Tonight, on the With Spandex WWE Raw open discussion thread:
After taking Charlotte Flair’s crown in her birthplace and namesake city of Charlotte, N.C., last Monday night, three-time Raw Women’s Champion Sasha Banks brings her newly won prize to Austin, Texas. How will The Queen deal with being usurped once again by her nemesis? (via WWE.com)
Our five-point preview:
1. Be sure you’ve read the Best and Worst of WWE TLC 2016. It doesn’t have anything to do with Raw, but hey, read it anyway.
2. In case you missed the debut of 205 Live, Rich Swann is the new Cruiserweight Champion. They’re also calling him “The Outlandish” Rich Swann, which is … almost a nickname? Oh Rich, you so outlandish!
3. Sasha Banks won the Women’s Championship in last week’s main event, so look for this week’s show to set up the Sasha vs. Charlotte Roadblock match that switches it back. Or like, magic, I don’t know.
4. Will Mick Foley gently condescend on Sami Zayn, then scream at him for standing up for himself again? Tune in to find out!
5. The show is in Austin tonight, which means I’ll be there live. If The Revival debuts in Demolition paint and destroys the New Day, I’ll be the one they’re carrying out of the arena in an ambulance. But don’t worry, I died happy.
