WWE.com has released its official preview for this week’s Monday Night Raw. The show will focus on the fallout from the Greatest Royal Rumble while also looking at the build up for this Sunday’s Backlash 2018 pay per view. Brock Lesnar is still the Universal Champion and Braun Strowman has won the Greatest Royal Rumble. At the moment, Lesnar doesn’t have a next challenger for the Universal Title. Here are the stories listed in the preview for tonight’s show:
Monster Among 49 Men makes history.
Brock Lesnar bests Roman Reigns in controversial Steel Cage match
The Era of Wokenness begins
Who will dare step to Ronda Rousey?
The Architect leaves Saudi Arabia with the Intercontinental Championship
Opinion: If nothing else, I’m glad this week is the final show before Backlash as I could go for a show without anything to build towards for a while. The rapid fire nature of April has been a grind and it would be very nice to have a week of downtime for a change. Monday Night Raw (and SmackDown Live) for that matter are a lot to take in every week and having the stakes be so high week in and week out is a bit much.
