4 Predictions for WWE Raw: April 24, 2017
By Grant Mannis
On April 24, the men and women of Monday Night Raw will converge on the Spring Center arena. Here is everything you need to know heading into this week’s episode:
Emerging victorious in a fatal-four-way last week, Alexa Bliss has become the number one contender to the Raw Women’s Championship. She will face Bayley for the title this Sunday at Payback.
After receiving a scathing promo at the hands of The Miz, Dean Ambrose decided he’d heard enough. Dropping the former Intercontinental Champion, the Lunatic Fringe displayed an aggressive side that has long remained dormant within him.
Braun Strowman continued his recent run of dominance with his latest match against the Big Show. Following a superplex from the top rope, the combined weight of both men caused the ring to collapse. Somehow Strowman recovered and stood tall to close out Raw, displaying his durability and toughness.
Two weeks ago, an injury scare courtesy of Jinder Mahal made fans wonder if Finn Balor was set to be sidelined once again. Thankfully, his quick victory over Curt Hawkins has put an end to that belief, at least for the time being.
The feud between Samoa Joe and Seth Rollins continues to develop ahead of their clash at Payback. With a win over Chris Jericho last week, the Samoan Destroyer has earned himself a great deal of momentum. How will Seth Rollins respond?
During the previous episode of Raw, Jeff Hardy defeated Cesaro in his first singles match on WWE television since 2009. Odds are, the creative team will allow Matt Hardy to face Sheamus this week to help promote the Tag Team Championship contest at Payback.
