WWE Raw TV Preview 5/16

WWE returns to Greensboro, N.C. on Monday night for the final Raw episode leading into the Extreme Rules PPV.

The main focus is on WWE World Hvt. champion Roman Reigns and A.J. Styles heading into their PPV title match. Styles missed the weekend house show tour due to an injury, but he tweeted that he will be ready for Raw.

The other big item WWE has set up for Raw is follow-up on Chris Jericho putting Dean Ambrose in a straight-jacket on the last Smackdown. WWE has yet to announce a match between them for Extreme Rules.

Plus, the former Colons (Primo & Epico) are scheduled to return to Raw TV as the Shining Stars representing Puerto Rico.

It’s also Week 3 of Shane and Stephanie McMahon running Raw together. The question is whether Stephanie will continue to be a nice person or crack from the pressure of playing nice with Shane.

The full advertised roster includes Reigns & The Usos, The Club (A.J. Styles & Karl Anderson & Doc Gall0ws), Jericho, Ambrose, Kevin Owens, IC champion The Miz (w/Maryse), tag champs New Day, and Women’s champion Charlotte (w/Ric Flair in Flair Country).

Plus, ring announcer Lilian Garcia is scheduled to return to Raw.
