Things kicked off in huge fashion last week on Raw as Triple H and Shawn Michaels re-formed one of the most chaotic factions in the WWE, D Generation-X. Not to mention, they challenged The Brothers of Destruction to face them at Crown Jewel.
The night ended in suspense as Dean Ambrose walked away from his Shield brothers after he got pinned by Drew McIntyre, which resulted in The Shield’s defeat after they were victorious at WWE Super Show-Down.
Speaking of defeats, Baron Corbin was one of the men who got defeated in the over the top rope match last week, thanks to the Raw General Manager Kurt Angle. His regime as the acting general manager hasn’t yielded fruits for him as he would have imagined.
Keeping in mind all these combustible elements, a lot is expected to happen this week on Raw. Here are the complete predictions for the upcoming show.
#1 The Brothers of Destruction will accept the challenge
The Brothers of Destruction are expected to kick-off the show this week on Raw, much similar to what their opponents did last week. Furthermore, they will be accepting the challenge to seek some revenge for The Undertaker’s defeat in Melbourne, Australia.
The rivalry between these four men is far from over, and the brothers would vow to decimate and bury both Shawn Michaels and Triple H at their next clash. There were more than half a dozen nostalgic moments at the “Last Time Ever” match, and this rivalry will surely treat fans to some more.
The match in Australia was stipulated to be a No-Disqualification match by Triple H moments before the match started. Hence, it is quite possible that the brothers would be willing to add another stipulation to this match. What kind of match would you like to see? Let your voice be heard in the comments below.
#2 Ronda Rousey vows to break Nikki’s arm
Last week, The Bella Twins attacked Ronda Rousey from behind after three of them won their rematch from Super Show-Down against The Riott Squad. This has resulted in a match between the reigning champion, and Nikki Bella at Evolution for the Women’s Championship.
There is no doubt that the champion would be furious about what transpired last week. It is expected that she will let the world know how she feels about it, and will vow to break her opponent’s arm via her deadly Armbar.
The Bellas might be looking to attack the champion again, but help won’t be far for Ronda this time in the form of her friend, Natalya.
#3 Corbin tries to find a spot in the World Cup match
Baron Corbin tried to figure out a way to put himself into the World Cup match at Crown Jewel by putting together a Battle Royal match with rookies. However, things went downhill when the Raw General Manager disguised himself as the masked conquistador, and sent Corbin flying over the top rope.
The acting man-in-charge would be looking at other options to put himself in the World Cup again. It will be interesting to see which path he tries to pursue this time.
Considering the friction between these two men, it seems only a matter of time before they have a go at each other.
#4 Who will get added to the World Cup match?
There was a double-turn last week on Raw as Bobby Lashley attacked Kevin Owens after their match. He targeted his leg, and it appears that The Prizefighter will be out of action for a couple of weeks at least. This has put Lashley on the list of top heels on the WWE roster at the moment.
Considering the wrath The Dominator unleashed last week, it seems logical that he would be getting a spot in the World Cup match.
However, similar to last week, there would be a qualifying match for the spot. Whom do you think he should face in the qualification match? Right now, Finn Balor or Bobby Roode appear to be the top two names on that list.
#5 The uncertainty continues about Dean Ambrose
There has been a couple of incidents now with Dean Ambrose leaving Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins in the ring and walking away. This has led everyone, including those two men, guessing about Dean’s mindset.
It appears that WWE would continue this suspense for a little longer, which means The Lunatic Fringe won’t be certain where he belongs this week as well.
It will be interesting to see if he gets a one on one match against Drew McIntyre this week. Notably, he was the one who pinned Ambrose last week, and the defeated man would be looking to settle the score.
