Suddenly, almost without warning, we’re just two weeks from WrestleMania 32. Time has flown since the Royal Rumble, and WWE now find themselves in a hurry to finish off a (very debatable) April 3rd card. Hopefully this week’s Raw will see a few loose ends tied up.
While last week’s show was certainly more stacked – with Undertaker and Shane McMahon finally coming face to face (and Mick Foley making a very fun cameo) – tonight is arguably more crucial for WWE.
It’s also a huge challenge. The carnival is in Philadelphia this week, which means a positive reception is almost certainly not in store, particularly with Roman Reigns topping the bill. Hopefully WWE are canny about their booking tonight, and try their best not to antagonise a potentially destructive crowd.
Whatever happens, we’ll certainly have a clearer idea of how WrestleMania 32 is likely to pan out, both in terms of booking and crowd reaction.
8. Roman To Continue Looking Strong
Unwritten WWE logic dictates that the superstar who comes out on top during the go-home Raw will lose at the PPV. While this obviously isn’t one hundred percent accurate, I wouldn’t bet against Triple H standing tall on next week’s show.
That leaves tonight. Although Reigns was definitely the aggressor last week, and it would therefore make sense for Triple H to get a measure of revenge, I could see Roman continuing to wreak havoc – building him up as a strong contender before the odds are stacked against him on the penultimate show.
