What’s in store?We’re just days away from the final Pay Per View before WrestleMania, WWE Fastlane. Going into the event, all eyes are on three men – Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose. The three superstars will compete for a chance to headline WrestleMania, and wrestle “The Game” for the coveted WWE World Heavyweight championship.But before we get there, we have the go-home RAW, which will roll out of the Honda Center in Anaheim. Last week on RAW, Dean Ambrose toyed with fate, and called out the Beast Incarnate. Ambrose however clearly had a plan, and after being rag-dolled around the ring, Ambrose took the former champion down with a low blow.Also, Brie Bella has emerged as a wild card, just when it looked like Charlotte, Sasha and Becky would take over the division. So what can we expect from this week’s edition of Monday Night RAW? We give you the five point preview of this week’s show.
#5 Save the tables, Dudleys?!
Last week on RAW, The Dudley Boyz shocked the entire world by turning on The Usos. The Dudleys made their intentions clear, and on SmackDown, the legendary tag team announced that they were tired of playing second fiddle. Bubba Ray and D – Von made it obvious that they were gunning to become the new WWE tag team champions.
In doing so, the duo also announced that they will not use their patented tables anymore. While this was intended to infuriate the WWE Universe, what do the half brothers have in store this week?
One can expect The Usos to confront the Dudleys for their sneak attack last week, but the Dudleys have been in this business far longer, and would have a trick or two up their sleeve.
Also, the opponents for The New Day at WWE Fastlane are yet to be announced, and we may very well find out who will challenge the WWE tag team champions at Fastlane on this week’s show.
#4 Clash of Styles Finding the better man
Ever since AJ Styles defeated Chris Jericho, the former WWE World Heavyweight champion has been looking for retribution. Jericho found out first hand that the hype surrounding Styles was real, and has since demanded a rematch. Last week on SmackDown, Jericho finally got his wish, as he faced AJ Styles in the main event.
Jericho succeeded in handing Styles his first loss in WWE, and with both the superstars winning one match each, we may get to see the rubber match on this week’s edition of Monday Night RAW.
Also, The Miz has been lurking in the corner, and would want to include himself in the rivalry to prove a point. Will the ‘A lister’ be successful in getting the attention of Styles and Jericho? We’ll have to wait and find out.
#3 Bray Wyatt, the God amongst men
The Wyatt Family has been the most dominant faction in recent memory, and the four superstars have wreaked havoc in the company. The Wyatts have struck fear in the hearts of the WWE superstars, and after attacking the likes of Brock Lesnar and Ryback, they have made their intentions clear. The Wyatts want to take over WWE, and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
Last week on RAW, Bray Wyatt talked about taking down the remaining Titans in the company. Who was Bray referring to? With rumors swirling around about Braun Strowman facing The Undertaker at this year’s WrestleMania, will the Deadman finally make his return this week on RAW to rid the WWE Universe of the Wyatts?
Also, who will Bray target next? Will Brock Lesnar be the next superstar to be taken out by the Wyatt Family? We may get all the answers on this week’s show.
#2 Brie looks to give Bryan the perfect parting gift
Last week was an emotional one for the WWE Universe, as the former WWE World Heavyweight champion, and the biggest underdog in company’s history bid farewell to the business he loved most. Daniel Bryan, after nearly two decades of sacrifice and living his dream, decided to call it a career due to past injuries and concussions.
Brie Bella now has to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders. With her husband retiring and her sister, former Divas champion Nikki Bella being sidelined due to an injury, Brie has the chance to win the Divas title and dedicate her victory to her husband and sister.
Can Brie finally overcome the odds and win the Divas title? This week will give us a better idea where Brie is mentally, as Charlotte looks to put yet another Diva away come Fastlane.
#1 The Dean Ambrose show
On last week’s episode, Dean Ambrose called out Brock Lesnar, and stood up to the behemoth. While Lesnar once again displayed his incredible strength, rag dolling Ambrose around the ring, the Lunatic Fringe got the last laugh when he low-blowed Lesnar. Lesnar would love to get his hands on Ambrose before WWE Fastlane, and he may very well do that on this week’s episode.
Also, the bond between Roman and Dean Ambrose will be tested as we head towards WrestleMania. While Roman and Lesnar have headlined WrestleMania before, Dean is still waiting for his chance. Will Dean Ambrose choose glory over his relationship with Roman Reigns?
It is a known fact that the Superstars dream about headlining WrestleMania and winning the WWE World Heavyweight championship, and we will find out if Dean Ambrose can resist the temptation of going against Roman to realize his dream.
