WWE Raw Results, Highlights, And Grades For January 14, 2019

On tonight’s episode of WWE Raw, Seth Rollins will have another opportunity at Dean Ambrose’s Intercontinental Championship, but can he defeat “The Moral Compass” and Bobby Lashley?

Last week on WWE Raw, Sasha Banks defeated Nia Jax after hitting her with a, “Bitch, what line?”, to earn an opportunity at the Raw Women’s Championship. Banks and Ronda Rousey will square off for that championship at the Royal Rumble Pay Per View on Jan. 27 in Phoenix, Arizona, and this bout could end up being one of the best of 2019 when it’s all said and done.

But before that, Banks and Rousey must work together to be the scary tag team of Tamina and Nia, who have done everything possible to rule the Raw Women’s Division. Along with the Boss’N’Hug Connection, comprised of Sasha and Bayley, Nia and Tamina are seen as one of the favorites to grab the Women’s Tag Team Championships whenever they are officially rolled out.

Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose fought to a disqualification in last week’s Raw main event, which was a heated Falls Count Anywhere match for the Intercontinental Championship, which Ambrose won at TLC from Seth.

These two bitter rivals won’t be alone in this rematch, because Bobby Lashley has an opportunity at the title after spoiling the Falls Count Anywhere bout last week. With Lio Rush an ever-present danger to Rollins, this Triple Threat match will be treacherous territory for “The Architect”. But now that Triple H has brought the best out of his former protege, perhaps none of that noise will matter to the potential Royal Rumble winner.

Braun Strowman disappointed the WWE Universe last week with a poor promo on Brock Lesnar, as he seemed to have forgotten his lines and came off rather unconvincing for a monster. Just about a year ago, Strowman was one of WWE’s most popular acts and received thunderous ovations during hot tags, but, now, he seems to be on the periphery.

Even though Strowman has a Universal Title match at the Rumble against Lesnar, many fans believe Rollins will be the one to conquer The Beast Incarnate. Rollins is viewed as a favorite to win the Rumble match and eventually defeat Lesnar at WrestleMania 35, but Braun may have something to say about that. Each week, Braun’s involvement on Raw will be worth monitoring.
