WWE Raw Preview: October 1st, 2018

Enter cap

We're in for an interesting episode of RAW this week. On the Shield's front, some mind games have been going on, with Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre trying to put ideas in Dean Ambrose's head.

This didn't affect The Shield too bad on the night, however, because they wound up taking out Baron Corbin and The Authors of Pain in the main event.

The big headlines from last week was that Brie Bella concussed Liv Morgan during their six-woman tag team match. It didn't reflect well on Brie, so it'll be interesting to see how she deals with it this week.

Triple H, while not really speaking about The Undertaker, mentioned in passing that everyone knows his time is done. Dark words, but hard to argue with. The mind games continue between the two legends.

The Ascension got a major victory last week when Konnor defeated Chad Gable in a shocking upset. Meanwhile, Lio Rush and Bobby Lashley continued to get the better of Kevin Owens and Elias.

In what many considered an all-out war, McIntyre & Ziggler narrowly retained the RAW Tag Team titles against The Revival. One must think that after the close contest, The Top Guys are going to be back in contention sooner than later.

Now that we've caught you up with what happened last week, let's look ahead and see what you have to look forward to on RAW tonight!

#5 It's about to get Rowdy in Seattle

En
The RAW Women's Champ returns to action

After an absence last week, Ronda Rousey is going to look to get revenge for Natalya when she takes on Riott Squad leader Ruby Riott.

This is surely going to be a grudge match to follow. Don't expect the champ to pass through Riott with ease. If anything, Ruby Riott has proven herself to be a worthy competitor to the top stars (despite some slyness here and there).

This could be the main event and it would certainly be a worthy one for Ronda Rousey's in-ring return!

#4 Kevin Owens looks to get one over Bobby Lashley

Will Kevin Owens finally get one over?

Lio Rush's recent partnership with Bobby Lashley has stirred some problems involving Kevin Owens and Elias. After a well-contested bout, Lashley beat Elias, but only by DQ.

With Lio Rush surely being in his corner and Elias surely being in KO's corner, one would imagine that there's going to be chaos once again. One thing's for sure, while Elias and KO certainly look for trouble, Lio Rush does a pretty good job of stirring the pot!

#3 Gable and Roode strike back?

Gable suffered an upset last week

Chad Gable suffered a shock defeat to The Ascension's Konnor last week. With the former NXT Tag Team Champions picking up their first singles victory in forever, don't expect Gable to sit back idly.

He's going to come for revenge and Bobby Roode is going to do everything in his power to make sure that he gets one back. It's either going to be as a team or individually, but one thing's for sure: Roode & Gable are going to walk out of the rivalry victorious.

#2 Shawn Michaels returns...but will be alone?

HBK is back!
HBK is back!

Shawn Michaels had a tense exchange of words with The Undertaker a few weeks ago. In that exchange, he even teased an in-ring return.

This week, Triple H's cornerman for Super Show-Down returns to have his final say, but will he be alone? Or will The Undertaker be right behind him ready to continue the mind games?

It won't be a surprise if The Deadman does return, but it will certainly be welcomed by the WWE Universe. Will Shawn Michaels once again tease an in-ring return?

#1 Will The Shield retaliate?

Universal Champion Roman Reigns, Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose are ready for a main event melee.
The Shield don't have the cracks...yet

Last week, Braun Strowman, Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre tried to put the idea that Dean Ambrose is isolated from The Shield. While Ambrose didn't really say much throughout the episode, he was given offers from Dolph Ziggler.

Seth Rollins tried retaliating with mind games of his own on Drew McIntyre, but the latter didn't seem to fall for it. Just what is going through Dean Ambrose's head?

At the end of the episode, Dean Ambrose seemed to show solidarity in The Shield. It's going to be interesting to see how they retaliate this time around.
