The Katz Files – Arnie Katz
My Weekly RAW Notebook!
The Kingfish Arnie Katz presents his analysis and insights inspired by the 1/12 episode of RAW
RAW from Sioux City, IA, began with a close-up of John Bradshaw Leyfield’s big white limousine.
Inside the limo’s cabin, John Bradshaw Leyfield continued to work on his beleaguered, reluctant employee Shawn Michaels. He told HBK that his match against Cena on this RAW would be his WrestleMania.
The Kingfish comments: The tension between JBL and HBK has grown to frightening proportions. Shawn has done a brilliant job of overtly complying with Leyfield’s wishes while his facials and gestures tell a radically different story.
Presumably, the Big Turn is coming. WWE may well do it at Royal Rumble to give JVL a reason for losing to John Cena. That might result in a Michaels-JBL grudge match at WrestleMania.. One thing that could upset that is the possibility that Stone Cold Steve Austin will work his final match at WM 25. He is likely to want to have the match against Shawn Michaels and, if that’s what it takes to set up the match, WWE would likely go along with it.
