WWE Raw Predictions: Ronda Rousey returns to challenge Becky Lynch
By Mark Justice
WWE Raw is set to take place on April 20, 2020 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT live on the USA Network with no audience in attendance. The following will preview and predict the major matches and segments that will occur on the longest weekly running episodic television show in history.
On this week’s episode of WWE Raw, there are three officially scheduled MITB qualifying matches: (1) Aleister Black vs. Austin Theory, (2) Rey Mysterio vs. Buddy Murphy, and (3) Apollo Crews vs. MVP. As of this writing, there are no officially scheduled segments.
Also, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch will very likely be present for this episode of Raw.
Their championship matches for WWE MITB 2020 could also be potentially set up, featuring Drew McIntyre’s potential WWE Championship match with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch’s potential Raw Women’s Championship match with a superstar who is not in the Women’s MITB Ladder Match.
With that being said, it’s now time to preview and predict this week’s WWE Raw. To start things off, let’s predict what the Viking Raiders will do next after defeating the tandem of Ricochet and Cedric Alexander on last week’s Raw.
5.) Viking Raiders Challenge Street Profits for the Raw Tag Team Championships at WWE MITB 2020
On last week’s Raw, Bianca Belair commanded the Street Profits to defend their Raw Tag Team Championships against the Viking Raiders next since they have never defeated the Viking Raiders on the main roster. This is true since Viking Raiders retained the Raw Tag Team Championships against the Street Profits on the Dec. 9 episode of Monday Night Raw.
Despite Sarah Logan being released from the WWE, it seems that Viking Raiders are still slated to battle Street Profits for the Raw Tag Team Championships at WWE MITB 2020. Since this is a babyface vs. babyface rivalry, it is a main roster dogma to turn one of the contestants heel.
Viking Raiders would be ideal team to turn heel since their babyface run has gone stale lately. In order to be considerable threats in the Raw Tag Team Division once again, a heel turn could be in store for them as they seek their second tag team championship reign on the main roster.
