Drew McIntyre will be on the Miz TV once again. Jey Uso takes on Damian Priest. Nia Jax takes on Shayna Baszler. Xavier Woods faces Ivar in another singles match. Read below for the complete preview and card.
Jey Uso vs Damian Priest
The rivalry between Jey Uso and Judgment Day will continue this week as Jey Uso faces Damian Priest in a singles match. Jey rejected the stable’s approach to join them, leading to a vicious assault two weeks back. Last week, Jey tried to help Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn against the group. He also got another endorsement from Cody Rhodes, but that was not enough to win over the likes of Drew McIntyre and Kevin Owens. Jey will not try to prove himself once again as he takes on Priest.
Drew McIntyre on Miz TV Again
Drew McIntyre was on the Miz TV last week to explain why he did not help Jey Uso against a beatdown from Judgment Day. That segment led to a match against New Day’s Kofi Kingston. After his win, New Day was attacked by Ivar of the Viking Raiders and McIntyre once again did not help them. So, McIntyre will be back on Miz TV this week. Will Miz ask him again about him walking out with an ongoing beatdown?
Xavier Woods vs Ivar
The Viking Raiders vs New Day rivalry will continue this week with a match between Ivar and Xavier Woods. With Erik injured, Ivar and Valhalla have continued the storyline with a vicious attack on Woods last week while Kofi Kingston was facing Drew McIntyre. Kofi was also not spared and was attacked after the match. Will Woods get one over Ivar with a singles win?
Gunther & Tomasso Ciampa Contract Signing
Gunther and Tomasso Ciampa are scheduled for a contract signing segment for their match with Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship on the line. Ciampa has beaten other Imperium members – Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser – in last two weeks. He is not expected to face Gunther at Fastlane. Will this contract-signing segment bring some twists with it?
Shayna Baszler vs Nia Jax
Nia Jax has targeted many women on RAW since her return three weeks back. She has already defeated Zoey Stark in a singles match last week. Now, she has another target in front of her in form of her former tag team partner Shayna Baszler. Will the result be the same or will Baszler put up a better performance in front of her?
NXT Women’s Championship
Becky Lynch was successful in retaining NXT Women’s Championship at No Mercy agianst Tiffany Stratton. Tegan Nox was already there in the front row waiting for the winner. Nox will now challenge Becky for the title match on RAW this week. However, the match is now under doubt with Becky suffering a laceration on his arm and needed 11 stitches. Will the match take place? And if does, will Becky be 100% in the match?
