WWE Monday Night Raw Preview: 1st May, 2017
Follow WWE Raw Results May 1st, 2017; live updates
The effects of the Superstar Shake-Up are now completely in place on both WWE brands. Granted, the process was initiated weeks ago, but inter-brand feuds still existed until Payback. Now that the dust has settled and the smoke has cleared, both brands will presumably have their own Superstars and feuds moving forward.
This Monday Night, The Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California will host an episode of Raw that deals with the aftermath of Payback 2017. There will be new programs as well as a continuation of existing programs, from the looks of it. Let’s look at certain aspects of the upcoming show from the red brand, and what we can expect from the same.
#5 A multitude of babyface contenders
It’s time for blissful domination! Last week on SmackDown Live, Charlotte Flair had the opportunity to become the first woman to win both the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Championships. She almost did, until the (three woman, one man) heel stable consisting of Natalya, Carmella, Tamina Snuka, and James Ellsworth interfered. Soon enough, it was Alexa Bliss’ time to make the same happen, and unlike her genetically superior compadre, she actually sealed the deal.
With Alexa Bliss as champion, the situation opens up a world of possibilities for probable future feuds. Alexa Bliss can definitely compete with Bayley, considering that the latter probably has a rematch clause for her championship. Bliss can even take on Sasha Banks, and this could lead to a dispute between Bayley and Sasha. To be honest, we wouldn’t mind a program with Mickie James either, considering we didn’t get to see too much of that on the blue brand.
