This week will feature another interesting chapter in WWE’s history, as the company heads to Saudi Arabia for Crown Jewel on Thursday before heading back to New York for Friday Night SmackDown.

What's most interesting is the fact that Superstars such as Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch have confirmed matches for RAW, while we will see both Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan appear on SmackDown. NXT will also likely be a star studded affair, especially after Finn Balor's actions from last week and The Undisputed Era's beatdown of Tommaso Ciampa.

Keeping all that in mind, there are a few things WWE must do to ensure fans stay interested in the rivalries that will unfold at Crown Jewel, while building further on other storylines and characters.

In this article, we will look at the 5 things WWE must do on RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week.


#1 Kairi Sane should shock Becky Lynch once again

On the October 7th, 2019 edition of RAW, Kairi Sane did the unthinkable and pinned Becky Lynch in the center of the ring. Sane pulled off the impressive feat during a tag team match between Lynch & Charlotte Flair and The Kabuki Warriors.

This week on RAW, Lynch will get a chance to exact revenge, as the two women collide in a one-on-one match.

Sane is an extraordinary performer and has already proven her worth on the main roster after teaming up with Asuka. The two international Superstars now hold the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, and this Monday's Champion vs. Champion Match should be a treat to watch.

WWE should once again allow Sane to defeat Becky Lynch using underhanded tactics. This will help build Sane’s heel character more, as she is still too much of a babyface, especially when compared to Asuka. A win over Lynch can increase her value and the value of The Kabuki Warriors as a team.

Asuka could also play a part and interfere in the match by once again spraying green mist in Lynch’s face. This could allow Sane to pick up yet another victory over the RAW Women's Champion.

#2 Bray Wyatt sacrifices another family member

Rowan has become a top mid-carder in the company, and his recent alliance with Daniel Bryan once again provided him a push to go single and engage in a heated rivalry with Roman Reigns.

Now that Rowan has been drafted over to RAW, he will get his first huge match on the Red brand against none other than Seth Rollins. The two will face off in a Falls Count Anywhere Match days before Rollins’ big match of the same nature against ‘The Fiend' Bray Wyatt.

Although Rowan will be getting his big chance, he should not forget his roots. After all, his rise first came from his alliance with The Wyatt Family.

This week on RAW, Bray Wyatt should appear during the match between Rollins and Rowan and apply the mandible claw to Rowan, rendering him incapacitated in the process. This would be similar to what Wyatt did to Braun Strowman last month.

The actions should force the referee to end the match in a no-contest, similar to what happened during Rollins and Wyatt’s match at Hell in a Cell. The move would show Wyatt’s unpredictably destructive side while sending another terrifying message to the entire WWE Universe.

#3 Adam Cole invites Finn Balor to join the club

Last week’s NXT surprised every single person in the arena, as Finn Balor turned heel when he attacked Johnny Gargano. Balor’s action allowed The Undisputed Era to deliver a beatdown to Tommaso Ciampa, while he continued to take Gargano out with devastating maneuvers.

This week, NXT should bring out Adam Cole to address Balor’s recent actions. Cole could tell Balor that he enjoyed watching him embrace his dark side. Cole should then invite Balor to join The Undisputed Era and become part of the most successful faction on the Black and Gold brand.

Balor should answer by belittling The Undisputed Era. He could let Cole know that he’s better off on his own and his mission is to take out Gargano all by himself. This would allow NXT to put Balor on display as the biggest heel on the brand and he wouldn't have to share the spotlight with anyone.

#4 Daniel Bryan brings back the Yes Movement

Friday Night SmackDown saw Daniel Bryan address his future in WWE, but not without interruption. Bryan was interrupted by Sami Zayn who offered Bryan the opportunity to join a faction alongside Nakamura. Bryan left without giving an answer, which has led to speculation as to whether Bryan would turn heel once again.

At a time when SmackDown is lacking top-level babyfaces to compete on the mid-card, we could see Bryan appear on this week's episode to give his answer to Zayn and Nakamura. In that case, Bryan could attack Zayn and send a message to Nakamura that he is coming after him and his Intercontinental Championship next.

A feud between Nakamura and Bryan would do wonders for the Blue brand, as both veteran Superstars are experienced enough to deliver A-grade matches.

It would also allow fans to focus on the mid-card title as the WWE Championship is currently held by a part-timer in Brock Lesnar. The Intercontinental Champion will have to provide most of the championship entertainment to the WWE Universe.

Continuing with Daniel Bryan as a babyface and bringing back the Yes Movement would work well at a time when the SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley has turned heel and younger fans desperately seek a new role model to look up to.

#5 Roman Reigns finds another heel rival

Roman Reigns now has the reins of the SmackDown roster, as he is the Blue brand's top competitor. With little room in the WWE Championship picture and Brock Lesnar currently engaged in a feud with Cain Velasquez, we could see Reigns indulge in some new rivalries in the weeks to come.

Recently, Reigns has had some interesting rivalries with the likes of Shane McMahon, Elias, and Erick Rowan. Continuing the trend, Reigns should get involved in another major rivalry with a top heel post-Crown Jewel.

Looking at the SmackDown roster, Baron Corbin seems to be the most logical choice at the moment. Corbin would keep Reigns busy and also give 'The Big Dog' credible competition in the weeks ahead. Reigns and Corbin already have great chemistry in the ring, and Corbin can match Reigns' size and strength.

Corbin could prove to be a difficult stepping stone in Reigns' journey back up the championship ladder and with his ability to generate heat, would likely make this one of the Blue brand's most talked about feuds.
