The heart of the matter
WWE RAW will be taking place on the 8th of May 2017 at the O2 Arena in London, UK.
The five teams that have been announced for the WWE RAW Tag Team Turmoil match at the event are Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, Enzo and Cass, Golden Truth (Goldust and R-Truth), Sheamus and Cesaro, as well as Heath Slater and Rhyno.
What’s next?
It is expected that Sheamus and Cesaro, who have just turned heels, will come away with the win during this match. However, credible challenges might be presented from the other teams in the contest as well, and it remains to be seen how this contest will unfold.
An interference from the Hardys cannot be ruled out either.
