WWE Raw after Hell In A Cell 2018: 5 last-minute predictions

The first episode of WWE Raw since Hell In A Cell takes place in Dallas, Texas on Monday.

One of the biggest storylines heading into the show surrounds Brock Lesnar, who made a surprising return to WWE on Sunday by interfering in the Universal Championship main event between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman, causing the match to end in a draw.

We can expect to see all the fallout from Hell In A Cell on Monday’s episode, with Drew McIntyre, Dolph Ziggler, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Ronda Rousey and Alexa Bliss all advertised to appear following their involvement in title matches at the PPV.

Elsewhere on the show, WWE has been promoting all week long that The Undertaker will make a rare Raw appearance to address Triple H’s comments from last week about their upcoming match at Super Show-Down.

As of the time of writing, no matches have been confirmed for Monday’s episode, but it’s safe to assume that the likes of Kevin Owens, Bobby Lashley, Finn Balor and AOP will be in action.

In this article, let’s take a look at five last-minute predictions for the show.

#5 What will The Undertaker say?

The Undertaker interrupted Shawn Michaels a fortnight ago

The war of words between The Undertaker and Triple H stepped up a gear last week when HHH appeared on Raw and vowed to “put ‘The Deadman’ down” when they meet in Melbourne, Australia for the last-ever time next month.

This week, it’s The Undertaker’s turn to respond to “The Game”, which is interesting because the WrestleMania icon has already had plenty to say on this match to Shawn Michaels and he is usually a man of few words.

With that in mind, let’s predict that things will get physical this week with ‘Taker trying to prove to HHH that he’s still got it by delivering a chokeslam to his upcoming opponent.

Prediction: The Undertaker chokeslams Triple H

#4 What next for Ronda Rousey?

The Bella Twins recently returned to WWE television

With Alexa Bliss officially out of the Raw Women’s Championship picture, attention now turns to the 3-on-3 match between The Riott Squad and Ronda Rousey & The Bella Twins at Super Show-Down.

Ronda is yet to have an altercation with any members of The Riott Squad to promote the match, so perhaps she could be outnumbered by Ruby Riott, Sarah Logan and Liv Morgan during a promo segment on Monday, allowing Nikki and Brie to make the save.

Prediction: The Bella Twins thwart an attack from The Riott Squad

#3 Who will challenge Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre next?

"The Dogs of War" defeated Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose on Sunday

WWE has confirmed that Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre will team with Braun Strowman against all three members of The Shield at Super Show-Down, so it looks like Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose will remain in the Raw Tag Team Championship picture for at least the next three weeks.

In the short-term, however, The Revival were robbed of their tag title opportunity by Ziggler & McIntyre a fortnight ago, so let’s predict that acting GM Baron Corbin will grant them a match against Braun’s “Dogs of War” for next week’s episode.

Prediction: The Revival receive a title match

#2 How will Bobby Lashley react to Kevin Owens’ attack?

Bobby Lashley was attacked by Kevin Owens a fortnight ago

Kevin Owens obliterated Tyler Breeze before their match even started last week, explaining afterwards that he attacked Bobby Lashley two weeks ago as revenge for him injuring Sami Zayn.

"The Dominator" also appeared on last week's episode but only in a segment with 205 Live star Lio Rush, who gave him a pep talk backstage.

Perhaps Lashley will be in a match this week against a mid-carder (Jinder Mahal, maybe?) and Rush can make the save, showing off his athletic prowess in the process, when KO inevitable attacks his rival during/after the match.

Prediction: Lio Rush prevents Kevin Owens’ latest attack on Bobby Lashley

#1 Will Brock Lesnar appear?

Brock Lesnar interfered in Sunday's main event

Brock Lesnar returned to WWE in the main event of Hell In A Cell on Sunday, kicking down the door of the cell structure before attacking Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman.

As things stand, “The Beast” is not currently advertised to appear on this week’s Raw, but WWE is speculating on its website that he could demand a rematch for the Universal Championship from acting GM Baron Corbin – something that was declined by Kurt Angle last month.

It’s tough to predict what will happen in this storyline, but WWE’s kayfabe theory on its website sounds plausible, so let’s predict that Lesnar will attack both men again on this week’s episode, leaving Corbin with no choice but to give him a future title opportunity.

Prediction: Brock Lesnar attacks Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman
