Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
Vince McMahon kicked off this RAW, and then Strowman (while chasing Corbin) ripped off McMahon’s car door. This resulted in him getting pulled from the Universal Championship match at the Royal Rumble.
A Triple Threat match for the Intercontinental Championship also happened between Bobby Lashley, Dean Ambrose, and Seth Rollins.
Ronda Rousey and Sasha Banks also faced Nia Jax and Tamina. After the match, both Rousey and Banks got into a war of words and it seems like something is on its way. Nikki Cross also debuted on Monday Night Raw.
Other than that, Finn Balor also won the No. 1 contender match for the Universal Championship and now will face Lesnar at the Royal Rumble. And the most important thing is that the Women's Tag Team titles will be defended at the Elimination Chamber!
A lot happened on this episode, and as we are heading to the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, the WWE gave us some hints on what could happen next week.
Here are five things that we uncovered from Monday Night Raw (14 January 2019).
#5 Sasha Banks is going to turn heel
Sasha Banks and Ronda Rousey teamed up last night to face the team of Nia Jax and Tamina. The match didn’t last long, and Banks easily got the victory by making Tamina tap out.
After the match, both superstars got interviewed, and Rousey said that her victory over Banks at Royal Rumble would be her most significant accomplishment in the company.
Then both superstars vow to defeat each other and then Rousey calls her the Classiest Loser which offended Banks and then she leaves the ring to go backstage.
Rousey apologies to her but she didn’t listen to her, and at backstage, Natalya and Bailey try to calm both superstars.
Now, this is very similar to what often happens when two face wrestlers face each other. WWE often create misunderstanding between two wrestlers only to make one a heel.
This time it could be Sasha Banks who will turn against Ronda Rousey. As we all know Rousey is the biggest women superstar on Raw at this point, and it’s highly unlikely that the WWE will make her a heel.
There’s still an episode of Raw left before the Royal Rumble, and maybe Banks will turn heel against Rousey in this episode.
