WWE Raw Predictions: Rhea Ripley Will Make Charlotte Her Nightmare
By Mark Justice
4.) Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax (c) vs. Mandy Rose & Dana Brooke [Women’s Tag Team Championship]
On last week’s WWE Raw, Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke defeated Naomi and Lana, staking their claim for Women’s Tag Team Title contention. Assuming Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax retain their Women’s Tag Team Championships against Sasha Banks and Bianca Belair at FastLane, Rose and Brooke would be next in line for the belts. Rose and Brooke were ‘injured’ by Baszler and Jax in November and were taken out of the Women’s Survivor Series match at the last minute.
Team Raw ended up winning that Survivor Series match without Rose and Brooke. However, ever since that day, Rose and Brooke never got their revenge for what Jax and Baszler did to them. The storyline is there for Rose and Brooke to capitalize on their title opportunities. However, Baszler and Jax have already established themselves as the most dominant tag team in the Women’s Tag Division and it would make no sense to book the end of their reign three weeks before Mania.
Prediction: Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax
3.) Riddle (c) vs. Sheamus [United States Championship Open Challenge]
On last week’s WWE Raw, Riddle retained the United States Championship against Mustafa Ali. Assuming Riddle retains the championship against Mustafa Ali again and Sheamus loses to Drew McIntyre in their No Holds Barred Match at FastLane, Sheamus will need a consolation prize for that loss. A great consolation prize would be Riddle’s United States Title. Sheamus can answer an open challenge, deliver a BROgue Kick, and become a three-time United States Champion.
Sheamus has been performing in some killer matches on WWE Raw lately. He would be perfect for the United States Championship right now. Not only would Sheamus regain his momentum from his key losses in the main event scene but he can also elevate the younger stars on the roster who are trying to make a name for themselves on their way to the main event scene, such as Keith Lee, Damian Priest, Ricochet, etc. The mid card needs to call 1-800-Fella as soon as possible.
Prediction: Sheamus
