Tonight marks the final edition of WWE Raw of 2018. Unlike other years, WWE has got limited options in hand to put up a great show. They will have to arrange something special to close the year on a big note. This is why a big main event is official to take place on the show. Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler will battle it out one more time. But this time around, a steel cage will surround these two that becomes a must-see affair.

As for the other matches, we expect to see Dean Ambrose to defend his Intercontinental Championship against a brand new challenger. Seth Rollins will receive an opportunity to build up some momentums before Royal Rumble arrives. Also, Ronda Rousey and Natalya will continue their friendship by teaming up in the main event of WWE Raw. The tapings for the show are already over from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler will deliver a solid contest inside the steel cage. These two have been continuing the rivalry for quite a long time. But a steel cage match on WWE Raw always brings a must-see feel. These two veterans will do justice to the stipulations put into the match. In the end, it will be Drew McIntyre who will pick up a dominant win. He needs big momentums heading into Royal Rumble by being one of the favorites of the match.

The rivalry of Seth Rollins vs. Dean Ambrose could have continued for some more times. But McMahon family has removed the mandatory rematch clause. This is a good thing as the feud was making things lackluster on WWE Raw. Plus, it will also gradually set Seth Rollins up for the main event spotlight. He is definitely going to the Universal Championship picture in 2019 as per the reports. Tonight, Bobby Lashley will be his target.

Dean Ambrose will receive a new opponent since Seth Rollins is out of his way. A battle royal will take place to determine his new challenger. Apollo Crews is having big momentums at this point which makes him a valid option to challenge The Lunatic Fringe in a title match. But Ambrose still is the biggest heel on the roster. So he will not lose the title, anytime soon.

Ronda Rousey and Natalya have been able to keep their bond intact despite having a championship match on WWE Raw, last week. They will have to be on the same page as Nia Jax and Tamina returns on the show, tonight. They will deliver an attack to Nattie setting up a tag team match in the main event. Ronda Rousey will end the year on a huge note by picking up another win.

The Riott Squad attacked Sasha Banks, Bayley and Ember Moon on last week’s WWE Raw. So six-woman tag team match sees evident to happen among them. The babyfaces should pick up the win to keep the happier note intact on the show. Also, Elias will move to his next feud against Baron Corbin.
