WWE Raw preview, May 22, 2017: Will Bray Wyatt change the course of WWE's New Era?

Last week’s Raw proved that it will be every man for himself when Roman Reigns, Finn Bálor, Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt and Samoa Joe clash in an Extreme Rules Fatal 5-Way Match at WWE Extreme Rules for the right to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. The Eater of Worlds stood tall last Monday night, but will the sinister Wyatt maintain that momentum this week? WWE.com has some ideas.
Tensions rise en route to Extreme opportunity



There will be no friends to be found when Roman Reigns, Finn Bálor, Seth Rollins, Bray Wyatt and Samoa Joe clash at WWE Extreme Rules for the opportunity to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship. With this anticipated and historic Extreme Rules Fatal 5-Way Match looming, it’s The Eater of Worlds who appears most dominant after concluding last week’s show by laying waste to both The Kingslayer and Samoa Joe with Sister Abigail.

Will Wyatt similarly stand tall in the five-man melee at WWE Extreme Rules, potentially changing the course of WWE’s New Era in the process? Stay tuned.
Will Bayley come out swinging against Alexa Bliss?



Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss claims that Bayley doesn’t have what it takes to get extreme, but “The Goddess of WWE” might be forced to change her tune when she defends her title against the former champion in a Kendo Stick on a Pole Match at WWE Extreme Rules on Sunday, June 4.

Bliss laid into Bayley both verbally and physically last week, nearly breaking a kendo stick across the back of the beloved Superstar in a sadistic assault that inspired Bayley to choose the bout’s stipulation to repay Little Miss Bliss in kind. But can Bayley wait until WWE Extreme Rules for some sweet, sweet kendo stick retribution?
Ambrose faces bizarre stipulation at WWE Extreme Rules



After The Miz attempted to steal the Intercontinental Championship with a low blow while the referee’s back was turned this past Monday night, Dean Ambrose retaliated by giving The A-Lister a swift kick to the co-stars. The attack gave Miz the disqualification victory, but not the championship.

Enraged by Ambrose’s below-the-belt attack — which was clearly an unintentional move by the fighting champion — The A-Lister demanded a rematch at WWE Extreme Rules, and if The Lunatic Fringe is disqualified in that bout, Miz will be awarded his seventh Intercontinental Title.

Ambrose is known for getting out of hand from time to time (he once stole a hot dog cart from Coney Island, after all), so this WWE Extreme Rules stipulation puts the champion in a perilous position. Will The Lunatic Fringe be able to keep his cool and his title?
Goldust shows his true colors



After a string of unfortunate losses, including a misfired attempt at a career comeback in the No. 1 Contenders’ Tag Team Turmoil Match on the May 8 Raw, The Golden Truth is no more. Enraged and seemingly blaming his newly former partner for their inability to pick up victories in recent months, Goldust ruthlessly assaulted R-Truth this past Monday night, punctuating the brutality by spitting his longtime friend’s catchphrase, “That’s what’s up!,” back in his face.

Now that he’s severed his ties with R-Truth, what’s next for The Bizarre One? Will the former Intercontinental Champion address his heinous actions?

Don’t miss Raw at 8/7 C on USA Network.

Why the hell didn't they just do a Street Fight or something for Dean/Miz???? A match at Extreme Rules where you LOSE if you do something that would get you DQed, for fuck's sake. UGH.

Still interested to see how they'll build up this, considering how long Dean & Miz have been feuding now.

Also interested in more fatal 5 way hype too.

Well I think there setting up Miz winning the IC title at Extreme Rules. So this will be there way of having Ambrose stay strong and drop the title to Miz. Since he won't get beat by Miz and will get screwed out of the title. I can even see some nonsense like Ambrose hitting dirty deeds. Then Maryse jumping in the ring to attack Miz before Ambrose can cover him. So that Ambrose gets dqed and Miz wins the IC title.

This program and those storylines are so godawful, it's not even funny anymore.

But Bayley takes the cake and is the best example for why this company is a humongous grave for both talent and entertainment.

Smackdown is my favourite show, but Jinder winning the title is going to ruin that show for me, so hopefully Raw can grab my interest. As others have mentioned, having a match at Extreme Rules where the champion isn't allowed to get disqualified is just stupid.

Will be watching but really not looking forward to this week one bit. RAW really blows without having Strowman around. He's my current favorite, so I'm biased, but other then Alexa shitting on people I'm not invested in anything on RAW right now. Well, time to start drinking.

It appears that Bayley’s battle scars are not fading anytime soon.

WWE.com obtained backstage photos of The Huggable One bearing the marks left by Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss’ Kendo stick attack last week on Raw, including one of an incredulous Mickie James reacting to the injuries.

Tune in to Raw tonight live at 8/7 C on USA Network to see how The Huggable One responds to the champion’s aggression.
