With just a couple of weeks left for WrestleMania 34, tonight's RAW is expected to be a big one. We expect that a number of storylines will move forward tonight, on the second last RAW before WrestleMania.
One of the big questions heading into tonight is whether Brock Lesnar will be on the show after his cowardly attack on Roman Reigns last week. We also expect an update on Roman Reigns.
Matt Hardy will return tonight after the Ultimate Deletion and it will be interesting to see what WWE has in store for him at New Orleans. As far as the RAW Tag-Team Championships are concerned, we'll probably find out who his partner will be.
All this, and a lot more, on this week's RAW preview.
#5 Undertaker finally responds to Cena's challenge
John Cena called out Undertaker, once again, on last week's episode of RAW before the Deadman's brother answered the challenge before chokeslamming Cena. Cena will face Kane on this week's episode of RAW and seeing how there are only two weeks left for WrestleMania, Undertaker has to return tonight.
Undertaker vs Cena is one of the biggest matches on the WrestleMania card and one half of the match hasn't even shown up yet while the other has been whining how he doesn't want to go to WrestleMania as a fan before proceeding to try and get under Taker's skin to get him to accept the challenge.
The build hasn't been great so far but that surely has to change tonight, right?
#4 Who will Matt Hardy DELETE next?
The Ultimate Deletion main-evented RAW last week and despite Michael Cole's misgivings, turned out to be a resounding success. #UltimateDeletion trended at #1 on Twitter while the match garnered rave reviews from most fans including a number of former and current WWE stars including Hulk Hogan.
Matt Hardy may have deleted Bray Wyatt but what's next for Hardy at WrestleMania? Who will be deleted next?
#3 Braun Strowman's tag-team partner
Braun Strowman won the #1 contender's tag-team battle royal to single-handedly earn a shot at the RAW Tag-Team Championships. Despite this, it looks like Braun will not be facing The Bar alone and we could find out the identity of his tag-team partner tonight.
As of now, a number of names are being thrown around as speculation grows. The favourite at this point seems to be Braun's former nemesis, Elias. Other names being mentioned include Bray Wyatt, Braun's former leader during his Wyatt Family days.
However, the most interesting name being mentioned, although seemingly unlikely at this point, is Bobby Lashley. Speculation suggests that Lashley has already signed a contract to secure his WWE return and WrestleMania could be a great stage for him to come back into the fold.
#2 Are WWE's power couple ready for Ronda Rousey?
Ronda Rousey showed us some of what she could do after last week's RAW. Dana Brooke confronted Rousey after RAW went off air and Rousey made short work of her.
Rousey will team up with Olympic gold medallist Kurt Angle to take on Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. With the being said, it begs the question, have Triple H and Stephanie McMahon bitten off more than they can chew this time?
Does Stephanie McMahon have any idea what she's gotten herself into? How will she cope inside the ring against the former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion?
Let's hope Triple H and Stephanie McMahon have a gameplan.
#1 Will Roman Reigns be fit in time for WrestleMania?
Roman Reigns was at the end of a vicious beating at the hands of Brock Lesnar last week on RAW. Reigns was handcuffed when Lesnar came out and destroyed the 3-time WWE Champion in a cowardly attack befitting Kevin Owens.
It looks unlikely that Brock will be on RAW tonight and we will have to see if WWE make an announcement of Reigns, obviously in kayfabe.
