This week's RAW will be the penultimate show before TLC, so fans should expect some major developments for the Red Brand, all of which make this upcoming show almost unmissable.

There's already so much slated to happen. The biggest of which is Rey Mysterio vs AJ Styles for the United States Championship. This match may crown a new champion and could lead to the announcement of the challenger for the United States Championship at TLC.

The Rusev, Bobby Lashley, and Lana storyline will continue as a divorce segment between 'The Bulgarian Brute' and Lana is slated to happen this week. Many in the WWE Universe have not liked this feud and may be in for another cringe-worthy segment on Monday Night.

Along with those two things, we should expect the return of RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch, but there is no sign of WWE Champion Brock Lesnar, who has been missing since Survivor Series. With all of that in mind, we are going to take a look at the three biggest things WWE shouldn't do this week on RAW.


#3 Another match with enhancement talent for The Viking Raiders

RAW Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders have never felt like a big deal and that is unfortunate. It isn't due to any fault of their own, but the duo simply haven't had any memorable feuds since becoming RAW Tag Team Champions.

The RAW Tag Team Champions keep on facing enhancement talent week in and week out because WWE Creative seemingly has nothing for them. This is all the more bizarre when you consider that a team like The Street Profits are also not doing much on the Red Brand.

If we see another match with enhancement talent just before TLC, WWE risks its fan base losing all interest in the RAW Tag Team Champions, which won't bode well with Vince McMahon or the WWE Universe.

#2 No new feuds for Andrade

WWE's stagnant creative decisions with The Viking Raiders have unfortunately been applied to Andrade, as well. The Mexican Superstar is stuck in meaningless mid-card matches every week. Even after going on a winning streak, Almas doesn't seem to get a push and finds his career stuck in neutral.

The WWE Universe definitely doesn't want Andrade to continue fighting meaningless mid-card Superstars. Instead, they would love a new feud for him - one with meaning. It also doesn't mean he has to leave the mid-card to do it.

Just like the feud Buddy Murphy and Aleister Black are having at this moment in time, Andrade can have a feud with anyone and can put on incredible matches every week. A talent like that is wasted, if we see him in meaningless matches because it doesn't take him anywhere.

Andrade is on the road to becoming a successful heel, but needs to be given a chance to shine. He may have the opportunity to do so, if he can soon challenge old SmackDown rival Rey Mysterio for the United States Championship.

#1 Rey Mysterio drops the United States Championship

This happened only two weeks ago!
This happened only two weeks ago!

Rey Mysterio became the new United States Champion two weeks ago on RAW and now is not the time to take the title from him.

'The Master of the 619' is a top face in WWE and there are several good things that can happen with Mysterio as the United States Champion. The championship picture spotlight will benefit Dominic, Rey Mysterio's son, who is also a future WWE Superstar in the making.

Vince McMahon hasn't shied away from involving Dominic in storylines, so Mysterio's United States Championship run may only further introduce Dominic to the wrestling world.

Also, the United States Championship scene needed a change and Rey Mysterio helped move that process along. If AJ Styles ends up winning it again, WWE would only backtrack on progress. So, let's hope this championship match is a part of the storyline between Randy Orton and AJ Styles and not a plan to make 'The Phenomenal One' United States Champion yet again.
