Raw Five-Point Preview: November 11, 2013

On Sunday, Triple H tweeted, "@KaneWWE: As discussed, we will be watching #WWE #RAW." What was "discussed" between the two parties? The Authority is on vacation, but from where are they watching? And just who's in charge tonight? While the demon may toe the line for Triple H, however, another fiend is also on the loose as Bray Wyatt’s merciless attacks spill over into their third week. What does this tonight’s Raw hold in store for all the key players, including Wyatt and the new No. 1 contender, Big Show? Here are a few theories.

Dangerous alliance

CM Punk gets more than he bargained for when the "Best in the World" faces off with Wyatt Family member Luke Harper.

The Wyatt Family has taken to making an example of CM Punk and Daniel Bryan in recent weeks, battering the two former WWE Champions across both Raw and SmackDown. Some intermittent teamwork between the old rivals has kept Bray Wyatt and his clan at bay, but perhaps something stronger will be needed to drive the backwoods fiends back. Might we see a full-fledged coalition formed on Raw this week?

Three-way dance

World Champion John Cena and the WWE Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes & Goldust face Damien Sandow & The Real Americans.

John Cena has already backed up his World Heavyweight Championship victory at WWE Hell in a Cell with several more wins, including a grueling title defense against Damien Sandow. But with not one but two Superstars circling The Champ’s prize – Sandow himself and former champion Alberto Del Rio – can the Cenation leader, still recovering from surgery, rise above a pair of rabid dogs hell-bent on taking his gold?

Be careful what you wish for

Big Show has a major challenge in his "first match" after being rehired when he must face WWE Champion Randy Orton & The Shield in a 4-on-1 Handicap Match.

Big Show made some power moves that got him his job back last week, and was promptly rewarded with the beating of a lifetime courtesy of Randy Orton and The Shield. Granted, he also got the WWE Title Match against Randy Orton he wanted, but it certainly seems like The Authority’s going to do everything they can to stop him from even making it to Survivor Series. With The World’s Largest Bullseye plastered across the giant’s back, what’s in store for the No. 1 contender come Monday?

The Authority on vacation

WWE.com captured The Authority leaving a beaten Big Show down on the ground at ringside after Raw went off the air.

Most people compare their bosses to Satan as it is, but now the WWE locker room has to contend with Kane as a bona fide Authority figure. As Triple H’s latest recruit within his burgeoning power structure, The Big Red Monster has taken up residence as WWE’s Director of Operations, though his duties, responsibilities, and more importantly, his powers, remain unclear. And with The Authority on vacation, exactly how Kane comes into play is yet to be seen. However, it stands to reason that all of those questions will be answered very, very soon, and the suit-and-tie Kane may prove to be the most devious incarnation of the former World Champion the WWE Universe has ever seen. Tune into Raw tonight at 8/7 CT to see what goes down while The Authority is away.
