#5 Seeds planted for a triple threat match at WrestleMania

A Triple threat match seems to be on the cards

Is there anything more exciting than the Raw Women's Championship right now? The answer is no! WWE have shaped up this intriguing storyline in a tremendous manner and it seems the plan was designed way before.

Becky Lynch attacked Rousey on Raw before their Survivor Series bout, a moment which probably made Becky's connection with the WWE Universe stronger.

The Man was injured in that brutal attack at the hands of Nia Jax which resulted in the Queen, Charlotte Flair taking her place at Survivor Series.

Both of them put on a sensational match at Survivor series which ended in a dramatic fashion as Charlotte’s temper got the better of her as she attacked Ronda with a kendo stick.

The Baddest Woman On The Planet took her revenge with both Becky and Charlotte as she intervened at TLC,2018 to help Asuka win the Smackdown women’s championship

With Becky having won the Royal Rumble, the man was all set to face Rousey for the RAW Women’s championship but here comes the twist.

The Man was fired for 60 days following her problems with the McMahon family courtesy of which Charlotte Flair took her place.

If the recent events are put into the picture which includes Becky and Charlotte's brawl at a live event and then Becky turning up at Elimination Chamber to strike back against the Queen and punish the reigning women’s champion, Ronda Rousey as well, the stage is set for a triple threat matchup at WrestleMania 35.

Triple H did acknowledge the recent outcomes on Raw and even called Becky's actions 'cool'!

#4 It’s all about NXT Superstars on Raw

NXT stars are developing into the main roster Superstars

We all know about NXT and its rise to fame every passing day. NXT is like Triple H’s baby and The Game has been making amends in his quest to make NXT a significant show.

Some of the finest in-ring performers have come from NXT and its Triple H’s sheer dedication and hard work that has made the brand such a hit among fans worldwide.

The NXT Superstars have been handpicked to portray their skills on Raw and Smackdown and it's right to say they haven’t disappointed. From Seth Rollins to the recently debuted, Ricochet, NXT has been providing fresh talent to the main roster.

Triple H has himself took on the responsibility to select these men and women to perform on WWE prime shows and a man like the game doesn't make decisions just like that.

The recent episode saw multiple NXT superstars making their debut on Raw and the things look promising for the company.

#3 Ambrose to have some impact on the Universal title match at WrestleMania 35

Dean Ambrose is reportedly leaving the company post WrestleMania

It's been two weeks running that Ambrose has been involved in a discussion where the subject was his former best friend, Seth Rollins.

Last week the Lunatic Fringe made a surprise appearance as Paul Heyman and Seth Rollins cut a gripping promo.

It looked like Ambrose was out there to take a shot at The Architect but instead, he surprised the WWE Universe by asking Rollins to simply Slay The Beast.

While this week there no such direct show of support, it was rather indirect as Dean Ambrose stopped by when Drew Mcintyre was asking Triple H to give him Seth Rollins in a match on RAW.

The Scottish Psychopath was indulging in an expressive segment and Ambrose intervened to slap him.

The match happened next and things didn't turn out really well for the former Shield member as he was victimized by McIntyre and two Claymore Kicks were all it needed to keep down the Lunatic Fringe.

With that said, Ambrose is surely set to have some impact on the Universal Title match at WrestleMania 35.

#2 Triple H is turning Face

The Game is one of the greatest Superstars of all-time. A 14-time world champion, Triple H is the inspirational character that new upcoming superstars look up to.

What we have learned from Triple H’s Legendary career is that the cerebral assassin is surely one of the most prominent and successful heels of the company.

The Game has played out as the heel on one too many occasions and it’s his aura, his dynamic personality that makes us adore him so much.

The crowd is up on their feet whenever the game’s music hits the big screen and his connection with the WWE Universe is strong as it gets.

Triple H has been appearing on RAW and SmackDown for the past few weeks and his actions have suggested that game is portraying a face authority figure.

His segments with Seth Rollins, his announcements on Smackdown Live and most importantly his indirect appreciation and support for Becky Lynch do suggest that game is on the positive side.

#1 Seth Rollins’ next rival might have been revealed

Drew Mcintyre has it all to be the top star of the company

WWE Creative might have revealed who the Kingslayer is going to battle once his hyped matchup with Brock Lesnar is done.

WWE has been teasing the idea of introducing Drew McIntyre to the main event picture and seems like it will happen post WrestleMania 35.

The Scottish Psychopath has been on a roll ever since he returned to the company and has done a lot to be named amongst the top Superstars on Raw. This week saw Drew Mcintyre in a rather animated segment with the COO of the company, Triple H.

McIntyre demanded to be in the main event of WrestleMania and shared his feelings with the game.

Seth Rollins was his preferred choice but Dean Ambrose intervened and thus a match between Drew Mcintyre and the Lunatic Fringe was booked.

McIntyre made easy work of Ambrose and scored the pinfall after hitting two vicious Claymore kicks. If things go as per the plan then Drew and Seth might be set for the rivalry of the year.
