid Kash as the present champion.
Wrestlemania 22 takes place at Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois on April 22, 2006. The venue has held two other WM's under its previous name of the Rosemont Horizon.
