5 things that could happen on RAW next week

#2 Matt Hardy enters himself in the Royal Rumble

matt hardy and bray wyatt — Matt Hardy appears on the big screen to taunt Bray Wyatt

This is a rather tame prediction, but a solid one. Bray will also be announced as entered in one way or another. Chances are that Hardy will show up on the screen only and not in the ring or in a match, and WWE may go a little bit further with the silliness and not the way they did it in TNA.

It feels like WWE is being too hands-on with the production of the Woken Hardy vignettes, and I get the sinking feeling that they’re going to end up bungling the whole thing. And man, do I ever hate the stupid broken glass thing they do at the end of his promos. It’s an extremely low-rent version of Wyatt’s full-screen intro/outro.

It looks like some kid got a hold of Avid software for the first time after playing with Windows Movie Maker for a month and closed his eyes, and this came out. It’s just more laziness.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
