In the upcoming editions of RAW and SmackDown, a huge World Heavyweight Championship match is on the horizon. But that’s not all—tag team fans, rejoice! Thrilling matchups will showcase the tag team division, taking center stage. A huge number of contract signings are also set to take place.
WWE RAW showdown: Seth Rollins vs. Jinder Mahal, tag team battles, and DIY’s match
As we shift our focus to RAW, the red brand continues to deliver electrifying moments to the WWE Universe. This week’s edition of RAW, is set to take place at the Simmons Bank Arena in North Little Rock.
A blockbuster main event awaits as Seth Rollins puts his World Heavyweight Title on the line against the modern-day Maharaja Jinder Mahal. Last week, Mahal confronted Rollins, expressing his desire for respect. The upcoming showdown promises high stakes as Rollins defends his championship against Mahal.
In other tag team action, Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Finn Balor and Damian Priest are set to face the newly reunited Awesome Truth, aiming to send a painful message. For weeks, R-Truth has been claiming that he is a member of The Judgment Day. He even created custom Judgment Day merchandise without the approval of Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley.
Additionally, DIY, consisting of Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, will face off against The Judgment Day’s members, Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh. DIY has set its sights on the tag team championship. Last week, Ciampa also faced Finn Balor in a singles match. It looks like DIY is targeting the tag team championship, and it could very well culminate in a match at the Royal Rumble against The Judgment Day.
Moreover, the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion, Gunther, will make his highly anticipated return to RAW. Following his last win against The Miz, fans are eagerly anticipating his entry into the Royal Rumble. Alternatively, they are curious to see if a new challenger will step up to the Ring General.
It looks like RAW is set to be jam-packed with thrilling matchups, ensuring an exciting night for the WWE Universe.
WWE SmackDown showdown: Women’s tag team title defense and Logan Paul’s KO show appearance
Over on SmackDown, the blue brand is cooking up surprises of its own. This week’s WWE Friday Night SmackDown, scheduled to take place at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA, promises to be a captivating one.
In preparation for the Royal Rumble, undisputed WWE Champion Roman Reigns, along with his three challengers—LA Knight, AJ Styles, and Randy Orton—will share the same ring to sign the contract for their fatal four-way match.
On the most recent episode of SmackDown, Orton, Styles, and Knight sent a powerful message by ruthlessly attacking the Bloodline members. They physically took down Solo Sikoa, slamming him through a table like The Shield.
Furthermore, Kevin Owens, the number one contender for the US title, has invited Logan Paul to The KO Show. The champion and challenger are set to meet face-to-face once again. The verbal exchange between Logan Paul and Kevin Owens is expected to intensify in the already heated rivalry. Particularly since Owens delivered a punch to Paul a few weeks ago, resulting in a black eye.
In an upcoming match, WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Kayden Carter and Katana Chance defend their titles against Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn. The women’s tag team division is heating up as the Royal Rumble approaches.
Stay tuned for an action-packed SmackDown episode as the road to the Royal Rumble continues. The road to WrestleMania 40 is set to begin. It will be interesting to see what more action unfolds this week on RAW and SmackDown.
