*Next week's guest host will be legendary Apollo astronaut Buzz Aldrin

*WWE Champion John Cena will face Sheamus

*The Miz will defend the United States Championship against Bret "The Hitman" Hart in what is being advertised as Hart's final appearance on RAW

I love commericial free Raw's

I wonder how much money WWE loses for one of these episodes.

I wonder how pissy sponsers get for one of these episodes.

Last years Commercial Free Raw did a 5.0 in the ratings. If they pull numbers like that for USA Network, they probably do not lose anything. They also will promote something throught out the show, just like they do on PPV. "Raw is brought to you buy (insert product). That kind of thing.

When was the last commercial-free RAW? Was it when Donald Trump came out to announce he "bought" RAW and debuted the guest host concept?

I love commercial free as there are far too many breaks during Raw usually. I'm looking forward to Miz vs Bret, should be a good match.

That is it and the main event was HHH vs. Orton in a Last Man Standing Match. That Raw did huge ratings numbers, so hopefully this will be a yearly thing. I would love to see them do it a few times a year.
