Official “Monday Night Raw” Preview – April 9, 2018

It’s that time of year again. Every single week, “Monday Night Raw” takes the air and puts on somewhere between a good and not so interesting show. Sometimes there’s good stuff to be seen but other times it’s a rather humdrum show. Tonight is a little bit different. Actually it’s a lot difference. Tonight is basically the season premiere with WWE pulling out all the stops and throwing everything they have at us, often setting up several new stories in the process. There’s a lot going on tonight and WWE knows what they have in mind.

Here are some live notes from last night’s show.

WWE.com has released its official preview for this week’s episode of “Monday Night Raw”. The show will of course focus on the fallout from last night’s “Wrestlemania XXXIV”, including Brock Lesnar retaining the Universal Title over Roman Reigns. There will also be issues stemming from Kurt Angle and Ronda Rousey defeating Triple H and Stephanie McMahon, plus multiple new champions needing new challengers to go after their titles. Here are the featured stories in the preview:

Opinion

Oh man this could be a fun one. Last night’s show left a lot of questions and if there’s one episode of “Monday Night Raw” that could manage to cover all of those bases and more, it’s this one. I’m really excited for what they might have planned as a Universal Title change isn’t out of the question for tonight. I just hope they don’t vacate the title, which could be one of the worst things possible at this point. Either way, the show certainly isn’t going to be boring and that’s a major plus.
