4 Predictions for WWE Raw: Royal Rumble Fallout

Raw, WWE.com

With WWE Royal Rumble 2017 in the books, what kind of fallout can we expect to see on Monday’s Raw?

Last night’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view helped shape the landscape of WWE as we head toward WrestleMania 33. Randy Orton won the Rumble for the second time and earned a spot in one of the Mania main events to challenge for the WWE Championship. But that result adds another question mark to the already uncertain title pictures on Raw.

Kevin Owens retained his Universal Championship and now doesn’t have an easily identifiable challenger for WrestleMania. Reigns figures to go to the back of the line and Chris Jericho is occupied with the United States Championship.

Bayley figures to remain in the Women’s title picture, but the question is how. She lost to Charlotte clean as a whistle last night.

Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson finally captured the tag team titles, but will their feud with Sheamus and Cesaro really extend all the way until WrestleMania? Probably not. Which tag team will step up to challenge them?

Neville finds himself in a similar situation with the newly captured Cruiserweight Championship. He’ll have a rematch with Rich Swann, but Swann doesn’t figure to win the title back. Who challenges him after that?

We may get our answers to some of these questions on Monday. Here are our predictions for the post-Royal Rumble edition of WWE Raw.
