Burning down Seth's ambitions edition
“The All Mighty One” slays The Kingslayer
>After pinning Dean Ambrose in this past Monday night’s Six-Man Tag Team Match, an increasingly aggressive Seth Rollins earned an Intercontinental Championship that, per Triple H, would be a Falls Count Anywhere Match.
>Taking full advantage of the lenient stipulation, The Architect battered the self-proclaimed “Moral Compass of WWE” all over the arena, even ambushing his foe before the match. After hitting Ambrose with a Stomp that would have won the bout, however, Bobby Lashley — who had brawled with The Kingslayer as Raw went on the air — hit the ring and mercilessly pummeled the would-be Intercontinental Champion. After Ambrose scored the pinfall, “The All Mighty One” continued the brutality by driving Rollins through a table.
>Rollins and Lashley will meet in the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match, but does The Kingslayer have retribution on his mind for this Monday night?
It’s “Boss Time” for Ronda Rousey
>Embodying everything WWE’s fresh start under the McMahon family stands for, Sasha Banks seized opportunity this past Monday night, challenging Nia Jax for the right to challenge Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women’s Championship at the WWE Royal Rumble event. With best friend Booley neutralizing the threat of Tamina at ringside, The Boss handled her business with The Irresistible Force, making her foe tap out to the Bank Statement.
>Now, Banks is set to go up against The Baddest Woman on the Planet on Jan. 27 in Phoenix. Can The Boss do what no one has been able to do in WWE and unseat The Rowdy One?
Is Braun Strowman truly ready for Brock Lesnar?
>After suffering a shattered right elbow back in November and undergoing surgery, Braun Strowman officially competes for the first time since his injury at the WWE Royal Rumble event, challenging Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship.
>The Monster Among Men came to Raw this past Monday night to throw down with The Beast Incarnate, but Lesnar refused to give Strowman or the WWE Universe the fight they wanted. Despite what he says, is the recovering Monster truly ready for a trip to Suplex City? Strowman has suffered defeat to Lesnar before, and given his condition, the behemoth seems to be at a rarely seen disadvantage. How is he preparing for the challenge that lies ahead?
The Revival “conspiracy” continues
>2018 wasn’t kind to The Revival, and 2019 isn’t going any differently for Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder. One week after Raw Tag Team Champions Bobby Roode & Chad Gable held on to their titles after the wrong member of The Revival was pinned, a rematch ended in controversy when Gable scored the 1-2-3 on Dawson, even though the “Top Guy’s” foot was on the rope — a tactic that should have BROKEN up the pin.
>Following two controversial defeats in so many weeks, The Revival claim there’s a conspiracy against them and, really, can you blame them?
Royal Rumble Matches take shape
>The fields for both the Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble Matches are already getting crowded, with Raw Superstars like John Cena, Seth Rollins, Elias, Booley and The riotttttttttt Squad revealing they will compete in their respective over-the-top-rope contests.
>Who else will declare for a Royal Rumble Match, where a title opportunity at WrestleMania will be earned through grit, determination and no small amount of stamina?
