It’s time for one of pro wrestling’s biggest markets to host WWE Raw, and by that we mean “almost Chicago.” You see, this week’s episode of WWE’s flagship show is set for Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. Which is not quite the Windy City, but it is almost Chicago, for sure.
The fans should be just as hype as they’d be in Chicago proper, however. Let’s take a look at the top things they’ll be reacting to on this particular Monday night.
We might discover what an angry Bad Bunny looks like
Can’t a ridiculously popular music superstar just do what’s right without his former friends turning on him? In the case of Bad Bunny, no, apparently not.
The host of Backlash put himself in the middle of The Judgment Day’s business by preventing Dominik Mysterio from using a weapon on his dad at WrestleMania. He also laid out Dominik a few weeks ago, which in turn got him painfully put through the announce table by supposed friend Damian Priest. Bad Bunny will be back on Raw tonight, and he might be out for revenge.
Speaking of Damian Priest, he’s taking on Rey Mysterio
Rey Mysterio had a tough time of it when he had to deal not just with his son Dominik, but with the entire Judgment Day. That was before the formation of the new LWO helped even the odds, however, and now Rey doesn’t have to worry that no one is watching his back.
Could this week’s match between Rey and Priest erupt into full-on faction warfare again? You have watched pro wrestling before, haven’t you? Of course it could!
We’re expecting WWE to advertise some additional matches or segments before WWE Raw hits the air at 8 p.m. ET on USA, and we’ll update this preview if and when that happens.
