A WrestleMania rematch!

Welcome to this week's edition of RAW Preview. It wasn't the best few weeks of RAW post-WrestleMania, but tonight's episode promises to deliver, with some mouth-watering match-ups, including potentially two rematches from WrestleMania 37.

WrestleMania Backlash is getting closer, and WWE needs to pick up the pace to catch up with SmackDown - which has undoubtedly been better before and after WrestleMania.

WWE has that opportunity this week on RAW, and this is what you should be looking forward to:


#5. Bobby Lashley will battle either Drew McIntyre or Braun Strowman on RAW

Last week's episode of RAW resulted in a big change to the WWE Title match at WrestleMania Backlash. Braun Strowman argued that he hadn't technically lost the number one contender's match since Drew McIntyre pinned Randy Orton.

It allowed little space for Strowman to make his case for a WWE Title shot - something he vowed he would get before WrestleMania. But after a chaotic start to RAW, Strowman would have his opportunity.

Braun Strowman defeated Drew McIntyre in the main event thanks to chaos at ringside. He pinned the two-time WWE Champion and was officially added to the World Title match at WrestleMania Backlash.

Bobby Lashley was anything but happy about it, but he's back to work this week on RAW. In an interesting announcement for RAW, it was revealed that Bobby Lashley will either face Drew McIntyre in a WrestleMania rematch, or he will face Braun Strowman.

We're not sure why WWE hasn't decided who he will face on RAW, but Braun Strowman seems like the obvious pick, especially since Drew McIntyre vs. Bobby Lashley was the WrestleMania WWE Title match.

However, the dream match is likely to end in controversy on RAW, as those kinds of finishes have been happening more regularly. It could also be WWE's way of protecting both Bobby Lashley and Braun Strowman.

#4. What is the aftermath of Charlotte Flair's reinstatement on RAW?

After getting suspended for a full week, Charlotte Flair was reinstated on RAW last week. It wasn't Adam Pearce but his assistant Sonya Deville who decided to bring The Queen back on RAW.

Charlotte Flair paid her $100,000 fine and will look to enter right back into the RAW Women's Championship picture. This is likely the episode where Charlotte Flair will get a title shot at WrestleMania Backlash.


#3. Is RKBro going to enter the RAW Tag Team division?

The unlikely duo of Randy Orton and Riddle teamed up on RAW to defeat former Tag Team Champions Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin. They looked like a well-oiled machine, and despite his initial reluctance, Randy Orton seemed open to the idea of teaming up with Riddle.

It was a fun match and we expect to see more of them soon. After potentially facing another team and winning, is it time for RKBro to enter the RAW Tag Team division?

#2. The Women's Tag Team Titles will be on the line

Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler have been losing a lot on both RAW and SmackDown lately. Despite being one of the most dominant Superstars, Shayna Baszler has taken pinfall after pinfall.

This week on RAW, the team of Lana and Naomi will compete for the Women's Tag Team Titles. It should be a fun match, but it's hard to see Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax losing their Titles at the moment.


#1. The RAW Tag Team Titles are on the line in a WrestleMania rematch

The RAW Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Omos have been missing ever since they won the Titles at WrestleMania 37. AJ Styles will return to RAW as a Grand Slam Champion. In a WrestleMania 37 rematch, he and Omos will defend the RAW Tag Team Titles against The New Day.

Last week, The New Day and Damian Priest were throwing tomatoes at their rivals, so let's just skip that bit. Will AJ Styles and Omos return to retain the RAW Tag Team Titles?
