"I'd like to formally introduce myself.."

It's a new year for the WWE. In fact, it's New Year's Day! It's January 1st, 2007, and the big match going into this one is the first time encounter between John Cena, and "A-List Celebrity" Kevin Federline. Federline cost Cena a match at the Cyber Sunday PPV a couple months back, and then challenged him to this match here on the first RAW of the year. Yes, Kevin Federline made the challenge to the current WWE Champion, and he accepted.

Kevin Federline isn't the only person John Cena has to worry about, though. We're less than a week away from WWE New Year's Revolution, where Cena will be defending his WWE Championship against Umaga. Not only will we see these two also go at it on this show, but Jonathan Coachman, the man in charge of RAW, puts himself, Umaga, Armando Estrada, & Johnny Nitro in a 4-on-1 handicap match against Cena as well!

Speaking of New Year's Revolution, Rated RKO & D-Generation X are set to go at it after weeks of Edge & Randy Orton attacking Shawn Michaels & Triple H, as well as one of their close friends & mentors, Ric Flair. DX, of course, address this in the only way they know how.

Ric Flair will also be wrestling on this show, as he teams with Carlito to take on Kenny Dykstra, who just beat Ric Flair last week, and Chris Masters, who will face Carlito at the PPV. Also on this show, Jeff Hardy faces Rob Conway in a match where Conway puts his career on the line, Melina takes on Maria, and Cryme Tyme (Shad & JTG) team with The Highlanders (Robbie & Rory McAllister) to face Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, & The World's Greatest Tag Team (Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas).

It doesn't get more 2007 than this.
