WWE Raw 5 Predictions: The Real Competition Commences
By Mark Justice
There will be many enthralling segments and matches on tonight’s episode of WWE Raw. As the WWE fans follow all the storylines closely on the road to Clash of Champions, they must not lose sight of the “real competition” in the upcoming King of the Ring Tournament.
On this week’s episode of WWE Raw, there are two scheduled grudge matches in the King of the Ring Tournament: (1) Samoa Joe vs. Cesaro, (2) Cedric Alexander vs. Sami Zayn.
As Triple H asserted, becoming the King of the Ring can be a complete career changing moment that shall send that superstar on a star-studded trajectory to being a top player in the WWE for an indefinite period of time.
The question remains: Who will be that superstar?
Meanwhile, AJ Styles announced that he will be defending his United States Championship against Braun Strowman.
In terms of the women’s division, Sasha Banks returned to WWE television with a shocking heel turn last week and is bound to be in a match this week, which should assist her in proving why she deserves to be the next #1 contender for Becky Lynch’s Raw Women’s Championship.
With that being said, let’s make five key predictions about what could happen on tonight’s WWE Raw.
5. Sasha Banks Defeats Natalya
When Sasha Banks returned to WWE Raw last week, Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch was not the only superstar she attacked.
Banks also attacked Natalya, and this attack could very well lead to a match between them on tonight’s episode of Raw since Banks should be busy with Lynch at the upcoming PPV, Clash of Champions.
If this match were to occur, Banks should simply defeat Natalya to solidify her heel turn, and look strong for her future title match with Lynch.
