WWE RAW Preview: Randy Orton to prevent big title change, Unexpected direction for Goldberg's character? (January 25th, 2021)

#2. Charlotte Flair takes on Shayna Baszler on RAW

Charlotte Flair and Shayna Baszler.

Charlotte Flair takes on Shayna Baszler on RAW. While it's otherwise a pay-per-view-level match-up, the bout itself may not last long. Charlotte Flair had some success on SmackDown with Asuka against The Riott Squad, but the last two weeks of RAW have been frustrating for her.

Ric Flair turned on his own daughter to start a seemingly romantic alliance with Lacey Evans. Will Ric Flair and Lacey Evans continue to torment Charlotte Flair?

#1. Riddle has to go through a gauntlet match to get to Bobby Lashley

A herculean effort is needed for Riddle.

Gauntlet Matches have seen star-making performances in WWE in recent years, and Riddle has a similar opportunity on RAW. In what's only one step removed from a handicap bout, Riddle has to face Shelton Benjamin, Cedric Alexander, and MVP on RAW in a gauntlet match.

The prize at stake is a United States Championship opportunity against Bobby Lashley. It's either going to end in a massive beatdown for Riddle or a defining performance that leads him to a potential United States title win.
