WWE Raw Predictions (5/4/2020): AJ Styles Will Replace Apollo Crews

3.) Asuka vs. Shayna Baszler vs. Nia Jax [Triple Threat Match]

This match was originally scheduled for last week’s Raw, but it instead turned into a pure-fist brawl before the bell even rang. Henceforth, it is likely that WWE booked this brawl in order to stall this match for the go-home show this week.

Since Asuka had no chance at winning this match and Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax both had to be booked strong, it seems that Nia Jax bulldozing Asuka and Baszler with a ladder on last week’s Raw was a way to protect her before she loses the triple threat match on this week’s Raw. Evidently, she will be losing this match to Baszler.

To protect Jax in defeat, Baszler will win this triple threat match by making Asuka pass out with the Kirifuda Clutch. Since she is the betting favorite to win the Women’s MITB Ladder Match, she should win this triple threat match to maintain her dominance and get the momentum she needs en route to WWE MITB 2020.

Prediction: Shayna Baszler

2.) Drew McIntyre vs. Buddy Murphy [Grudge Match]

On last week’s Raw, Drew McIntyre exposed Seth Rollins in their WWE Championship contract signing for their upcoming championship match at WWE MITB 2020. Before McIntyre could Claymore Rollins, Buddy Murphy ran to the ring to save his leader and unfortunately became the sacrificial lamb who ate the Claymore instead.

This led the WWE to book a match between McIntyre and Rollins’ disciple, Buddy Murphy, in a match for this week’s Raw. Without a shadow of a doubt, McIntyre will simply defeat Murphy to gain momentum for his upcoming championship match with Rollins at WWE MITB 2020. Don’t be surprised if he gets Curb Stomped by Rollins after he defeats Murphy.

Prediction: Drew McIntyre
