Two title bouts, steel cage match announced for WWE Raw is XXX
Two title bouts, a steel cage match, WWE legends appearing, and a Bloodline acknowledgment ceremony are set for Raw is XXX on Monday, January 23.
Bobby Lashley won a six-way elimination match on Monday’s Raw to determine a number one contender to Austin Theory’s United States Championship, and will challenge Theory for the title next week at Raw is XXX.
The Raw Tag Team titles will also be on the line in Philadelphia, as The Usos will defend against Dominik Mysterio and Damian Priest of The Judgment Day. Mysterio and Priest won a gauntlet match on last week’s Raw to become top contenders to the titles. After months of defending the Raw and SmackDown titles as a unified Tag Team Championship, The Usos will defend each title separately going forward.
In another match set for Raw is XXX, Becky Lynch will face Bayley inside a steel cage. Lynch issued a challenge to Bayley for the bout on Monday’s Raw, and Bayley accepted.
A Bloodline acknowledgement ceremony has also been announced for next week, with Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns appearing on the show.
