WWE Monday Night RAW Preview: March 3, 2014
It’s not every day that you see the WrestleMania match card shape up from the after effects of a single Raw. Well if you thought last week’s Raw was something like that, well think again. The only match that we could make out from last week was the Undertaker- Brock Lesnar one with others involving Daniel Bryan, Triple H, Shield, Batista, Orton all hanging in the limbo.
With Orton and Batista having the least heat possible from the crowd, the writers have started to dismantle the possible matches and make necessary moves which were visible at SmackDown. Shield’s breakup angle also seems to be delayed at the moment giving the fans a lot to feed their curious mind with.
Amidst of all these chaotic confusions and a particular burning question, the WWE will bring the latest edition of Raw from Chicago on Monday. They will be in a desperate situation to keep the fans silent in the red hot hometown of CM Punk, so let’s take a look at what all developments could take place at this week’s WWE Raw.
Heel Animal
In what proved to be the latest attempt of the writers to give some heat for the WrestleMania main event, Batista was seen showing shades of a heel turn last week on SmackDown.
Though it doesn’t make any sense making Batista heel and putting him against an already heel Orton at WrestleMania, this is the only direction that Batista could take if he doesn’t want to make himself a fool in the company.
Even the crowd at NXT were chanting “worse than Batista”, “Better than Batista” to categorize the matches they saw, incidents like this calls out the need for the writers to change Batista’s alignment and the match against Ziggler was the start.
This week’s Raw will give some more ingredients to a heelish Batista but one thing that should be sorted out is that, does this make Orton heel? Or is the WWE looking to add Bryan into the match? Raw probably will have all the answers.
Inception of a War
Undertaker made his much anticipated return back to WWE last week when he gave Lesnar a ride through the table. The two will face off at WrestleMania with the streak on the line but till then what will keep the fans on the edge of their seats will be the buildup to the match.
Arguably the best microphone worker in the company, Paul Heyman’s involvement will give a great push for the inception of this war as he would give the last ounce of his energy to taunt Taker. Coupling with this will be the dominance of Brock Lesnar and supernatural charisma of Undertaker.
It’s a deadly combination to look forward to and more or less the possibility of an added stipulation to the match makes it more intriguing.
Keep a good eye on this one, because those who love to see Undertaker on Television is not going to get another chance till next WrestleMania with the same going for Lesnar as well.
