RAW Predictions

Hello everyone and welcome back to Talk Wrestling World. Last night the WWE presented their final pay per view of the year, TLC, tables ladders and chair (and stairs). I have already written up my review and reactions for the show and I will make sure to leave the link to that bellow so you can go and check that out if you haven't already done so. Tonight will kick start the road to Royal Rumble witch of course means the road to Wrestlemania. Superstars and divas announced to appear on tonight's show include John Cena, Nikki Bella and Roman Reigns and after their performances and returns they will all be looking to celebrate and enter some new feuds/storyline's. We also know Chris Jericho will be at the show causing some trouble as he of course is the guest host as announced last week. I will make sure to leave the link's bellow to any recent post including my TLC review and reactions post and last week's RAW Review and Reactions. As always you can let me know what you're predictions are for tonight's show by leaving a comment bellow or by tweeting me at @TezangiVictoria.

So as I mentioned last night was the TLC pay per view, the final pay per view of the year and with some interesting booking tonight is going to be pretty eventful as many superstars and divas set to head into new feuds. With have a new Intercontinental champion in Dolph Ziggler, who will be next to challenge him or will he and Harper continue to feud? Nikki Bella managed to retain her championship after a sneaky win (cheating) and with the rumours of AJ leaving the company tonight we will either see her and AJ continue their feud or see a new diva step up to the plate. But what diva will be next to challenge Nikki for her championship? We also saw the return of Roman Reigns after he cost Rollins he's match last night against John Cena? All three men will be walking into something new tonight as the build up for the Royal Rumble pay per view begins. Let's go into more detail about the possible events set to happen tonight.

Last night, not long after Cena had defeated Rollins to retain he's number one contender-ship for a shot at Brock Lesnars WWE World Heavyweight championship, the WWE began to build up Cena VS Lesnar round three as they already showed a promo promoting the match last night during the pay per view.  With Heyman at ringside during the match last night we can more than expect the two to once again collide in a battle of the verbal attacks, adding some early heat to Cena VS Lesnar. I personally predict the show will probably start with Cena hitting the mic and giving us a promo we have heard about a thousand times already, but you never know maybe they will surprise us and start the show with something actually entertaining. Do not expect the champ to actually make an appearance tonight. After all we are over a month until the Royal Rumble pay per view so verbal abuse and mind games from Heyman seem to be more so on the card.

We also saw the return of Roman Reigns last night and after winning the Slammy for Superstar of the year last week on RAW, Reigns is walking into tonight's episode beaming with confidence and momentum. As we saw also night Reigns interrupted the Cena/Rollins match up costing Seth the match. Reigns also announced himself as an official entrant for the two thousand and fifteen Royal Rumble pay per view. I think we all pretty much predict that Reigns and Rollins will be feuding throughout the next couple of months or so and I wouldn't write that off. Last night also saw a couple of injuries, one coming from the big show after he hit he's hip on a steal step. However, Show as one of the men to be superman punched by Reigns and it is possible tonight the two will go one on one to help push Reigns and let him score a quick win. Or it's possible we will see Reigns team up with Cena to face Rollins and Show. Either the WWE will be looking to put Reigns on a momentum build but I'm not ruling out Seth getting some retribution tonight.

Last week Lana tweeted a picture of the European championship before deleting it over the weekend. Rusev has a pretty easy night last night working a short match with Swagger and gaining yet another win retaining the United States championship. Tonight it will be interesting to see what they will do next with Rusev. After two failed feuds with the real American, I can't see the point in the two carry on going at it. Will we see a surprise return? With Barrett being out for so long and hints on twitter of a feud between the two, will he make a surprise return and step up to the plate and try and capture the championship for the first time and end Rusevs winning streak? Or will Darren Young make a return tonight? The superstar has been out of action for quite sometime now and a couple of months back the  superstar tweeted a picture also hinting a feud with Rusev. Does the WWE have plans on pushing an underrated talent?

We also saw a pretty barbaric ladders match between Dolph Ziggler and Luke Harper for the Intercontinental championship last night at the TLC pay per view. I think I have expressed my displeasure to towards the end of this match enough over the past twenty four hours so I won't go back into that, but after a beyond poor title reign, tonight is key for Harper and it's seriously important he get's a big push tonight and manages to gain some much needed momentum. After also suffering a loss tonight, Erick Rowan is also on the search for some momentum. Will the two former Wyatt family member's continue their previous feud's , or will they enter new feuds? they may even step in the ring with each other again.

Nikki Bella managed to retain her divas championship last night against AJ Lee after spraying AJ in the face with something in order to hit a quick win. It was announced last night AJ was suppose to have suffered with chemical  conjunctivitis and will not be appearing on tonight's episode of Monday night RAW.  The WWE seem to be doing an interesting thing at the moment with Naomi, will she be the next diva to earn a shot at the championship? Will Paige be back in the picture or at least in action tonight considering we haven't seen her compete on RAW or Smackdown in quite sometime?
The tag team championships also stayed around the waist of The Miz and Damien Mizdow last night as they managed to defeat the Usos. A new tag team will be looking to have a shot at the titles tonight in a new feud. If the WWE have strong plans for the New Day they should be put in the picture tonight however I have a feeling the Usos will remain in the picture because of current storyline's. We can also expect another promo from the Ascension tonight as we previously saw one on Smackdown. The former NXT tag team champions are set to make their main roster debut in the upcoming weeks.

Finally, Dean Ambrose and Bray Wyatt main evented last nights TLC pay per view and what an amazing match up they had. Tonight we will see if the two will carry on feuding or weather or not they will be both enter something new. Either way it will be interesting to see what will be going down for all the superstars and divas tonight as we kick start the road to Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania and 2015.
