Can you believe that we are just a few days away from the biggest wrestling event in the industry, as it hardly feels like this road to Wrestlemania was an extensive drawn-out route that took viewers to the highest of highs and vice versa?

While WWE didn't do their best with the build of many of the narratives on the Wrestlemania match card, the excitement of Wrestlemania can't be dampened, as the history, spectacle and grandeur of the event gives it a special place in the wrestling community, even if this year's event is looking quite underwhelming, to be honest.

So here we are on the last stop in Wrestlemania match building, as we look forward to the last Raw before the shows of shows, and from judging the announcement match card for the show, we could be in for a thrilling ride.

As WWE seemed to have learned from their previous mistakes of having a weak go home show before their biggest pay-per-view, and while this Raw seems exciting it does seem fairly predictable, so let's go through what could go down on the show.


#1 Interference

This week on Monday Night Raw we will see Kurt Angle wrestle his last ever match on the flagship show, and his opponent will be none other than the man he faced at Wrestlemania 22, Rey Mysterio.

In 2006, both these men were in their prime, as a match between the two greats was always going to be a spectacular showcase and all these years later not much has changed, but one thing that has changed, and that is Angle's ability to perform at his peak inside the squared circle.

Which is why WWE might make this match short and sweet, as the outcome seems somewhat predictable, as you can expect Samoa Joe and Barin Corbin to get involved in this match. These are two men that have issues with Angle and Mysterio, so it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine these two heels ruining Angle's last Raw match.

#2 Heel City

The Raw Women's Tag Team Champions Sasha Banks and Bayley will team with their Wrestlemania opponents The Divas of Doom to take on the other Wrestlemania opponents The Iconics and the team of Nia Jax and Tamina.

This is a match set up to hype up the Tag Team Titles match at the show of shows, as we could expect tensions to rise in this bout, and when the tensions rise, expect the heels to take advantage. Many have predicted that Banks and Bayley will retain their title at Wrestlemania, so one could expect the heels to gain the upper hand going into the event.


#3 New Champs

This week on Monday Night Raw WWE have a huge title match scheduled for the show, as after weeks of beating The Revival, Alistair Black and Ricochet will receive a shot at taking the Raw Tag Team Titles from Dash and Dawson.

This is a match that seems done and dusted at this point, as Black and Ricochet have beaten The Revival countless times over the last few weeks, and while it is hard to say how WWE's booking of The Revival will be on a weekly basis, it is just difficult to bet against the NXT exports.

So we could we see new champions being crowned on Raw this week? Well, after analyzing all the factors in this situation, we just might.

#4 McIntyre Stands Tall

The rivalry of Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns has been red-hot over the last few weeks, as WWE has taken two of the biggest superstars on the roster right now and put them in in a one on one match at Wrestlemania 35.

On the go home show of Raw, we will definitely see Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre meet in one last showdown before the showcase of the immortals, and we could expect the confrontation to be a violent one, which will possibly see McIntyre come out on top.

Many critics have speculated that Reigns could come out on top at the show as the chances of him losing on his debut are quite slim, so expect McIntyre heading into Wrestlemania with all the momentum on his side.


#5 Rollins and Lesnar Brawl

The Universal Title feud between Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins has been a very disappointing narrative, as WWE has put little to no effort in making this storyline more than your standard Brock Lesnar title feud, and that has negatively affected fans perception of this match heading into this event.

On the last episode of Raw before Wrestlemania, we will see Seth Rollins and Brock Lesnar confront each other one last time, and you could even bet on WWE booking a locker room brawl for this narrative heading into Wrestlemania. A Brock Lesnar feud will not be complete without this trademark booking strategy, but let's hope that WWE proves us wrong, and instead books a meaningful segment that hypes up this feud.
