After last week’s show blew hot and cold, the WWE should be looking to put on a stronger showing this time around...and the storylines have shaped up tantalisingly thus far in order for them to do just that. tantalisingly thus far in order for them to do just that. tantalisingly thus far in order for them to do just that. tantalisingly thus far in order for them to do just that. tantalisingly thus far in order for them to do just that. tantalisingly thus far in order for them to do just that. tantalisingly thus far in order for them to do just that. tantalisingly thus far in order for them to do just that. tantalisingly thus far in order for them to do just that. tantalisingly thus far in order for them to do just that.
Just how much will being crowned the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship play into the Miz’s already bloated ego? And how will Seth Rollins and Finn Balor respond to their respective nemeses after they cost them a chance at Dean Ambrose’s gold last week?being crowned the number one contender for the Intercontinental Championship play into the Miz’s already bloated ego?

The record breaker Alexa Bliss may be small in stature, but her opinion of herself has only ballooned after two consecutive pinfall victories over the former Raw Women’s Champion Bayley. So much so that she accosted her competition last week while standing on a pedestal, but you know what they say – the higher you climb, the harder you fall.
And what does Raw General Manager Kurt Angle intend to do about the bruising rivalry between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman?
With all those answers and more, here is our preview to this upcoming week’s Monday Night Raw!
#5 A crafty operator
Despite always ending up on the wrong side of a beatdown to close out every episode of Miz TV, being made to eat humble pie by John Cena in front of 70-odd thousand fans at WrestleMania and hiding perennially behind Maryse to escape from his opponents, the Miz is somehow closing in on the 7th time that he would be able to wrap the most prestigious belt in WWE - the Intercontinental Title - around his waist.
Yes, you read that right.
But in all fairness, what a year the Miz has been having. And how admirable of the WWE to make him the number one contender for Ambrose's Title as a result.
The two are almost antitheses of each other and their interaction on Raw should definitely be worth watching.
