Here is your 5/24 Raw preview, courtesy of WWE.com: Last week, Monday Night RAW was a night to remember for Kane. The Big Red Monster defeated Val Venis in singles competition, won a Battle Royal to become the No. 1 Contender for the World Heavyweight Championship at Bad Blood and received an answer of "yes" from Lita to a question he posed several weeks ago. With Kane in top form after last week's success, what is next for him as he prepares for his match at Bad Blood? Will his agreement with Lita be revealed? Find out on RAW. Speaking of the Battle Royal, Kane's victory was a result of the suspended Shawn Michaels gaining a measure of payback from Triple H. When the final two were Triple H and Kane, HBK appeared out of nowhere to eliminate The Game and give Kane a trip to Bad Blood. The Game was enraged as RAW came to an end and it is expected that he will be in a bad mood next week on RAW. What will his reaction be? Find out on RAW. All of this and more as the road to Bad Blood continues on Monday Night RAW at 9/8 PM CT on Spike TV. Here is your 5/19 TNA preview, courtesy of NWATNA.com: A new and innovative match in TNA Wrestling, this Wednesday night will truly be a first.
