Rather than a separate thread for Raw and Smackdown, here is one for all shows. NXT, Main Event, Raw, Smackdown, etc...

So next Raw, what match is it going to be? Ryback v Heyman or will CM Punk compete? I personally think it will be Heyman v Ryback to protect CM Punk for the Rumble

Definitely going to be Punk vs Ryback. Something strong to open the new year. Plus The Rock is going to be there.
I could see Punk getting help from The Shield once again and defeating Ryback in the TLC match. Rock comes down and they have their face off until The Shield jumps Rock. Punk reveals that he lied and has been in cahoots with them the entire time, along with Maddox.

Ryback vs Heyman would have been painful to watch, after seeing the botched Shellshocked video awhile back. I'm excited for the next RAW. Not only because of the TLC match, but because it will be live again and have less stupid shit happening (Santa being ran over/Mae Young giving birth to Hornswoggle.) I read on a dirtsheet that Vince is in the "every show counts" mentality, and that every show from now to the end of January will be stacked. Also when the Jan. 7 show is over, "people will be talking."
Some people have said they have lost interest in RAW since the 3 hour change, but personally, I've tuned in every week and watched almost the whole show no problem. Minus the Divas matches and anything involving Great Khali.

Now that Monday Night Football is over, I'll be back to watching Raw live. Until I get sick of the ad breaks and start recording it and watching it the next day again.
I thought Punk would've been off the crutches by now because I had similar surgery once and was off them within a week. Maybe his injury was a bit worse, or he's exaggerating it for TV purposes to draw it out a bit longer.

I'm really interested to see how the tlc match will play out

It's like the same price as Netflix. But its worth it if you like watching a lot of TV shows. RAW/SD!/Main Event/Superstars are also on there. RAW is only 90 minutes though, because they cut a lot of it out.

Vince McMahon is reportedly gearing up for WrestleMania season and the plans are that every RAW this month will be a stacked show. This is partly due to the build to WrestleMania and partly a reaction to sagging ratings.
The January 7th RAW, which will be competing with the BCS Championship game featuring Notre Dame vs. Alaama, will feature the return of The Rock as well as WWE Champion CM Punk defending against Ryback in a Tables, Ladders & Chairs match. There are also plans to shoot a big angle to close the show, one that will "have everyone buzzing."
The January 14th edition of RAW will be the 20th anniversary of the show. The plan is to use legends to add star power to the show. With the show taking place in Houston, Texas, it is said to be a good possibility that The Undertaker, Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels all could appear. None of those name are confirmed just yet, though. There are also plans to announce the first member of the 2013 Hall of Fame class that night.
