WWE Raw Next Week: Riddle vs. Sheamus, Contract Signing, More

WrestleMania Season is in its final stretch, and WWE wasted no time following last night's edition of WWE Smackdown before booking segments for next week's WWE Raw. Normally, we're lucky if WWE will announce one vague segment before the day of Raw, but this week, they've announced three.

Asuka and Rhea Ripley will sign the contract for their WrestleMania title match on WWE Raw next week.

Rhea Ripley and Asuka will sign the contract for their WrestleMania title match for Asuka's Raw Women's Championship next week on WWE Raw. Here's what the WWE.com press release had to say about the segment:

Rhea Ripley wasted no time making an impact on Raw, immediately setting her sights on Asuka's Raw Women's Title.

The Nightmare and The Empress will both be live on Raw this Monday to make their WrestleMania showdown official with a contract signing.

What will unfold when these two step into the same ring less than two weeks from The Show of Shows?

Speaking of champions, WWE Champion Bobby Lashley may be the All Mighty, but he seems awfully worried about facing Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania. Last week on Raw, Lashley put a bounty on Drew McIntyre's head, and this week on Raw, he's hoping somebody will collect. Unfortunately, Lashley must not have seen the movie 3 O'Clock High, or he would have learned that just as with Buddy Revell, Lashley will have to face his own bully himself if he wants his problem to go away.

Bobby Lashley is hoping someone will take out Drew McIntyre before their WrestleMania match, and he's willing to give up a WWE Championship shot to anyone who does it.

Here's what the WWE.com press release has to say about it:

Drew McIntyre just might have a target on his back.

After Shelton Benjamin & Cedric Alexander came up short last week, Bobby Lashley issued a challenge to the WWE locker room to anyone who can take out McIntyre before WrestleMania. In return, the Superstar who takes it upon himself to do so will receive a WWE Championship opportunity against The All Mighty.

Will anyone take up Lashley on his offer? McIntyre intends to find out exactly that.

Finally, an actual match. Yes, a match. On Raw. Sheamus will take on Riddle after Riddle annoyed the Celtic Warrior on Raw last week, prompting Sheamus to assault Riddle with his own scooter.

Sheamus will take on Riddle in a match to prove who's the toughest bro on WWE Raw this week.

Here's what the WWE.com press release has to say:

Was it something he said, bro?

After Sheamus slugged Riddle right in the gut with his own scooter, the United States Champion seeks some payback this Monday as he is set to square off with The Celtic Warrior in a non-title match on Raw.

Does The Original Bro have what it takes to put another notch in his win column, or will Sheamus get the best of him once more?

Will that be enough to fill three hours? Close, but not quite. Expect Vince McMahon to book a few more things at the last minute before WWE Raw next week. Or maybe during the show. Come to thing of it, who knows if Vince will change his mind and cancel these three segments? There's only one way to find out, and sadly, it means we have to watch the show.

A prophecy claims that in the comic book industry's darkest days, a hero would come to lead the people through a plague of overpriced floppies, incentive variant covers, #1 issue reboots, and super-mega-crossover events. Unfortunately, nobody can tell when the comics industry has reached its "darkest days" because it somehow keeps finding new lows to sink to. No matter! Jude Terror stands vigilant, bringing the snarkiest of comic book and pro wrestling clickbait to the undeserving readers of Bleeding Cool.
