WWE Raw Preview – Hardys, Lesnar, Reigns, Rollins, Owens

Here’s what WWE is hyping in their Raw preview for tonight:

“It’s my yard now”

Don’t say he didn’t warn you: Roman Reigns promised for weeks that he would defeat The Undertaker and assume command of The Phenom’s “yard.” And that’s exactly what he did, handing The Deadman only his second loss in over 25 years of WrestleMania matches. That puts The Big Dog in a position only one other Superstar – the current reigning Universal Champion – has found himself in. But what will the former WWE Champion set his eye on now that he has accomplished the unthinkable?

Bow down to the Kingslayer

Say farewell to “Seth Rollins, pawn.” And say hello to “Seth Freakin’ Rollins, free man.” The Architect managed to knock off Triple H in a Non-Sanctioned Match to reclaim his independence, fulfilling his promise to become the person he was before The Game first offered to make him “The Man” in 2014. With Rollins’ destiny now firmly in his own hands, how will the two-time WWE Champion begin his own personal new era?

Hardy homecoming

Delightful! Exquisite! Wonderful! The return of Matt & Jeff Hardy at WrestleMania was all that and much more, especially when they ended the reign of Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson to become the new Raw Tag Team Champions. Now, after procuring Team Red’s tandem titles, the Hardys come home to WWE’s flagship show, where they join a division that features no shortage of top-shelf tandem competition. The only question is, who among these teams will dare challenge them?

The List of Owens

The Reign of Jericho is no more, and Kevin Owens is now United States Champion. Drink it in, maaannn. KO completely savaged his former best friend in WrestleMania’s battle for the star-spangled title, ultimately dethroning Chris Jericho to fulfill the promise he made following WWE Fastlane. So now The Prizefighter has his prize, and Jericho is certainly welcome to try to take it back. However, he clearly does so at his own risk.

Champion of the Universe

Brock Lesnar is champion once again, having dispatched Goldberg to win his first Universal Title and the first title of any nature for The Beast Incarnate in two years. Now, The Conqueror finds himself once again at the top of the mountain and with a target on his back, which is just the way he and Paul Heyman like it. It will take a Superstar of epic proportions to mount a challenge over The Anomaly. Will such an individual present himself on Raw? Tune into USA Network for Raw, live at 8/7 C, to find out!

– So, they’ll probably set up the next opponents / people to lose to Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. It feels like Braun Strowman is bound to be fed to one of them. Finn Balor is also coming back soon, but not sure if he would fit in to one of those feuds.

– Seth Rollins is rumored to feud with Samoa Joe.

– They seem to be indicating that the Owens vs. Jericho feud will continue.

– We’ll see if they give the Hardys any promo time. I think a lot of people have a bad feeling that they’ll end up being used really poorly like how the Dudleys were used in their last run, but we’ll see.
