5 Predictions for WWE Raw - 28th May 2018

Seth Rollins and Jinder Mahal
Will Jinder Mahal get one step closer to a grand slam championship?

This week's special memorial day edition of Monday Night Raw will emanate from the Coliseum in Richmond, Virginia. We are drawing nearer to the Money in the Bank PPV and the red brand will hope to wrap up their side of the job on this week's episode.

We have a big Intercontinental title match as the champion Seth Rollins will defend his title against the 'Modern Day Maharaja' Jinder Mahal.

Sportskeeda is the one-stop destination for latest WWE rumors and wrestling news.

We will also find out the last superstar to qualify for the women's MITB ladder match. Stakes are getting higher, and we are excited to watch what unfolds on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw.

With that in mind, how about we look at the five predictions for the 28th May 2018 episode of Monday Night Raw?

#5 The B Team gets another win

The B Team
The B Team are on a roll!

The Miztourage transformed themselves as the "B Team" two weeks ago on Raw, and they are on the receiving end of a decent push.

They defeated Breezango two weeks in a row after renaming their group, and it appears like they will proceed with their triumphant courses in the weeks to come until the point when they meet their match in the Authors of Pain.

Their push may last just for a here and now until the point that WWE reintroduces the Authors of Pain on Raw. Until then Dallas and Axel will continue in their winning ways.

They could confront Fandango and Tyler Breeze for the third week in a row or face another Jobber group in the Ascension on this week's episode and pick up the win.

#4 Bobby Lashley gets his retribution

Bobby Lashley's Sisters
WWE creative would've been too high when they wrote this segment!

A week ago we saw one of the worst segments on Raw after Alexa Bliss' this is your life segment on Bayley.

Two weeks ago Bobby Lashley discussed how his sisters helped him in his life in an interview with Renee Young.

Sami Zayn tried to get inside Lashley's head when he brought three guys dressed up like ladies as Lashley's sisters to Raw. It was one of the worst segments on Monday Night Raw history, and it exhausted the living lights out of the fans.

We can expect that Bobby Lashley will get his retribution on this week's episode of Raw and perhaps open the door for a potential match with Sami Zayn at MITB.

#3 The Money in the Bank contenders collide in singles competition

MITB Ladder Match
Which superstars will collide this week?

Last week we saw an extraordinary match between Braun Strowman and Finn Balor. Balor took the "Monster Among Men" to the limit but wounded up on the losing side.

The two Superstars have qualified for the men's MITB ladder match, and we can expect that they will go up against their other two counterparts from Raw on this week's episode.

Bobby Roode and Kevin Owens are the other two Superstars to qualify for the MITB ladder match from Raw. We can hope to see Balor going up against Owens and Strowman going up against Roode on this week's Raw or we can see it the other way around.

#2 One member of the Riott Squad wins the Gauntlet match

The Gauntlet Match
Who will emerge victoriously?

We will witness a gauntlet match on this week's Raw to determine the final Superstar to qualify for the women's MITB ladder match.

Seven Superstars will fight it out for the opportunity to get the final spot in the women's MITB ladder match. Dana Brooke, Mickie James, Sarah Logan, Sasha Banks, Ruby Riott, Liv Morgan and Bayley will look to secure their place in the ladder match.

We can expect one member of the Riott Squad to pick up the win and compete in the MITB ladder match. The WWE officials have moved on from pushing Sasha Banks and Bayley, and it was clear when they worked the kick-off show of WrestleMania 34.

Mickie James and Dana Brooke are off the equation, and that leaves us with the three members of the Riott Squad. One of the three Superstars could get the final spot in the women's MITB ladder match.

The only question on our minds is will the match live up to the outstanding gauntlet match the men put on before the Elimination Chamber PPV earlier this year? We don't have to wait too long to find that out.

#1 Rollins vs Mahal ends in a DQ

Jinder Mahal
Mahal gave Rollins a taste of his own medicine!

Last week Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns took a post-match beatdown at the hands of Jinder Mahal. Rollins and Reigns defeated Mahal and Kevin Owens in a tag team match, but their festivals were brief as they had to endure a beatdown from the 'Modern Day Maharaja'.

Jinder Mahal will look to become the new Intercontinental Champion when he faces Seth Rollins for the title on this week's episode of Raw.

Mahal will take on Roman Reigns at Money In the Bank, and it is unlikely that he will take a loss before his match against The Big Dog.

Rollins is doing an excellent job as the Intercontinental Champion and might not drop the title so soon.

So it is fitting to have their match end in a DQ with Roman Reigns meddling in the match and cost Jinder Mahal the championship.
