Preview
How will Lashley Respond to Lesnar?: Last week, Brock Lesnar insulted Lashley by calling him Lesnar wanna be. Lashley was clearly enraged and beat up Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin when they attacked him. How will he respond to Lesnar this week on RAW?
Becky Lynch Address Doudrop: Doudrop became the new #1 contender for WWE RAW Women’s title. Becky tried to attack her just after the match, but it proved futile as Doudrop proved too big for her. Becky will cut a promo on her this week.
Who will Join Royal Rumble Match?– Until now, only 14 names are announced for the men’s Royal Rumble match. We can expect a few more names to be announced in this episode.
What’s Next for RK-Bro?- Randy Orton and Riddle lost the RAW Tag Team Championship to Alpha Academy last week. There are clear signs that Randy Orton is not happy with Riddle’s behavior ever since the start of their partnership. Will this be the start of a feud between them?
Is Miz Telling Lies?: As the rivalry of IT Pair vs Grit Pair continued, Miz claimed last week that Maryse would beat up Beth Pheonix. However, Maryse bailed on him from behind and left the venue after that. Does Miz have something to back up his claims?
Vince stills feels burned by putting the inaugural universal championship on a “vanilla midget” and having said midget get hurt the same night. He’s just petty like that. Balor deserves better, wish he has another new Japan run, but the dubya pays too well.
