RAW Five-Point Review:
201507019_RawPreview_taker_LIGHT_taker2-hp-logo.jpg

WWE Battleground saw the monumental return of The Undertaker and the incredible WWE World Heavyweight Championship controversy that he left in his wake. Will The Phenom cast his legendary shadow over Raw as well? WWE.com has some ideas.

1.Will The Deadman rise on Raw?:

At WWE Battleground, The Undertaker stepped into the WWE ring for the first time since WrestleMania 31, attacking Brock Lesnar and effectively costing him the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

In the wake of The Phenom’s return, questions are already running wild inside the locker room and all over the WWE Universe. After suffering not one, but two devastating Tombstones, can Lesnar possibly accompany his outspoken advocate, Paul Heyman, to Raw in order to take issue with The Deadman’s rise? Perhaps the bigger question to ask: What of The Demon of Death Valley himself? Considering the nature of The Undertaker, one should not rule out his appearing on WWE’s flagship show tonight.

And what of WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins? Like him or hate him, The Architect managed to escape WWE Battleground with his title. Could he be setting his sights on another No. 1 contender, and will Brock Lesnar allow it? Find out tonight on USA Network at 8/7 C.

2.Two Faces of Fear?:

In a highly personal Battleground showdown, Roman Reigns waged war against Bray Wyatt. In the height of the action, Reigns looked to be on the verge of victory when a hooded man attacked him, allowing Wyatt to hit Sister Abigail for the win. After the match, the intruder revealed himself to be former Wyatt Family member Luke Harper.

Have Wyatt and Harper reunited? If so, what does this mean for Reigns? The Big Dog seemed to have trouble with the singular challenge of Wyatt — how might he react to this new adversity? And has The Eater of Worlds become more dangerous than ever? Perhaps these and other questions will be answered tonight on Raw.

3.How will the Divas revolution continue?:

One week ago, the Divas division was turned completely upside down when Stephanie McMahon ushered in the revolutionary arrival of Charlotte and Becky Lynch – both of which joined forces with their old friend Paige. Also on hand was NXT Champion Sasha Banks, who aligned herself with Naomi & Tamina to form the group called B.A.D. – Beautiful And Dangerous.

At WWE Battleground, each of the imposing Divas factions were charged with having one representative complete in an impromptu Triple Threat Match. Charlotte demonstrated why she reigned as NXT Women’s Champion for nearly nine months when she made Brie Bella tap out to the Figure-Eight. What does this Team Paige victory mean for the new Divas division?

There is no doubt that Charlotte’s win will only serve to turn up the heat tonight at Raw in the quest to knock Team Bella off the top of the mountain. How will Nikki, Brie and Alicia respond to Brie’s loss? And will Naomi, Tamina and Sasha feel the need to make their presence felt?

4.The serpentine question:
Orton-Sheamus.jpg

True to form, Randy Orton and Sheamus engaged in a knock-down, drag-out fight at WWE Battleground. The back-and-forth encounter concluded with Orton earning a hometown win with an earth-shattering RKO out of nowhere. After reigning supreme over The Celtic Warrior, what’s next for Orton? Considering Sheamus’ irate nature, has WWE’s Apex Predator seen the last of the first Irish-born World Champion?

5.What’s next for The Champ?:

John Cena is still United States Champion after defeating Kevin Owens in their third and deciding match at WWE Battleground. While Owens provided the toughest of competition once again, an STF paved the way for the Cenation leader to continue hosting his U.S. Open Challenge. Even so, it seems that things will just never be right between Cena and Owens, as if they will engage in battle after epic battle and things will never be settled. Will Owens step up again to challenge The Champ? And will other recent contenders, such as Cesaro and Rusev, continue to make their presence known? Find out tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network.​

Just turned it on. Will be watching until I put my little one to bed at 8:30. Then I'll be back for the remainder of the show.
