All major WWE titles on line in Raw 3-For-All

All three World Wrestling Entertainment brand titles will be on the line this week in an extended edition of WWE Raw. The 3-For-All will feature title matches for the WWE (Raw), World (Smackdown) and ECW titles.

The WWE title match may be the most noteworthy as current WWE champion Batista's title reign will be vacated due to his real-life biceps tendon injury. Randy Orton, Triple H, John Cena and Big Show will fight in a four-way match for the belt. Not to belabor the obvious but some new blood really should have been introduced into this title scenario.

Smackdown's World title will be at stake when babyface trending heel CM Punk defends against both Jeff Hardy and Edge in a triple threat match. In Charlotte, North Carolina, Hardy will have near universal support while CM Punk might as well be in the same category as Edge.

The ECW title will also be defended as new champion Tommy Dreamer takes on former champion Christian. With Dreamer having signed a new real-life contract, the way is cleared for his first title defense. My own belief is that Dreamer's title reign will be a short one since there's just no money in it but give the man credit for connecting with a whole new fan base.

For its extended edition, WWE Raw will begin one hour earlier at 8 p.m. EDT/PDT on USA Network.
