Preview: Rumble Aftershocks January 28, 2008

The night after the Royal Rumble, Raw rolls into Philadelphia. But the City of Brotherly Love isn’t likely to soothe longstanding rivalries.

Who will be the WWE Champion? This Sunday at the Rumble, Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy will try to take the gold from WWE Champion Randy Orton in a war that has become increasingly personal. Will Hardy realize his dream or will Orton avoid a Twist of Fate?

Meanwhile, things continue to get personal between Chris Jericho and the Lonestar Loudmouth, JBL. Two weeks ago, JBL bad-mouthed Jericho as his small children watched from home. Then, last Monday, Y2J made it clear to the Texas businessman that he will not relent until JBL gets punished for his disrespect. Will these two settle their bitter rivalry at the Rumble, or will it just be chapter one in a series of battles?

And what about the Royal Rumble Match itself? Will a Raw Superstar – such as Triple H, Umaga, or someone else – emerge victorious and earn the right to face a World Champion at WrestleMania XXIV?

The only way to find out is to tune in to Raw – in high-definition – live at 9/8 CT on USA Network.
