Tonight marks the final edition of WWE Raw before the Super Show Down event in Australia. As we all know, this is going to be the biggest live event cum PPV event in the history of the company. Plus they are also trying to create a record in terms of biggest attendance which needs the strongest hypes. So this particular edition of WWE Raw is coming up with all the ingredients to make it a firecracker.
Ronda Rousey is returning on WWE Raw after a rare miss from last week. She will feature in her second singles contest on the show. Bobby Lashley will have a match against Kevin Owens before a tag team bout at Super Show Down. Last but not the least, Shawn Michaels is resurfacing to promote the headliner of Super Show Down i.e. Undertaker vs. Triple H. All of these will happen when WWE Raw occurs live from the Key Arena in Seattle, Washington.
Ronda Rousey rarely gives an episode of WWE Raw a miss which happened last week. Her current rivals, The Riott Squad took the upper-hand in her absence. So she will look forward to getting back momentums by featuring in a match against the leader of the heel squad on the show, (courtesy WWE.com)
“This past Monday night, The Riott Squad conquered Nikki, Brie and Ronda’s best friend Natalya in a Six-Woman Tag Team Match, giving the group some key momentum heading into the anticipated clash in Melbourne, Australia. Can The Baddest Woman on the Planet attain a measure of retribution against Riott on Raw?”
The lineup of Super Show Down confirms Ronda Rousey will team up with the Bella Twins against The Riott Squad. So it looks like The Riotts will try to gain the upper-hand by ganging up on the champion taking numbers’ advantage. Bellas will run down to provide backup to their partner for the upcoming show to save the day for the Rowdy Superstar.
There should be another solid match on WWE Raw when Bobby Lashley squares off against Kevin Owens. These two have been building up quite the bad blood for the past couple of weeks. Lashley will also team up with John Cena against Owens and Elias at Super Show Down. Tonight Owens might get Elias as his backup to ‘dominate the dominator’ before heading towards Australia.
Shawn Michaels appearing on WWE Raw is always a special gift for the WWE Universe. Thankfully, this is not going to be a one-off night to see him back on board. He will not only be hyping up the Super Show Down main event match but also build up his speculated return. This leads us to Undertaker and Triple H, too who should make an appearance on tonight’s show. A final face-off is mandatory before the match occurs on October 6th.
The Shield’s bonding is going to be another storyline to watch out for, on WWE Raw. Dean Ambrose might finally turn heel on his buddies after months of rumors. But it would happen on a bigger stage like Super Show Down or after that. As for tonight, they would be on the same page to create a resistance against the Dogs of War.
