WWE Monday Night Raw Five-Point Preview: January 23rd, 2017

This is going to be the go-home episode of WWE Raw for the 30th annual Royal Rumble event on this Sunday. So, it is evident that WWE will leave no stones unturned to build the biggest hype before this year’s edition. This is why Goldberg is called back on tonight’s show to give us a preview of what’s coming. The episode will take place at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. This is what we can expect from tonight.

 

 

Goldberg to have face-off with Lesnar

The Myth has already earned the accolade of pinning Brock Lesnar in a record time of 1 minute and 26 seconds. So, he is one of the favorites to win this year’s edition of Royal Rumble. But, prior to that, he should have a face-off with Brock Lesnar. WWE has officially advertised Goldberg for the night but excluded Lesnar’s name to let him appear in a surprising capacity. In addition, The Undertaker might show a glimpse of him, as well since he is entering the Rumble after a decade. The segment is going to be a thrilling one, for sure.

 

Has Reigns recuperated from last week’s attack?

Last week’s WWE Raw went off the air with Roman Reigns suffering a vicious attack by the combined forces of Jeri-KO. He was put through the commentary table present on the ramp. He was unable to get up on his own and the officials took care of him after the main show was over. We did not receive any update from WWE if he suffered any injury due to the attack. Hopefully, the Big Dog will be able to rejuvenate from it to backfire and make a bold statement to the Universal Champion.

 

Can Bayley pick up some momentum?

Last week on WWE Raw Charlotte was out to declare her Royal Rumble strategy to retain the championship in another PPV. Bayley did interfere to finish the segment with a poem claiming that she will win the Women’s championship on Sunday. However, this poetic prophecy will definitely not help her in the title match against the queen of the Women’s division who is always capable of bringing in her A-game. So, the Hugger should be prepared with her own game plan to capitalize on the given opportunity.

 

Storylines on the Cruiserweight division

The Cruiserweights are on a roll ever since they have got their own show on the WWE Network. This might help him to get added to the Royal Rumble match card, as well. Neville will challenge Rich Swann for the Cruiserweight championship. He’s been dominant on the champion. Even on last week’s WWE Raw, he delivered a brutal assault on the champion. So, this is Swann’s last opportunity to make Neville taste his own medicine. Furthermore, the situation between Alexander, Noam Dar and Alicia Fox is quite confusing. Even when we saw Fox breaking up with Alexander, she was present by ringside for his former man. WWE will be taking the storyline forward, for sure.

 

More names to the Rumble match

This year’s Royal Rumble match is a starry one indeed with so big names on the match card. The latest in the fray was the WWE Raw tag team champions, Cesaro and Sheamus and the Wyatt family from Smackdown. With just a number of spots left, we should get more names on tonight’s WWE Raw. This is a one-lifetime opportunity for a superstar and anyone would like to throw his name into it.
