Monday Night RAW produced an impressive show this week as we are less than two weeks away from the biggest wrestling event of the year, WrestleMania. Following some great episodes in the last few weeks, expectations were sky-high this week.
It was a good episode of the flagship show, if not a blockbuster episode. Some bouts were commendable, while some matches disappointed the fans.
Three new matches were confirmed for the Showcase of Immortals this week. Roman Reigns answered the challenge of Drew McIntyre this week, after skipping RAW last week. The Boss N Hug Connection will put the Women's Tag Team titles on the line against three other teams.
Finn Balor earned the right to face Bobby Lashley at the MetLife Stadium when he defeated Lashley and Jinder Mahal in a handicap match.
Ronda Rousey, Charlotte Flair, and Becky Lynch participated in the Beat The Clock Challenge which was won by The Man.
Surprisingly, Lynch, Rousey, and Charlotte will face the Riott Squad in a tag team match next week. Besides, Triple H provided a remarkable segment as he announced that he will put his career on the line against Batista.
Here we discuss three things WWE quietly told us on RAW this week.
#3 Possible new Women's Tag Team Champions in New Jersey
There is no denying that the Women's Tag Team Championship storyline has been in serious jeopardy in the last few weeks. Since Sasha Banks and Bayley were ready to put the twin belts on the line against any team from any brand, it was ambiguous who could face them at the Grandest Stage of Them All.
However, the match was made official this week as the Boss N Hug Connection will defend the titles against the team of Nia Jax and Tamina, Beth Pheonix and Natalya, and the IIconics.
It is always difficult to fight against multiple opponents, and the Boss N Hug Connection might face the issue at Metlife Stadium. Nia Jax and Tamina are a force to reckon as a team, while Beth Pheonix will be eager to make a statement after coming out of retirement.
The IIconics pinned the champions on SmackDown Live, and they can't be ruled out. Hence, we might see new holders of the twin belts on April 7.
#2 Dean Ambrose might not get a match at WrestleMania 35
It is a shame that Dean Ambrose, who is one of the top-tier superstars of the red brand, might not get a match at The Grandest Stage of Them All. Since he will be leaving after WrestleMania, it might not come as a surprise to many fans, but he still deserves a proper farewell.
Ambrose faced top-notch superstars at WrestleMania in the past. The Lunatic Fringe fought Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 32, while he defended the Intercontinental Title at WrestleMania 33. Ambrose missed WrestleMania last year, as he was sidelined with an injury.
Moreover, Ambrose has completely lost his momentum after a stream of losses in recent months. As a matter of fact, Ambrose lost to McIntyre in the Last Man Standing match this week, and the latter dominated the bout. Earlier, the former WWE Champion lost to Elias and EC3, which derailed his momentum.
#1 We might not see John Cena or Undertaker this year
With just one RAW episode left before the Showcase of Immortals, the appearance of John Cena or The Undertaker seems diminutive. There is no denying that it could be a huge blow for Vince McMahon's billion dollar company if the two superstars fail to appear in New Jersey next month. Many fans expected an appearance of either of the two superstars on RAW this week, but it did not happen.
Undertaker has been an integral of WrestleMania for years. Currently, the Phenom's WrestleMania record is 24-2. Undertaker could miss a WrestleMania after nineteen years if he does not show up at the MetLife Stadium next month.
John Cena returned to the company in January, but he suffered an unfortunate injury. Many people speculated that the sixteen-time WWE Champion could face Drew McIntyre, as he confronted Cena after his return.
However, the Scottish Psychopath will tussle with the current poster boy of WWE, Roman Reigns, instead. It will be interesting to see if the Leader of Cenation makes a shocking return next week.
