Verizon Hosts WWE RAW Supershow

Big Show and Sheamus (r) face off tonight

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) returns to the nation's capital tonight, with a special RAW Supershow at Verizon Center. Tonight's festivities get underway at 7:00 PM and feature a main event, tag team slobber-knocker (that's for you, J.R.) pitting John Cena and Sheamus against World Heavyweight Champion Big Show and Dolph Ziggler.

Nothing quite matches the experience of catching a WWE event live, yet alone at Verizon Center. Tickets are selling fast, but are still available at the Verizon box office or online at ticketmaster.com. Tickets for WWE Raw Supershow are $20, $30, $45, $65 and $95 (not including additional fees.)

WWE star Randy Orton will likely make his return to the "squared circle" tonight: Orton suffered a shoulder injury at the Tribute to the Troops back on December 9th. Also slated for return is Mexican high-flyer Sin Cara, who should be fully recovered from an earlier (minor) knee surgery. WWE champion CM Punk is also scheduled to appear; and I wouldn't be surprised to see Vinny Mac (CEO Vince McMahon) show up as well.

Tonight's taping will be broadcast on WWE RAW on USA Network, this Monday night at 9:00 PM.
