How will Brock Lesnar respond to Braun Strowman’s destructive message?
Before sending Big Show crashing through the steel cage wall to conclude last week’s Raw, Braun Strowman - standing over the supine body of the defeated giant - took the mic to make one thing painfully clear to Brock Lesnar: “At No Mercy, this right here is your future, and mine is becoming the new Universal Champion!” Can we expect an equally forceful response from The Beast Incarnate, live on Raw?

Will John Cena and Roman Reigns’ deeply personal rivalry continue to escalate?
John Cena and Roman Reigns have held nothing back in their escalating war of words, and based on their recent exchange on Twitter, they’re not done eviscerating each other on the microphone before their monumental clash at WWE No Mercy. As we’ve already seen, nothing is off limits between these two Superstars. If they cross paths on Raw, it won’t be pretty.

Are Alexa Bliss’ days numbered as Raw Women’s Champion?
What was once a singles rematch at WWE No Mercy pitting Sasha Banks against Raw Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss has transformed into a Fatal 4-Way Match that also includes Nia Jax and Emma after the two earned their way into the title bout by picking up a tag team victory over The Boss and Little Miss Bliss last week. There’s no love lost between any of the competitors in this matchup, but with Jax and the opportunistic Emma added to the mix, the so-called “Goddess of WWE’s” chances of leaving the STAPLES Center with the Raw Women’s Title are slim to none. Will these unfavorable odds shake Alexa’s confidence as WWE No Mercy approaches?

Can the man behind The Demon conquer Bray Wyatt?
At WWE No Mercy, Finn Bálor - not The Demon - will lock up with Bray Wyatt in a “man-to-man” confrontation that could potentially play out far differently than their battle at SummerSlam. Can Bálor prove his dominance over the twisted Eater of Worlds without the aid of his Demon persona, or will Wyatt silence Bálor Club by conquering the Irishman?

Am I the only one not interested in Balor vs Wyatt? Cena vs Reigns has been more interesting that I thought it would be. Obvious highlight will be the Strowman and Lesnar feud. Really looking forward to that match at No Mercy.

The Miz is up there with Heyman as my favourite guy on the mic right now. Yet another awesome promo from him last night.

Raw started again with a match, and one that went 15 minutes. WTF is going on? It's how Raw should start, as usually 15 minutes in I'm bored senseless wondering if the promo will ever end. Spending that time on a match is a much better way to kick off a show.

Cena again had a good promo. Really it was the promos that made this Raw better than it should have been - that and the first match of the night. Strowman is looking great and I hope they do something with this push and not do a Wyatt where he's talked up and up and looks great on TV shows before getting to a PPV and booked like shit. Keep the Strowman push going. He's turned out way better than I ever imagined.

Yeah the Miz is killing it at the moment. Although I'm not sure why he's talking with Enzo. I figured with 205 Live we'd be seeing less of him. Need more of the Miz though, and if they're really expecting a baby and it's not part of a stupid story, then congratulations to them.

Interesting news on the Miz announcement:

With Miz and Maryse announcing their pregnancy live on Monday's Raw, it appears that barely anyone in WWE actually knew they were expecting or that they would be making it public on the show. The duo cleared the announcement with a few key people, while pretty much everyone else in the back was taken by surprise.

Also on Vince... the crazy bastard:

The head-butt that Vince McMahon received from Kevin Owens that caused him to bleed badly was very much planned, despite McMahon's prior insistence that blood isn't allowed to be shown on TV.

While the exact details of how Vince pulled it off is unclear, it is believed that he may have bladed himself before the angle even took place and used some sort of nu-skin to cover it up. When Owens connected with the head-butt, it re-opened the wound and lead to the bleeding.

Vince likely did blade himself before the headbutt. In Japan you see guys just fucking kill each other with headbutts and they rarely bleed at all... That being said i'm not sure what to think of this... its kinda dumb of Vince to do that... especially with all those concussion related lawsuits.. also the guy is like 72 years old.

Vince is known for telling his opponents to bring it hard... mostly because vince does not know how to sell moves as he never had proper training for it. Jericho, Austin and Orton have all confirmed this before.
