WWE Raw Spoilers, Preview for Dec 21, 2015: Roman Reigns' First Slammy Awards as WWE Champion
WWE "Monday Night Raw" returns to Minneapolis for the Slammy Awards, and it's the first Monday broadcast since Roman Reigns became the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion.
With "Monday Night Raw's" ratings increasing last week, which featured Reigns winning and the return of Mr. McMahon, it's most likely confirmed McMahon will continue to appear on television -- at least as they prepare for the "Royal Rumble" pay per view. With "NXT TakerOver: London" over, Triple H will return with Stephanie McMahon as The Authority. As Sheamus told Reigns on "SmackDown," there is an "investigation" in regards to Reigns attacking Triple H at "TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs" and Mr. McMahon last "Raw." The Authority will likely set revenge on Reigns, but expected Reigns to go on attack mode.
In the divas division, it appears Paige is finally not in the title picture. WWE Divas Champion Charlotte and Becky Lynch appear to be the center of the title's storyline. Charlotte, and Ric Flair, has helped Lynch win her matches despite dirty tactics, and Lynch is not pleased with those actions. With the "Royal Rumble" still several weeks away, do not expect heavy tension between Lynch and Charlotte, but Paige could come around the corner to poke Lynch and fight Charlotte. Meanwhile, Team BAD has been sitting at ringside watching the Lynch-Charlotte storyline, and they will likely continue keeping an eye on its developments.
Former Intercontinental Champion Kevin Owens attacked Dolph Ziggler and current Intercontinental Champion Dean Ambrose last week. Likely setting up a triple threat match, Owens, Ziggler and Ambrose will continue their storyline.
WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day appear to have one-specific tag team seeking their titles: The Lucha Dragons. The team of Kalisto and Sin Cara continued to overcome the challenges set forth by Big E, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods and will either likely continue that momentum or New Day will slay the former NXT Tag Team Champions, The Lucha Dragons.
Meanwhile, voting has been or will be open during Monday for the following Slammy Award categories:
- Match of the Year
- Diva of the Year
- Breakout Star of the Year
- LOL! Moment of the Year
- Extreme Moment of the Year
- "This is Awesome!" Moment of the Year
- The OMG Shocking Moment of the Year
- The Hero in All of Us Award, presented by Coca-Cola
"Monday Night Raw" airs weekly on the USA Network at 8 p.m. EST.
