Wrestling Rumors Official "Raw" Preview – Monday, October 23, 2017

Tonight’s episode of Raw emanates from the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Following an eventful “TLC” pay-per-view, here’s what we can expect for tonight’s show:

Brock Lesnar to respond to Jinder Mahal’s WWE Survivor Series challenge on Raw

Last week on “Smackdown Live,” WWE Champion Jinder Mahal challenged the Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar, to a match at “Survivor Series.” Tonight, “The Beast,” but more specifically, Paul Heyman, will be responding to the “modern day maharaja’s” challenge, where I have to assume that he will accept. We won’t see Mahal for a while, but I hope that during this build, he invades “Raw” and lays out Lesnar.

Is anybody ready …?

…for Asuka? I know that I am. Last night at “TLC,” the “empress of tomorrow” made her long-anticipated debut, and defeated Emma in a great match. I hope that they continue this feud for a bit longer, and not throw her into the title picture right away. Let Asuka build some dominance on the “Raw” roster, and then give her the title.

What will Kane have to say about his attack on Braun Strowman?

One of the more intriguing storylines to come out of “TLC,” was the altercation between Kane and Braun Strowman in the 5-on-3 Handicap Match main event. The two could not get along, and proceeded to beat the hell out of each other during the match. I hope that this leads to a match between the two, maybe even at “Survivor Series,” because that will be a lot of fun to watch.

That’s Amore … but for how long?

Much to the surprise of no one, Enzo Amore regained the Cruiserweight Championship at “TLC” last night, by defeating former champion Kalisto. My guess is that Kalisto was given the title to eliminate the clause in Amore’s contract that no-one could touch him, or they would not be able to compete for the title. Now that it is open season for “205 Live,” who will be the next challenger? I hope it’s Mustafa Ali.

What will be the Extraordinary next step?

In an instant classic last night at “TLC,” “The Demon” Finn Balor defeated “Smackdown Live’s” AJ Styles. Props to Styles for jumping on a plane for 18 hours, and arriving to compete at a very high level. I hope that the two have a rematch at “Survivor Series,” but with it simply being Balor vs. Styles. I have a feeling that no one would complain about that.
