WWE continues the two-week European Tour with both Raw and Smackdown crews traveling to London, England for this week's Raw TV taping. The episode will be taped a few hours before airing on USA Network in the U.S. at 9:00 p.n. EST.

The top item advertised for Raw is WWE champion C.M. Punk vs. Mark Henry for the WWE Title for the third consecutive episode following WrestleMania. This week, it will be a No DQ/No Count-out match for the title. Following this match, WWE is expected to set up Punk vs. Chris Jericho at the Extreme Rules PPV.

Newly-returning star Brock Lesnar is not advertised for an overseas trip to London for the Raw taping. WWE is expected to run an angle involving Lesnar and John Cena ahead of their PPV main event at Extreme Rules in two weeks.

For the live crowd in London, WWE is advertising John Cena vs. Kane in a Last Man Standing match.

Kane joined the Smackdown tour a few days ago and is advertised for the taping along with Smackdown stars World Hvt. champion Sheamus, Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton, IC champion Big Show, Cody Rhodes, and Henry in the title match

Thank you,and have a nice day !

Can I ask, what is the plan for the big 2 matches after the next ppv, with Cena-Lesnar now being a No DQ or No Count-out, there will be a winner and I would say Lesnar wins.

I will go with Punk winning too, since Jericho maybe going bye-bye after this ppv, does that set up Lesnar-Punk.

Then what happens with Cena, Lord Tensai.

I will ask this, is the ultimate plan for Lesnar to face Taker at next year's Mania.

I can't wait for both Drop In and Bob Loblaw to give their thoughts on this.

How do they say "YES" in England?


And do they say "PARDON" after everything a heel says instead of "WHAT"?

You guys realize that when David Otunga was on that reality TV show, his name was "Punk".

They are being quite vocal so far.

And CM Punk's name in the comic book Ed Brubaker made for him was "Otunga".

I think Mark Henry is hurt for real.

Oh shit!!!! Punk vs Jericho in the Chi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Chicago, when we fight in the street someone usually ends up shot.

Punk's "father" turns heel at the PPV.

Few minutes behind catching up on Tivo - that was a really solid opening match. I like when they actually wrestle on Raw.

It was nice of Jennifer Hudson to give Otunga her old coats for entrances.

Otunga was robbed.

Zack Ryder has taken over the Santino role.

That was awful from Cole.

No way in hell Vince lets Cena lose clean two months in a row (much less twice a year), hence the stip. I think you'll get Brock v Taker at Mania and to make that matter Brock can't lose before then. If Cena can't lose again and Brock can't lose, well now we have a reason to watch for once. I'm predicting a Double Count out to set up a match for next month.

Punk will work with a DOA Tensai, ADR vs Sheamus. I don't see Punk winning in Chicago twice in a row either. I could see Jericho winning the title (maybe via tensai interference) and losing it on raw the next night.

Is Daniel Bryan the most over guy with great crowds?

They were chanting yes during Cena's little speech. Whats up with that?

I love the YES! gimmick. Simple and catchy and depending on inflection can be used to heel or face.

So after a solid opening match we have a bunch of shit. I wanted to give this Tensai thing a chance but that promo was brutal. Ugh.

let's see how Tensai does in the match against Cena.
