Among other noteworthy bouts, WWE RAW hosted a massive Tag Team Turmoil match on Monday night. Seven teams were scheduled to be a part of the match before The Hurt Business inserted themselves into the contest.
The New Day impressed the WWE Universe but fell short of winning the match. Instead, Bobby Lashley and MVP came out on top to become RK-Bro’s next challengers. Will Bobby Lashley become a double champion on next week’s RAW?
The Creed Brothers debuted for Diamond Mine on WWE NXT. Julius and Brutus made an impact right away and sent a warning to the rest of the locker room. Meanwhile, Ridge Holland and Pete Dunne attacked Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch after they failed to win the NXT Tag Team titles.

At the end of Friday night, ‘The Demon’ Finn Balor also made his return to SmackDown. It looks like Balor’s alter-ego will take on Reigns for the Universal Championship at Extreme Rules. But will Balor lose to Reigns so he can face Lesnar at Crown Jewel?
Take a look at the five biggest questions from WWE RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week.
#5. Is Charlotte Flair going to have another short reign as the WWE RAW Women’s Champion?
Charlotte Flair has had six WWE RAW Women’s Championship reigns in her career. Apart from her first reign, none have lasted for over two months.
Flair won the title again at WWE SummerSlam 2021. Her rivalry with Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H. came to an end at the event, and she defended her title against Nia Jax soon after.
It looks like The Queen will now be getting into a rivalry for the title with Alexa Bliss. Bliss has been doing a good job with her new character in WWE. RAW could look to reward the superstar with a title for her recent work.
Does that mean Flair will have another short RAW Women’s Championship reign? Why does WWE keep handing The Queen the title for short reigns?
Charlotte Flair has been a cornerstone in WWE’s women’s division. However, her short reigns have only helped her increase her world title wins. Is she going to lose her title to Alexa Bliss soon?
#4. Is Jeff Hardy being treated the way he should be in WWE?
Jeff Hardy has been a major part of WWE for several years now. The superstar has had many stints with the company, and most people in the WWE Universe simply adore the daredevil.
Hardy had some good rivalries in his current WWE run. However, things haven’t been looking too good for the high-flyer in recent months. He has a string of losses to his name and has been defeated by Jinder Mahal, Sheamus, and Karrion Kross in recent months.
He has also appeared on WWE Main Event recently and lost matches to Mustafa Ali and Veer.
On this week’s episode of RAW, Hardy was seen in a rather bizarre segment. He was one of the men who came out in hopes of winning the 24/7 Championship.
The Charismatic Enigma is one of the biggest active legends in WWE. Is WWE treating a legend like Jeff Hardy the right way? Will such storylines drive Hardy away from WWE?
Jeff’s brother is already performing for AEW. He could look to move to the promotion once his contract with WWE expires.
#3. Is Omos being groomed for a WWE Championship reign early in his career?
Omos has been one of the highlights of WWE RAW for quite some time. AJ Styles has helped the newcomer get a big push, and he has become the only monster on the WWE main roster.
Omos struggled to move swiftly when he first started with Styles, but he now seems much more comfortable in the ring. On WWE RAW this week, Omos got to face off against WWE Champion Bobby Lashley during the Tag Team Turmoil match.
Surprisingly, WWE allowed the giant to overpower The All Mighty with ease. Omos countered Lashley’s best moves and slammed him down like it was a piece of cake.
After The Hurt Business picked up the win over Styles and Omos, WWE once again allowed the newcomer to put down Lashley with a chokeslam. Omos has been given a lot of leverage over the past few months.
Is WWE preparing him for a world title run in the months to come? Did the company do the right thing by putting Omos over The All Mighty so early in his career?
There is no doubt that Omos is a top talent in the company. However, one can only hope that he doesn’t suffer the same fate as many of the big men who came before him.
#2. Did WWE do the right thing by breaking up a faction on NXT?
Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan challenged MSK for the WWE NXT Tag Team Championships on Tuesday. Lorcan and Burch came up short and failed to win back the titles.
After the match, Pete Dunne instructed Ridge Holland to attack the two men. This effectively ended the faction between the four men. NXT has many factions that are trying to make their mark.
Legado del Fantasma, Diamond Mine, Hit Row, and Tian Sha are some of the major factions operating on the brand. Did WWE do the right thing by breaking up Pete Dunne’s faction on NXT? Will Holland and Dunne work together in the weeks to come to achieve something big?
The Bothercauser has been impressive since his return to NXT. Meanwhile, Dunne has entered the NXT Championship picture again. WWE could look to build these two men while giving Lorcan and Burch a break for some time.
The tag team division of the brand is loaded, and WWE could look to give a couple of tag teams a break for some time.
#1. Why weren’t there any women’s matches on WWE SmackDown?
WWE SmackDown hosted the contract signing ceremony between Bianca Belair and Becky Lynch for Extreme Rules. The two women made their points clear for the big match at the upcoming pay-per-view.
However, apart from Lynch and Belair, no other female superstar was seen at Madison Square Garden. Instead, Universal Champion Roman Reigns and many other men on the SmackDown roster got the spotlight on Friday night.
Last week too, no women’s matches took place on SmackDown and only Lynch and Belair came out for their segment. Why weren’t any women’s matches held on SmackDown once again this week? Aren’t two hours enough to host at least one match between the talented women of SmackDown?
Natalya, Tegan Nox, Shotzi, and Carmella are a few of the big names who could have been featured on the show. Toni Storm and Liv Morgan have also been kept aside for far too long now.
It would have been good to see the creative team build the women’s tag team championship picture. Instead, WWE has preferred to build rivalries between the men of SmackDown while keeping the women aside.
