WWE RAW: 3 things WWE made clear through this week's show

The last WWE RAW before Clash Of Champions came live to us from the Madison Square Garden, New York, NY. It was a good show, filled with some great matches.

The show kicked off with Stone Cold Steve Austin addressing the WWE Universe. Then, Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman came out to sign the contract for the Universal Championship match at Clash of Champions.

When the contract signing was done, The OC came out and attacked the current RAW Tag Team Champions. The segment ended with Styles eating a Stone Cold Stunner.

Also, the King of the Ring semi-final took place on RAW and Baron Corbin emerged as the winner. Furthermore, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair got their revenge against Bayley and Sasha Banks as The Man and The Queen won the tag team match.

The match between Cedric Alexander and Styles ended in a disqualification before the former pinned the latter in the 10-man tag team main event involving Rollins, Strowman, Alexander & The Viking Raiders against The OC and Robert Roode & Dolph Ziggler.

In this piece, we are going to take a look at the three things WWE made clear through this week's show:

#3 Chad Gable could be going all the way in the King of the Ring tournament

Corbin won the KOTR semi-final

The winner of the KOTR semi-final on RAW was always going to give an indication of what will happen in the other semi-final between Elias and Chad Gable, scheduled for SmackDown Live this week.

Corbin emerged as the winner in the triple threat match between Samoa Joe, Ricochet and him. Since Corbin is a heel, WWE would want a face to be pitted against him at Clash Of Champions.

So, that makes Gable the most likely Superstar to emerge as the winner in his match against Elias. Gable is most certainly going to the finals of the KOTR tournament. Is he going to win the tournament? Only time will tell.

#2 The Viking Raiders will soon be coming into the RAW Tag Team Title picture

The Viking Raiders

Ever since The Viking Raiders came onto the main roster, it seemed like WWE doesn't know what to do with them. Their name was changed on several occasions and until now, they were facing enhancement talent.

This week, finally, we got a break from the usual things. The Viking Raiders were involved in the 10-man tag team match in the main event and they had a good showing. Now that their skills and finishers are over the WWE Universe, it's time The Viking Raiders are involved in something important.

Most probably, this is what's going to happen. Roode & Ziggler will most certainly win the RAW Tag Team Titles at Clash of Champions and The Viking Raiders would be their next challengers. So, expect a Tag Team Championship shot for The Viking Raiders at Hell in a Cell.

#1 Cedric Alexander is getting a deserved push

Cedric Alexander is getting a deserved push

After weeks of involving AJ Styles into the Universal Championship story line, finally, this week, we got a clearer picture on what is going on with the United States Championship.

WWE had to come up with something late in order to get a challenger for the Phenomenal One and it is going to be Cedric Alexander.

Styles faced Alexander in a singles match on RAW and quite expectedly, it ended in a disqualification. But later into the night, Cedric pinned The Phenomenal One to win his team the 10-man tag team match.

This is the most simple way of making someone a title challenger, by making him pin the champion. Alexander certainly deserves this chance and he has come a long way in his WWE career.

Not long ago was he involved in the 24/7 Championship picture and now, he is all set to face Styles for the United States Championship at Clash of Champions.
