The season premiere of Monday Night Raw will emanate from the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. As expected, WWE has lined up several hard-hitting encounters and a few appearances for the show. Most notably, Calgary’s own Bret “The Hitman” Hart will be in attendance for WWE Raw.

Additionally, Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair will defend their tag team titles against The Unholy Union in a Bash in Berlin rematch. The rivalry between The Wyatt Sicks and American Made will come to a head with an 8-person tag team street fight. Dragon Lee competes against Dominik Mysterio while a six-woman tag team match will take place.

Furthermore, a fatal-4 way to decide the #1 contender for the Intercontinental Championship will occur on Raw. The likes of Gunther, Rhea Ripley, and Liv Morgan are also expected to appear on the show. With that said, here are five bold predictions for the season premiere episode of Raw:

Natalya returns to team up with Lyra Valkyria and Zelina Vega

Another member of The Hart Family could appear on tonight’s show. Natalya, who’s been absent for months, might finally make her return on Raw. Last week, The Pure Fusion Collective sent a bold statement after laying out Zelina Vega and Lyra Valkyria. Later in the night, Valkyria talked about bringing backup for their match on the season premiere.

Having said that, the platform for a Natalya comeback has been laid out well. Since signing a new deal with WWE, Nattie hasn’t appeared on television. In addition to that, her last on-screen appearance saw her teasing a future storyline with the faction. Regardless, fans are eagerly awaiting the return of The Queen of Harts on WWE programming.

Bronson Reed returns and wrecks havoc on Monday Night Raw again

Bronson Reed‘s momentum came to an unfortunate halt last week after he tested positive for COVID. Not only did he miss the taping, but he was replaced in the Intercontinental title tournament by Braun Strowman. As such, the Aussie monster wasn’t happy about the decision. Reed voiced his displeasure on social media, asking why the man he had Tsunami’d through a car was taking his place.

If the 36-year-old star has recovered from COVID, he’ll definitely be in town for Raw. Moreover, he’ll be demanding an explanation from GM Adam Pearce. It won’t be surprise if he ends up interfering in the fatal-4 way and costs Strowman the opportunity. The rivalry between the two giants is far from over, and fans are hoping to see more from them in the coming weeks.

Fatal-4 way #1 contenders match concludes with two winners

Bron Breakker will finally find out who he’ll be facing next on tonight’s episode of Raw. Jey Uso, Pete Dunne, Ilja Dragunov, and Braun Strowman will compete in a fatal 4-way match to determine the #1 contender. WWE could pull off a surprise in a result by having two men emerge victorious. Given that Dunne and Strowman are busy with other feuds, Uso and Dragunov might win at the same time.

The duo could pin the other two men at the same time, resulting in a triple-threat match for Breakker. The latter has had issues with both Uso and Dragunov. Hence, WWE might be planning to have the Intercontinental Champion settle his differences at the same time. At the moment, there is no confirmation on whether this match will be taking place at Bad Blood.

Drew McIntyre lays down Bad Blood challenge to CM Punk

On last week’s Raw, Drew McIntyre unleashed a hellacious assault on his rival, CM Punk. Following his humiliating loss at Bash in Berlin, The Scotsman finally had enough of the trolling. Apart from delivering four vicious Claymore kicks, McIntyre broke Punk’s family bracelet and shoved the beads down his throat. As a result of the attack, the latter was stretchered out of the arena.

Punk will most likely miss the season premiere episode of WWE Raw. However, McIntyre won’t miss out on the opportunity to gloat about his actions. In fact, The Scottish Warrior could challenge the former AEW wrestler to a third and final encounter. By the looks of it, this bout is expected to take place at Bad Blood. More importantly, the personal rivalry can conclude inside Hell in a Cell.

Gunther sends a message to Sami Zayn by assaulting Bret Hart

Gunther has been known as a wrestler to never back down from a fight. However, the World Heavyweight Champion surprisingly declined Sami Zayn‘s challenge on last week’s episode of Raw. Zayn claimed that Gunther was afraid of a repetition of WrestleMania XL. The Canadian star ended his record-breaking Intercontinental Championship reign and became the first person to pin him on the main roster at the Show of Shows.

On tonight’s Raw, reports suggest that Bret Hart will be involved in this storyline. Zayn’s childhood hero might confront Gunther and try to convince him to accept the challenge. Hart won’t mince his words while speaking to The Ring General. In fact, the latter could lay his hands on the Hall of Famer if things go south. As such, this would prompt Zayn to make the save, turning this rivalry into a personal matter between both men.
