Number One Contender's Matches Set For WWE Raw

Two number one contender's matches are set for next week's episode of WWE Raw.

Seth Rollins will face Bobby Lashley, with the winner going on to challenge Austin Theory for the WWE United States Championship. Rollins was the previous champion, only to be pinned by Theory in a triple threat match at Survivor Series (although the pinfall came after Lashley hit Seth with a spear.)

Meanwhile, Bianca Belair's challenger for the WWE Raw Women's Championship will be determined by a number one contender's match between Alexa Bliss and Bayley. Although Damage CTRL Bayley has fought Belair for the belt previously, Bliss could be an interesting future opponent. She has recently been allied with Belair - even teaming with her in the recent WarGames match at Survivor Series - but has seemed distant and distracted during promos. There has been speculation that she is set for a reunion with Bray Wyatt.

Elsewhere, next week's show will also see Candice LeRae take on Damage CTRL member Iyo Sky.
