Match cards for WWE Raw 04/22

The red brand show will start at the usual time and viewers will be able to stream it through their respective local distributors. The following appearances are bound to take place during the night:

Former IC Champion returns

Gunther suffered an unexpected defeat at WrestleMania XL. After the longest Intercontinental Championship reign, The Ring General lost to Sami Zayn at the biggest PLE of all time. He is set to make a return to the promotion on Monday Night Raw tonight.

Prediction: Gunther is likely to return to feud with the current WWE Heavyweight Champion, moving on from his past defeat.

WWE gets a new Women’s Champion

Rhea Ripley had to vacate her precious title last week on Raw because of an injury she suffered, courtesy of another co-star. Tonight, fans will witness a women’s battle royale match to crown a brand new Women’s Champion while Ripley recovers from her injury.

Prediction: Although no contenders have been revealed as such, Becky Lynch could end up bagging the gold as she has had previous experience with the title and was also a solid competition at WrestleMania XL.

World Tag Team Championship bout

DIY turned out to be the final contenders for the newly introduced World Tag Team Championship belts. This week, they are set to face the champions, The Awesome Truth (C), in a title bout.

Prediction: The champions could end up retaining the gold because of the hype they are getting from the fanbase.

The Judgment Day vs an interesting tag team

Ricochet and Andrade found out that they are on the same side recently when the latter proved to be a babyface. One thing that binds them is their dislike for the Judgment Day. So, fans will see the two wrestlers going up against Dominik Mysterio and JD McDonagh.

Prediction: There is a possibility that these two Judgment Day members retain their losing streak unless the evil faction has some plans already cooking behind the curtains.

Potential WWE Heavyweight Championship bout

Another big match could be waiting for Judgment Day as Jey Uso takes on Damian Priest for his new WWE Heavyweight Championship. Although it isn’t official yet, we may have to wait for the night to unravel this match for us.

As always, WWE didn’t have all the cards revealed ahead of time to maintain the suspense of the show. We are aware of three matches taking place, two of which are title bouts. Are you excited about Monday Night Raw tonight? Comment your honest thoughts below.
