This week Monday Night Raw emanated from Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, and it was the go-home episode for the red brand before they hold the Crown Jewel show in Saudi Arabia.
The company has been under hot water for holding the show on 2nd November after the events that transpired in the country. WWE first stated that they are 'monitoring the situation' and now it is sure that they will be holding the show to complete their 10-year multi-million dollar deal. The show has some veterans performing in tag team action, as well as a Battle Royal.
Sportskeeda is the one-stop destination for latest WWE rumors and wrestling news.
Braun Strowman won the battle royal last year, and this year he is involved in the Universal Championship Match with Brock Lesnar. This week the company tried everything in their power to hype the matches at the show, and some of them were worth the time on the show, the others fell blatant and didn't entice fans to be involved in the show or the event in Saudi Arabia on Friday.
While the segments weren't worthwhile, here are 5 things that WWE told us on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw:
#5 Nia Jax will be a heel
Nia Jax was involved in a backstage altercation with Ember Moon. When the two were involved in a match, Tamina Snuka walked down to the ring, and the two cousin sisters had a stare down before the daughter of Jimmy 'Fly' Snuka left the ring, and Nia Jax picked up the win.
This staredown may look like a normal one, but it seems like Nia Jax will become a heel in the process as Ronda Rousey is performing well as a babyface. The company would want to have a babyface versus heel match instead of a babyface versus babyface because that doesn't give the storyline or feud any value.
#4 DX will prevail at WWE Crown Jewel
DX set a trap for 'The Brothers Of Destruction' during the go-home episode of Monday Night Raw, and the two tag teams have been cutting promos over the weeks since WWE Super Show-Down ended.
The time to build up this feud was almost a month, and the company did everything in their capacity to build it up, but it still doesn't feel well scripted. The fact that the wrestlers involved in this match are veterans and know how to build up a storyline has made the feud still watchable on the weekly television.
The last attack in this storyline was done by DX's Shawn Michaels, but The Deadman did the last sign which meant 'Rest In Peace.' We have seen that the person or team getting the last impact in a storyline loses at the pay-per-view, and so DX shall prevail in this match.
#3 'The Revival' can't be revived due to creative lack of vision
'The Revival' is one of the most dominant teams in the WWE, and they made a powerful impact in the tag team division during their time on the yellow brand. After their main roster debut, it seemed like the company has forgotten them and their skills, but after they were shown watching a tag-team fight backstage, it looked like they are going to be the next tag team champions.
The company instead went with Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler, and the duo lost the titles last week to Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose. The tag team titles went into jeopardy after the former Shield Brother, and Lunatic Fringe attacked 'The Kingslayer.'
This week we saw The Revival take on Lucha House Party instead of challenging the current tag team champions for the titles. If the company gives them the storyline, and the championship they deserve it would be 'Best For Business' or else the company's creative team has lost its creative direction to take care of The Revival.
#2 Braun Strowman for next WWE Universal Champion
Braun Strowman interrupted the promo by Paul Heyman again this week, and also took down the acting Raw General Manager, Baron Corbin. The 'Monster Among Men' has become a babyface again after Roman Reigns left to heal from his disease, and whether he plays a heel or babyface, the fans still love him.
This week it was no different as the 'Monster In The Bank' holder came out to confront his opponent at WWE Crown Jewel, and it was a great promo as well as a wonderful segment involving him and 'The Beast Incarnate.'
The two worked a great promo before Brock Lesnar hit Braun Strowman with an F5. It is clear to everyone that Paul Heyman's Client is headed to UFC and with Drew McIntyre still not in this feud, the result is clear to all.
It would be a great sight to see the Battle Royal winner from last year win WWE Universal Championship in the same country.
#1 Women's Champion of both the brands might face off
In a traditional champion versus champion match, WWE informed the fans that the Raw Women's Champion will take on Smackdown Women's Champion at Survivor Series.
This will start a series of promos between the two champions, and Becky Lynch will have the upper hand as Smackdown airs today, and she can fire the first shot to start this feud. 'The Lasskicker' has been in phenomenal shape since turning heel and her promos, as well as work inside the ring, is loved by WWE officials. Not only is it generating heat, but it is also giving the fans a lot of joy seeing the Irish Champion play her character to perfection.
We may see these two get into a powerful feud, and if Ronda Rousey's promo from Raw two weeks ago is any indication expect a lot of hard words, and fight before they fight inside the ring on 18th November.
