Last week, WWE couldn't keep the momentum going and produced a very underwhelming episode of Monday Night Raw. While it wasn't a great episode, it did produce some interesting segments heading into WrestleMania 35.
The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar made an appearance to promote his match with Seth Rollins and Kurt Angle named Baron Corbin as his opponent for the Grandest Stage of Them All. In another segment, Drew McIntyre demanded a match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania as he put down another member of the Shield in Seth Rollins.
Will Roman Reigns answer McIntyre's challenge? And what will the WWE have in store for Kurt Angle in this upcoming episode? Let's take a look at 3 biggest things WWE could be planning for Monday Night Raw this week.
#3 Roman Reigns spears Drew McIntyre and accepts his proposal
Last month, the Big Dog, Roman Reigns, made his historic return to the WWE after battling Leukaemia. His wish to reunite The Shield was realized when the trio joined forces against Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin, and Bobby Lashley.
The Shield teamed up for the last time ever and defeated the heel team. They finished the task by destroying Baron Corbin with the triple powerbomb and pinning him.
It should be noted that while Corbin was the one getting pinned, it was the Scottish Psychopath who ridiculed Reigns' infamous warcry and got powerbombed through the announcer's table for his troubles.
A match between Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre was teased at that very moment but Drew made it a reality the next night on Raw as he viciously attacked Reigns while also silencing Dean Ambrose in the process.
Last week, McIntyre also took down Seth Rollins, thanks to a distraction from Brock Lesnar and now has set his sights on Roman Reigns.
Since Reigns has just come from battling a deadly Leukaemia, I don't think to get physical before the imminent match would be a good idea. Reigns spearing McIntyre and then accepting the match is all it needs to ignite the feud.
#2 John Cena finally returns and asks Kurt Angle for a match at WrestleMania
Two weeks ago, the Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle announced that he would end his prominent career this year at WrestleMania 35. His two decades career consisted of various Championship reigns, and he is no doubt one of the greatest wrestlers to ever step foot inside the squared circle.
The Olympic hero will wrestle the final match of his career at the Grandest Stage of Them All and the people who followed his career closely would most definitely appreciate the decision to hang up his boots with a noteworthy performance.
Last week on Monday Night Raw, as all signs were pointing towards John Cena, Angle announced that he would face the man he claims "has made his life a living hell" over the last year and allotted Baron Corbin as his WrestleMania dance partner, and that news led to the WWE Universe going berserk.
Even John Cena himself took to Instagram and posted a photo of a fan holding a "Baron Corbin Is A Dumpster Fire" sign. Hopefully, it all turns out to be a swerve, and Cena is revealed as the original opponent for Angle.
Since Cena has so much history with Angle as he made his debut against the Olympic hero, it makes sense for him to retire Kurt Angle at the Grandest Stage of Them All. Let's tune in to Monday Night Raw to find that out.
#1 Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar brawl to close the show
The 2019 Royal Rumble winner Seth Rollins will take on Brock Lesnar for the Universal title at the 35th anniversary of WrestleMania. Last time Lesnar and Rollins got physical was at the episode of Monday Night Raw that followed the Rumble PPV. Lesnar put Rollins down with 6 devastating F5's, and since then these two barely got in the ring together.
This past week, Brock Lesnar showed up to promote his match with the Kingslayer and got greeted by an infuriated Rollins who took down Drew McIntyre with a dozen chair shots as the Beast looked on.
Rollins rushed to the ring to grant the same treatment to the Beast Incarnate, but Lesnar backed down to safety. Lesnar returned the favor later that night by providing a distraction as Rollins was fighting Drew McIntyre.
The lack of both guys getting in the ring together has hurt the build-up of the match, and the WWE needs to do something to keep the fans talking, and this upcoming episode is as good as any.
A brawl between the two that clears the entire locker room would be a step in the right direction. Let's see what WWE has in store for us.
