WWE Raw Results: Highlights, Analysis, and Grades for January 9

The Royal Rumble is steadily approaching, and that means that the Road to WrestleMania is almost upon us. Here is everything you need to know heading into tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW.

Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker will be making appearances on tonight’s episode of RAW. This will be the first time we’ve seen Undertaker since he returned on SmackDown Live before Survivor Series. As for Shawn Michaels, he’ll be making his first appearance since WrestleMania 32.

Fresh off a victory against Cesaro, Karl Anderson managed to put both himself and Luke Gallows in contention for the tag team titles. Seeing as how neither Sheamus or Gallows competed during the previous episode, expect to see them face-off this week.

Emerging victorious against the monstrous Nia Jax last week, Bayley is now the number one contender for the RAW Women’s Championship. She owes that victory in part to Sasha Banks, who distracted Jax and cost her a chance at the title. Both Bayley versus Charlotte and Banks versus Jax will be expanded upon tonight.

Following his decimation of Sami Zayn, Braun Strowman has positioned himself as the greatest powerhouse on the RAW roster. He’ll be looking for retribution against Roman Reigns, who left him down and out last Monday.

Roman Reigns will once again be defending his United States Championship, this time in a handicap match against Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens. Although the deck is once again stacked against Reigns, don’t be surprised to see him retain yet again.
