WWE Raw Preview: WrestleMania, Ladders and Randy Orton

Handling the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Feud

Brock Lesnar controlled the WWE and UFC headlines for most of last week. From walking out of Monday Night Raw, to showing up at UFC 184 on Saturday, the situation doesn’t appear to look good for WWE.

With this in mind, WWE remains extremely confident that Lesnar will still be at WrestleMania 31 because he is “contractually obligated.” How much Lesnar cares about those two words will be something to watch throughout this month. His next WWE appearance is set for March 9’s Monday Night Raw.

With Lesnar not scheduled to be around tonight, expect more banter between Roman Reigns and Paul Heyman. It’s probably going to be a lot of what you heard last week, but that’s the most they can do without Lesnar around for physical altercation.

If Heyman doesn’t show up on Raw, expect Reigns to have a match where he will reign supreme. There’s no reason to make him look bad if Lesnar or Heyman isn’t around, so why not build him up if he’s going to be the “next big thing” in WWE?

What are you looking forward to on tonight’s Monday Night Raw?
