WWE Raw: 3 Possible Matches That Can Be Added In Tonight’s Episode – 04 September 2023

Welcome to the special post-payback edition of your RAW preview, wrestling fans! If you’re still buzzing from the high-octane action of Payback 2023, you’re not alone. Despite what many deemed a “weaker” card on paper, Payback 2023 managed to exceed all expectations, setting the stage for tonight’s episode of Monday Night RAW. Thanks in part to four out of six matches featuring RAW talents, including a cross-brand bout with RAW’s The Miz and SmackDown’s LA Knight, Payback laid the groundwork for storylines that will reach a boiling point tonight.

First up, we’ve got Drew McIntyre and Matt Riddle facing The Viking Raiders in what promises to be an explosive Tag Team Tornado Match. This match comes as the next chapter in the escalating triple-threat feud between Drew McIntyre & Matt Riddle, The New Day, and The Viking Raiders. After last week’s fiasco where McIntyre inadvertently cost The New Day a victory against The Viking Raiders, he’s out for redemption. The stakes are even higher with the recent shake-up in tag team titles. Who will get the last laugh tonight? Your guess is as good as ours, but we’re sure the action will be nothing short of spectacular, with potential title implications on the line.

In RAW Women’s division, things are shaping up to be equally enthralling. Fresh off the heels of an epic steel cage match at Payback against Trish Stratus, Becky Lynch is sitting pretty; however, NXT Women’s Champion Tiffany Stratton’s backstage confrontation suggests a whole new playing field for ‘The Man’. With Lynch possibly looking to capture the only title that has eluded her, the RAW Women’s division is brimming with possibilities. Then there’s Zoey Stark, who has ended her alliance with Stratus and is now a wildcard in the division. On the other end, Rhea Ripley reigns as the Women’s World Champion after conquering Raquel Rodriguez at Payback. Who will step up to challenge her? Will it be Stark, or perhaps someone else we haven’t seen coming? The RAW Women’s division is wide open, and tonight’s episode could lay the groundwork for the future.

Finally, let’s talk about The Judgment Day faction that’s making waves not just on RAW but across the WWE Universe. Damian Priest, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and Rhea Ripley are racking up titles like there’s no tomorrow. Priest still holds the Mr. Money in the Bank briefcase, looming like a spectre over any World Heavyweight Championship match. Balor and Priest also strut into RAW as the new Undisputed Tag Team Champions. With Dominik Mysterio holding the NXT North American Championship and Ripley with the Women’s World Title, the faction has reached what could only be described as its zenith. But as the saying goes, the only way is up. What will the faction have in store for the WWE Universe tonight? Given their current trajectory, expect something grand that will leave us all talking.

So, there you have it—a jam-packed RAW episode ahead, with the reverberations of Payback 2023 still felt across each match and storyline. Whether it’s the tag team turmoil, the reshuffled and unpredictable RAW Women’s division, or the continued ascent of The Judgment Day, tonight’s RAW promises to keep the momentum going. You won’t want to miss a second.
