Looks like WWE Raw Preview is starting the week off with some reruns, or maybe it just feels that way?
With Drew McIntyre facing Randy Orton again, this time in a non-title match, the hype is low for fans.
Mainly because there is absolutely no reason for this match outside as a filler to set up other angles.
It’s nothing against either superstar, but they recently had an overly drawn out feud where they exchange the WWE Championship and it’s time for a switch.

Fans are simply tired of this feud at the moment and we doubt it’ll draw much interest through it’d be a solid match if it’s actually a match.
On the plus side, we think this match will be solely to develop both McIntyre and Orton’s separate feuds as Sheamus will no doubt play a hand in this one.
Most likely, he’ll go after Orton because he wants McIntyre or something along those lines.
As for Orton, this would be a great time for the Fiend to return to renew their feud, but that’s too obvious so we think Alexa Bliss will do something to cause Orton to lose the match again.
Either way, we don’t take the matchup seriously as it makes no sense except as a weak excuse to bring someone else in. It shouldn’t be worse than the Orton-Edge ending last week, right?
Charlotte Flair vs. Lacey Evans

What might @RicFlairNatrBoy have up his sleeve?! https://t.co/ZyuSwgirZM

This match has some possibilities as Evans has really grown over the last couple of years and we enjoy watching her work.
Flair’s another great performer (the best in the company, in our opinion), but she’s been over pushed as the center of attention, but this is a nice change of pace.
For us, Flair is at her best when she’s not in a championship run because that’s been so overdone, and now that she’s being forced to not only deal with a rival but her father as well, it has so much potential.
While we have to doubt Flair will be at her physical best and try to maul Evans tonight, the psychological game between her and Ric Flair will be fun to watch.
We’re also looking forward to seeing how much of Ric’s personality has rubbed off on Evans, and that should make this entertaining.
That being said, WWE Raw Preview can’t shake the feeling that this is going to be a quick match with a “shocking” ending with Evans winning as they build their rivalry.
What do you think will happen tonight?
