4 Predictions for WWE Raw: May 8, 2017
By Grant Mannis
On May 8, the men and women of Monday Night Raw converge on the O2 Arena in London. Here is everything you need to know heading into the episode:
Last week, the main event of Raw was one of the most entertaining matches the Flagship Show has delivered in some time. Two different men interfered in the contest, with the first being Samoa Joe. He arrived on the scene to cost his current rival, Seth Rollins, the match.
The second man to interfere was Bray Wyatt. Emerging from the darkness, he tossed Finn Balor off the top rope and delivered a deadly Sister Abigail. This allowed The Miz to score the upset victory.
Speaking of The Miz, his win caused him to be crowned the new number one contender to the Intercontinental Championship. Currently, the title is being held by Dean Ambrose. No date has been set for the match, but odds are it will occur in the very near future.
Apollo Crews continues to gain momentum following his involvement with Titus O’Neil. Will the newfound pairing lead to title opportunities for the former NXT superstar?
As the new Raw Women’s Champion, Alexa Bliss chose to address the entire division during the last episode. Confident as ever, the champion gloated about her win, taking every chance she could to humiliate the former champion; Bayley. An eight-woman tag team match took place later in the night, with Bliss pinning her recent rival to score the victory.
Tonight, a tag team turmoil match will take place to determine the number one contenders to the Raw Tag Team Championship. The winning team will go on to face the Hardy Boyz for the gold.
