There are plenty of questions that still remain heading into WrestleMania on the Raw side of the card and all those questions should be answered on this show. Here&#8217;s a look at the go-home WWE Raw card.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Drew McIntyre vs. King Corbin<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/xWMmqr7.jpg?1\" alt=\"Drew McIntyre King Corbin WWE Raw Card\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Drew McIntyre<\/strong> fought off everyone put in his way last week as the Raw locker room tried to take him out at the orders of <strong>Bobby Lashley<\/strong>. And then in a surprise, <strong>King Corbin<\/strong> of SmackDown attacked McIntyre, setting them up to compete just five days before <em>WrestleMania<\/em>. McIntyre has shown that he is willing to take anyone and everyone on and this should be no problem for him as he prepares for his WWE Championship match. However, if Corbin can take out McIntyre, he will go to <em>WrestleMania<\/em> to take on Lashley. There are some really high stakes here.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>&#8220;The All Mighty&#8221; WWE Champion Bobby Lashley faces Cedric Alexander<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/YwFN5Gr.jpg?1\" alt=\"Bobby Lashley vs Cedric Alexander WWE Raw Card\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Last week saw the end of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2020\/08\/07\/how-the-hurt-business-restructured-wwe-careers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><strong>The Hurt Business<\/strong> once and for all<\/a> as <strong>MVP<\/strong> and <strong>Bobby Lashley<\/strong> told <strong>Cedric Alexander<\/strong> and <strong>Shelton Benjamin<\/strong> they were no longer part of the group. That led to a match between the WWE Champion and Benjamin, seeing Lashley walk out as the winner. Now with five days before his second defense of the WWE Championship, Lashley will take on Alexander with hopes of the destruction of his former Hurt Business colleague.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Xavier Woods vs. AJ Styles<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/TixuGj4.jpg?1\" alt=\"Xavier Woods vs. AJ Styles\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was only a week ago that <strong>Xavier Woods<\/strong> and <strong>AJ Styles<\/strong> faced off, leading to a DQ win for Woods after <strong>Omos<\/strong> got himself involved. They will have a rematch with bragging rights and momentum on the line as they prepare for the massive tag team title match on Saturday. This could be another chance for Styles and Omos to try and injure The New Day, forcing them to head into <em>WrestleMania<\/em> banged up.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Rhea Ripley &amp; Asuka team to face Nia Jax &amp; Shayna Baszler<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/xW1BHmJ.jpg?1\" alt=\"Rhea Ripley Asuka vs Shayna Baszler Nia Jax\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Can they coexist&#8221; has been the way for both women&#8217;s title feuds on Raw and SmackDown, as <strong>Asuka<\/strong> and <strong>Rhea Ripley<\/strong> will team up to face the WWE Women&#8217;s Tag Team Champions, <strong>Shayna Baszler<\/strong> and <strong>Nia Jax<\/strong>. This will be Ripley&#8217;s first match since her appearance in the <strong><em>Royal Rumble<\/em><\/strong>, where she finished second to the winner <strong>Bianca Belair<\/strong>. It will be interesting to see how Ripley and Asuka work together considering the bad blood that has become almost instant over the last two weeks.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>More from LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
