Welcome to Raw in Advance for 3/18/24, where we take a look at what’s been announced for this week’s show at the PNC Arena in Raleigh, NC.
Last week, Raw General Manager Adam Pearce and Smackdown General Manager Nick Aldis announced a tag team tournament.
The winners qualified for the Six Pack Challenge Ladder Match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship with The Judgment Day.
The three qualifying matches scheduled for Raw are New Day vs. Alpha Academy, DIY vs. Creed Brothers, and Miz/R-Truth vs. Indus Sher.
As we saw on Smackdown, their qualification matches were considered quarterfinal matches instead of win, and you’re in the ladder match. Will the Raw matches follow the same format? That has not been made clear yet.
Raw in Advance for 3/18/24
The New Day vs. Alpha Academy
The New Day face the Alpha Academy’s Otis and Akira Tozawa in our first qualification match. The New Day has been battling Imperium in recent weeks and looks to get back on track with their qualification match.
Alpha Academy is also looking to get back on track after Master Gable lost last week’s Gauntlet Match for the Intercontinental Championship match at WrestleMania. Which team will get back on the Road to WrestleMania?
Raw in Advance for 3/18/24
DIY vs. Creed Brothers
DIY has been in a small feud with Judgment Day recently, helping out R-Truth after his “removal” from Judgment Day. DIY has faced Judgment Day for the titles and came up just a little bit short.
Can they cash in on another opportunity? The Creed Brothers also came up short against The Judgment Day in a title match. Can they make the most of this opportunity to get a second chance at the tag champs?
Raw in Advance for 3/18/24
The Miz & R-Truth vs. Indus Sher
The Miz has been helping his former Awesome Truth partner, R-Truth, in recent weeks after Truth was “kicked out” of The Judgment Day. Standing between them and some payback on Judgment Day is Indus Sher.
Will Awesome Truth reunite to get one step closer to Judgment Day and the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship? Will the much larger Indus Sher squash their WrestleMania dreams?
Raw in Advance for 3/18/24
Becky Lynch vs. Nia Jax
(Last Woman Standing Match)
Nia Jax has been attacking Becky Lynch in recent weeks, including during last week’s match with Liv Morgan. After the match, Jax again attacked Lynch and Morgan backstage to set this match up.
Will this be Lynch’s final speedbump on her Road to WrestleMania as Rhea Ripley’s Women’s World Championship?
Will Jax overcome Lynch to make a play for Lynch’s WrestleMania title match? Is Liv Morgan going to make an appearance and/or figure into the finish of this match?
Raw in Advance for 3/18/24
Intercontinental Championship Contract Signing
Just announced! GUNTHER will put pen to paper for his match with last week’s Gauntlet Match winner Sami Zayn. Will this be a typical WWE contract signing with a fight breaking out?
With some pictures floating around showing that Chad Gable’s shoulders were not down during the three count to end the Gauntlet Match, will Gable try to make a case for a WrestleMania match?
After The Rock’s concert performance on Smackdown, what did Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins think of the performance? Will they respond to it on Raw or will they wait until Smackdown to respond to The Great One?
There we have it. The card looks good with the tag team qualification matches. What else is going to happen? Find out this Monday at 8 ET/7 CT on USA or wherever you watch.
