It’s the final episode of WWE Raw before SummerSlam. With the Biggest Party of the Summer on deck, here’s our weekly predictions.
After weeks of build, we’ve finally gotten to the home stretch. WWE Raw has but one episode left before SummerSlam, so it’s time to get the last bit of drama packed into a show full of rematches from Extreme Rules!
One of the big things WWE is pushing is the dominance of Ronda Rousey. Since returning from her suspension — and even during said suspension — the Baddest Woman on the Planet has made life increasingly difficult for Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss. The Goddess has avoided most of Rousey’s wrath so far — can she continue to do so this week?
Here’s five predictions for the final episode of WWE Raw before SummerSlam.
No One Wants Coach to Come Back. Ever.
Late last week, WWE announced that Renee Young would be filling in at the commentary booth during this week’s episode of WWE Raw, while Jonathan Coachman is on assignment. It’s a historic occasion, as it’s to be the first time a woman broadcaster has spent an entire episode of Raw on commentary.
Could anyone possibly want Coach to come back after this week? It’s safe to say his performance in the booth has not been well received by most of the WWE Universe. In fact, there have been numerous occasions over the months he’s been back where it seems like Michael Cole and Corey Graves are exasperated with him.
Young has done commentary for NXT and Superstars before, and while it was self-admittedly not the greatest, it wasn’t terrible. It was also several years ago, while Young was relatively new to the company. A couple of years away from the booth, while honing her skills as a host and interviewer, can only serve to boost her confidence. Short story: My one word for this prediction is, “Goodbye.” As in, “Goodbye, Coach.”
