WWE Raw preview, Dec. 11, 2017: Strowman faces Kane in battle of behemoths
WWE officials will need to reinforce the ring when Braun Strowman goes one-on-one with Kane, live on Raw. Can The Monster Among Men conquer The Big Red Machine? Also on Raw, Rich Swann faces Drew Gulak for the right to challenge Enzo Amore for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, Intercontinental Champion Roman Reigns battles Cesaro, Dean Ambrose takes on Samoa Joe and Seth Rollins clashes with Sheamus!
Who is Raw’s true monster?
After weeks of back-and-forth brutality, Braun Strowman will once again meet Kane in the middle of the ring, which will no doubt buckle under the combined weight of these powerhouse Superstars.
Claiming he is the red brand’s “only monster,” The Big Red Machine has targeted The Monster Among Men in recent weeks, and their escalating rivalry has caused them to inflict inhumane amounts of damage on each other and their surroundings. When they collide on Raw, everyone had best stay out of the way.
The Shield battle The Bar and Samoa Joe in three singles matches
After Raw General Manager Kurt Angle restarted this past Monday night’s Raw Tag Team Championship main event, making it a No Disqualification Match, Samoa Joe interfered and cost Seth Rollins & Dean Ambrose the chance to recapture the titles, much to the delight of Cesaro & Sheamus and the chagrin of all three members of The Shield.
Fortunately, The Hounds of Justice will have an opportunity at redemption when they square off against the three nefarious Superstars in singles action. Live on Raw, it will be Intercontinental Champion Roman Reigns vs. Cesaro, Ambrose vs. Joe and Rollins vs. Sheamus.
Don’t miss any of the action live on Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network!
Who will challenge Enzo Amore?
After briefly becoming the interim conductor of The Zo Train, Drew Gulak goes one-on-one against the charismatic and unpredictable Rich Swann, and a victory could put him up against Zo Train mastermind Enzo Amore for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.
Will we soon see “Gabba Gulak” take on Muscles Marinara, or will Swann battle Amore for his second WWE Cruiserweight Title? We’ll find out on Raw, live in Cleveland.
Absolution move in on Asuka
Virtually the entire Raw Women’s division has felt the wrath of Absolution, but for two weeks in a row, Paige, Mandy Rose & Sonya Deville have attempted to intimidate — but not attack — the undefeated Asuka.
It seems like only a matter of time before the trio gets their hands on The Empress of Tomorrow (or vice versa). Will Asuka and Absolution finally collide in Cleveland?
Bray Wyatt faces “deletion” at the hands of Matt Hardy
Matt Hardy is officially “Woken.” In a bewildering back-and-forth exchange with Bray Wyatt on Raw, Matt Hardy sentenced The Eater of Worlds (a.k.a., apparently, “The Consumer of Terrestrial Entities”) to “deletion.”
As the WWE Universe dissects and analyzes the veteran Superstar’s mystifying new mindset, Wyatt must brace himself for an altogether different Matt Hardy than the one he faced last month on Raw. The “Great War” could very well be upon us.
