4 Things that should happen at this week's Raw (18 March 2019)

With WrestleMania right around the corner, it is clear that the focus has completely moved to the show of shows and the preparations are ramping up. But still, there are some matches that have not gotten finalized and then there are some in which the hype train is probably just not up to speed yet.

With WrestleMania fast approaching, these matches need to get their rightful push and this week's Raw provides a perfect opportunity for the same.

Let's have a look at the 4 things that should happen at this week's Raw.

#1 Brock Lesnar makes his return to Raw

This was the only interaction the two have had ever since the Seth Chose Brock as his opponent at Wrestlemania

It won't be wrong to say that unfortunately Seth Rollins is caught at a wrong place at the wrong time. This match was supposed to be the biggest of his career but the circumstances have been such that the match is slowly becoming an afterthought.

From the looks of it, everything had seemed perfect in the beginning. Rollins had won the Royal Rumble and was going up against the most dominant player in the game who has pretty much-destroyed everything in his path. Everything was perfect.

But then the rumors surface of the match between Daniel Cormier and Brock Lesnar close to getting finalized and you see videos of Brock training hard on the internet. At the same time, Brock remains absent from live television and the match is slowly becoming an afterthought because of this.

With the biggest PPV of the year around the corner, WWE would really need to bring Lesnar back because if the biggest prize in the wrestling gets neglected it won't do the show any good. With Seth scheduled to face up to Drew McIntyre at this week's edition of Raw, we could see Brock making an appearance and attacking Seth which ultimately helps in bringing the feud back to life.

#2 Charlotte gains the upper hand

Charlotte Flair has been a bit of an outsider in the Triple Threat match

We've got to admit that throughout the battle in the women's main event Charlotte has been a bit of an outsider. She was nowhere in the picture until Becky got injured at Survivor Series. She swarmed her way back by thrashing Rousey at Survivor Series but then again got sidelined as Becky won the Royal Rumble by tossing her out of the ring.

The heat between Ronda and Becky looks legitimate but Charlotte has been just lurking there and not doing much. Yes she's cut promos and some of them have been really impressive but you've got to admit that the spotlight is not really been on her for this match.

In the wake of that, it would make sense to bring her back into the fold because while the other two ladies have certainly had an upper hand WWE would not want Charlotte to fall by the wayside.

#3 Roman Reigns return against McIntyre

Drew Mcintyre attacked Roman Reigns and put him out of action in the previous edition of Raw

We don't really know yet the direction which Drew McIntyre's assault on The Shield members is going to take. He's taken down Roman Reigns and then dominated Dean Ambrose in their match.

He's even called out Seth Rollins on the next week's edition of Monday Night Raw. Does it mean finally a Championship push for Drew and could we actually see Drew entering the championship picture at WrestleMania (considering Brock is hardly around)?

Or does this mean a feud between Drew and one of the members of the Shield at WrestleMania? Right now it's the second scenario that seems more than likely and if that is the case then Roman Reigns needs to make a return because if these two collide it would be one of the better matches on the card and should be given proper airtime to gain some momentum.

#4 Batista makes an impact to fuel the feud even more

Batista making an appearance on Raw would really help the feud

The match between Batista and Triple H was announced last week but you've got to admit that the match needs some much-deserved momentum. There've been a couple of appearances by Batista and a promo by Triple H but it feels that the audience has still not warmed up to him.

A match with Batista in action or him attacking Triple H and making a statement would fuel the fire that is already there between the two. What it will also do is condition the fans who are still getting used to Batista making a comeback.

Either a singles match where he completely decimates his opponent to show he's not lost a step or an attack on Triple H himself would do wonders for the feud. It would also give the fans a teaser of what to expect come WrestleMania.
