Five-Point Review:

​

Even with the entire planet still buzzing over the groundbreaking announcement of WWE Network, Batista’s return looming large and Royal Rumble fast approaching, here are five items that make tonight’s Raw must-watch programming at 8/7 CT on USA Network.​

1.Daniel Bryan to team with Bray Wyatt

​

On Old School Raw last Monday, a miscommunication among Wyatt Family members Daniel Bryan, Luke Harper & Erick Rowan resulted in falling to Rey Mysterio & The Usos. This week, Bryan partners with Bray Wyatt to take on the Uso brothers in a rematch. What will unfold when the creepy group's leader takes The Beard under his wing?​

2. The Viper to confront The Authority

​

On Friday, SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero pit WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton against Intercontinental Champion Big E Langston. Furious that Guerrero had not consulted with him first, Orton demanded to speak with WWE COO Triple H and Stephanie McMahon. With The Authority nowhere to be found, though, the champion vowed to give the power couple “a piece of my mind” on Raw.​

3. Colossal conflict

​

After Big Show’s stunning attack on Brock Lesnar on Old School Raw, he threw down a giant-size gauntlet on SmackDown, challenging The Beast to a match at Royal Rumble. Lesnar wasn’t there to accept, but Paul Heyman was, and he had no reservations about making the match official. Who will make the next move as the collision between these two goliaths approaches at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view?​

4. Shield solidified?

For weeks, The Shield’s unity has been tested after a slew of Superstars have asked if there is a “best” member of the group. Although the line of questioning appeared to rattle the trio, Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns and U.S. Champion Dean Ambrose worked together to dismantle CM Punk &The New Age Outlaws on SmackDown. Is the victory enough to make all doubters stop asking questions about the strength of The Shield, or will the black-clad Superstars carry their momentum into Raw and make another emphatic statement?​

5. Get ready to Rumble!

So far, we know Batista and Alberto Del Rio are in the 30-Superstar Royal Rumble Match. With 28 spots to fill, will more competitors be named on Raw? As the January 26 pay-per-view fast approaches and paves the Road to WrestleMania, who’s driven enough to make a name for himself this year? Be sure to catch Monday’s Raw at 8/7 CT on USA Network.​

I'm not excited for RAW tonight. Why the f**** is Orton having problems with the Authority? This is Blue and doesn't make any sense. HHH and Stephanie are by far the WORST heel bosses in history. Sometimes I wonder if they're really heels. Orton and the Authority should be on the same side, period.

 

[Apoho Creed]

I'm really excited for Raw tonight Bryan/Bray Wyatt vs the Usos could see these two out do the other, or a situation where Bryan tries to take the lead and near helps them lose, to where Bray Wyatt saves the day and wins the match for the team? After the match the two butt heads as Harper and Rowan need to break them up? I wondering what might Randy Orton might say to the authority tonight, if he says the wrong thing he might find out first hand who's in charge these days.

Well, we had 2 Raws under the Triple H Regime and most people enjoyed them both. Hoping they'll make it 3 for 3 tonight.
