WWE Raw Predictions: Brock Lesnar Will Replace Drew McIntyre
By Mark Justice
Johnny Gargano vs. Giovanni Vinci [Grudge Match]
Johnny Gargano will defeat Giovanni Vinci because he will avenge Vinci for costing him his match against Ludwig Kaiser last week. Kaiser had no business defeating Gargano last week, but WWE has been building him up as a credible singles star with promo packages, despite being a mere lackey in Imperium. Also, the victory was tainted regardless due to the nefarious means utilized during the match, so Gargano was still protected in defeat. Hopefully, Ciampa will be at ringside to level the playing field and assure Gargano does not lose again due to tomfoolery from Imperium.
Prediction: Johnny Gargano
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Indi Hartwell [NXT Women’s Championship]
Becky Lynch will defeat Indi Hartwell to retain the NXT Women’s Championship. This title match actually makes sense since Indi Hartwell never lost the NXT Women’s Title after relinquishing it due to injury. Now, she can finally get her rematch after teasing a future title match with Lynch in backstage segments for weeks. After Lynch takes down Indi Hartwell, she does have Xia Li and Lyra Valkyria on her radar but Candice LeRae won’t be too far away, as she is an NXT OG, who will likely want to challenge for that title and avenge Lynch for defeating her tag partner, Indi Hartwell.
Prediction: Becky Lynch
