WWE Raw: Potential Spoilers, Rumors, News and Preview for February 1

Brock Lesnar, a voracious beast with revenge on his mind, promises to be the centerpiece of the first WWE Raw of February.

Lesnar is set to make his first appearance since The Wyatt Family engulfed him at the Royal Rumble. With him headed for Fastlane's main event as well, he's sure to have take some swings at his opponents for that night—Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns.

As WWE looks to hype Fastlane, it will have to do so with an incomplete roster. Even more Superstars have suffered injuries of late.

Just who is healthy enough to step into the ring? What narratives can fans expect to continue when Raw hits the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama?

Backstage reports, James Wortman's five-point preview on WWE.com and updates from Twitter provide answers to those questions, giving fans a good idea of what to look for on Monday's Raw.

News, Potential Spoilers

The WWE trainers have been insanely busy in the last few months. Add more names to the list of wrestlers working through injuries.

F4WOnline's Dave Meltzer reported that Sheamus is suffering from tendonitis:

"

We've confirmed that the injury is legitimate, but we don't have much in the way of details other than he has tendonitis in the arm. He isn't expected to be out of the ring for too long, but the timing of when he'll be able to wrestle again has not been determined.

As of today, the feeling is that he will likely remain on television in storylines but won't be working matches, similar to the role Wade Barrett has been doing in the League of Nations in recent weeks.

"

The Celtic Warrior posted a photo of himself in a cast:

Alberto Del Rio, his fellow League of Nations member, isn't 100 percent either. According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com, Del Rio "is dealing with an issue with his lower back."

Neither Sheamus nor Del Rio wrestled on Tuesday's SmackDown show, per ProFightDB.com.

The women's roster isn't at full strength either. Road Dogg (who works behind the scenes for WWE) mentioned on Twitter that Naomi is injured:

That would explain why Naomi hasn't wrestled in weeks. Road Dogg didn't mention the nature or severity of the injury, though. 

With Lana, it's not an injury that's holding her back but reportedly continued issues with WWE officials. Meltzer mentioned on Wrestling Observer Radio (h/t WrestlingInc) there is more backstage heat on her. That makes it less likely she does anything of significance on Raw.

As for who will be ready to go for Raw, James Caldwell noted on Pro Wrestling Torch that both Triple H and Chris Jericho are advertised to appear on Monday's show.

Fastlane Build Continues

Ambrose and Reigns did enough in their tag team match last week to impress The Authority. The two allies are now set to face Lesnar in a No. 1 contender's bout at Fastlane.

Expect WWE to at least tease some tension between Ambrose and Reigns before that clash arrives. The five-point preview hinted that The Authority may be what instigates that. Wortman wrote, "One has to imagine that The Authority will be looking to somehow drive a wedge between The Lunatic Fringe and The Big Dog. Will mind games tear these brothers apart?" 

Meanwhile, Goldust has tried his best to create a partnership with R-Truth.

Misunderstandings have marked The Bizarre One's interactions with the rapping wrestler in goofy backstage segments. It looks as if we can expect that to continue.

Wortman asked, "Will Goldust continue his well-meaning but hilariously ineffective pursuit on Raw?"

There is no misunderstanding what Sasha Banks is after. She charged into the Divas Championship picture at the Royal Rumble by attacking the champ.

Look for the spotlight to aim at her again on Monday night. Wortman wrote, "How will Sasha Banks prove that she deserves to be next in line for Charlotte's prize on Raw?"

That points to Banks looking for momentum by taking down the other women in the division.

With Lesnar back onscreen, though, fans can be certain the powerhouse will be the main focus of Monday's Raw. Not only does he have a match with Ambrose and Reigns to build toward, but he has unfinished business with The Wyatt Family.

Bray Wyatt led the way as his posse attacked Lesnar during the Rumble. There is no way The Beast Incarnate simply lets that slide off his shoulders.

Expect WWE to continue planting the seeds for a Wyatt vs. Lesnar WrestleMania clash.
