The two championship rivalries on RAW
The WWE Championship match between Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre is expected to be a one-off encounter, and it probably won't turn into a full-fledged rivalry. Last week, we saw Ziggler appearing on RAW, and it was reported that he has quietly been moved to the red brand.
On RAW, Ziggler congratulated McIntyre for his recent success in WWE. But then, he went on to say that he deserves a title match owing to their history when Ziggler guide the Scottish Psychopath on his journey to the top of the red brand. McIntrye obliged, and the two Superstars are now set to lock horns at Extreme Rules: The Horror Show.
As for Sasha Banks, she and Bayley arrived on the red brand last week and decided to challenge Asuka with the intention of becoming 'Two Belts Banks' just like her best friend, 'Bayley Dos Straps'.
Banks is also scheduled to square off against NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai in a non-title match on NXT this week. But before that, she will sign the dotted line to make her championship match against Asuka official ahead of the upcoming PPV.
