WWE Raw preview, Oct. 24, 2016: The Beast fires back at Goldberg
Goldberg has accepted Paul Heyman’s challenge to fight Brock Lesnar, and now The Beast Incarnate is coming to Raw, live in Minneapolis, to address the impending battle. Plus, Seth Rollins, Chris Jericho and WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens battle it out in a Triple Threat Match, and Cesaro & Sheamus take on Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day!
Brock Lesnar responds to Goldberg
It’s official: Goldberg has accepted Paul Heyman’s challenge to come out of retirement to face Brock Lesnar in one final battle. Not merely content with letting his advocate speak on his behalf this coming Monday in Minneapolis, The Beast Incarnate comes to Raw in his hometown to deliver his response to the WCW icon. How will Lesnar change the complexion of this anticipated confrontation? Will we learn when and where it will take place? No matter what The Anomaly has to say, Goldberg will surely be watching.
Will friendship be tested in Triple Threat Match main event?
Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon is counting on WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens and his best pal, Chris Jericho, to anchor Team Raw against Team SmackDown LIVE at Survivor Series. As such, Jeri-KO have the opportunity to prove they’re a united front when they battle Seth Rollins in a Triple Threat Match this coming Monday night — a bout that could very well become a Handicap Match against The Architect.
And yet, Rollins’ plot to drive a wedge between Owens and Jericho seems to be working somewhat, as the pair had a backstage blowout last Monday when Owens’ attempt to aid his friend backfired. Should Rollins get inside Owens and Jericho’s heads Monday night, he could alter the landscape of his WWE Universal Championship Match against The Prizefighter inside Hell in a Cell on Sunday, Oct. 30, live on WWE Network. If Rollins stands a chance against both members of Jeri-KO, mind games are a must. Fortunately, those are kind of his thing.
Cesaro & Sheamus battle The New Day before WWE Hell in a Cell
If you’ve been watching their recent matches (or Facebook Live videos), you know that Cesaro & Sheamus are pretty much the worst when it comes to teamwork, and their chances of dethroning Raw Tag Team Champions The New Day at WWE Hell in a Cell are pretty slim. Yet, the argumentative partners have one final chance to get on the same page before their title bout when they face The New Day, live on Raw.
Will The Celtic Warrior and The Swiss Superman continue to butt heads, even against the Raw Tag Team Champions, or will they finally unite over a common goal?
Can Sami Zayn end Braun Strowman’s destruction?
After handily swatting away a three-man team known as The Mile-High Trio on Raw, Braun Strowman vowed to go to the locker room and find a worthy opponent himself. The bold Sami Zayn shortened the search by entering the arena and standing up to “The Monster Among Men.”
Although many would say that The Underdog from the Underground is making a massive mistake by putting himself in Strowman’s path of destruction, Zayn could cement himself as one of Team Red’s toughest Superstars if he picks up a win over the juggernaut. Can Zayn pull it off, or will he suffer the same fate as Strowman’s growing list of victims?
Who will gain key momentum before WWE’s first Women’s Hell in a Cell Match?
As Charlotte concentrates on inflicting pain on Raw Women’s Champion Sasha Banks inside Hell in a Cell, The Boss looks to make history by joining the ranks of such elite Superstars as The Undertaker, Triple H and Brock Lesnar by emerging victorious from the Cell’s sinister confines.
Both The Boss and “The Queen” surely have much on their minds as they prepare for the first Women’s Hell in a Cell Match, and Monday’s Raw in Minneapolis will be the final stop before their perilous encounter within the unforgiving steel. Will Sasha and Charlotte clash before their descent into “Hell”?
