Two weeks before WrestleMania 28, WWE travels to Philadelphia for Monday's Raw TV taping that will continue to hammer home key points in the big Mania feuds.

The Rock noted on Twitter Sunday that he's bringing a "surprise" for John Cena, who is advertised for a singles match against Mark Henry. Henry has been rebuilt the past two weeks, which appears to be designed to potentially give Cena a quality win on Raw.

The other big item advertised is Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and The Undertaker in the same ring at the same time for the first time in the build-up to Taker-Hunter at Mania. The additional advertising is that all three men will make a prediction on who will win the "end of an era" match.

The other Big Mania feud from the Raw brand will include WWE champion C.M. Punk's response to Chris Jericho, who introduced the storyline of Punk having an alcoholic father on last week's Raw.

-- WWE is close to finalizing the WrestleMania line-up, but still has six more wrestlers to add to the mix in the Team Teddy Long vs. Team John Laurinaitis 12-man tag match.

-- Smackdown brand wrestlers advertised for the Raw taping include World Hvt. champion Daniel Bryan, Sheamus, Henry, Randy Orton, Big Show, and IC champion Cody Rhodes. Also of note is Brodus Clay is advertised after returning to TV on last week's Raw.

-- The advertised bonus match for the live crowd in Philadelphia is John Cena & C.M. Punk vs. Chris Jericho & Kane.

-- Torch Reader Alert: We're looking for a correspondent at the TV taping. Email us at pwtorch@gmail.com if you plan to attend.

Nice Guys Finish Last

Thank you,and have a nice day !

I am thinking that way too, probably to keep Cena still viable as a Good guy after Mania. The way it's going if the match wasn't in Miami, the crowd would be more on Cena's side.

For some reason I have a feeling the night after Mania, they will have tag team match with Rock-Cena being a team against 2 other guys.

For tonight, hopefully Cena can still show up after his accident.

The Triple H-HBK-Taker could be something, last year the Raw before Mania they had a good in-ring segment. Now WWE.COM has video of Triple H giving the tombstone, over the weekend it looks like and also to Dolph Ziggler.

Does Punk get the upper hand on Jericho, Jericho has the got them the last couple weeks.

Tonight...


BALD TAKER!!!!!!!

swagger isn't janetty territory or anything... that's its own special plateau of... jannetydom, but like, still, i just wanna see #HEEL (notice how quickly vince stepped in and squahsed that? fucking hater.. "SAVE THE KAYFABE!!!" even tho CM punk's promos were the hottest thing you had in years you fucking assclowns) do his thing.
