5 Potential twists for WWE RAW: 14th January 2019
RAW had a very interesting start to the year. It didn't have a New Year's episode, but the first main event of 2019 saw Seth Rollins challenge Dean Ambrose for the Intercontinental Championship.
Since we're now in the new era and "immediate rematches" are a thing of the past (a very good decision, in our opinion), Rollins had to earn the title shot by pinning Dean Ambrose in a tag team match earlier that night.
He teamed with his two old rivals John Cena and Finn Balor to take on Dean Ambrose, Drew McIntyre, and Bobby Lashley. Lashley would cost him the match later that same night. A lot more has been happening on RAW as well, with the women's championship getting a high-profile first-ever match-up at the Royal Rumble, while conspiracies have been floating around as well! You read that right. Here are a few potential twists we could see on the red brand this week!
#5 Bobby Lashley becomes Intercontinental Champion
Seth Rollins had Dean Ambrose beat last week when he hit the curb stomp on the Intercontinental Champion. As it looked like he was on his way for a clean victory, The Almighty Bobby Lashley interjected and cost him the match.
He launched a vicious assault on Rollins and let Dean Ambrose win the match. Afterward, he sent Rollins through a table, making a clear statement. It's clear that Lashley still has a beef with Rollins, and he's now forcefully entered the Intercontinental Championship picture.
We expect Rollins not to win, and Ambrose, who knows? Lashley is long overdue for a title run since his return, so it's very possible that he could win the title and go on to hold it until WrestleMania at the very least. Who have you got for this match?
