The Royal Rumble, The Wyatt Family and Randy Orton's upcoming title defense will be the center of the Jan. 13 edition of WWE Raw.
Providence, R.I. hosts a show sure to be built around hype for the
matches at the next pay-per-view and the shifting dynamic between the
members of Bray Wyatt's bearded clan. Last week showcased names from the
past, including the surprise return of Jake "The Snake Roberts."This week promises to look more toward the future.
Digging through previews, backstage reports and tweets reveals some of what to expect come Monday night. A promising tag match and Orton whining awaits. "The Beast" emerging to respond to Big Show's challenge does not.
News, Reports on Who Will Show Up
Lilian Garcia will be on Monday's Raw; Kaitlyn will not. Garcia tweeted that she'll be handling announcing duties for the episode.
She wrestled her farewell match on the Jan. 8 edition of Main Event. Her departure gives AJ Lee one less rival and will lead to even more focus on the women from Total Divas.
With AJ just days away from passing Maryse as the longest-reigning Divas champ ever, one has to assume that the champion will have to fend someone off before she claims that record. Will one of The Funkadactyls or The Bella Twins get a crack at the title, or does someone else offer a challenge?
WWE has largely ignored this story, but this is the last Raw before AJ would surpass Maryse, so there's an opportunity for drama that the company is likely to take advantage of.
As of last Friday's SmackDown, Brock Lesnar and Big Show are set to battle at the Royal Rumble.
