WWE News: Raw Preview - Orton & Kennedy vs. Michaels & Hardy (w/Keller Analysis) Oct 22, 2007 - 4:38:23 PM
WWE Raw tonight headlines with Randy Orton teaming with a potential Cyber Sunday opponent Mr. Kennedy against his two other potential Cyber Sunday opponents, Jeff Hardy and Shawn Michaels.

WWE.com continued to nudge WWE fans toward voting to its desired choices, Michaels: "Unlike Hardy and Kennedy, Michaels’ issues with Orton are personal. His rivalry with the third-generation Superstar go beyond the WWE Championship as he is seeking revenge for Orton trying to end his career several months ago. HBK sees no better route to vengeance than taking away Orton’s cherished WWE Title. Two mouthfuls of Sweet Chin Music have left an impression on Orton, and HBK hopes, you, the voters on Cyber Sunday, may seek to get another kick out of his campaign this Monday."
Also scheduled: Beth Phoenix vs. Candice Michelle.
Keller Analysis: Look tonight for WWE to feature Michaels in a way that again nudges fans to vote for him and, more importantly (because they can lie about voting results if they want to or have to), get PPV buyers excited about the prospect of an Orton vs. Michaels main event at Cyber Sunday. Hardy will get a few exciting spots in, and Kennedy will have a dispute of some kind with Orton, but the match will likely be booked in a way that clearly elevates Michaels even further as the top heated rival with Orton with the hottest personal issue.
