Preview & Predictions for WWE RAW:
On tap for today's episode, the two Intercontinental Championships are getting some spotlight again as Penta defends his newly-won title against The Original El Grande Americano (Chad Gable), while a gauntlet match will determine who faces AJ Lee next for the Women's Intercontinental Championship.
While Gable's El Grande Americano is a pure heel in AAA, he's booked as a babyface on Raw. Vice versa, Ludwig Kaiser's El Grande Americano is the opposite. I think we'll see some shenanigans here where either Kaiser (possibly with Los Americanos) or Dominik Mysterio will get involved. If the latter does, I'd expect Finn Balor to, as well, and possibly even JD McDonagh. This could lead to some sort of tag or six-man tag team match or whatever coming up—maybe even an eight-man if you want to throw in a guy like Je'Von Evans. I'm suspicious the IC title match at Mania will include multiple men.
As far as the women's match goes, that has not been stated as a WrestleMania match, so I think we're looking at a quick one-off defense for AJ Lee. In the grand scheme of things, I think Roxanne Perez captures that title next. If she's ready to go for WrestleMania (which I'm not sure of, as it depends on her health), then Raquel Rodriguez winning this could help set that up. If not, maybe it's just something random with Bayley for the sake of it?
Oba Femi is going to beat Rusev. That feels like a certainty. There is no reason for Femi to lose.
