RAW Five-Point Preview: May 18, 2015
In the aftermath of WWE Payback, the entire locker room is bracing for the carnage that awaits at WWE Elimination Chamber, live on the award-winning WWE Network. We already know that the vacant Intercontinental Championship and The New Day’s WWE Tag Team Championship will be on the line inside the dreaded structure, but what else will be revealed about the May 31 event? The treacherous road to Elimination Chamber begins tonight on Monday night’s hottest show.
Also, after impressively defending the United States Championship against Rusev in an hellacious “I Quit” Match, John Cena has vowed to continue his U.S. Open Challenge tonight. Who will step up to face The Champ for the star-spangled prize?
Is Rollins really as good as he says he is?
Following a brief Shield reunion that probably didn’t go the way Seth Rollins had planned, The Architect walked out of WWE Payback with the prestigious WWE World Heavyweight Championship — sealing the victory by hitting Randy Orton with Triple H’s signature Pedigree, no less!
How will “The Future of WWE” follow up on his impressive win? Plus, with Kane’s career in The Authority secure after Rollins’ retention, what’s the Director of Operations’ next move?
What ‘I Quit’ Match aftermath lies ahead for John Cena, Rusev and Lana?
United States Champion John Cena continued his “I Quit” Match undefeated streak at WWE Payback, forcing the pained Rusev to scream out in Bulgarian before Lana claimed The Super Athlete had said “I quit” and admitted defeat in his final battle against The Champ. The Ravishing Russian’s intervention didn’t sit well with the frustrated Hero of the Russian Federation, who dismissed the beauty after the bout.
What does it all mean? Have we seen the last of Rusev and Lana as a unit? If so, what’s Lana’s next move? Will The Super Athlete address the situation publicly? Speculation abounds in the lead-up to Raw.
Meanwhile, Cena remains “the man to beat” in WWE, and vowed to continue his U.S. Open Challenge in an exclusive interview on the WWE Payback Fallout show, exclusively on the award-winning WWE Network. Who will seek out this golden opportunity on Raw?
Who’s going into the Elimination Chamber?
The New Day might have been all smiles as they celebrated their WWE Tag Team Championship retention at WWE Payback — by drinking milk from champagne glasses — but the trio was visibly less optimistic when they learned about their next challenge at WWE Elimination Chamber, live in less than two weeks on WWE Network. The trio will defend their titles in the first-ever WWE Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber Match.
Which tandems will challenge the trio, who, from what we understand thus far, will be forced to occupy a single pod inside the Chamber? Will Tyson Kidd & Cesaro get a chance at retribution after being robbed of the titles last night?
Additionally, we’ve learned that the vacant Intercontinental Championship — relinquished by the injured Daniel Bryan — will also be at stake inside the Chamber. Who will earn the right to battle for this illustrious prize?
Heavy hangs the crown?
King Barrett might have grounded Neville to win the 2015 King of the Ring Tournament, live on the award-winning WWE Network, but the brawler was ultimately unable to counter the aerial abilities of The Man That Gravity Forgot at WWE Payback. In front of a sold-out Baltimore crowd, Barrett lost via count-out and then, when he tried to pummel his smaller foe after the bout, he was punished for his misdeeds by a retaliatory Red Arrow from The New Sensation.
Will Barrett be looking to settle the score with Neville in kingly fashion on Raw?
Will Naomi become the next Divas Champion on Raw?
Is it the shoes? Well, as we saw at WWE Payback, Naomi’s recent run of successes has little to do with her light-up kicks. In the night’s Divas Tag Team Match, Naomi & Tamina dominated Nikki & Brie Bella, with Naomi sealing the win with a pinfall over Divas Champion Nikki Bella.
After that impressive show of force, Naomi has no doubt brought herself closer to another Divas Championship opportunity, going so far as to throw down the gauntlet in a WWE.com interview after her WWE Payback victory. Is Nikki up to the challenge?
