Wrestling Rumors Official “Raw” Preview – June 5, 2017

Time for the WWE Universe to transition from extremity to fire.

Tonight’s episode of “Raw” emanates from the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza in Wilkes-Barre, PA, where the road to “Great Balls of Fire” begins. Here’s what we can expect for tonight’s show:

Can Samoa Joe conquer The Beast Incarnate?

Following his victory in the Fatal 5-Way Match at “Extreme Rules” last night, Samoa Joe will challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at “Great Balls of Fire.” I expect an intense promo, as well as backlash from the other competitors wanting their rematch at the “Samoan Submission Machine.”

Cesaro & Sheamus take The Hardy Boyz to the Extreme

Last night at “Extreme Rules,” The Hardy Boyz lost the “Raw” Tag Team Championships at the last second to Sheamus and Cesaro. Because the match was so close, I expect this feud to continue, with perhaps a rematch ensuing at “Great Balls of Fire.”

What’s next for Alexa Bliss?

Bayley could not be extreme enough last night, and was defeated by Alexa Bliss in a “Kendo Stick on a Pole” match at “Extreme Rules” to retain the “Raw” Women’s Championship. Her next opponent should be announced tonight, and there are about 3-4 different competitors that would make sense for her to face in the next few weeks.

The Miz’s Intercontinental Championship “comeback tour” begins

The “A-Lister” has done it again, and The Miz is once again the Intercontinental Champion, after defeating Dean Ambrose last night. However, Miz and Renee Young got into another heated argument on “Raw Talk” following “Extreme Rules,” so I imagine that the feud between Ambrose and Miz is not over.

What dirt did Corey Graves have on Kurt Angle?

After receiving a cryptic message last week on “Raw,” Corey Graves shared information with General Manager Kurt Angle, that could apparently damage the Olympic Gold Medalist’s reputation forever. Perhaps it has something to do with the Enzo Amore controversy? Perhaps Graves is looking to up his status in the company? I have no idea what to make of this, but I can’t wait to see where they go with it.
