Tonight’s WWE Raw is starting and that means it’s time for Monday Night Raw. It’s 3 weeks until WrestleMania, and we’re live from Providence, Rhode Island’s Amica Mutual Pavilion. The former Dunkin Donuts Center and a building packed with a long history of weekly wrestling TV shows. The building also happens to be the site of King Of The Ring 1997, where Triple H defeated Mankind to win the title and set in motion one of the best feuds of the Attitude Era. As this would lead to a series of matches between the two that would later be repeated in late 1999/2000, culminating Mick Foley’s full-time wrestling career, let’s take a look at what is coming from WWE Raw tonight.
The full WWE Raw card for tonight
It was a mess of a match
We continue the road to Chelsea Green’s title defence against Asuka as she takes on the Raw Women’s Champion. After weeks of complaining to Adam Pearce, Chelsea Green finally gets some action. Who knows, maybe Chelsea Green will find her way to Providence, Rhode Island…… Or Providence, Utah… Or Providence, Texas? WrestleMania is still months away.
To Titan or Not To Titan?
A joke about Attack On Titan is in this preview. No rumblings here, we hope. As Brock Lesnar and Omos are planned to face off. We have to expect Omos to sell us on the idea that he’s a real threat to The Beast Incarnate given how Brock Lesnar’s last interaction went with MVP.
The Judgment Day Judgement
We are all waiting for the announcement of Finn Balor’s inevitable WrestleMania match. As we await it, Edge calls out Finn Balor, expecting an answer. It has been rumored for a while that these two are going to meet in Hell In A Cell and that it was originally intended for the Royal Rumble. These two already had an ‘I Quit’ match, so Hell In A Cell would be the only way to raise the stakes.
Cody is putting together a team, isn’t he?
It’s rare we get subtlety in WWE, but as Sami Zayn’s war with The Bloodline continues and Cody Rhodes seems to not be too deep into chasing after the mostly After their Smackdown interaction a few weeks back, we instead see the Royal Rumble winner stepping in to help Sami Zayn. seen backstage talking to Kevin Owens. It seems that while Sami Zayn struggles to try get through to The Usos and Kevin Owens tries to simply go to war by himself however he can, Cody instead tries to take charge.
In addition to Elias and Bronson Reed, Johnny Gargano and Dexter Lumis are scheduled to wrestle tonight. Gargano defeated Finn Balor last week with Edge’s help. It seems that this will lead to some matches to fill the weeks, and we now have Otis and Baron Corbin both trying to join the Maximum Male Models. WWE Raw tonight also features Seth Rollins vs Logan Paul, which is official for WrestleMania.
