Chris Jericho was back in typical form both on the mic and in the ring last week even though he saw the tables turned on his trolling by WWE Champion C.M. Punk.

Despite a lot of attention to a possible WrestleMania rematch between the Undertake and Triple H, last week’s Raw managed to shine the spotlight around quite a bit throughout the night. The twelve Elimination Chamber participants from Raw and Smackdown were in action along with a host of Divas and this year’s Royal Rumble winner, Sheamus. Hopefully that kind of balance will continue on the last live show before this Sunday’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.

The Undertaker returned after nearly a year to challenge Triple H for a rematch at the "Super Bowl of Sports Entertainment," WrestleMania XXVIII.

With the 2012 Royal Rumble in the rear view mirror, we’re well on the Road to WreslteMania XXVIII. Last week’s Raw in Kansas City, Missouri, gave some strong indications where things are headed as Chris Jericho performed a sneak attack on WWE Champion C.M. Punk and the Undertaker returned to challenge Triple H. No decision has been made on who this year’s Rumble winner Sheamus will choose to take on with his guaranteed title match yet, but we’re sure to get more on all these fronts tonight in Oklahoma City.

Sheamus emerged with an unexpected victory in the 25th Annual Royal Rumble match last night, earning a championship match at WrestleMania XXVIII.

The WWE Royal Rumble is the one event other than WrestleMania that is always on our watch list. Last night’s 25th anniversary Royal Rumble show from St. Louis, Missouri, certainly had its ups and downs, and overall it was about average among the installments in the event’s history. A lot of effort went into what were meant to be funny entries in the Rumble match and a layer of intrigue was added to this year’s feature battle royal when it was announced that “for the first time, every WWE Superstar is eligible to compete” during the promo package. Neither of us were sure exactly what that meant, but some of our speculation as well as all of last night’s results can be found inside as we get ready for Raw tonight from Kansas City, Missouri.

WWE Legend, Mick Foley, returned to Raw last week mixing it up with WWE Champion C.M. Punk against Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis and even teased an appearance in this Sunday's Royal Rumble.

As we head into this year’s Royal Rumble, a night when more of the WWE roster is in the spotlight than any other, it was nice to see that last week’s Raw from Anaheim, California, had just about the right amount of everything. Instead of multiple segments dedicated to John Cena, Kane, or what’s happening on Smackdown, there was a great balance across the roster throughout the night. Let’s hope that tonight’s show from Phoenix, Arizona, can find the right recipe for the last Monday Night Raw before a big pay-per-view event.

That t-shirt was asking the same question we were last Monday as Zach Ryder and Eve attempted to flee from Kane.

Last week’s Monday Night Raw from Corpus Christi, Texas had more Kane and John Cena than you could ask for and tonight is likely to be more of the same. Last week also featured a lot of Smackdown promotion to the point where it was arguably half of the show. It’s nice to see some unfamiliar faces on Monday nights, but it seemed to come at the expense of some of the Superstars that have been carrying the show from week to week. Promotion also seemed to begin in earnest for the 25th annual Royal Rumble last week, and I expect we’ll be seeing a lot of bodies going over the top rope tonight in Anaheim, California.
