World Wrestling Entertainment will once again invade Honolulu for a show at 5 p.m. Saturday at Blaisdell Arena.

The card will be packed with superstars from the company's flagship TV show, "Raw," which recently moved back to the USA network after five years on Spike TV.

Headlining the event will be WWE champion John Cena defending his title against Kurt Angle in a return match from September's pay-per-view event "Unforgiven," when Cena got himself disqualified.

"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair defends his first Intercontinental Championship against the man he took it from, Carlito Caribbean Cool.

Also, Edge, aka "Mr. Money-in-the-Bank," will have his girlfriend Lita in tow as he faces The Big Show, possibly the world's biggest athlete at 7 feet tall and 500 pounds.

Also scheduled is a divas' tag-team match pitting Trish Stratus and Ashley against Torrie Wilson and Victoria. Others appearing include Eugene, "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters and Kane.

Tickets cost $25 to $75. The show originally was scheduled for July 2; those tickets will be honored for Saturday's show. (877) 750-4400, ticketmaster.com.
