Two matches official for WWE Raw next week
A cruiserweight number one contender’s match and Braun Strowman vs. Kane are set for next week’s episode of Raw.
Drew Gulak will be facing Rich Swann on the show after stealing the pin from Cedric Alexander in a fatal four-way match that also involved Mustafa Ali and Tony Nese last night. Swann won a fatal four-way the previous week to get his spot in the number one contender’s match. The winner of Gulak vs. Swann will receive the next shot at Enzo Amore’s Cruiserweight title.
Tonight’s 205 Live will be built around an angle where Gulak is in charge of The Zo Train with Amore not on the show.
WWE has been building to Strowman vs. Kane since October’s TLC PPV, but their match will be the first time they’ve officially wrestled on television since their program started. Strowman destroyed Elias this week, then Kane appeared on the video screen to challenge him after they had taken turns laying each other out over the last couple of weeks.
