The final episode of Raw before the Elimination Chamber PPV is all set to emanate from the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, AZ.
The eyes of the WWE universe will be fixed on the show as we head into the elimination chamber PPV this Sunday. Both the men and women will make history in the event as we will see for the first time in history 7 men will participate in the Elimination Chamber match, and the first ever women's elimination chamber match.
It will be interesting to see how WWE is going to book the final episode of Raw before going into Elimination Chamber.
With that said, let us look into the five things we can expect from this week's episode of Raw.
_________________________________________________________________________
#5 What / Who will Braun Strowman break next?
We've seen Braun Strowman tip over cars and trucks and pull down heavy sets on his opponents, but never have we ever saw Strowman's entertaining side when he played a gigantic bass and sang it out for the crowd (If you don't count his days as a rosebud).
Braun Strowman is one of the favorites going into the elimination chamber match and unfortunately, he will not be the one to walk out of the chamber as the winner, we all know who that is don't we?
But that doesn't rule out the possibility of Strowman doing what he does best, and that destroys things and people.
We can expect Strowman to walk out of the main event Gauntlet match and go into Elimination Chamber as a dominant force.
#4 The opponents for the Raw Tag Team Championships
The status of the Raw Tag Team Championships for the elimination chamber PPV is still up in the air and the current champions The Bar are yet to know their opponents for Sunday.
We can expect the situation to be cleared on this week's Raw and General Manager Kurt Angle may reveal which team will challenge the Bar for the Tag Team Championships at Elimination Chamber.
The best choice would be to have the Revival face The Bar for the tag titles this Sunday as this will certainly be one of the best matches in the event.
#3 Planting the seeds for a Finn Balor and Miz feud
The Miz has been taking shots at Finn Balor on social media and it seems like the seeds for a potential feud between the superstars is being planted.
The Miz fired some shots at Finn Balor on the latter's lack of success ever since he returned from injury. We can expect some sort of retaliation from Finn Balor during their main event gauntlet match in this week's Raw.
Personally, I feel this feud has all it takes to make it to WrestleMania and it would be an absolute classic bout between the two for the Intercontinental Championship.
#2 Clearing the air on the Women's division and Ronda Rousey situation
WWE's women's division will be making history when they compete inside the Elimination Chamber for the very first time. Alexa Bliss will put her Raw Women's Championship on the line against five other superstars inside the devilish structure.
The winner of the women's royal rumble match, Asuka on the other hand, will be going one-on-one against Nia Jax and if the latter manages to win the match, she will get added to the Raw women's championship match at WrestleMania 34.
Speaking of WrestleMania 34 women's title match, the next name which comes to our minds will be WWE's newest addition, Ronda Rousey. Rousey made her WWE debut at the Royal Rumble PPV confronting the winner Asuka and the two champions Charlotte and Alexa Bliss.
Raw GM Kurt Angle announced last week that Rousey will be signing her Raw contract at the Elimination Chamber PPV and we have to wait to find out how this will affect the women's title picture going into WrestleMania.
With all that said, we can expect some sort of clarity on the situation on this week's episode of Raw.
#1 Roman Reigns' booking before he wins the elimination chamber match
WWE's Big Dog, Roman Reigns is set to walk into the elimination chamber match this Sunday to secure a spot to face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 34. It is certain that he will walk out as victorious from the elimination chamber and will go beast hunting at WrestleMania.
This week's Raw will feature a huge 7 men gauntlet match featuring the participants of the men's elimination chamber match. The outcome of this match will be a huge factor going into Sunday.
We can expect Roman Reigns to play a very dominant role in this match, he may not win this match though as it will make Sunday's result more predictable. So, expect the Big Dog to be eliminated by Braun Strowman.
I guess this will be the last time we will see Roman Reigns get pinned for a while as he is set to main event his fourth WrestleMania in a row.
