Road to Wrestlemania 38 has officially begun with this past weekend’s Royal Rumble event and there will be fallouts on WWE Raw from the bygone show. The first red brand episode following the PPV will have both the Rumble winners on the card as the headliners.
The Men’s Rumble winner is apparently set to pick his Wrestlemania challenge, tonight while the Women’s Rumble winner will make her return to WWE weekly programming after almost three years. Plus, the new WWE Champion will kick off the All-Mighty Era alongside MVP from the Heritage Bank Center in Cincinnati, Ohio.
After cementing the headlining spot for Wrestlemania at Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar will make his journey to WWE Raw. It was announced by WWE’s Official Website that he will choose which title he will compete for at The Biggest Event of the Year. It’s been reported for months that Lesnar is booked in a match against Roman Reigns for the latter’s Universal Title at the April PPV.
The plan was further solidified after Reigns cost Lesnar his WWE Championship against Bobby Lashley at The Rumble. But The Beast still confirmed his ticket to Wrestlemania by winning The Rumble. Now we will hear from him on WWE Raw,
“After a wild turn of events, The Beast now has a decision to make on who he will challenge on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Will it be The All Mighty or The Head of the Table? The Superstar who took his WWE Title, or the man who handed it to him on a silver platter?
Tune in to Monday Night Raw at 8/7 C on USA to hear who Lesnar calls out!”
WWE Raw Preview (31/01/22): All-Mighty Era resumes
As noted above, WWE Royal Rumble event saw Lashley become a two-time WWE Champion by defeating Lesnar in their first-ever singles bout. Lesnar was attacked by WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns, who was further assisted by Paul Heyman, who seemingly turned on The Beast and got himself aligned with The Tribal Chief.
Now, WWE.com has confirmed that Lashley and MVP will usher in the All-Mighty Era, once again on WWE Raw. There’s no update is available on who his Wrestlemania opponent is going to be. WrestleVotes noted that WWE officials have not decided on a WrestleMania 38 challenger for Lashley yet. Hence, the upcoming Elimination Chamber match might play a pivotal role in choosing the new challenger.
Ronda Rousey returned to WWE by winning the women’s Royal Rumble 2022 match. She entered the fray in the number 8 spot, lasted just over 10 minutes to win the melee. She threw Charlotte Flair over the top rope in the end alongside three other eliminations to punch her ticket to Wrestlemania.
Now The Baddest Woman on the Planet has been confirmed for WWE Raw, this week. It’s expected that she might tease or announce her target at Wrestlemania 38 during this appearance. It obviously leads to the anticipated WWE Raw Women’s Title match against Becky Lynch who successfully defended the title against Doudrop at the Rumble.
Afterward, she also tweeted the following addressing Rousey, “Was wondering if you’d show up again. I’ve still got [the RAW Women’s Title] and she’s doing great.” We’ll witness on WWE Raw whether Lynch and Rousey come face-to-face to possibly announce the match we’ve all been waiting for.
