WWE Monday Night Raw Preview: 25 May, 2015

WWE will make their last major stop before Elimination Chamber on Monday. Even though they had limited time to build up the pay-per-view, the creative team has done a great job so far and they could either make it or break it with the latest edition of Monday night Raw.

Despite the strong lineup of matches they have right now for the chamber, there is still a lot of work to be done. Having Money in the Bank just two weeks after the Elimination Chamber will also be a major headache while booking the show and here is a look at the possible angles that WWE could come up with in the latest edition of Monday Night Raw.

Paige back in the mix

Paige made her return last week

Paige return was one of the highlights of last week. The Brit came right back into the Divas Championship scenario with her return and has got herself a title shot at Elimination Chamber. From what we saw last week, the break apparently took some momentum away from Paige and she will be looking to build it up this week.

One another thing that WWE should clear is the alignments. They are currently treating the Bellas as baby faces and Paige was showing some shades of being a heel last time around. All these mess needs to be sorted out this week on Raw it they are really going to come up with a great match at Chamber.

Lana and Ziggler raising the temperature

Lana and Ziggler will raise the temperature this week

Lana and Dolph Ziggler were seen raising the mercury last week when they kissed twice in the WWE ring. The pairing of the duo has really attracted a lot of interest and the way in which WWE pushes this forward will decide the faith of both the superstars.

Ziggler is currently booked for the Intercontinental Championship match at Elimination Chamber alongside Rusev and this factor has a lot of potential in it. We might get to see a match between Ziggler and Rusev this week and if it happens, then Lana will have a big stage to make her intentions clear. Either way, Ziggler and Lana could raise the temperature pretty high this Monday.

Cena’s Open Challenge

The Open invitation has been excellent so far

John Cena’s United States championship open invitational that happened last week broke the internet. Kevin Owens answering the call and simply getting one over the Cenation leader was a big angle indeed and these two now have a date for Elimination Chamber.

Despite a major match happening on Sunday, Cena is likely to be out there on Raw with his Open challenge.

WWE will be presented with yet another opportunity to put over a young superstar at the expense of John Cena. Someone like Adam Rose would be a great choice as he is having a lot of support from the fans thanks to the E60 ESPN documentary that came in a few weeks back.

Storylines for Roman Reigns and Randy Orton

Roman Reigns needs to be on the Chamber Matchcard

Early five days away from Elimination Chamber, WWE have not storylines for Randy Orton and Roman Reigns. Both the superstars were in the headline of Payback recently and were title contenders as well. Not having them on the Elimination Chamber card will expose WWE’s weakness in planning and they should come up with something this week.

The best possibilities for these two superstars are Kane and Big Show even though it doesn’t sound mighty impressive. Show is expected to make his return anytime soon now and WWE will have to keep Kane away from the Dean Ambrose – Seth Rollins bout, making the tag team match a good choice.

Revenge of the Lunatic

He does have a differently wired head

WWE is going with the Dean Ambrose – Seth Rollins feud once again as it seems. The former Shield members have enough chemistry in them to fight for the rest of the century and are almost sure to steal the show at Elimination Chamber. Last week, Seth got the upper hand on Dean thanks to his stooges in the Authority and knowing the Lunatic Fringe, he will not sit quietly this week.

Dean will come all guns blazing this week on Raw and will be seeking his revenge against the Authority. The way he chooses to do so is the interesting part in all these as he clearly has a differently wired head from which a lot of insane ideas can poke up.
