WWE Raw Predictions: Drew McIntyre Will Decimate The Entire Locker Room

4.) Braun Strowman vs. Jaxson Ryker (w/Elias) [Grudge Match]
On last weeks WWE Raw, Braun Strowman defeated Elias via pinfall with the Running Powerslam and will very likely do the same to Jaxson Ryker on this week’s episode as payback for the songs that they had sung about his supposed lack of intelligence. Clearly, Braun Strowman is just regaining his momentum before he defeats Shane McMahon at WrestleMania. Hopefully, those piped in train noises in the background do not happen ever again during the Strowman Stampede.
On Raw Talk, Braun passionately talked about how being called ‘stupid’ really hits home because of his reading disability growing up. If Braun does not defeat the condescending, privileged Shane McMahon at ‘Mania to represent the fans who experienced the same growing up, the WWE would evidently be tone deaf. Braun and Shane will likely raise the stakes for their match by making it a Falls Count Anywhere Match. That way, Shane can jump off the pirate ship at ‘Mania.
Prediction: Braun Strowman
3.) Shayna Baszler & Nia Jax (w/Reginald) vs. Naomi & Lana [Non-Title Tag Match]
On last week’s WWE Raw, Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax defeated Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke via pinfall with the Samoan Drop while Naomi and Lana were watching on commentary. Naomi and Lana want their rematch for the Women’s Tag Team Titles since Reginald unfairly distracted them in their first title match against Baszler and Jax. Naomi and Lana will earn their title match by defying Reginald’s distractions this time and defeating the champs in non-title action.
Naomi and Lana have a high chance of being the ones to dethrone Baszler and Jax at WrestleMania 37. Lana has had the most history with Baszler and Jax on WWE Raw mostly due to the plenitude of table spots that she sustained at the hands of Jax. She was bullied by Jax for the past few months and winning the tag titles with Naomi would be the babyface comeuppance she needs to finish the story. If not, WWE’s bullying campaign might need a rain check.
Prediction: Naomi & Lana
