This is going to be the go-home episode of WWE Raw for the TLC PPV on this Sunday night. No wonder the flagship show will try to go all out to create the hypes to a big extent for the show. But the bad thing is that products from the red brand have been total garbage for the last couple of weeks. The audience has declared their frustrations which is why the task-in-hand is tougher for the creative team. We wonder whether they will succeed, tonight.
WWE.com is hinting that the rivalry of Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins will be the focal point of WWE Raw, for this night. A pre-TLC conference would be there to hype up the women’s championship match at the PPV event. Plus, Natalya and Ruby Riott will look forward to growing the bad blood between them. All of these will come live from the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego, California.
As per the reports from WWE, the Intercontinental Championship rivalry will the focal point of the show. Perhaps the news of Braun Strowman not recovering from injury could have forced this match into the spotlight for now. For weeks, Seth Rollins has succumbed to the punishment that his former buddy has offered. The question is whether the IC title-holder will be able to throw some resistance. This is much-needed to make the upcoming match look interesting.
But we can’t wipe out the return of Braun Strowman on WWE Raw, out of nowhere. WWE.com decided to dodge any sort of hints about the behemoth’s return-schedule following the surgery. This uncertainty about the whole condition would garner a thunderous reaction in case he returns. It can actually happen considering his match with Baron Corbin is intact. Or else, we’ll have to wait till the TLC PPV.
Natalya and Ruby Riott is continuing the rivalry over the disrespect that Riott has shown to Jim Hart. The heel faction has also put Nattie through the table, last week. The numbers game are on their favor that is not allowing Natalya to take advantage. We expect a final confrontation between the two, tonight before the Tables Match at TLC.
Alexa Bliss is in-charge of the WWE Raw women’s division for quite sometimes. She has announced on the social media about hosting a pre-TLC conference. The champion, Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax will attend this session which should become volatile. The two rivals will try to upscore each other before their matchup at the PPV. If Alexa Bliss gets involved in this, we will get a confirmation on her medical clearance to compete, again.
Finn Balor should try to seek redemption after the ambush he suffered at the hands of Drew McIntyre, last week. Dolph Ziggler might try to help him considering he started a rivalry with the Scottish Psychopath, too. Plus, a WWE Raw tag team championship match should become official for WWE TLC. Bobby Roode and Chad Gable will demand another chance against AOP after Corbin rob them, last week. They should get the title match at WWE TLC.
