WWE Raw To Have "Night Of Grudge Matches" Theme
Sprucing up the go-home Raw for Extreme Rules...
Ahead of this Monday's episode of WWE Raw, the promotion has aired an advert, hyping up the broadcast as a "night of grudge matches". The planned card consists of a title match, a stipulation bout, and a WrestleMania rematch.
The latter pits Seth Rollins against the man who defeated him at Mania, Kevin Owens. Owens teamed with Rey Mysterio to defeat Rollins and Murphy on this past week's Raw, enabling Mysterio to pick the stipulation for his Extreme Rules bout against Rollins. Notably, Mysterio chose the "eye for an eye" stipulation.
The Women's Tag Team titles will be on the line, as Bayley and Sasha Banks defend their gold against The Kabuki Warriors, Asuka and Kairi Sane. Banks is scheduled to challenge for Asuka's Raw Women's title at Extreme Rules next Sunday. Bayley lost to Asuka in a champion vs. champion match on Raw this past Monday.
The current card for Raw includes:
*Women's Tag Team: Sasha Banks and Bayley (c) vs. Asuka and Kairi Sane
*Randy Orton vs. R-Truth
*Seth Rollins vs. Kevin Owens
*Elimination Rules: The Viking Raiders vs. Andrade and Angel Garza
