Tonight’s Monday Night Raw in Washington, D.C., is the go-home show for WrestleMania 30. Will we see Daniel Bryan return to face off with Triple H? And what will happen with Undertaker and Brock Lesnar in the other big money match on the ‘Mania show?
(All apologies to Randy Orton and Batista, whose main-event match for the WWE title only gets interesting if Bryan wins his way in.)
Expect to see Bryan back from his storyline injury tonight in some capacity. It will be dramatic, sure, but that’s what go-home shows are supposed to do, add drama to the storyline heading into the big show.
Also expect to see some sort of confrontation between Undertaker and Lesnar. Not sure how that one’s going to end up looking at ‘Mania. Lesnar’s MMA style doesn’t seem to mesh well with ‘Taker and his more old school approach. The CM Punk-Undertaker match at WM 29 may have been, in retrospect, the best way to have sent off ‘Taker into the WWE twilight.
More drama will be added to John Cena-Bray Wyatt, a match with a lot of promise for WM 30, but that promise will be muted when WWE refuses to job Cena to Wyatt, and instead tries to shove a narrow Cena clean fall win as an elevation for a character that it is trying to build into its biggest heel.
The rest of the show … who cares?
