#7 Isla Dawn vs Kay Lee Ray

Isla Dawn will have her first match in a while.

Isla Dawn and Kay Lee Ray both have the potential to be huge stars in the NXT UK women's division. Isla Dawn has not been seen since losing to Jinny but before that, she defeated the likes of Killer Kelly, Nina Samuels, and Xia Brookside.

She even challenged Rhea Ripley for the NXT UK Women's Championship (in the first-ever title defense of the NXT UK Women's Championship) in a losing effort and put up a spirited effort against Toni Storm in the tournament to crown the inaugural NXT UK Women's Champion.

Kay Lee Ray only recently made her long-awaited debut against Candy Floss and was able to easily score a victory. The two had an altercation last week on NXT UK when Isla Dawn was interviewed over the debut of Piper Niven and will face off this week on NXT UK.

#6 Joe Coffey vs Trent Seven (NXT UK)

This will be the main event of NXT UK.

All three members of British Strong Style have had issues with the dangerous trio known as Gallus in the past. There has been a rivalry between the six individuals of this trio ever since the beginning of NXT UK.

The two teams faced off in a six-man tag team match in the main event of an episode of NXT UK in which Gallus scored the victory. Joe Coffey also challenged Pete Dunne in the first ever NXT UK special NXT UK Takeover: Blackpool in a match where Pete Dunne would retain.

This rivalry will now be rekindled when Trent Seven faces Joe Coffey in the main event of NXT UK. Both individuals had some words for each other and will be hoping to get some momentum as both singles stars and tag team wrestlers.

#5 Bianca Belair vs Kairi Sane (NXT)

Both Bianca Belair and Kairi Sane have lost to Shayna Baszler in the past.

At NXT Takeover: New York, Shayna Baszler will have her toughest test yet when she defends the NXT Women's Championship in a fatal four-way match against Bianca Belair, Io Shirai, and Kairi Sane.

Before that match, Bianca Belair will face off with Kairi Sane in a rematch from their last match during the second round of the inaugural Mae Young Classic (highlights of this match can be viewed here) back in 2017. Bianca Belair feels that Kairi Sane has not done anything to earn this opportunity and will likely take out these frustrations against Kairi Sane in their match right before NXT Takeover: New York.

Belair has become a different competitor since she first started off during the 2017 Mae Young Classic and will likely be a tough test for Kairi Sane.

#4 Akira Tozawa (with The Brian Kendrick) vs Mike Kanellis (with Maria Kanellis) (205 Live)

Akira Tozawa and Mike Kanellis have been involved in a rivalry.

Mike Kanellis had been going through a losing streak as he lost to several superstars including Kalisto, the Brian Kendrick, and Cedric Alexander. However, that losing streak would end when he faced off with Akira Tozawa a few weeks ago on 205 Live.

Maria Kanellis would interfere in the match and that would cause Mike Kanellis to get the victory. Akira Tozawa will have the chance to get revenge when he faces off with Mike Kanellis once again this week on 205 Live.

However, this time the Brian Kendrick will be at ringside to counteract any potential interference from Maria Kanellis. There is certainly no love lost between The Brian Kendrick and Mike Kanellis. This match will now be able to end in a clean fashion.

#3 The Boss and Hug Connection & the Divas of Doom vs Nia and Tamina & the IIconics (Raw)

These four women are four of the main tag teams in the women's tag team division.

The Boss and Hug Connection will defend the Women's Tag Team Championships against the Divas of Doom, Nia Jax and Tamina, and the IIconics in a Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Match and it will be the first time that these titles will ever be defended at WrestleMania.

Before that, Beth Phoenix will have her first match on Monday Night Raw in years when she teams up with Natalya and the Boss and Hug Connection against Nia Jax & Tamina and the IIconics.

This will also be the Monday Night Raw debut of the IIconics who have been a part of SmackDown Live since being called up to the main roster. The winners of this match will obviously get a lot of momentum heading into WrestleMania in this historic matchup.

#2 Kurt Angle vs Rey Mysterio (Raw)

Kurt Angle and Rey Mysterio have had many matches with each other.

Kurt Angle will have one last match on Monday Night Raw before he has his final match in WWE at WrestleMania 35. Since starting his retirement tour, he has faced off with the likes of Apollo Crews, Chad Gable, Samoa Joe, and AJ Styles.

He will now face off with the number one contender for the United States Championship in Rey Mysterio, in his last match on Monday Night Raw. Kurt Angle barely made it past Rey Mysterio's rival Samoa Joe last week on Monday Night Raw and will now hope to have similar success against Rey Mysterio.

Rey Mysterio defeated Kurt Angle and Randy Orton to become a world champion several years ago at WrestleMania so there is a lot of history between these two superstars and this is a fitting final match for Kurt Angle on Raw.

#1 Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey vs The Riott Squad (Raw)

The Riott Squad will hope to gain their biggest victory as a unit.

Last week on Monday Night Raw, Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair, and Ronda Rousey faced off with members of the Riott Squad in a Beat the Clock Challenge. Ronda Rousey beat Sarah Logan to set the time, Charlotte Flair failed to beat Ruby Riott in the time limit, and Becky Lynch beat Liv Morgan with seconds to spare. These three superstars will now have to work together when they team up against the Riott Squad.

The Riott Squad is a dangerous trio and will take advantage of any tension between the trio who have to manage to coexist only a few days before they face off with each other in the main event of WrestleMania 35 (the first ever female main event of WrestleMania 35) for the Raw Women's Championship.
