WWE Raw Predictions: Bray Wyatt Will Magically Replace Randy Orton

On this week’s go-home episode of WWE Raw, there are neither scheduled segments nor scheduled matches. The WWE has already kickstarted its road to WrestleMania 37 as it builds towards Elimination Chamber. As many WWE fans already know, Elimination Chamber is the pivotal roadblock to Mania that could change who the champions are and what the potential matchups could be at “The Showcase of the Immortals”.

On last week’s WWE Raw, the WWE officially announced three title matches for this year’s Elimination Chamber PPV: Drew McIntyre (c) vs. Sheamus vs. Randy Orton vs. AJ Styles vs. Mr. MITB The Miz vs. Jeff Hardy for the WWE Championship inside the Elimination Chamber, Asuka (c) vs. Lacey Evans for the Raw Women’s Championship, and Bobby Lashley (c) vs. Keith Lee vs. Riddle for the United States Championship.

Meanwhile, in the women’s tag division, Naomi and Lana became the number one contenders for the Women’s Tag Team Titles and will either battle Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax on this episode of Raw or at the Elimination Chamber PPV. With that being said, it’s now time to preview and predict the matches and segments that will occur on this week’s episode of WWE Raw, starting with the ongoing rivalry between Mustafa Ali and Kofi Kingston.

WWE Raw is scheduled to take place on February 15, 2021, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT live on the USA Network. Here are some predictions for this week’s show.

5.) Mustafa Ali vs. Kofi Kingston [Grudge Match]

Ironically, Mustafa Ali and Kofi Kingston’s rivalry actually revolves around Elimination Chamber despite neither being in this year’s match. Back in 2019, Ali was injured and Kingston replaced him in the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match. Kingston’s performance in that match led to his WWE Championship victory at WrestleMania 35. Due to this chain of events, Ali has harbored a grudge against Kingston since that day and will very likely win this match to get his revenge.

However, the rivalry shouldn’t end there. It is already criminal that a former WWE Champion in Kingston is not in the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match this year. In order to salvage this misstep, the WWE should book The New Day to battle RETRIBUTION in a tornado tag team match inside the Elimination Chamber this Sunday. This multifaceted story deserves the spotlight on PPV, and that match could fully tell the story between Ali and Kingston.

Prediction: Mustafa Ali
