After last week's walkout led by David Otunga, Alberto Del Rio, Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and Vickie Guerrero, we'll have a continuation of this major storyline tonight on RAW. Supposedly the only guys that will be around are John Cena, CM Punk, Sheamus, Randy Orton, and the Big Show, but obviously those who "walked out" on Triple H last week will be around to continue the storyline.
An interesting thing to look at is the commentary situation, since all three commentators as well as Jerry "The King" Lawler walked out last week. I'd expect JR to be there given his Twitter comments that were sympathetic to Triple H, but will anybody else join him? Maybe Josh Matthews? We'll see.
Another thing to look for is how they'll use the five guys named earlier. Will they be in one main event match or will they have a series of one-on-one matches? Will Kane return to add himself to the mix?
One thing that's for sure, RAW is back to being completely unpredictable, just how everybody likes it. The last time this happened was right after CM Punk's epic promo earlier this year, and the last time before that was...years ago. RAW is at its best when nobody can have a strong opinion about what will happen, and that's what we have right now.

Hell in a Cell Reaction, RAW Preview
It looks like we got most of Hell in a Cell right! The only one we missed was the championship match, which was won by Alberto del Rio. We should have seen it coming since WWE is about to go on their Mexico tour. All we have announced so far for tonight's RAW is a twelve-man tag match, which will likely be used to rest up the main-eventers who took a beating in the cell last night. Here's the match: John Cena, CM Punk, Sheamus, Air Boom and Mason Ryan vs. Alberto Del Rio, Christian, Cody Rhodes, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger and David Otunga. Look for Mason Ryan to get some work and be put over. Enjoy the show!

Hell in a Cell Preview and Picks
John Cena (champ) vs. CM Punk vs. Alberto del Rio in a Hell in a Cell Match
This will be the main event of the evening. There are a lot of different directions that WWE can take here, and it will likely involve some surprises. Will Triple H, Kevin Nash, or even John Laurinaitis get involved? One has to think that one, if not all of them, will at some point. We've also heard word that CM Punk will go on to feud with del Rio after this match, which likely implies that either Cena or del Rio will win the belt. With WWE, one always has to err on the side of Cena, especially in a year where he's had some high profile losses.
Pick: John Cena
Mark Henry (champ) vs. Randy Orton in a Hell in a Cell Match
This match seems like a good candidate to open the show. They've put over Mark Henry strong so far, and this match is a good way to continue that push. Orton is already the top guy on Smackdown and shouldn't get hurt too much by losing this match, especially if it's not a clean finish. That why the pick is Mark Henry to win, but not clean.
Pick: Mark Henry
Kelly Kelly (champ) vs. Beth Phoenix
Supposedly, Beth Phoenix was initially booked to win at Night of Champions, but WWE held back because they felt that Kelly Kelly was getting over as champ. This would be a good opportunity to put the belt on Beth Phoenix, likely with some help from Natalya, and let Kelly Kelly chase the heels for the title.
Pick: Beth Phoenix
Sin Cara vs. Sin Cara
This feud is so new and has so little history that it's difficult to see where they'll go with it. The feud will surely continue after Hell in a Cell, and since the match is to determine who will be using the name "Sin Cara", it seems likely that the original Sin Cara will win, and the new one will take on a different name.
Pick: Original Sin Cara
Sheamus vs. Christian
A logical case can be made for either to win the match. Sheamus is getting pushed as a top face and could soon contend with Mark Henry for the title on Smackdown. On the other hand, Christian has been booked weak and could use a win so that he doesn't lose even more legitimacy. We'll err on the side of Sheamus.
Pick: Sheamus
These are our picks. Enjoy the show!
