WWE Monday Night Raw<\/em><\/strong> comes to us this week from the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, TN. This is the same location where Batista<\/strong> & John Cena<\/strong> defeated the team of Cody Rhodes<\/strong> & Ted DiBiase Jr.<\/strong> to win the World Tag Team Championship. This would kick off their feud, culminating in their first major match in WWE at SummerSlam 2008<\/em><\/strong>. Despite the previous few weeks seeing Raw<\/em> promote a slate of several matches and segments a week beforehand, this week only sees a variety of segments announced and just one match. Included on this week’s Raw<\/em> are Randy Orton’s<\/strong> 20 year anniversary and a major title defense. Let’s see the line-up Raw<\/em> has set up.<\/p>\n

WWE Raw (4\/25\/22) Full Card<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Randy Orton’s 20 Year Anniversary<\/h3>\n

Right on the dot, Randy Orton’s first appearance on WWE television was televised on April 25, 2002. Technically taped two days before on April 23 from the Peoria Civic Center in Peoria, Illinois, Orton made his debut defeating Hardcore Holly<\/strong>, beginning a now 20 year career that has seen him win 14 world championships, win 2 Royal Rumbles, and headline 2 WrestleManias<\/em><\/strong> as well as having the distinction of entering every WrestleMania<\/em> with every WWE Championship available to him at the time. This week, Raw<\/em> celebrates Orton’s 20 year anniversary.<\/p>\n

Given his Raw<\/em> tag team partner, The Original Bro, Riddle<\/strong>, expect some sort of fun party to be thrown for Orton’s 20 year anniversary. Seeing the major love fans rain down on the team of RK-Bro<\/strong><\/a>, it will likely be a well received segment. However, we have to wonder if The Usos<\/strong> will pay another visit after they attacked the Raw Tag Team Champions in the middle of Sami Zayn<\/strong> & Drew McIntyre’s<\/strong> Lumberjack Match.<\/p>\n
