Monday Night Raw Preview 5/5/14: Extreme Rules fallout for Daniel Bryan, The Shield and John Cena
The May 5, 2014 edition of WWE's Monday Night Raw will emanate live from the Times Union Center in Albany at 8 p.m. Eastern and will feature all the fallout from Extreme Rules on Sunday night.
Daniel Bryan retained his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Kane on Sunday night after he put his former tag team partner through a flaming table and then pinned him after a running knee. But as Bryan celebrated on the entrance ramp, Kane sat up and lit his fire to let Bryan know that he wasn't done with him yet. Will the Devil's Favorite Demon continue to assault the champion and his wife, Brie Bella, tonight? Or will Bryan face a new challenger for Payback next month?
The Shield vanquished Evolution after a tremendous war that spilled all over the arena. Seth Rollins dove off a balcony to take out Triple H and Randy Orton, while Roman Reigns nailed Batista with a Superman Punch and a spear to pin the Animal and earn the win for his team. Where will the two sides go from here? Did the Shield's win end the feud, or will Evolution try to get revenge against the young team that has dominated WWE for more than a year?
John Cena nearly defeated the entire Wyatt Family inside a steel cage, but a child named Little Johnny stopped him at the cage door with some extremely creepy singing that rattled the leader of the Cenation. Bray then planted him with Sister Abigail and walked out of the cage. How will Cena respond to the loss tonight on Raw? Bray's message has now spread to the children, the core of the Cenation, so where does Cena go from here? And how will Little Johnny factor into this feud?
Cesaro defeated Jack Swagger and Rob Van Dam on Sunday night, so what's the next step for the Paul Heyman Guy after besting his two opponents? Will he set his sights higher, or will Jack Swagger continue to take shots at his former partner?
Elsewhere, Paige retained her Divas Championship against Tamina, so who will her next challenger be? Bad News Barrett also won the Intercontinental Championship from Big E., but will a new challenger emerge to try and take the belt from him? Alexander Rusev also squashed R-Truth and Xavier Woods, but will the Bulgarian Brute continue his rampage?
Adam Rose is also supposed to debut tonight, so keep an eye out for his express bus on the show.
As always, check back with MStars after the show for a complete recap of all the action. But for now, let us know what you expect from tonight's episode of Raw in the comments below.
