So tonight's guest hosts are the guys from Psych. I'm sure they're way over with the WWE Universe. Only one problem.
Psych's James Roday will not be appearing on RAW tonight.
On Saturday he had to undergo an appendectomy, and will not be able to work tonight's show. His co-host Dule Hill will still appear and host the show solo.
I don't know which one is James, but apparently only Dule will be on Raw tonight. Looks like a major blow. It will likely crush the ratings tonight.
In other shocking news, John Cena, The Big Show, Shawn Michaels, and believe it or not... HHH entered their names in The Royal Rumble. This was apparently the most earth shattering news of Michael Cole's life. 28 of the 30 spots have now been announced:

Carlito
Evan Bourne

Kofi Kingston
Mark Henry
MVP
Santino Marella
Shawn Michaels
Ted Dibiase

Chris Jericho
CM Punk
Dolph Zigler
Drew McNtyre
Finlay
John Morrison
Kane
Matt Hardy
R-Truth
ECW
Shelton Benjamin
Vladimir Kozlov

Zack Ryder
That leaves two spots. Edge seems to be one of the stronger rumors, especially after recent reports that he is heeling ahead of schedule. RVD is also another name that is always thrown around. Or it could always be someone like Doink the Clown or Brooklyn Brawler.
Sheamus defends his WWE Championship at The Rumble against Randy Orton. I'm not sure fans are buying into the match all that much which could be expected since both are heels. However, I think the bigger problem is Sheamus. He needs to have a breakthrough before fans take him seriously. Since right now the plan is for Sheamus vs HHH at WrestleMania, Sheamus needs to go over very strongly at The Royal Rumble. It can't be a fluky finish, or fans will never him as a serious champion.
We can expect something else with the Divas Championship tournament as well.
