WWE Monday Night Raw Five-Point Preview: January 16, 2017

We are just two weeks away from the first PPV of 2017 i.e. the 30th anniversary of the Royal Rumble PPV. Meanwhile, on January 16 edition of Raw, we will see the return of Brock Lesnar. We have not heard or seen him on television ever since his devastating loss at the Survivor Series. This is what we can expect from this episode of the WWE Raw, which will take place at the Verizon Arena in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

 

 

The beast is back

Whenever Lesnar comes back to the WWE programming, it becomes a must watch. However, this time it’ll be something different ever since his 86-second loss at the hands of Goldberg at Survivor Series. It’s difficult to predict what must be going through his mind ahead of the Royal Rumble match. Hence, we can expect him to announce his presence for next week’s WWE Raw as well, where he’ll go face to face with Goldberg.

 

What will the new faces of WWE Raw have to say?

Jeri-KO have now become not only the face of the WWE Raw but also the face of the United States. If you think you have seen enough of the duo on the flagship show, you can wait for this week’s edition when they continue with the celebration. WWE.com gave updates stating,

“if you thought “The Kevin Owens Show” was going strong before, just wait until you see what happens Monday night when Jeri-KO keeps their celebration going.”

Meanwhile, Reigns will be eager to put his hands on both of them after the beatdown he suffered at the main event from last week. So, will he be able to fight back against the two? He needs momentum by his side before heading towards Alamodome.

 

Bayley-Sasha counter attack to continue

Last week’s WWE Raw saw a sneak attack from the back from Charlotte and Nia Jax on Sasha Banks & Bayley. The hugger and the Boss demanded a Tag Team action later the night, in which they failed to win. They’ll have to stay together to launch a counter-attack on both Charlotte and Nia. On the other hand, Sasha is expected to continue her individual feud with the monstrous Nia Jax.

 

Neville to win at Royal Rumble

For those who do not know, Neville will get his Cruiserweight title match against Rich Swann at the Royal Rumble PPV. At this past week’s 205 Live, Swann granted the opportunity to the so-called King of the Cruiserweights. He was willing to engage in a brawl right there but Neville instead chose to walk away and hold himself until they get to Rumble. So, will Neville try to make another sneak attack on the reigning champ or will Swann make a statement before the PPV.

 

More names to the Royal Rumble?

Till date, we have got thirteen names entering into the Royal Rumble match. These are the names so far who have decided to enter the 30th edition. Brock Lesnar, Goldberg, The New Day, Seth Rollins, Braun Strowman, The Undertaker, Chris Jericho, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, Baron Corbin and The Miz. So, we have only 17 spots left in. Will we see more names added to the match? We will find out when WWE Raw goes on air.
