This week's Raw was one of the most eventful ones of recent times. Major talking points included Roman Reigns' update on his cancer, Ric Flair's birthday celebrations and Becky Lynch getting arrested. The road to WrestleMania is getting heated as every week major storyline updates are received and to the pleasure of WWE Universe, these updates have been spectacular.
Here we talk about 4 things the company secretly told us on Raw:
#4 A Shield reunion might be witnessed at WrestleMania
Roman Reigns received one of the biggest pops of recent times when he made a return last night and announced his cancer is in remission. It’s great to see the Big Dog back and WWE couldn’t have asked for better timing. Roman’s best friend Seth Rollins is set to face Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania in what might be the hardest, toughest and definitely most dangerous fight of Seth Rollins’ career. WWE Creative have tried to involve Dean somewhere in this angle as the lunatic fringe did show his support for his former shield member.
Dean said and we quote, “Slay The Beast”. That did bring a lot of cheer and over the weeks, Ambrose has shown signs of a face turn and it does increase the curiosity levels as to where the company is going with him.
With that said, the WWE Universe witnessed a classic shield moment when Dean was being brutally attacked by 4 humongous personalities in the form of Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, Baron Corbin and Elias. As the 4 aforementioned names were brutally attacking the lunatic fringe, out came the Kingslayer and the Big Dog to clean the house.
Knowing the WWE, this might lead to a Shield Reunion at Wrestlemania where Seth Rollins battles Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title.
Brock and Roman's rivalry is known by the world and it won't surprise many if the Big Dog decides to spear the Beast Incarnate to help his Shield brother in conquering Lesnar.
And for Dean, rumours are that the lunatic fringe is leaving the company and this might be a great move for WWE and Dean Ambrose as a shield reunion for the last time will let Dean leave on a high.
#3 The McMahons are not on the same page
The recent events around the Raw Women’s Championship have been full of twists and turns. From Becky getting stripped of her opportunity at WrestleMania to Charlotte Flair being Vince Mcmahon’s chosen one, the heat is on and the journey is proving to be an enticing one.
If recent trends are put into the picture, it’s clear that Stephanie McMahon and Triple H don’t really stand on the same page with the Chairman of the company. Their actions, words don’t seem to be favouring Vince Mcmahon’s decision and this might be the new angle in this already intriguing story.
Till now we got a hint that Triple H was somewhere not really opposing Becky's actions and he personally liked The Man's guts but this week Stephanie too displayed her displeasure of the recent situation.
Vince is clear of who he thinks should be Ronda's opponent and the Baddest woman on the planet did slip out the prospect of a triple threat match at WrestleMania during her emotional segment on raw with the commissioner, Stephanie McMahon.
It remains to be seen where McMahons involve themselves in the hottest feud of the company.
#2 Triple h vs Batista is really happening
The biggest talking point from this week’s Raw was Batista’s surprise appearance backstage where he attacked Ric Flair to grab one man’s attention. One man who The Animal wants to face and that man is none other than the COO of the Company, Triple H.
Batista has been teasing a match with The Game on social media and has even spoken publicly about his desire to face The Game one more time and if recent outcomings in the company are put into the frame then it seems the match might be on.
The bout between Triple h and Batista was planned way before but due to Triple H’s unfortunate injury at Crown Jewel, it had to be postponed. WWE did tease the idea on Smackdown Live’s 1000 episodes celebration and this Raw was another step in that direction.
Batista’s actions on Raw do suggest that The Game is available to compete at Wrestlemania and his match with his former Evolution buddy Batista is right on.
#1 WWE going all in for an all women main-event at WrestleMania
The WWE Creative is leaving no stone unturned into making the Raw Women’s title match a credible main event match. Becky Lynch getting arrested and then Ronda Rousey dropping the Raw Women’s Championship do suggest this storyline will unfold magnificently in the coming weeks.
There has never been a women’s main event at Wrestlemania but WWE Creative is hinting at making history by putting 3 of the most talented, gifted and accomplished superstars in the women division in one match.
A Triple threat match for the Raw Women’s Championship is on the cards and it’s just a formality at the official end to make this official. Every week the WWE is putting efforts to make this matchup all the more fascinating and this week was no different as Becky returned to brawl with Ronda who in turn of events lost her cool and dropped the belt right in front of Stephanie McMahon.
It remains to be seen which new angle is introduced on Smackdown this week.
