WWE presented a great Backlash event on Saturday in Puerto Rico, but we’re rolling up on Monday now, and that means RAW is on the horizon. Now we know about some of their plans, and this should serve as your official spoiler warning.
Sean Sapp noted several spoilers on WWE RAW’s creative plans for this week. It seems that they are going to continue after Backlash, while keeping a few things going.
Trish Stratus posted a tweet where she was wearing a MISSING: BECKY LYNCH t-shirt. It appears that is going to factor into things as well this week. However, as we already noted, Becky Lynch is apparently cleared for her return.
WWE had numerous “Missing” posters for Becky Lynch made to help further the storyline between herself and Trish Stratus. Lynch hasn’t been on WWE Raw in a month, and WWE had continued the storyline regardless.
WWE is also continuing a story that has kicked off on social media involving Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville, who are planned as a regular tag team as of now. They’re doing an angle where they are petitioning members of the roster and staff to go against management.
The report went on to note that, “We’re told that the World Heavyweight Title tournament was scheduled to take up a ‘significant’ portion of WWE Raw as things stood on Sunday. They plan on having the title belt ringside presented as it has appeared on TV in recent weeks. Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, Shinsuke Nakamura, The Miz, Finn Balor and Damian Priest are planned for Monday’s tournament.”
The report also noted that, “those we talked to said a new and immediate infusion of talent is expected to take shape starting Monday to do the draft and call-ups.”
As with anything in WWE, things can change. After all, Vince McMahon has the power to come in and rip up the whole script if he wants to.
We’ll have to see how things pan out when the show goes live this week. As always, keep checking back with Ringside News for more on this story, and everything else going on in the pro wrestling world.
