The WWE Universe will be in a celebratory mood tonight with Monday Night Raw holding their last live event of the year Monday night to ring in 2014.
Fandango and Summer Rae had a pleasant holiday season last week, after defeating Dolph Ziggler to earn a shot at Big E Langston's Intercontinental Championship on Monday Night Raw. The dance duo has worked well as a team of late with Summer Rae taking a page out of Missy Hyatt's choreography routine and fearlessly stepping into her partner's matches when he needs a hand. Can Summer Rae and Fandango put the moves on the IC champion to win his first title in WWE or will the powerhouse titleholder stand tall once again and retain his championship?
Fans received a Christmas present with the announcement of the return of Batista last week, who will make his Monday Night Raw debut on the January 20th edition of the show, right before the Royal Rumble. How will the locker room react to the return of "The Animal"? And how will his return impact his former Evolution stablemates - WWE COO Triple H and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton - as they prepare for the road to Wrestlemania?
Meanwhile, The Authority - Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and Director of Operations Kane - have a tight grip on their control over the company to end 2013. With the help of The Shield, The Authority has not only supplanted John Cena as the "face of the company" with Randy Orton, helping "The Apex Predator" make history by unifying the WWE Title and the World Heavyweight Title, but have managed to keep "The Viper" on a leash whenever he starts questioning their loyalty. How will The Authority cap off what has been a successful year for the power trio?
Cena's 2013 has had its high and lows, beating the Rock at Wrestlemania 29, missing a chunk of time in the ring due to major elbow surgery, coming back and defeat Alberto Del Rio to win the World Heavyweight Championship only to lose the title to Orton in their unification match at WWE TLC 2013. Cena wants his rematch, but has had to fend off The Shield to get the champion. Will Cena finally get his much-deserved rematch or will The Authority unleash their "Hounds of Justice" on the former champion?
