Has everyone recovered from that football game of some note Sunday night in Las Vegas? If so, it’s time to bring your attention about two-thirds of the way across the country to Lexington, Ky., because WWE Raw is advancing us another step toward Elimination Chamber. Here’s what to watch for tonight.
Can Jey Uso help The New Day tip the scales against Imperium?
The New Day has been having a fiery feud against the wingmen from Imperium, but the presence of Gunther would seem to be a problem from both mathematical and physical perspectives. Enter Jey Uso, who’s recently made it clear he’s got his sights set on the Ring General’s Intercontinental Championship.
As we all wait hopefully for the potential return of Big E, Uso feels like a nice fit as a partner for Kofi and Xavier, and there’s no question that a Jey-Gunther program has a lot of promise. If this six-man tag doesn’t settle things tonight, we’re fine with that.
Who else will win their way into Elimination Chamber?
To date, two men and two women have earned spots in the Elimination Chamber matches in Perth. That number will increase by three total in Lexington.
The men have two matches, with LA Knight facing Ivar and Bobby Lashley taking on Bronson Reed. On the women’s side, Liv Morgan will battle Zoey Stark. The feeling is that Knight, Lashley and Morgan will be the winners, but we also wouldn’t be stunned if there’s a surprise among these three bouts.
Will there be more WrestleMania Kickoff follow-up or is wait until Friday?
It’s wild to think about, but it’s still been only four days since the WrestleMania Kickoff event and the reshuffling of the top of the WrestleMania card. WWE is promoting Roman Reigns and The Rock for this week’s episode of SmackDown, so that figures to be the place where the next big developments will take place.
Still, it would be strange for the first Raw since Kickoff not to touch on what happened in Las Vegas at all, especially since Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins are on the Raw roster and were heavily involved in Kickoff. We’re anxious to see what they might say.
Also scheduled for Raw tonight:
- R-Truth battles JD McDonagh
We’re set to recap all the action beginning at 8 p.m. ET tonight, so please join us back here then for live results and updates if you need somewhere to follow along.
