-- Here is the Raw preview for tonight's show:
Who will battle The Beast at Royal Rumble?
This past Monday night’s Raw main event should have decided Brock Lesnar’s Universal Championship challenger at the 2018 Royal Rumble event on Sunday, Jan. 28. However, Braun Strowman and Kane’s hard-hitting bout quickly descended into chaos. Following a double count-out, neither Superstar emerged as The Beast’s challenger. So, who will rise to face The Conqueror?Live on Raw, Lesnar returns to address the future of his championship — and the behemoths intent on capturing it.
Can Cedric Alexander make the most of his second chance?
After winning a “Second Chance” Fatal 4-Way Match this past Monday night on Raw, Cedric Alexander will now battle Drew Gulak on the forthcoming edition of Raw, with the winner of that contest going on to challenge Enzo Amore for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Should he defeat Alexander, will Gulak bring the fight to The Certified G, or will he hand Amore an easy victory? We will soon find out.
Absolution put on notice
Paige, Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville gave Asuka a choice: Either she joins Absolution, or she becomes their enemy. The Empress of Tomorrow chose the latter, and soon fell victim to a three-on-one beatdown like so many Superstars before her. Asuka, however, had backup. The entire Raw Women’s locker room soon emptied, with friend and foe alike — including Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss — emerging to end Absolution’s onslaught. How will Paige and her ruthless allies retaliate?
Who will be next to challenge Roman Reigns?
As Reigns carries his workhorse title to Raw, it remains to be seen who will step up next. Will it be Sheamus or Joe, or will a new nemesis step into his yard?
“Woken Warriors” assemble
Matt Hardy is “Woken,” and he’s ready for war … a Great War, in fact. The unusual Superstar continues his labyrinthine verbal exchanges with Bray Wyatt, each more bizarre than the last. Will Hardy and The Eater of Words collide in physical combat, or will the bewildering tirades continue?
