Nikki A.S.H. and Charlotte Flair competed in a No Holds Barred match on WWE RAW last week. The RAW Women’s Champion was able to hold her own during the contest and defeat Flair. How will The Queen react on RAW this week before the big Triple Threat Match at SummerSlam?
Goldberg bulldozed MVP on RAW after the latter got in his son’s face. Will Bobby Lashley look to avenge the damage done to his manager this week? And what’s next for the rivalry between Sheamus and Damian Priest?
Samoa Joe could not get his hands on Karrion Kross once again on WWE NXT. The Samoan Submission Machine must continue to hunt down the NXT Champion this week.
Raquel Gonzalez will also show up on NXT to answer Dakota Kai’s challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship. The two will likely come face to face at TakeOver.
Finn Balor was not too pleased with Baron Corbin and John Cena on WWE SmackDown. The Prince defeated Corbin in a quick match before calling Cena out. However, it was Roman Reigns who came out and insulted Balor once again before The Bloodline attacked him.
Meanwhile, Bianca Belair defeated Zelina Vega in a non-title match on SmackDown. Belair will defend her championship against Sasha Banks at WWE SummerSlam. It also looks like King Nakamura will be getting himself a championship match for SummerSlam.
Take a look at the five things that must happen on WWE RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week.
#5 Bobby Lashley and MVP must attack Goldberg and his son on WWE RAW
Goldberg returned to WWE RAW a few weeks ago to challenge Bobby Lashley to a massive match. The Hall of Famer came out to get in Lashley’s face and demand a WWE Championship match for WWE SummerSlam.
Lashley did not seem too interested in the challenge, but things changed during last week’s episode. The All-Mighty accepted the challenge before Goldberg speared MVP who tried to get in his son’s face.
WWE needs to build this rivalry further as SummerSlam is just around the corner. To make this possible, the two competitors must get physical before their big match at the pay-per-view.
On this week’s RAW, Lashley and MVP must come out and attack Goldberg during a segment. The two must take the Hall of Famer down and then get in his son’s face to threaten him.
The angle will help the two men get more aggressive before SummerSlam and make the rivalry more interesting for the fans. Lashley needs to come out of this rivalry looking strong, and a few top segments could do the job for The All-Mighty.
#4 Randy Orton must return to help Riddle against Omos and AJ Styles on WWE RAW
Riddle had a tough time on WWE RAW last week. The Original Bro found himself in a match against the largest man on the WWE roster, Omos. Riddle tried his best to keep the massive superstar off his feet but failed to do any significant damage.
Omos cruised to a victory over the former WWE United States Champion after taking a few strikes from him. This week on RAW, the WWE Universe could see a match between Riddle and AJ Styles.
WWE must allow Riddle to shine in this contest and surprise Styles with a roll-up to pick up a victory. Omos and Styles must beat down The Bro after the match before Randy Orton makes his return.
The Viper must come out to save Riddle from the beatdown and further build on the storyline. RK-Bro must reunite before WWE SummerSlam so fans can get a big RAW Tag Team Championship match between the two prominent teams.
SummerSlam will be the perfect place to have a match between RK-Bro and the RAW Tag Team Champions.
#3 Imperium must attack Ilja Dragunov on WWE NXT
WWE NXT TakeOver: 36 is on the horizon and the brand is looking to build some top matches. One of the biggest matches set for the event will be for the WWE NXT UK Championship. WALTER will defend his title against Ilja Dragunov.
WALTER has held the title for over 850 days, and it looks like not many men in WWE can defeat him. However, Dragunov seems like the perfect man to dethrone The Ring General on NXT UK.
Dragunov is scheduled to appear on this week’s NXT and the brand should look to make his appearance eventful. The Unbesiegbar should come out to address the NXT Universe and build his case before the big championship match.
Imperium must then appear and surround the ring before attacking the superstar at the instructions of WALTER. The angle will allow the championship match to get more spotlight from the WWE Universe.
The David vs. Goliath booking could end up being the best contest of TakeOver 36. The two men had torn up the ring on NXT UK in October 2020, and they could give an even better performance on TakeOver.
#2 Ember Moon must turn heel after her match against Sarray on WWE NXT
Sarray hasn’t been featured on WWE NXT since the July 13th episode of the brand. The creative team is either trying to protect the new NXT Superstar or does not have any direction for her yet.
However, she is set to compete against a former NXT Women’s Champion on this week’s show. Sarray will take on Ember Moon in what could turn out to be the match of the night.
The two women are currently playing babyface characters and will likely show each other respect during the contest. WWE must allow Sarray to win the match, after which The War Goddess must turn heel and attack the Japanese Superstar.
The angle could provide NXT with a brand new rivalry between Sarray and Moon that could stretch all the way till TakeOver 36. Moon’s former partner Shotzi Blackheart has moved to WWE SmackDown, and this could be the perfect way to get her back on a big solo run.
WWE would also get a chance to build Moon as a heel and put her up against Raquel Gonzalez for the NXT Women’s Championship in case Dakota Kai fails to defeat her at TakeOver.
#1 Finn Balor and John Cena must team up to defeat The Usos on WWE SmackDown
Finn Balor suffered a three-on-one beatdown on WWE SmackDown last week. The Prince tried his best to take down Roman Reigns and The Usos, but the numbers game was too much for him.
Balor should approach Adam Pearce this week and demand a match against The Usos on SmackDown along with a Universal Championship match against Reigns at SummerSlam.
Pearce should tell Balor to find a partner for his match against The Usos. He must further tell the former NXT Champion that the result of the match would determine if he deserves a Universal Championship match.
John Cena must then appear to partner with Balor and the two men should reluctantly fight side by side. The two WWE Superstars must defeat The Usos on SmackDown to create an interesting dilemma for the SmackDown creative team. The angle will further fuel the chances of a Triple Threat Match for the Universal Championship at SummerSlam.
After the match, The Bloodline must once again lay out Balor and Cena before Reigns locks the 16-time World Champion in a Guillotine Choke. The entire angle will build a great storyline for the WWE Universe.
