Follow along with our live WWE Raw review. Make sure to catch the first ever Symphony of Destruction Match between Braun Strowman and Elias!

Previously on WWE Raw, Kurt Angle blathered on like a lunatic. The Miz was pushed to the brink by Angle, Seth Rollins, and Finn Balor. Brock Lesnar no-showed, and Roman Reigns let him have it – verbally, at least.

This weekRaw hits Milwaukee, the first major American city to have elected three socialist mayors (thanks, Alice Cooper!). The match most relevant to my interests? Braun Strowman takes on Elias in a Symphony of Destruction match. Hoooooo, boy. I hope Dave Mustaine is in the building to give his seal of approval. No one knows what this match entails, but I have visions of local orchestras running in fear.

The more reasonable big match of the night is an Elimination Chamber rematch. Asuka once again puts her undefeated streak on the line against Nia Jax. There’s no clear path to WrestleMania for Jax in this one like at EC, but perhaps a good showing here will convince the powers that be to give her something worthwhile.

The remainder of Raw is built on a few questions. Why didn’t Brock Lesnar confront Roman Reigns last week? Who will The Miz face at WrestleMania? And what’s next for Ronda Rousey as she looks to repay Stephanie McMahon and Triple H?

As WWE and the Monday night crew inches closer to WrestleMania, there’s a ton of stuff that could potentially go down. Cesaro and Sheamus claim to have beaten everyone – but there’s a few teams out there who can issue a challenge, right? And the “Ultimate Deletion” has been teased by both Bray Wyatt and Matt Hardty. Will the battlefield be prepared this week?
