WWE Raw preview, Sept. 18, 2017: Nia Jax battles "The Goddess of WWE" one-on-one
Just six nights before Alexa Bliss defends her Raw Women’s Championship in a Fatal 4-Way Match at WWE No Mercy, she’ll have to take on one of her challengers, the imposing Nia Jax, in singles action on Raw. Will Little Miss Bliss once again regret getting on the bad side of the forceful Jax?
Nia Jax aims to knock Alexa Bliss off her pedestal
Ever since Nia Jax dropped Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss moments after “The Goddess of WWE” reclaimed her title from Sasha Banks, the WWE Universe has been clamoring for a one-one-one match between the two former friends, and Raw General Manager Kurt Angle was more than happy to oblige.
Six nights before Jax, Sasha Banks and Emma challenge Alexa in a Fatal 4-Way Match at WWE No Mercy, Nia squares off with Little Miss Bliss one-on-one on Raw. Can Jax shake Alexa’s confidence before next Sunday’s title match?
Will it be Roman Reigns or John Cena who gets in the final word before WWE No Mercy?
John Cena and Roman Reigns’ microphone battles have gotten more intense each week since The Cenation Leader arrived on Raw to test Roman Reigns’ mettle, and a heated confrontation six nights before their anticipated dream match at WWE No Mercy seems inevitable.
Although Cena seems to have the upper hand in terms of verbal warfare heading into this week’s Raw, live in San Jose, The Big Dog could be saving his most cutting remarks for last.
Braun Strowman shows no mercy
Not only did Braun Strowman once again brutalize Universal Champion Brock Lesnar on Raw — shrugging off a German suplex in the process — but he left John Cena laid out in the middle of the ring after assaulting The Cenation Leader with the steel ring steps.
It’s become a distinct possibility that The Monster Among Men will become Universal Champion by defeating The Beast Incarnate at WWE No Mercy. Who will face his fury on the final Raw before that title bout?
Brothers-in-arms stand triumphant
Raw’s Tag Team division is more competitive than ever, and after successfully teaming with The Hardy Boyz against Cesaro, Sheamus, Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson last week, Raw Tag Team Champions Dean Ambrose & Seth Rollins are riding high as they prepare to defend their titles against The Celtic Warrior and The Swiss Cyborg at WWE No Mercy.
How will The Lunatic Fringe and The Kingslayer keep their momentum going on Raw?
Will Enzo Amore get even with The Miz?
The Miz expected this past Monday’s Raw to be one of the most memorable nights of his career — and it was, but certainly not for the reason he was expecting. After The A-Lister and his wife Maryse revealed that they were expecting their first child, Enzo Amore boldly interrupted the “must-see” couple’s big moment, prompting a match between The Certified G and the dad-to-be.
Mid-match, Amore continued the insults, insinuating that Miz might not be the father of Maryse’s baby, prompting The Awesome One to brutally attack the outspoken Superstar and hit him with the Skull-Crushing Finale.
This isn’t the first time Amore’s mouth has gotten him into trouble, and it won’t be the last. But how will Smacktalker Skywalker rebound on Raw, six nights before challenging Neville for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship at WWE No Mercy?
