Raw Preview, Sept. 8: Valkyria vs. Rodriguez, Plus AJ Lee And Nikki Bella

Raw will be coming to you from Milwaukee Wisconsin and the show should be a great follow up from SmackDown as we head towards Wrestlepalooza.



First, it has been confirmed by Raw General Manager Adam Pearce that Lyra Valkyria will face Raquel Rodriguez. Her concerns for Bayley continue, but Valkyria needs to get back in the ring. After some words with the Judgment Day last week, she will get her hands on Rodriguez.

Next, unless you haven’t connected to any news outlet in the last two days, then the knowledge of AJ Lee’s return shouldn’t be new news. Lee broke the sound barrier on Friday night in Chicago as she has made her return to WWE after 10 years. She went right for Becky Lynch and took her down to avenge CM Punk in their home city. She will be present at the show on Monday to likely set up the mix tag team announcement for Wrestlepalooza.

Plus, Nikki Bella has confirmed herself that she will be at the show. Nikki lost to Becky Lynch at Clash in Paris for the Women’s IC Title. Now with Lee back in the company, where does this lead Nikki next? She showed respect for IYO SKY last week who will be taking on Stephanie Vaquer for the vacant Women’s World Title at Wrestlepalooza in less than two weeks.
