RAW Predictions
 |
| The brothers of destruction reunited this past weekend |
Tonight, Monday night RAW will be hosted in Dallas as we hit the final stop before Sunday's Hell in a Cell pay per view. Tonight, we can expect the Go to Hell tour to continue as both Brock Lesnar and the Undertaker are set to make an appearance alongside Hall of famers and Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels. All the excitement will then continue on after RAW goes off air as the beast sits down with Stone Cole Steve Austin for a very special episode of Stone Cold Podcast on the WWE Network; so make sure you tune in straight after to see what hard hitting questions Lesnar will be faced with just six days before one of the most important matches of he's career.
The biggest story set to dominate tonight's Monday night RAW is of course the final showdown between The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar. The whole world knows that this up and coming Sunday at Hell in a Cell the two superstars will do battle one last time to decide who really is immortal in the world of pro wrestling. The build up has been strong and the WWE have been pushing this match as one for the ages. The score currently sits at one all but this weekend that will all be changing and there will be a brand new page in the history books. As already announced by WWE, both Lesnar and Taker are booked for tonight's show so we know for a fact we are in for something pretty special. We have seen over the past year that whenever these two talents are in the same building it is almost impossible for them to keep their hands off of each other and peace is a word that does not come to mind. Keeping the pair of them separate will be a task for both security and for the locker room as the final clash before Hell in a Cell is bound to be explosive. Now, I could be completely wrong and the WWE may not allow Taker and Lesnar to tear each other apart six days away before one of the biggest matches of the year, but what is guaranteed is the final big push will be just that. Because Brock is scheduled to be apart of the Stone Cold Podcast we can expect Heyman to make an appearance tonight and promote that alongside their match on Sunday, getting under the skin of the Undertaker one last time doing what he does best and adding fuel to the fire. Lesnar himself will have a lot to see during the podcast tonight regardless of what happens on air tonight on RAW. As for the Undertaker, it's possible he could open or close the show with a promo. We haven't heard that much from the phenom and with Lesnar beaming head with momentum the dead man is in need of he's own momentum before the final chapter of this feud is closed.
Last week was another poor week for the divas division. I am growing very bored of saying the same things week after week and sounding like a broken record but the booking last week was so messy. Charlotte getting pinned last week on RAW made sense because of the story that the WWE are currently going on but the division is just look very messy at the moment and the main problem is the teams. The sooner they realise that having the divas in teams is doing more harm than good the better. Once they have all split up things will start improving and the story telling will be stronger but there is so much going on at the moment and instead of having a variety it's just a mess. I have no idea what on earth they are doing with Paige but what I do know is that I would love it if they took some of the attention off of her for a little and actually put the spotlight on the divas champion herself who seems to be a little lost at the moment. I like the work she is doing with Natalya, the two had an amazing match a while back on NXT witch I advise you all go and check out if you haven't seen it already. They have great chemistry and couple put on something very special once again if given the time. Last week on Smackdown Natalya was attacked and tonight we can expect her to reveal who was the attacker even though it's pretty obvious that it was Paige. We could see them go one on one tonight or the WWE might give them a match for Hell in a Cell. I can't tell you how happy I am that we are finally seeing more of Nattie on TV (that doesn't include Total Divas). She's the one true female veteran and we could see some amazing matches involving her and the likes of Paige, Charlotte and of course Sasha Banks. Talking of Sasha Banks, she is without a doubt the most over diva on the roster right now. Every single week the live crowd and everyone at home has been making it perfectly clear that they want to see more of her and it's something that has started developing into a story. We have recently seen team Bella use the "we want Sasha" chants to create a divide amongst team Bad. I know there are some rumours of the WWE turning Sasha baby face witch I'm personally not a fan of but in my opinion we need to start seeing even more of Sasha in action and the divas matches need to start increasing in length again. During tonight's show it is important Charlotte gains some momentum ahead of her divas championship match this weekend but I am also expecting to hear more from Nikki Bella and Team bad before the pay per view this Sunday.
It has also been confirmed by WWE that tonight we will also see hall of famers Shawn Michaels and Ric Fair make an appearance during Monday night RAW. It has yet to be announced what that role will be tonight or why they are coming to Dallas for the show but with a red hot pay per view only six days away it should be interesting seeing what they have to offer tonight. It's likely we will see Flair do some backstage work with daughter Charlotte, however both men are most likely going to be giving their input on what they think may go down this up and coming Sunday at Hell in a Cell between Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker and make their own little predictions for the rest of the matches on the card.
One of the most entertaining feuds of the past month has without a doubt been Bray Wyatt VS Roman Reigns and this up and coming Sunday the two rising superstars will finally put an end to their rivalry when they go one on one inside Hell in a Cell. The past week has seen the two push their match up perfectly with strong promos, segments, and matches hyping up the final showdown. Last week on Smackdown, Bray Wyatt proclaimed that he would unveil a prophecy for Roman Reigns on RAW. Whatever Bray has in store for Reigns tonight will most certainly have an effect on their up and coming match up this weekend. What I would love to see tonight is Bray Wyatt standing tall. Reigns has had a great couple of months and is full of momentum but Wyatt is in need of some of that momentum himself. He needs to long strong, dangerous, and dominate heading into Hell in a Cell and if he can end tonight on a high he will be doing just that. A big beat down would go down well with me. Now, Roman Reigns has never competed inside Hell in a Cell before so seeing how he competes on Sunday will be very interesting and it's going to be great seeing how much he has actually improved. Remember you can see my full prediction post tomorrow here on my blog.
At the moment there are a group of superstars who stuck basically doing nothing. Their booking has been weak, they have had no direction and the worst thing about it is that they are all main event material talent. I'm talking about Adrian Neville, Sheamus, Barrett, and Cesaro. Last week we saw two tag team matches take place one on RAW and a rematch Thursday on Smackdown. The matches were not the best in the world and that was completely down to the time that they had. If they had longer to compete then both matches could have been amazing. For the amount of time that they did have all four superstars did a great job and did keep me very entertained. I did actually mention on twitter that I would love to see these compete in a fatal four at some point because that really would be something very special. Throughout the tag team match on Smackdown we saw Cesaro focus a lot of he's attention on Stardust and the Ascension who were seated in the crowd. It's likely Cesaro and Neville will at some point take on the Ascension. I am of course very bored of this whole Neville/Stardust rivalry and in my opinion the sooner it is over and done with the better. A possible match up for tonight could be a one on one between Barrett and Cesaro considering how things ended last week during the tag team match. If we do get a one on one between these two then I hope that they get a great deal of time just because of ho amazing the match could actually be. We also need to remember John Cena and he's open Challenge. Last week Cena and Ziggler had an amazing match up witch was without a doubt the match of the night. There have been many rumours of the two feuding and even though it wouldn't be my favourite choice of feud the two have great chemistry and can really put on some great matches. As for the open challenge tonight, I'm expecting Rusev to awnser it. After Summer Rae no longer at he's side and no longer feuding with Ziggler, he is in need of some momentum and he really does need to get back on track. Putting him in a strong match up against Cena tonight would be a sensible move even if he is destined to pick up a loss. We could also see Rusev team up with Kevin Owens to take on the team of Ryback and Ziggler for obvious reasons but I wouldn't be jumping with excitement for that to be completely honest. The Dudley Boyz should also be in action tonight to gain some final momentum before Sunday and their tag team match against the New Day.
This weekend at the Hell in a Cell pay per view, Seth Rollins will defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Kane in a structure that the demon knows all to well. Last week on Monday night RAW the WWE made a stupid move when they decided to put the two in the main event in a lumberjack match. So yes, they basically gave away one of their biggest matches for free
