It's a bit of a stretch calling wrestling a sport when what's really happening is rather theatrical - a bunch of bruising hulks invariably clad in Lycra-based attire throwing each other around the ring and smashing plastic chairs over each other's bloodied heads in elaborately choreographed sequences that would make the dancers of Strictly Come Dancing (or the extras of Spartan swords 'n' sandles epic 300) green with envy. But we'll grant it a sporting status - if only for the clear physical prowess of its oft-bafflingly named competitors. So, if Smackdown and Mickey Rourke's The Wrestler are your cup of tea, then head down to The O2 Arena this November as WWE Raw takes a bow on British soil. Opening the night will be a 10-man Battle Royal featuring the likes of Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase, Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, MVP and The Miz, with the winner squaring up against John Cena for the WWE Championship. This will be followed by a Unified Tag Team Championship Match which will see D-Generation X pitted against Chris Jerico & The Big Show.
