The biggest title matches for WrestleMania 40 are set, as is a big tag team match for Night 1. But we’ve got two nights of action to fill out in Philly, so we can hardly stop there. WWE Raw rolls into Houston tonight and isn’t leaving until at least one more match is set.
Who will emerge from the Gauntlet as Gunther’s WrestleMania opponent?
The Ring General has backed up all his talk as Intercontinental Champion, ensuring his name will be in the history books. Gunther has also claimed he has no one left to face, but a Gauntlet match on Raw will prove him wrong.
The question is whether it will be someone he’s clashed with before, like Ricochet or Chad Gable, or a wrestler who’s never battled him for this particular title, such as Sami Zayn or JD McDonagh.
A case could be made for any of the six men who will enter the Gauntlet, and while we think it will be Gable leaving with his WrestleMania plans set, the uncertainty should make for some extra excitement.
Can Shayna and Zoey dethrone the Kabuki Warriors?
The Kabuki Warriors have looked awfully comfortable wearing tag team gold again. Shayna Baszler and Zoey Stark have earned their shot to usurp them. Something has to give in H-Town.
Or does it? This is one feud we could see stretching out to WrestleMania, but that would likely require something other than a clean finish tonight. We’ll be anxious to see if we’re off base on that.
Can Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan settle things without Nia Jax getting involved?
Wrestling doesn’t always have to be the classic face vs. heel to be compelling. Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan are both fan favorites at the moment, but both have been up in each other’s business enough that they want to fight about it.
Ah, but will Nia Jax actually let them do it without throwing her considerable muscle into the mix? Lynch has a formidable WrestleMania mountain to climb in Rhea Ripley, so it would behoove The Man to put all this drama behind her as soon as possible. Can she do it tonight?
We’re limbering up our fingers to recap the action from Houston live tonight at 8 p.m. ET. Join us back here at Wrestling Junkie at that time for WWE Raw results and other goodness.
