With no mention of Goldberg, Lesnar or even Paul Heyman in WWE’s official Raw preview, the central focus of the show is likely to be the Universal Championship. To make sure that Chris Jericho can’t interfere on Kevin Owens’ behalf, he will be suspended above the ring in a shark cage for the duration of the title bout at the PPV next month. As demonstrated last week, Y2J is apparently afraid of heights, so his acrophobia will likely be a recurring joke in many segments featuring Jeri-KO between now and Royal Rumble.
However, after Braun Strowman attacked both Seth Rollins and United States Champion Roman Reigns last week — all because he couldn’t get his hands on Sami Zayn — how will the interaction between these four men play the matches already scheduled for Royal Rumble? Will Jericho still be involved in the Royal Rumble Match? Will Strowman and Zayn both be a part of the battle royal?
Additionally, Bayley is now 3-0 against Raw Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair since moving up to the main roster. It seems very likely that she’ll be the next person to challenge for the title, and the Royal Rumble seems a likely time and place. However, if Bayley goes into the Alamodome 3-0 against the champ and then loses her title match, it gives her a very undeserved equivalence to James Ellsworth. He was also 3-0 against AJ Styles before finally getting a title match, in which he was firmly put back in his place.
