It's the first RAW of the post-Becky era tonight, how will the women's division go forward with Asuka leading it?
Speaking of the women's division, tonight's big match sees the Women's Tag Team Championship on the line, as two time champions Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross defend the titles against former champions The IIconics. Billie Kay and Peyton Royce made their return last week after some time away, and defeated Bliss and Cross in a non-title match to get a chance at claiming the titles back. It was Bliss and Cross who originally ended the IIconics' reign with the titles, will Billie and Peyton get revenge and win the titles back off them?
It's Champion vs. King tonight as part of the BRAND TO BRAND INVITATIONAL, with WWE Champion Drew McIntyre in non-title action against SmackDown's King Corbin. Now may not be the best time for Corbin to come after McIntyre, given he just lost to Elias once again on SmackDown, but can Corbin spring a surprise and get himself a future shot at the WWE Title?
Last week, Randy Orton issued a challenge to the Rated R Superstar Edge for a REGULAR WRESTLING MATCH - one which Charly Caruso needlessly raised the stakes for by saying it would be THE GREATEST MATCH OF ALL TIME. It can only disappoint from here, right? Regardless, Edge will answer Orton's challenge tonight - if he accepts, will it take place at Backlash on June 14th?
The Street Profits took on the Viking Raiders in a two-on-two game of basketball last week, but this week they collide in something more akin to Erik and Ivar's liking, an AXE THROWING CONTEST. Let's hope for no needless decapitations, and with any chance, a date and time being booked for their likely showdown for the Profits' RAW Tag Team Titles.
All this and probably a combined hour talking about how much they miss Becky Lynch, tonight from 8/7c on USA in the States, Sportsnet 360 in Canada, BT Sport in the UK and Ireland, and FOX 8 in Australia!

 STACKED. Tag matches in this show are beautiful. \o/ I also think Corbin is silly opponent 'nuff for DREW to SCREW. #CLAIMYOTHRONE |

Axe throwing. (And I don't think Demolition's Ax will even be there.)  |

I can’t wait to see what Seth does next.
I can’t wait for the axe throwing contest.
Love ya, BlissCross, but I’m ready for an IICONIC title change tonight.
I hope more random people decide to brutally maim Rey Mysterio.
Drew/Corbin will be a damn fine hard-hitting match.

Someone called that they'd do an Axe Throwing contest next between the Raiders and Profits so good on you who did.
Anyways I'm curious how the ratings look this week. A pre-advertised Corbin match probably doesn't bode well for them.

What no AXE puns in the title? that is axeleast a 100 demerit points and you must now turn in your license on failure to pun.

I hope my boy Samoa Joe is in commentary, ' was just thinking a dream battle between him and Sammo Hung.  Tomorrow I'll be watching Enter the Dragon and Enter the Fat Dragon. |

There have been some classic tag team matches in Raw's history, like Austin and HBK vs. Bulldog and Owen and Benoit and Jericho vs. The Two Man Power Trip. Tonight's Women's Tag Team Championship showdown will be the greatest one yet.

Problem is what do you do with the IIconics if they win the titles. I mean if they take the titles off Bliss Cross, where do they go from there since the main roster is basically void of any tag teams other than these two. And the IIconics aren't exactly the "defend the titles against all comers-type" like Bliss Cross put themselves over as, so that takes away the NXT option.
I'm not sure if the IIconics can elevate/carry the tag team division. And just looking at the landscape, the women's tag team division is much worse now than it was the last time that the IIconics held the titles(back then you at least still had the Riott Squad, Fire & Desire and the Kabuki Warriors as active teams).

I have seen the future:
Edge: Randy, I, of course accept your challenge to a wrestling match, but rest assured that I’m going to make sure that it is NOT the best match of all time. I’m going to sandbag all of your moves, only sell when I feel like it, and generally make it shitty.
Orton: Now we’re talking! Let’s do this!

There's always random tag teams. 2) Maybe give couple wins to The IIconics, problem solved! I'm ready!  |

Hate to say it but I think Bliss Cross are probably going to drop it to Bayley and Sasha to continue she slow burn of that angle, as if it hasn't been slow enough. If IIconics win them then they'll probably just throw two faces together who aren't doing anything. I would much prefer Liv as a singles star but I guess maybe they could put her and Natalya together in a veteran-youngster team if they really the need to make more teams. However even that I don't know as it seems like they might be turning Natalya heel with the temper tantrum she threw last week after losing. |

Liv "Everyone's Best Friend Natalya" out of the picture, please.  What a waste of time it's that people have to wait for that Sasha vs. Bayley match for months/years, the whole SD! division has also been stuck in limbo 'cause of that mediocre reign... this company could've used that match far earlier! I bet it doesn't even Liv the hype. ~ Here's hoping The IIconics wins in this IICONIC night. \m/ |
