WWE Raw 5 Burning Questions: Will Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott win titles?
2. Will Nia Jax enter the title match?
Nia Jax and Asuka fought to a double count-out at Backlash, and now the latter is set to defend her WWE Raw Women’s Championship against Sasha Banks at Extreme Rules. Banks, who is currently one-half of the Women’s Tag Team Champions with best friend and SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley, is a surprise opponent. But she’s also an excellent one.
That said, Nia is currently the top heel on Monday nights, and she didn’t have a conclusive match finish against The Empress at the last Pay Per View. She wrote 12-time world champion Charlotte Flair off television, which tells you all you need to know about her ambitions. Like most people, I’d rather see Sasha vs. Asuka one-on-one, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Jax finds a way to make it a Triple Threat.
3. How far will MVP go to make Apollo Crews miserable?
MVP tried to recruit Apollo Crews to his management firm – or whatever he’s calling it – on this week’s episode of WWE Raw, but Crews refused. The wrestling legend then tried to give Shelton Benjamin an early advantage in his match against Apollo. but the United States Champion defeated him rather easily.
Clearly, MVP has it out for Apollo, and he’s a vengeful man who does not take no for an answer. Crews gave a definitive statement, with both his words and actions in the win, that he is not going to align himself with anyone, least of all MVP. So MVP will probably send Bobby Lashley out for him out of spite. Look for Lashley to aim for the other men’s singles title on Raw at the Extreme Rules PPV.
