Raw Preview

Tonight is the "Go Home Show" for Raw as we head into Night of Champions. There are a lot of things I'm looking for tonight , so let's jump into it.

Dean Ambrose Needs an Opponent
If Curtis Axel doesn't get to have a title match at Night of Champions, then every other champion definitely should. Dean Ambrose, the United States Champion last had a singles match at Summer Slam's Kick Off with Rob Van Dam for the US title. Since then, RVD has moved on to bigger things, pairing up with Ricardo Rodriguez to rival with World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio. Dean, on the other hand, hasn't been booked as good. Recently, Dean has been stirring up trouble with Dolph Ziggler. He attacked Dolph before his match with Ryback, and distracted him during his rematch with "The Big Guy" on Smackdown. I could see them taking this rivalry to a title match at Night of Champions, but I think Dolph is above that by now. Putting Dolph in this match may take him back in importance. No matter what, I know Dean vs Dolph could possibly steal the show.

AJ Lee & Friends
On Friday Night Smackdown, AJ Lee was able to get some of the other heel divas to work with her to attack the "Total Divas", or the divas that star on the show "Total Divas". The plan was a success, and I expect them to build on that tonight, hopefully with a match that includes either AJ, Layla or Natalya. Natalya wasn't attacked on Smackdown, so probably not her.

The Real Americans are Gearing Up for The Titles
After coming off a big victory over the Usos on Smackdown, The Real Americans might have taken the #1 Contender's spot for the Tag Team Championships. I honestly don't remember, so correct me if I'm wrong. As I've said before I am a huge fan of Antonio Cesaro, and Jack Swagger is not bad either. Cesaro works great in a tag team. I think giving them the titles would be great! Personally, I want to see a triple threat tag team match between The Shield, Usos, and Real Americans. I think that will happen later down the line.

Randy Orton vs Goldust
Goldust will return tonight fight for his brother's career. After a great match with Orton, Cody Rhodes was fired for not winning. Goldust didn't take too kindly to this and began attacking Orton on twitter. This led to the scheduling of Goldust's in-ring return to face the WWE Champion. This is going to be fun. I love watching Goldust fight. He's funny, and technical.

The Rated R Return
Tonight in Toronto, Canada, Edge will return to Monday Night Raw! I am excited for this.  I think this is a long stretch, but I am hoping Christian gets included because after coming off two great matches with Del Rio and Randy Orton this guy has become basically irrelevant. Obviously, he is injured, but I noticed him on Smackdown during a town hall meeting I believe he's recovering quite fast. More than likely he will have something to say about The Corporation, and Daniel Bryan. I think he will support Daniel since he is not in the company and could get away with this, which brings me to this.

Daniel Bryan Must Look Dominant Going Into Night of Champions
For the past couple of weeks Daniel Bryan hasn't looked too strong. He's been beaten by The Shield multiple times, RKO'd by Orton multiple times and even knocked out by the Big Show. I know that down the line things will look good for Bryan, but right now he doesn't even look prepared for a fight. Emotionally, Bryan is ready, but Bryan has to show that even after those beatings, he physically still has it. He needs to walk out of Raw with has head held high and The Corporation looking up at him pissed off.
