Two matches official for next week’s WWE Raw
While the first night of the Superstar Shakeup will be the focus for much of the episode, WWE has announced two matches for next week’s Raw.
Sasha Banks vs. Bayley and The Revival vs. Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt in the finals of WWE’s mini “tag team eliminator” tournament are set. Kurt Angle announced the tournament last night after Braun Strowman & Nicholas vacated the Raw Tag Team titles. The winning team will face Cesaro & Sheamus at the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia on April 27th to decide the new champions.
Bayley was at ringside for Banks’ match against Mandy Rose last night. She went to clothesline Rose on the outside but missed and accidentally hit Banks, which led to Rose getting the win.
At the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal on Sunday, Bayley eliminated Banks after they had worked together and went to slap hands when they thought they were the only two left. Naomi then threw Bayley out of the ring.
While appearing on television for the first time since the Ultimate Deletion, Wyatt helped Hardy win the 2018 Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34. They defeated Titus Worldwide in their first tag team eliminator match, with The Revival beating Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson.
The Superstar Shakeup will begin on Monday’s Raw and then finish up on SmackDown.
