The flagship show has been delivering some exceptional storylines quite lately, and since this will be the Final Episode of Raw before WrestleMania, the creative team will be looking to maintain the momentum.
Here are the five Bold Predictions for Monday Night Raw
#5 Braun Strowman’s mystery partner remains a ‘mystery’
The whole narrative surrounding Braun Strowman’s feud with The Bar has invoked tremendous interest, mainly due to the mystery behind Strowman’s tag-team partner.
The idea looks solid on paper and could provide this match with some much-needed momentum heading into WrestleMania.
However, WWE has a habit of hyping surprises, and the company relies heavily on marketability and gravitating interests for their promotion.
Don’t be surprised if you see Braun Strowman riding solo tonight.
#4 Stephanie Mcmahon and Triple H get the upper hand
The middling feud between Stephanie McMahon-Triple H and Ronda Rousey-Kurt Angle will come to full fruition tonight on Raw.
Both the teams will be confronting each other tonight before they finally lock horns in New Orleans. WWE is promoting the mixed tag team match as their featured story for tonight’s show, but it won’t end the way we’re expecting it to.
Since there’s no way Stephanie and The Game will be winning at WrestleMania 34, WWE will find a way to put them over tonight before they get annihilated at the Super Dome.
#3 The Miz destroys Seth Rollins and Finn Balor
The Intercontinental Championship feud between The Miz, Finn Balor, and Seth Rollins has been mind-blowing. The narrative will be advancing tonight with a fantastic rematch booked between Rollins and Balor.
Both the performers are incredibly gifted and will likely put on a stellar performance tonight. However, “The A-Lister” Miz could be looking for retaliation tonight after failing to get the upper hand in this feud.
Rollins and Balor will be battling tonight to grab some much-needed momentum before WrestleMania, but don’t be surprised if Miz intervenes this match and destroys them.
#2 Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns brawl
WWE’s efforts to invoke maximum interest in Brock Lesnar Vs. Roman Reigns has been a risk worth taking.
Reigns’ continuous attempts to stand up to The Beast Incarnate have failed and has cost him some significant impetus heading into New Orleans.
The Universal Champion will be heading to the Philips Arena to teach Reigns another lesson but will The Big Dog fall victim to another assault?
If recent developments are anything to go by, then the WWE could perhaps book another brawl to sell the main event of WrestleMania 34.
#1 The Undertaker returns
Analysing the potential this feud holds, the Undertaker’s inevitable return to Monday Night Raw could very well end the show in splendid fashion.
“The Phenom” defines WrestleMania, and his possible confrontation with John Cena could help elevate the viewership of the show tonight.
WWE desperately needs to solidify this feud for WrestleMania after relying heavily on Cena’s monotonous promos to bring the Legend back.
Expect this segment to tear the house down with The Deadman choke-slamming Cena to end Monday Night Raw.

Some top segments and matches are being heavily featured in tonight’s edition of Raw, and considering the infectious energy among the WWE Universe, the creative team has some expectations to fulfill.
With that being said, let’s look at what awaits us at the Quicken Loans Arena tonight.
#5 The ‘Monster Among Men’ could ride solo
Braun Strowman’s perplexing contenders for the Raw Tag Team Championships was addressed by Kurt Angle last week, supplicating the necessity of a partner for Strowman.
The ‘Monster Among Men’ will not be heading to New Orleans without a partner, and since we are only two weeks away from WrestleMania, there will be some advancements in the narrative tonight.
Braun Strowman certainly caught ‘The Bar’ off-guard last week, with a dominant victory over Cesaro and, judging by the fearsome persona he carries, the question remains - Will anyone dare to team up with Strowman?
#4 The ‘Woken Warrior’ will address his road to WrestleMania
After the harrowing battle that transpired between Bray Wyatt and ‘Woken’ Matt Hardy last week, with the former facing the Ultimate Deletion, the ‘Woken Warrior’ will be craving to clean another vessel.
The surprising success of the Ultimate Deletion has catapulted the creative freedom of Matt Hardy, and since the WrestleMania card is already stacked, the ‘Maniac Messiah’ could be clearing his intentions tonight.
Will the WWE Universe witness another deletion tonight? We have to wait and find out.
#3 Brock Lesnar could await an unforeseen retaliation
Brock Lesnar’s eventual beatdown on Roman Reigns was savage, vicious and entertaining. WWE have been excellent in their part in booking a solid storyline for WrestleMania 34, with brilliant character enactments from Reigns and Lesnar.
After being carried out on a stretcher last week on Raw, the ‘Big Dog’ finds himself in a tough spot. Since the Universal Champion could be showing up tonight, a visibly injured Roman Reigns could be looking for retaliation.
If you’re expecting a fight tonight, you might get your money’s worth.
#2 Seth Rollins will be looking to gain momentum in a riveting rematch
Finn Balor’s post-match assault by the Miztourage was quickly broken by ‘The Architect’ Seth Rollins, who finds himself losing momentum heading towards the Super Dome.
A backstage interview with Seth Rollins has glorified the possibilities of a riveting rematch for tonight against the first-ever Universal Champion.
Both the Superstars have produced excellent bouts in the past, and with Balor getting the upper hand on Rollins, the latter could be looking to gravitate the spotlight towards him.
#1 John Cena could confront Kane senselessly and mock the Undertaker
John Cena’s willingness to head to WrestleMania was on full display last week while addressing the Undertaker’s timorous antics.
The 16-time World Champion received a surprising chokeslam at the hands of a returning Kane, advancing the narrative for tonight.
John Cena vs Kane is advertised for tonight and, considering this is not the first time they are squaring off against each other, there could be some massive implications attached to get the crowd invested for WrestleMania 34.
‘Big Match’ Cena could be looking to make a statement tonight at the expense of Kane and a possible post-match mockery could irk the ‘Phenom’ Undertaker, to finally show up.
