5 things that must happen on WWE RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week

The first night of the WWE Draft 2021 has already changed the landscape of the company. RAW will host the second night of the Draft on Monday night and give fans more to look forward to.

Fans will also be waiting to see how Big E responds to Drew McIntyre’s challenge from last week. While McIntyre didn't directly target the WWE Champion, it looked like he was ready to take on Big E before getting drafted to SmackDown.

Charlotte Flair was drafted to SmackDown on Friday night, and fans can expect to see Becky Lynch move to RAW this Monday night.

Meanwhile, WWE NXT lost Hit Row during the first night of the Draft. Will more superstars make their way to the main roster during the second night?

It'll also be interesting to see who appears as the next challenger for MSK. WWE will also be looking to find a challenger for Cameron Grimes’ Million Dollar Championship on this week’s show.

Things got even more difficult for Paul Heyman on WWE SmackDown after Brock Lesnar made an interesting revelation. Will The Tribal Chief decide to part with his special counsel soon?

And what’s next for 'The Demon' Finn Balor after his loss to Roman Reigns at Extreme Rules? Will Balor return to perform as a mid-carder in the weeks to come?

Take a look at the five things that must happen on WWE RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week.

#5. Paul Heyman must fail to get The Usos drafted to SmackDown on WWE RAW

Paul Heyman is having a tough time ever since the return of Brock Lesnar. Lesnar returned to WWE at SummerSlam and has been eyeing Roman Reigns’ Universal Championship.

For the past few weeks, Brock Lesnar has been causing trouble for Heyman. He has constantly questioned Heyman's loyalty to The Tribal Chief, and thanked him for making him a free agent in WWE.

Reigns commanded Heyman to do him a favor and ensure that The Usos remain on SmackDown instead of getting drafted to RAW. The Tribal Cheif’s special counsel will have to go to RAW this week to make sure that Jimmy and Jey are not forced to switch brands.

WWE must turn things more interesting this week by making Adam Pearce announce that The Usos will be drafted to RAW. Heyman must then be shown pleading with the WWE official to overturn the decision.

The angle will make the storyline between Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, and Brock Lesnar even more interesting. It will give Heyman good reason to leave Reigns and return to his old client in the weeks to come.

#4. Goldberg must run through The Hurt Business on WWE RAW

Goldberg is scheduled to show up on WWE RAW this week. Fans already know that the Hall of Famer wants to take revenge on Bobby Lashley.

Last week on RAW, Lashley competed against Big E for the WWE Championship. During their contest, Cedric Alexander and Shelton Benjamin decided to join Lashley and reform The Hurt Business.

This week, Goldberg must call out The All-Mighty to the RAW ring. Lashley and The Hurt Business must arrive and try to take down the Hall of Famer. This should give Goldberg a chance to run through the three men and stand tall to close the show.

The angle will help rebuild Goldberg as a real threat and also make him look like a babyface in front of the heels.

#3. Odyssey Jones must crush LA Knight on WWE NXT

WWE NXT’s biggest man, Odyssey Jones, is looking to make a mark. Last Tuesday night, Jones had a confrontation with the former Million Dollar Champion, LA Knight.

The two superstars are booked to meet in the ring this Tuesday. WWE has done well to give Jones a push in recent weeks. The creative team must allow him to defeat Knight and pick up another big win to push ahead.

WWE could look to move Odyssey Jones to the main roster sooner rather than later. A big win over a top superstar will help him climb the ladder on the brand.

#2. Toxic Attraction must takedown Raquel Gonzalez after a promo on WWE NXT

Raquel Gonzalez defended her WWE NXT Women’s Championship against Franky Monet last week. Monet turned out to be a good challenger and pushed Gonzalez to the limits.

However, the champion retained her title after putting down Monet. After the match, Mandy Rose, Gigi Dollin, and Jacy Jayne attacked Gonzalez to make a statement.

This week on NXT, WWE must allow Toxic Attraction to attack the champion again and cement Rose’s spot in the championship picture. Gonzalez has taken every challenge head-on since becoming the champion. The angle will help her become an even stronger champion and babyface in NXT.

#1. Roman Reigns must threaten Adam Pearce on WWE SmackDown

After the events of WWE RAW, the drama on SmackDown must get even better on Friday night. Roman Reigns must appear alone in the SmackDown ring to address the events of Monday night and highlight Paul Heyman’s failure to draft The Usos to the brand.

He must call out Adam Pearce and threaten the WWE official to bring Jimmy and Jey Uso back to the blue brand or suffer the consequences. The story must develop throughout the show before The Tribal Chief forces Pearce to draft The Usos back to SmackDown in the final segment of the night.

This will help cement Reigns as the top man in the company and make him come across as an even bigger heel. It will also make things more difficult for Heyman in the weeks to follow.
