WWE RAW will emanate tonight from the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland. The build-up to the Clash Of Champions pay-per-view will continue tonight, as well. As the match-card keeps shaping up every week, tonight we'll get to know more about what we can expect to see at the event.
Last week's show featured a rematch between AJ Styles and Braun Strowman for the United States Championship which ended in a disqualification after the referee saw Strowman with the chair. Moreover, Sasha Banks silenced Natalya after defeating her in a match.
Ricochet pulled an upset against Drew McIntyre to advance into the King Of The Ring quarter finals. Baron Corbin also defeated The Miz to advance into the quarterfinals. 'The Fiend' made a cameo during the show. We also saw the formation of an alliance between Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler who are now the No.1 contenders for the RAW Tag Team titles.
In this article, let's take a look at 5 things that might happen on RAW tonight.
#5 Rey Mysterio announces his tag team with Dominick Mysterio
Rey Mysterio has been back in the WWE for almost a year, but he hasn't done anything significant lately. Mysterio recently had a mini-feud with Andrade in which El Idolo completely dominated him and won two consecutive matches against him.
The Master Of The 619 was very disappointed by his performance over the past couple of weeks, and went as far as thinking about his retirement. However, his son Dominick Mysterio consoled him and made him feel better. He went on to ask his father to team up with him.
WWE has announced that Mysterio will be returning to RAW this week. It looks like we may see an alliance between Mysterio and Dominick as Mysterio said he had a "conversation" with his son which has stopped him from taking a retirement.
Tonight, we'll find out what's in store for The Greatest Mask Of All Time.
#4 Change in the RAW Tag Team Championship match at Clash Of Champions
WWE is wasting no time in setting up matches for the Clash Of Champions pay-per-view. Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman captured the RAW Tag Team Championship a couple of weeks ago. A week after their win, an 8-team tag team turmoil took place on RAW to decide the challengers for the new champions at Clash Of Champions.
A team which no one had ever seen before, made their debut during the match and surprisingly, became the number one contenders for the Tag Team titles. It was none other than The Showoff, Dolph Ziggler, and The Glorious Robert Roode. Once bitter enemies, they will now be competing as a team at Clash Of Champions.
However, there's a huge possibility that WWE will make some changes in the match at Clash Of Champions.
Strowman and Rollins are two of the most protected wrestlers in WWE currently. It's clear that they'll lose their titles at the event as the duo isn't going to last long. However, WWE won't let a brand new tag team like Roode and Ziggler pin two of the top stars in the company.
Therefore, it's possible that we'll see the match become a triple-threat or a fatal-four way bout by adding Gallows and Anderson and The Viking Raiders to it. Both the teams ended the tag team turmoil in a messy finish which is why they might get another chance to be added to the match. This way, WWE will crown new champions without getting Rollins and Strowman pinned.
#3 Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks face off
A night after her successful title defense against Natalya at SummerSlam, Becky Lynch was viciously beaten down by the returning Sasha Banks. While Lynch tried to save Natalya from Banks' assault, she herself became a victim of one.
Two weeks ago on RAW, The Man claimed that Sasha Banks was the "Greatest Woman On The Roster To Never Be Great", and called her out for a match in the future. Banks continued with her rampage, and beat down Nattie once again later that night.
Sasha Banks cut a promo last week on RAW and expressed her anger over how she was stuck in a pointless tag team match at WrestleMania while Lynch main evented the show. Later that night, The Boss won against Natalya in dominating fashion and beat her down after the match to send a message to the RAW Women's Champion.
WWE is teasing a face-off between Banks and Lynch tonight. Now that Banks is done with Nattie, she'll be going after The Man to replace her as the top woman in WWE. Lynch may be a part of the main event of RAW tonight as WWE will be looking to plug her appearance on Straight Up Steve Austin after the show.
We may get to see an interruption from Banks during a Lynch match or a face-to-face confrontation between the two rivals.
#2 Baron Corbin and Ricochet advance into the King Of The Ring semi-finals
The King Of The Ring Tournament will enter its quarter-finals phase tonight on RAW. Baron Corbin is set to face Cedric Alexander while Ricochet will be go head-to-head against The Samoan Submission Machine, Samoa Joe.
Baron Corbin vs. Cedric Alexander is going to be quite an unpredictable bout. Corbin is on a roll in the tournament and is one of the favorites to win it. On the other hand, Alexander who's one of the underdogs in the tournament, has been surprising everyone with his wins over top wrestlers.
The bout is going to be a Vince McMahon vs. Paul Heyman kind of matchup. The chairman of WWE wants to push Corbin as he has been a really great heel, while Heyman is very supportive of Alexander. Looking at the results of the previous matches, Corbin is more likely to advance into the semis.
After getting a surprising win over Drew McIntyre last week, Ricochet will be going head-to-head against his former foe Samoa Joe tonight in the quarter-final round of King Of The Ring. The One And Only looks like the favorite in this match.
Firstly, he's on the list of Paul Heyman's favorite wrestlers. Secondly, Joe has been putting over young talent quite frequently this year. In addition, Joe doesn't need the King Of The Ring Tournament, while Ricochet needs it very much to enhance his character.
#1 Tensions build up between Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman
WWE pulled a swerve two weeks ago on RAW and crowned new Tag Team Champions. When everyone waited for a bout between AJ Styles and Braun Strowman for the United States Championship, WWE did the unexpected.
After winning the RAW Tag Team Championship alongside him, Strowman challenged his partner Rollins to a Universal Championship match at the Clash Of Champions pay-per-view next month.
The Monster Among Men faced AJ Styles last week in a rematch for the United States Championship. However, he failed to capture the title after Styles pulled an Eddie Guerrero and got Strowman disqualified by the referee. The Monster Among Men lost it and laid down The OC after the match.
Strowman won't be pleased with how The (other) Man left him alone to fight The OC. It looks like that tonight will be the night when tensions start building up between the new Tag Team Champions. Strowman's anger from last week may even increase and lead to a heel turn tonight.
Rollins on the other hand wasn't expecting Strowman to challenge him, which is why he was very frustrated when The Monster Among Men challenged him. With a lot of things on Rollins' and Strowman's plate, we can expect a crack between them to start developing tonight.
