Being a member of The Bloodline certainly had its perks, but Jey Uso is about to find out tonight on WWE Raw from Albany if leaving his family behind and turning good might prove even more beneficial to his “Main Event” aspirations.
Is Jey Uso the one to knock Seth Rollins off his perch?
Though World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins has been embroiled in the battle against The Judgment Day for a while, he said last week that he’s now feeling the itch again to be a fighting champion. To that end, he talked to Adam Pearce about giving a title opportunity to someone he thought deserved it, and that turned out to be Jey.
It’s hard to argue against that decision since Jey has been a mainstay for the face side of the Raw roster since his arrival on Monday nights, and has won over almost everyone who doubted the sincerity of his turn. Maybe it’s unlikely that he wins the championship on a Monday night in early December, but with so much time between now and Royal Rumble, it’s not impossible.
The big problem will be the person who was most annoyed that Jey was granted a title shot: Drew McIntyre, who is on a mission to win the championship and still feels slighted by Uso’s actions in his previous life. That combination may make it impossible for the Scottish Warrior to leave well enough alone tonight.
Speaking of McIntyre, he’s got his own match against Sami Zayn in Albany, so he’s already going to be in a fighting mood. This is one situation that could definitely boil over on Raw.
Can The Creed Brothers continue their hot streak against two-fifths of The Judgment Day?
The Creed Brothers have made quite the impression since their call-up from NXT, and now stand as the No. 1 contenders for the tag team championships held by Damian Priest and Finn Balor of The Judgment Day.
Brutus and Julius aren’t getting their title shot tonight, but they will get a litmus test of sorts from the champs’ teammates Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh. Beating them would send a message that the titles could be in jeopardy, but it’s fair to wonder if Priest and Balor might not simply interfere here to ensure it doesn’t happen.
Maybe Shayna Baszler is the one to stand up to Nia Jax?
Several different wrestlers have attempted to put an end to Nia Jax‘s rampage since making her WWE return, all with various levels of futility. Now it’s time for Shayna Baszler to take the baton, and perhaps she has the right formula to defeat Jax.
Baszler is tough enough not to simply get steamrolled, and her submission game could be used as a way to make it seem like Jax wouldn’t have an answer. We’re anxious to see is Shayna gets the push that sort of fizzled out after she sent Ronda Rousey packing, and a victory here would be a big sign that WWE hasn’t forgotten her.
We’ll be ready as usual at 8 p.m. ET tonight to recap all the action on WWE Raw, so join us back here at Wrestling Junkie then if you aren’t planning on watching live.
