This week’s Raw is set to be a major milestone on the road to WrestleMania. Taking place in Brussels, Belgium, it marks the first Raw from Europe this year. WWE has stacked the lineup, featuring the highly anticipated return of John Cena. With WrestleMania less than a month away, the excitement for Raw is at an all-time high.

Several storylines still need a spark, and tonight could be the night that kicks the build for Mania 41 into high gear. The show is already stacked with a title match, a contract signing, a No Holds Barred match between Penta and Ludwig Kaiser, and a highly anticipated face-off between Cody Rhodes and Cena.

Let’s discuss 5 BOLD predictions for WWE Raw 17/3:

5. Jey Uso to suffer a huge loss

Tonight on Raw, Jey Uso takes on Austin Theory in a heated grudge match. After a tough clash with A-Town Down Under a few weeks ago, Main Event Jey has found himself at odds with Theory and Grayson Waller. Now, he looks to settle the score with the former United States Champion as he gears up for his huge title match against Gunther at WrestleMania.

However, The Ring General might have other plans for Jey Uso tonight. He could interfere in the match to ensure the 39-year-old doesn’t gain the upper hand. By doing so, Gunther could look to derail the former Intercontinental Champion’s momentum heading into their WrestleMania showdown.

4. Seth Rollins to snap after Roman Reigns ambush

Last week on Raw, Roman Reigns brutally attacked Seth Rollins and CM Punk, igniting even more tension between the three. Since then, all three stars have been eager for payback. It’s no secret that The Visionary despises The OTC, and tonight, he may reveal his next move as he prepares to take on this ruthless version of The Tribal Chief on the road to WrestleMania.

In a scathing promo, the former World Heavyweight Champion could call out The Head of the Table with a WrestleMania challenge. The segment might also see The Best in the World stir the pot, accusing Rollins of tarnishing his legacy by relying on Reigns to beat him. This tension could quickly escalate into a brawl, with The Visionary possibly dismantling The Second City Saint.

3. IYO SKY to get hospitalized

Iyo Sky has been the focal point of the Women’s World Championship picture since becoming the champion on Monday Night Raw. However, last week, she delivered wicked slaps to Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley before walking out of the ring. While a true babyface like The EST might forget about the slap, it might not sit well with the ruthless Eradicator.

In a shocking twist, Mami might unleash her fury on the Japanese superstar tonight. With a ruthless attack filled with chair shots and brutal moments, Ripley could leave Sky bloodied and stretchered out. This could be her way of taking the 34-year-old out of the title picture and securing her spot in the Women’s World Title match at WrestleMania.

2. The Judgment Day to betray Finn Balor

Tensions have been brewing within The Judgment Day for weeks, but last week, Dominik Mysterio shocked everyone by securing an Intercontinental Title match for Finn Balor against Bron Breakker. Given ‘Dirty’ Dom’s history of betrayal, his actions seemed unexpected—maybe even suspicious. There’s a good chance he has something up his sleeve tonight.

There’s a real chance that Mysterio might cost The Prince his match against Breakker tonight. In a shocking twist, ‘Dirty’ Dom could land a cheap shot on Balor, giving the Intercontinental Champion the opening he needs to retain. After the loss, Mysterio and the rest of The Judgment Day could take things a step further, launching a brutal attack to officially kick Balor out of the faction.

1. John Cena to attack Cody Rhodes

John Cena is set to appear on tonight’s Monday Night Raw in Belgium, marking his first appearance since his shocking heel turn at Elimination Chamber. While WWE is billing the segment as a face-off between WrestleMania opponents, Cena might have something else up his sleeve.

Before even stepping into the ring, The Cenation Leader might ambush The American Nightmare from behind. With vicious chair shots and strikes from his weight belt, Cena could leave Rhodes battered before even addressing the fans. This brutal attack would further establish this new, ruthless side of the 16-time WWE Champion—one willing to go to any lengths to get what he wants.
