Announced Matches for WWE

Raw General Manager has announced three matches for tonight, two of them are singles matches, while one will be the tag team title match.

AJ Styles & Dragon Lee (c) vs The War Raiders (Erik & Ivar), WWE Tag Team title match

AJ Styles and Dragon Lee, after successfully defending their tag team title against The New Day last week, asked for a tougher challenge. They asked Adam Pearce to bring back the War Raiders for a match. They will now face each other in a high-stakes match where the WWE tag team title will be on the line.

Prediction: The match to be interrupted by the New Day.

Rey Mysterio vs. Finn Balor

Rey Mysterio and Dominic Mysterio have been at each other’s throats for a long time. Rey Mysterio has never liked his son’s ways. He recently confronted Dominic Mysterio after the latter won the match against John Cena with the help of Judgment Day, especially Liv Morgan. The backstage tension unfolded into a match between him and Finn Balor.

Prediction: Finn Balor is speculated to win, and Judgment Day is to assault Rey Mysterio.

Lyra Valkyria vs Roxanne Perez

Lyra Valkyria and Roxanne Perez will reignite their rivalry tonight when they face each other in a singles match. Judgment Day has been wreaking havoc on Monday Night Raw ever since the return of Liv Morgan. They unofficially targeted the women’s locker room last week. They will have their first official target when Roxanne Perez faces Lyra Valkyria on Monday Night Raw tonight.

Prediction: Roxanne Perez will win the match, and Judgment Day will assault Lyra Valkyria and Bayley after the match.
