RAW Preview: WrestleMania 35 rematch, Huge title change?

It's the first episode of RAW after WWE Super ShowDown 2019, and we have quite a lot to talk about! Let us just start by saying that we really hope that we never see another Goldberg vs The Undertaker match. Or Undertaker vs anyone, or Goldberg vs anyone, for that matter.

The more they wrestle, the more they tarnish their legacy, it seems. Either way, that was a one-off, and we don't have to see that again. We may not see Goldberg wrestle again, but we will see The Undertaker wrestle on the next Saudi Arabia show for sure.

Either way, this isn't about Goldberg and Undertaker, it's about the show with actual full-time wrestlers (and Brock Lesnar). Ricochet won the trilogy with Cesaro, Triple H and Randy Orton got into a war of words, Drew McIntyre and The Revival defeated Roman Reigns & The Usos while Nikki Cross pinned one-half of the Women's Tag Team Champions Peyton Royce. Rey Mysterio vacated the United States Championship and a few other relatively inconsequential things happened.

But let's look at tonight's episode of RAW in what should be a very exciting night!

#7. Braun Strowman stands tall

Braun Strowman defeated Bobby Lashley clean in the battle of titans at Super ShowDown. It felt like a true Super Heavyweight fight, and Strowman brought it to Lashley as few others have before.

It was great for him because he's had little to no momentum in 2019, having lost his Universal title opportunity as well as having a bad year in general. A loss to Lashley would only have made it worse, but with that victory, Strowman is ready to take a step up to the ladder again.

Is it time for Strowman to start gunning for Seth Rollins and the Universal Championship?

#6. Miz TV with Samoa Joe

It's time for Miz TV again! Last time he hosted his old rival Roman Reigns and they had to unexpectedly form a temporary alliance. Tonight, The Miz hosts none other than the 2-time United States Champion Samoa Joe on Miz TV.

It's certainly going to be interesting to watch. Samoa Joe was handed back the United States title by Rey Mysterio, who reluctantly vacated it due to an injury. With Joe having the title back, he probably feels that all is right with the world.

But we all know how Miz TV goes and if anything, Joe is going to have to deal with some hard-hitting questions from The Miz. We predict that it's going to be the start of a rivalry between The Miz and Joe for the United States Championship.

Will The A-Lister be able to secure a title match at Stomping Grounds?

#5. "Best in the World" celebration

Shane McMahon is going to have a field night

Shane McMahon pulled off a massive upset at WWE Super ShowDown when he defeated Roman Reigns. Of course, it wasn't without help from Drew McIntyre, but tonight, Shane McMahon is going to have the time of his life as he celebrates his victory.

Roman Reigns, meanwhile, has to refocus on Drew McIntyre at Stomping Grounds. However, it's safe to assume that he will be making an appearance tonight. It's kind of odd that Roman Reigns literally appears on every show now, almost as though that's intentional and was the purpose of the Wildcard rule to begin with.

Either way, Shane McMahon is going to have the announcer shout "Best in the world" more than once tonight. Drew McIntyre is certainly going to have something to say, but will Roman Reigns retaliate at the duo?

#4. The 24/7 chase continues

We're not going to lie. The WWE 24/7 Championship was easily been the single most entertaining part about WWE since it was introduced. It's even better that R-Truth is the central figure in all of this because he adds to the element in a big way.

For the last few weeks, he's been chased after and lost the title to Elias twice and Jinder Mahal once. The Jinder title changes were even more hilarious because he lost it on a golf course and won it back while Mahal was sleeping on a plane.

Tonight on RAW, we can expect a lot more 24/7 chaos tonight from R-Truth and the RAW roster. The only question is - why on earth is R-Truth showing up when he's a designated SmackDown superstar? Either way, we won't complain about it - more R-Truth means more entertainment!

#3. Becky Lynch and Lacey Evans collide

Last week was a great one for Becky Lynch. She may not have gotten to defend her RAW Women's Championship at Saudi Arabia, but she did get to watch two of her fierce rivals go at it against each other.

It was Lacey Evans vs Charlotte Flair - the two women who Becky Lynch kept comparing to each other. With both having turned on each other after their brief alliance, the RAW Women's Champion was able to sit ringside and watch as the two went at it.

Unsurprisingly, Becky Lynch got involved herself and caused a disqualification, taking out Lacey Evans and standing tall. While Evans didn't get the better of the champion last week, she'll try to get the upper hand this week. Will tensions boil as we get closer to the title match at Stomping Grounds?

#2. Zack Ryder & Curt Hawkins vs The Revival - RAW Tag Team Championship

The Revival didn't have a great night at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia as their arch enemies, The Usos defeated them. However, even in defeat, they've earned a title opportunity against reigning RAW Tag Team Champions Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins.

Let's face the truth - their tag team title reign has been extremely underwhelming, having title defences far and few in between. Now that The Revival have formed an alliance with Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre, we wholeheartedly believe that we will see interference in the WrestleMania 35 rematch.

Moreover, we also predict that there's going to be a huge title change and The Revival will cement themselves as 2-time RAW Tag Team Champions. However, that would also mean their rivalry with The Usos would continue, this time with the titles on the line.

#1. Seth Rollins ruins Brock party

Brock Lesnar's foolishness was exposed at Super ShowDown

So we expected a cash-in at WWE Super ShowDown, primarily because MITB holder Brock Lesnar said so himself. He could have easily cashed in his briefcase last week on RAW after decimating Seth Rollins, but he decided that he wanted to do so in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Seth Rollins defeated Baron Corbin convincingly, after which Corbin hit The End of Days anyway. This was Brock Lesnar's opening, and he even came out, but Paul Heyman tripped on the rope, making Lesnar shift his focus momentarily.

This would cost him dearly as Rollins hit the low blow on Lesnar and then proceeded to decimate him with a steel chair. He even hit the curb stomp on Lesnar against the briefcase, adding insult to injury.

What will the Universal Champion have to say to Lesnar? Will The Beast Incarnate show up himself?
