WWE returns to Canada this weekend for the first time since the Benoit Tragedy. Both crews will spend the weekend and tape television in the country, although none of the shows are in the Alberta area, which had a string of events cancelled in the weeks following the double murder-suicide. In fact, many of these shows are being held in towns that WWE hasn't visited in two years or more. This is also the return to a regular schedule for the performers after the long overseas tour and least week's PPV weekend.
Raw kicks off their run tonight, May 2nd at the Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec with the following announced lineup:
- WWE Champion Triple H vs. Randy Orton.
- Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho vs. Umaga.
- Women's Champion Mickie James vs. Beth Phoenix.
- World Tag Team Champions Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes vs. Trevor Murdoch & Lance Cade vs. Cryme Tyme.
- Super Crazy, Santino Marella, Brian Kendrick, Val Venis, Maria, Carlito, Snitsky, Paul Burchill and DH Smith are also listed as appearing.
The Raw crew then runs Saturday, May 3rd at the Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario with the following announced lineup:
- WWE Champion Triple H vs. Randy Orton vs. Umaga.
- Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho vs. Snitsky.
- Maria & Candice Michelle vs. Katie Lea & Beth Phoenix (except this to be changed, since Candice is still out injured).
- Val Venis, Santino Marella, Cody Rhodes, William Regal, Paul London, Brian Kendrick, Trevor Murdoch and Lance Cade are also listed as appearing.
Raw then has a 5pm show on Sunday, May 4th at the Barrie Molson Centre in Barrie, Ontario. WWE.com has Chris Jericho, Triple H, JBL, Randy Orton, Umaga and Maria appearing. Of course, WWE.com also has John Cena listed for some of the other house shows this weekend, so take that list (and honestly, all WWE lineups) with a grain of salt. Remember "card is subject to change".
