With Survivor Series War Games just 12 days away, the tension just keeps building up with every episode of RAW and SmackDown. And like every week, tonight’s RAW at the Capital One Arena in Washington is also packed with some adrenaline-pumping matches.

So here are some predictions for the matches that are lined up for RAW tonight.

1. Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship: Damian Priest & Finn Bálor vs. Jey Uso & Cody Rhodes

Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes definitely do not have to wait till Survivor Series to get their hands on The Judgment Day. Tonight on RAW they have a chance to redeem themselves and win back the tag titles they lost to Damian Priest & Finn Bálor.

Their loss in October really hurt Cody Rhodes and he would definitely like to make amends tonight. But when facing a member of The Judgment Day, the opponent knows very well that they are facing all 5 members in total. So, as always, The Judgment Day will for sure create some interference and thus help Priest and Bálor effortlessly retain their titles tonight.

2. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Otis

Shinsuke Nakamura’s feud with Alpha Academy continues tonight with a match against the highly energetic and flexible Otis. Last week on RAW, Nakamura defeated Akira Tozawa despite him putting in his best efforts.

Post the match, there was a stare-down between Otis and Shinsuke Nakamura which has led to tonight’s showdown. The King Of Strong Style definitely has an upper hand in tonight’s match. But Tozawa will be looking for some revenge for last week’s loss so he might create some distraction for Nakamura, thus giving his teammate Otis a chance to score a win tonight.

3. Piper Niven vs. Tegan Nox

Tegan Nox has a score to settle with both Chelsea Green and Piper Niven. Almost a month ago, Niven tried to interfere in Nox’s match with Green. But Natalya came to her aid and helped Nox claim a victory.

Now fresh after recovering from an injury she sustained on NXT, Nox will face Niven tonight on RAW. This match is crucial as a win will get Nox and Natalya a shot at the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. Although Nox is the clear favorite to win the match, chances are Chelsea Green will pop up to interfere during the match. This will give her partner Piper Niven the much-needed opportunity to deliver her finishing move and score a pinfall against Nox.

4. Xia Li vs. Indi Hartwell

Xia Li has been wreaking havoc on RAW by putting wrestlers from the women’s division on the injured list. First, it was Candice LeRae, and now last week it was Becky Lynch. Her ferocious roundhouse kicks are becoming quite a menace on RAW.

But Indi Hartwell has a chance tonight to put a stop to this madness once and for all. That said, Li is a force to be reckoned with and it will not be an easy battle for Hartwell. Li might end up viciously attacking Hartwell towards the end of the match. This will eventually lead to Becky Lynch coming out to seek revenge against Xia Li for last week’s brutal assault.

5. Tommaso Ciampa vs. Ludwig Kaiser

#DIY and Imperium have been at loggerheads for quite some time now. Last week Ludwig Kaiser added more fuel to the fire by costing #DIY a victory against The Creed Brothers.

Hence tonight, Tommaso Ciampa will be not only looking to seek retribution for last week’s loss. But will also use this opportunity to thrash Kaiser and put him in place. And this anger might very well help Ciampa secure a win tonight against Kaiser. Obviously, Johnny Gargano will be present ringside to prevent any interference by Imperium member Giovanni Vinci. This might lead to an altercation between Kaiser and Vinci, as Kaiser would have hoped for Vinci to help him win tonight.

6. The Miz Vs Ivar

Last week on RAW, The Miz won the Fatal 4-Way No. 1 Contender’s Match for Gunther’s Intercontinental Championship title. Post the match, The Awesome One was ruthlessly attacked by a frustrated Ivar who was seemingly upset by his loss.

This has given way to a match tonight on RAW. This will also be the first time The Miz faces Ivar in a singles competition. Ivar will be clearly looking to continue venting out of his frustration for last week’s loss. Both competitors are equally matched and hence this bout might not have a clear winner, resulting in a no-contest. And that’s when RAW GM Adam Pearce might appear to announce that the match for the Intercontinental Championship at Survivor Series has now become a triple-threat match involving The Miz, Ivar, and Gunther.
