 It's the first Raw of 2018, the chance for a (hopefully) fresh start, and the card is a pretty stacked one since I guess they're worried about the ratings for a New Year's Day show - Brock is there, Roman vs Joe, Cedric vs Enzo, and for some bizarre reason Asuka and Alexa Bliss are having a (non-title) singles match TONIGHT? The Beast is back for 2018’s first Raw Raw is starting out 2018 in a major way as Universal Champion Brock Lesnar emerges once again, live in Miami’s AmericanAirlines Arena. It was in this very building that Lesnar returned to WWE back in 2012, obliterating John Cena with an F-5 that set the dominant tone for the rest of his career to date. As The Beast prepares to defend his title against Braun Strowman and Kane at the Royal Rumble event on Sunday, Jan. 28, will another Superstar face his fury in this building on Raw? Cedric Alexander challenges Enzo Amore for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Cedric Alexander finally gets the opportunity he worked so hard to earn when he aims to separate Enzo Amore from his “boo,” the WWE Cruiserweight Championship, on a special New Year’s edition of Raw. Roman Reigns defends the Intercontinental Championship against Samoa Joe, with a catch The animosity between Intercontinental Champion Roman Reigns and Samoa Joe showed no sign of simmering on Christmas Day when the two battled for the title on Raw. During the bout, Joe targeted The Big Dog’s elbow – similar to the injury sustained by Dean Ambrose – but that only prompted Reigns to unleash his rage on his nemesis. When the referee tried to pull the Intercontinental Champion away, Reigns shoved him, resulting in a disqualification. After Reigns was fined for making contact with the official, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle announced on Twitter that The Big Dog will defend the Intercontinental Championship against Samoa Joe on the first Raw of 2018. However, if Reigns is disqualified, he loses the title. Can The Big Dog control his aggression and anger toward Samoa Joe? Asuka to battle the Raw Women’s Champion tonight on Raw One week after Asuka declared for the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match and defiantly attacked Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, The Empress of Tomorrow will go one-on-one with The Goddess of WWE, live on a special New Year’s Day edition of Raw. Can Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan coexist as tag team partners? Few could have predicted that Seth Rollins & Jason Jordan would be able to work as a unit, but on Christmas night, they were celebrating with the Raw Tag Team Titles after defeating the nigh-unbeatable Sheamus & Cesaro. Was that win a fluke, or are we looking at Raw’s new fighting champions? Who will face Hideo Itami next? With a penchant for punishing his opponents, Itami is quickly making a name for himself in the Cruiserweight division. Whoever stands across from the ring from him on Raw will have their work cut out for them.

Asuka vs Alexa is interesting, as you would think they would save that until Wrestlemania, but I can see WWE hotshotting the title onto Asuka before or at the Royal Rumble, so they can make it less predictable.

This is non-title though (or at least they have not mentioned it is for the title), which just makes it all the weirder. Either Asuka loses which is dumb, or she beats Alexa which makes her look weak for the inevitable title defense. Fluffy Bunnies posted:Hi J-ru, I'm happy for Raw.

2017 was a loving trash year and I'm glad it's dead. I am excited for 25 years of Raw and the Rumble because I love the Rumble just like everyone else here and I look forward to the fun that's always the teams and that goofy poo poo, you know. and the toxxes. More shoveltars. Shoveltars for the shovelgod, in my honest opinion. There's 30 women wrestlers?

Oh no the women going over the top rope might be bad? WWE really likes its short women and they're going to need to do a lot of tossing to get people over.
