4 Predictions for WWE Raw: May 21, 2017
By Grant Mannis
This week, the men and women of Monday Night Raw converge on the Van Andel arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Here is everything you need to know heading into tonight’s episode:
At the end of last week’s episode of Monday Night Raw, Bray Wyatt stood tall when he delivered Sister Abigails to Samoa Joe and Seth Rollins. Can the Eater of Worlds continue to gain momentum as Extreme Rules approaches?
Despite the injuries currently plaguing him, Roman Reigns was able to defeat Finn Balor in a highly competitive contest. With this win, the Big Dog has established himself as a prime candidate to win the number one contender’s match.
By attacking Bayley with a Singapore cane, Alexa Bliss has shown that she has no problem going to the extreme. However, don’t count out the former Raw Women’s Champion just yet.
Moments before they were set to compete on Raw, Goldust chose to assault his teammate R-Truth. Leaving his partner down and out inside the ring, the former Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion showcased a darker side to his character. How will Truth respond to this unwarranted betrayal?
One of the most surprising moments last week came about when Alicia Fox defeated Sasha Banks. The win was a shock to many, but this will only serve to bolster Banks’ attempts at overcoming her rival.
Although The Miz won his Intercontinental Championship match, the fact that it ended due to a disqualification means he didn’t leave with the title. Because of this, General Manager Kurt Angle booked a match between Miz and Dean Ambrose at Extreme Rules. Unfortunately for the Lunatic Fringe, if he’s disqualified in the rematch, the title will be awarded to Miz.
