Over the last few weeks we have heard Raven complain about how he is in pain. He says the only way his pain can be healed is by Samoa Joe, and nobody really understands what Raven is talking about. It's almost gone unmentioned because nobody has been able to open up to Scott and find out what he needs.

Some in the USWA think that he wants another fight against Jun Akiyama. If you remember, it was back at A Night to Remember 2001 when Raven defeated the most popular Heavyweight Champion in company history, and started his own legacy. It was at Christmas Chaos when all hell broke loose in the 2/3 falls rematch for the title and Raven finally put an end to the momentum that Jun had going for him as champion.

When Samoa Joe and Jun left the company to train in Japan it was always assumed Akiyama would be coming back ,but he didn't. He stayed in Japan while Samoa Joe came back. Raven has recently been attacking Joe any chance he gets and has given him an ultimatium. It sounds like Raven wants Joe to bring Akiyama back to the USWA to face him again. Joe hasn't had sucess and it seems like Ravens patience is wearing thin. Only time will tell what will happen in this feud.
