If you missed it tonight on RAW, there were some technical difficulties during a backstage segment with Vince McMahon and Hornswoggle in front of the RAW Roulette wheel. The segment aired without sound for several minutes before the truck cut out to promote other matches on tonight’s show. McMahon had them replay the segment once RAW returned from commercial which caused the divas entrances for their lingerie pillow fight to be rushed. Lilian was still announcing the stipulations to the match when Melina’s music hit. Melina was not able to complete her trademark entrance to the ring before Jillian Hall’s music began playing. They rushed the divas out to make up for the time they lost in replaying the McMahon/Hornswoggle segment.

Expect to see more segments teasing Maria’s assets over the next couple of months as the company will play up her body as they prepare for the release of her edition of Playboy. Tonight on RAW there was a segment between Vince McMahon and Maria where Maria revealed that her pillows were “completely natural” as the camera zoomed in on Maria to tease the size of her breasts.
The ECW main event this week will be C.M. Punk vs. Chavo Guerrero. If Guerrero wins, he gets a title shot more than likely at the Royal Rumble.
