Here, we preview WWE Raw. The number one contenders for both the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and the Women’s World Championship will be in action on WWE Raw, this week.
Both are looking to put past rivalries in the rearview mirror and fully focus on their championship shots at WrestleMania 40.
WWE Raw airs live from San Antonio, Texas at 7CT/8ET on the USA Network.
Full WWE Raw Match Card:
- Drew McIntyre vs. Jey Uso
- Becky Lynch vs. Nia Jax
- Cody Rhodes & Seth Rollins Respond To Bloodline Challenge
Can McIntyre’s Luck Continue?
Jey Uso has been struggling for a victory lately. Whenever he’s on the cusp of a big win his darling twin brother Jimmy shows up to ensure he fails.
Drew McIntyre, on the other hand, has been exploiting interference in his matches for his gain. He won the Elimination Chamber to become the number one contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship thanks to Logan Paul’s attack on Randy Orton.
He beat Cody Rhodes a few weeks ago thanks to assistance from Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa.
Here’s what’s guaranteed when McIntyre faces Uso on WWE Raw. WWE will flash up a graphic showing Jey Uso’s WWE 2K24 rating as 90, and McIntyre’s rating as 89. 90+89 = 179.
That’s interesting because 179% is the odds of Jimmy kicking Jey in the kisser and handing the victory to Drew on Raw.
Hungry Seth and Rhodes Respond to The Bloodline Challenge
Seth Rollins seems to have loaded his plate high ahead of his WrestleMania WWE World Heavyweight Championship defense against McIntyre. Rollins seems intent on helping Cody Rhodes in his battle against “The Head of the Table” Roman Reigns, The Rock, Solo Sikoa, and Jimmy Uso.
The Rock, whose new character is based on celebrating his family heritage above everything else, wants to face Rollins and Cody Rhodes in a tag match with his cousin Roman Reigns on WrestleMania Night One.
This seems too tasty of an offer for Rollins who seems starved of the opportunity to prove his worth. At this point, he’s hungrier than Otis.
Rollins and Rhodes will respond to The Rock’s challenge on Raw.
But is Rollins’ wife Becky Lynch about to overload herself too?

Is Becky Making The Same Mistake As Seth?
Becky Lynch will face Rhea Ripley for the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 40. Last week on Raw, Lynch attacked Nia Jax in retaliation to assaults on her from the latter.
Some could argue that Lynch would be better off focusing solely on Ripley and trying to distance herself from a feud with Jax.
Find out on Raw. Meanwhile, enjoy Rollins and Lynch tucking into the Hot Ones chicken wing challenge below. Our Preview of WWE Raw continues below.
Anyone Else Want A Shot At Gunther?
Is it better to not be on the WrestleMania card, or to get slapped silly by Gunther for 15 minutes at ‘Mania and lose a WWE Intercontinental Championship match? It seems most of the WWE roster would rather have the second option.
Last week, almost every member of the roster threw their hat into the ring to face the “Ring General.” Even JD McDonagh’s hat – which is a very big hat according to Gunther – is sort of in the mix.
Injured and former WWE stars have also hinted on social media that they are eyeing Gunther. Adam Pearce has his work cut out deciding who gets the shot at the longest reigning Intercontinental Champion in history. Perhaps Pearce will set out how he’s going to make a fair decision this week.
