RAW in Ireland

There are 2 title matches tonight on the card with homow town heros.

**World Heavyweight Championship: CM Punk vs. Finn Bálor. The big question is this: Can CM Punk handle the hostile crowd, who will be in Finn’s corner, needing to keep his momentum heading to Saturday Night’s Main Event? I can’t see the title changing hands, but it’s going to be a war. This could be a classic match. Finn returned to his original theme song, “Catch Your Breath.” It was so loud that Finn couldn’t even hear the music. This was a war in every sense of the word, with CM hanging on to the belt. Post-match, Punk helped Finn up, raising his hand. A massive sign of respect. There have been rumours that Finn is turning babyface and returning to singles action. It is time, I think, Judgement Day held him back from what he could have achieved.

**The Women’s I.C Title as Becky Lynch defends against Maxxine Dupri. We all know that Becky used the ropes, stealing the win. This is Becky’s backyard. Can Maxx do the unthinkable by beating the man? Natalya at ringside would be the deciding factor that no one was coming. Nattie helped Becky keep the belt, then turned on Maxx. This sets up a storyline that no one saw coming. Nattie trained Maxx in the dungeon, but here is the question? Has the teacher taught the student everything, or does Maxx have a few things up her sleeve?

**6-man Tag Team match with Rey Mysterio/Dragon Lee/Penta going to battle with The Vision’s Bronson Reed/Austin Theory/Logan Paul. This is going to be pure chaos to day the least. My question is, can Logan Paul get along with Bronson Reed? Thanks to the help from Adam Pearce, along with brass knuckles, the babyfaces won with dirty tricks.

**Once again, Gunther is showing up. No clue as to why or what he wants, but he is going to brag about beating John Cena and AJ Styles. The Stakes: AJ Styles vs. Gunther is a Career vs. Rematch match. Give AJ a DQ win, which moves the final match to Wrestlemania, giving him the anniversary retirement. If AJ loses, he has to retire. Not on a Saturday night. AJ’s retirement is a moment that needs to be special. AJ told Adam Pearce that he called his wife, and she told him to “kick his ass.” This match is taking place at the Royal Rumble.

**Je’Von Evans against El Grande Americano. Je’Von was injured during a commercial. (reported later that Je’von was cleared)

Rhea/Iyo cut a promo as they are heading to the Royal Rumble to compete. They face Liv Morgan/Roxanne Perez for the Women’s Tag Title, but they will have issues in the ring when they are attacked by Liv/Roxy/Raquel. I can’t see the titles changing hands, Rhea/Iyo too popular right now. Would love to see the titles stay with Rhea/Iyo til Wrestlemania.
