It’s the start of the week. Monday Night Raw comes. World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is live tonight from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The former Scottrade Center in the hometown of one of WWE’s most recognized modern stars: Randy Orton. WWE’s previous visit, for Smackdown, happened to be a double-taping just prior to their Crown Jewel Premium Live Event this past October. Taped for their second episode was the fantastic Gunther vs Rey Mysterio Intercontinental Championship match. Let’s take a look at what is on tap for WWE Raw tonight.

To Tape A Podcast
Logan Paul is set to have a live, in-ring edition of “Impaulsive”. His podcast. Is it really going to be a podcast taping? Or is that just the name for the segment? Guess we’ll have to check our RSS feeds soon enough to find out. Either all, Logan Paul takes a page out of his former partner and rival The Miz’ playbook by offering a talking segment. Likely to bait and taunt his WrestleMania opponent, Seth Rollins. This will be Logan Paul’s first in-person appearance since costing Seth the United States Championship at Elimination Chamber.
The Club Checks In
The Good Brothers, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson, have not had a televised appearance on WWE since early January. They have been off TV since a week after AJ Styles suffered a broken ankle at a house show event. Since then, they have instead been on dark matches, house shows and as of recently, Main Event tapings. They return to the regular programming tonight to take on, who would’ve guessed, their opponents at said Main Event tapings, The Maximum Male Models. But, there’s a wrinkle this time. The Maximum Male Models, Ma.çé & Mån.sôör, now have a new member: Otìsè. It seems Otis has officially separated from Chad Gable to join Maxine Dupree and her Maximum Male Models. Swoon by her supermodel good looks.
A Filler Arc In Wrestling
The Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair is set to face the most successful female performer in modern WWE history at WrestleMania. And yet, nothing about that is mentioned. Instead, we’ve seen week by week these two top stars simply stare at each other and Asuka occasionally scare her WrestleMania opponent by spewing blue ink from her mouth. To fill time in the ring, we’ve seen the two have to contest with Carmella. Who constantly tries to berate and antagonize the two. Well, here we go again. Except this time, her newfound friend, Chelsea Green is alongside her. So now we have ourselves a tag team match. As the two WrestleMania opponent’s play the ol’ “can they get along?” trope. Who’s going home with blue all over?
Seeds Of Doubt
It’s rather fitting that Austin Theory is trying to plant doubt between The Street Profits, Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford. Because that’s what John Cena has done to him. His WrestleMania opponent, who very publicly and very loudly buried Austin Theory’s potential as a star. He already beat Angelo last week, playing off the fact that Angelo failed to qualify for the Elimination Chamber while Montez Ford was able to win his way in. If Ford loses, well, he loses. Obviously. But if by some chance, he wins, would that just create more doubt among The Street Profits?
The Head Of The Table Stops By
The Unified Universal WWE Champion Roman Reigns is set to be present tonight in Monday Night Raw and very likely to continue to build up his WrestleMania main event with Cody Rhodes. On Smackdown, we saw how Cody Rhodes was able to help mend fences between Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, creating a duo to directly oppose The Unified WWE Tag Team Champions, The Usos. Roman without a doubt will have to address the new unity between his three biggest rivals just 2 weeks removed from The Grandest Stage Of Them All.
All that and more on WWE Raw tonight.
