Royal Rumble 2023 & Raw is XXX Edition– Monday Morning Q&A
Welcome back to another Monday Morning Q&A where I throw out some concerns to get a feel of how you gals and people are feeling about specific subjects.
Here are 5 concerns I ‘d like to toss out for this week. I’ll offer my responses, too, however the secret here is that I need to know what YOU believe! Make sure you chime in!
1) Which legends are you most eagerly anticipating seeing at the 30th anniversary of Monday Night Raw?
Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker are my 2 favorites of perpetuity, so at any time you inform me they’re going to appear, it is tough not to rank them as the most significant draw for me.
To be completely truthful, however, I do not believe this is going to be a fantastic phenomenon.
I’m anticipating more of the dull discussion we’ve seen prior to, where they do not have a lots of individuals that can truly do anything however turn up for a flash on screen.
I do not believe a 3-hour 30th anniversary of Raw is going to be excellent enough if it is a series of clips and one generic backstage section where a huge group of legends simply stand around till somebody does something that stimulates Ron Simmons stating “Damn!” and very little else. That’ll be an enjoyable minute, however it isn’t enough, and a lot of the previous specials have not had a lot more beyond that.
We simply saw D-Generation X, so they can’t simply do that act once again a couple of weeks later on and have it feel unique. I can’t anticipate anybody like Hulk Hogan or Ric Flair to get physical.
I’m hoping they arrange out some enjoyable methods to utilize these Superstars with the existing crop. Let’s see The Bella Twins, if they CAN battle, take on Dakota Kai and Iyo Sky. Put Boogeyman in a scene with Dexter Lumis, if Boogeyman is going to turn up. Perhaps have Jerry Lawler host a King’s Court with Bianca Belair and Alexa Bliss so he can play off those 2 rather of them cutting discounts by themselves. Hell, bring Honky Tonk Man out there to play music with Elias!
2) What would you state is the greatest and/or finest minute in Monday Night Raw history up until now?
Some that come to mind are Stone Cold with the beer truck, CM Punk’s pipeline bomb, the intrusion of WCW, “This is Your Life” and the cash in the Bank cash-ins, naturally.
In my mind, it actually comes down to 2 minutes that are nearly on equivalent ground.
The very first would be Mike Tyson’s brawl with Steve Austin. That was a media craze. The 2nd– and the one that I would lean more towards, if I needed to select– would be Mankind’s very first title win. That put some butts in seats and turned the momentum of the Monday Night Wars.
3) What are your forecasts for Raw is XXX? Do you believe there will be any huge surprises or title modifications?
- Becky Lynch beats Bayley in the steel cage match due to some legends (most likely The Bella Twins) stopping Damage CTRL from interfering.
- Austin Theory maintains the United States Championship over Bobby Lashley, perhaps by intervention by Brock Lesnar, Omos, or another person to begin a fight with The All Mighty.
- The Usos lose the Raw Tag Team Championship to The Judgment Day either due to disturbance from Kevin Owens and/or an error by Sami Zayn.
4) Do you believe anymore matches will be contributed to the Royal Rumble card? If so, what?
Charlotte Flair versus Sonya Deville for the SmackDown Women’s Championship is the only match I can think of taking place. The Usos are currently having their Raw tag title defense tonight and do not have SmackDown oppositions. Austin Theory’s having his United States Championship match on Raw, too. Gunther remains in the Royal Rumble, which eliminates an Intercontinental Championship match being inserted therein.
Deville would not be a preferred to win the Royal Rumble, however she’s a strong adequate opposition for Flair on the card to fill that area. Style, on the other hand, undoubtedly should not remain in the Royal Rumble match as champ. It simply makes good sense.
5) What is your greatest, most “out there” forecast for a possible Royal Rumble entrant this year?
As I’ve mentioned in this post, which breaks down my complete forecasts of staying areas, I believe we might be in shop for these prospective surprises:
- Nick Aldis
- Matt Cardona
- Chelsea Green
- Deonna Purrazzo
More secure bets are Edge, Beth Phoenix, Johnny Garagno (he is hurt, after all), Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, and Logan Paul. Roderick Strong, Gable Steveson, and John Cena are to name a few that are possible. At this moment, I’m believing The Rock isn’t going to appear. I likewise extremely question Keiji Muto will. I’m not holding my breath for Tyson Fury.
Let us understand your ideas about these concerns by addressing them in the remarks!
