WWE RAW this week could be filled with surprises galore. As profitable as this past year has been for the company, it's been marred with the news of several unfortunate releases.

Vince McMahon will want to end the year on a high note with a power-packed edition of the red brand this week. And the best way to infuse a sense of unpredictability into the roster is with a whole bunch of surprises.

So, here are five things that could make the final WWE RAW episode of the year very exciting indeed. As always, feel free to share your thoughts and views in the comments section below. If you don't think a particular surprise will hit home, let us know!

#5 Paul Heyman shows up on WWE RAW and picks 'The Colossus' Omos as his next client

Roman Reigns clearly does not need Paul Heyman's services at this point in time. Brock Lesnar, after years of having Heyman talk for him, has become the most confident promo, participating in SmackDown's most entertaining segments. Paul Heyman teased that his career was over on this past week's episode of the blue brand.

But could he start a brand new journey on RAW this week? We know that AJ Styles and Omos are at odds with each other. Hey, the latter has come a long way in the ring, but he still has a fair bit of distance to go on the microphone. Plus, an alliance with Heyman just catapults him to the very top of the card.

Omos is clearly being groomed to be the next big thing on WWE RAW and it is inevitable that he will cross paths with Roman Reigns. If that were to happen, there would be a readymade storyline with Paul Heyman.

#4 Dolph Ziggler becomes the new United States Champion

On WWE RAW this week, the United States Championship will be on the line in a match between Damian Priest and Dolph Ziggler.

With Bobby Roode on the outside, could Ziggler be part of the ultimate upset where he becomes the brand new red, white, and blue champion?

#3 Adam Pearce shows up on WWE RAW to make a major announcement about Austin Theory

Austin Theory is the apple of Mr. McMahon's eye, both in real and reel life right now. He has yet another chance to impress the boss when he takes on Finn Balor in the upcoming episode of WWE RAW in singles competition.

Let's assume for a minute that the youngster is able to defeat and embarrass the veteran on such a grand stage. In doing so, he could earn himself a shot at the upcoming WWE Championship match at Day 1. Could he be added at the very last minute, with an announcement from Adam Pearce this week?

#2 The WWE RAW Women's Championship match at WWE Day 1 becomes bigger

The last time when the WWE RAW Women's Championship was on the line, the outcome left many a fan with a poor taste in his/her/their mouth. Becky Lynch cheated to win the contest and if the same thing happens at WWE Day 1, well, people won't be happy.

As a result, the RAW Women's Championship match at the pay-per-view could be contested in a no-holds-barred title match. It certainly spares the audience from the very same outcome as the previous encounter.

#1 Randy Orton gets annoyed with Riddle and hits an RKO

Even though the RAW Tag Team Champions RK-Bro seem absolutely unstoppable right now, they're clearly not on the same page. Riddle is far goofier than Randy Orton, something that doesn't sit well with The Viper at all.

Could The Original Bro's herb-ivorous ways finally push Orton over the edge on WWE RAW this week? Could an RKO be the prelude to the two men eventually going their separate ways?
