It's been a long time since the Demon last appeared!

Last week's episode of Monday Night Raw followed the Fastlane PPV and it was a fun show from top to bottom and provided some news-worthy segments for the Road to WrestleMania.

Finn Balor lost his match against Bobby Lashley as the Intercontinental title changed hands. Kurt Angle also announced that WrestleMania 35 would be the last time he will step foot inside the WWE ring as a performer.

Batista and Triple H had a segment where Triple H agreed to face him at the biggest stage in a '"No holds barred' match, while Drew McIntyre brutally attacked Roman Reigns and destroyed Dean Ambrose in the night's main event.

This week, WWE is advertising the return of Brock Lesnar, while Seth Rollins will take on Drew McIntyre.

What will the WWE have in store for us in this upcoming episode? Let's take a look at 3 biggest things WWE could be planning for Monday Night Raw.


#3 Brock Lesnar attacks Seth Rollins again

Seth Rollins won the 2019 Royal Rumble pay-per-view and chose Brock Lesnar as his dance partner for the 35th anniversary of WrestleMania.

As Rollins chose Lesnar as his opponent, he tried to put the Beast down but got 6 F5's for his troubles, and that was the last time we saw Brock Lesnar on Monday Night Raw.

Since then, Paul Heyman and Rollins have taken the matter in their own hands to promote the fight.

A few weeks ago, Roman Reigns, made his return to Raw after successfully beating leukemia, and reunited with his former brothers.

Together as The Shield, they teamed up for one final time to put down the trio of Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, and Baron Corbin at the Fastlane pay-per-view.

The following night on Raw, Drew McIntyre attacked Roman Reigns and then went on to destroy Dean Ambrose in the main event.

Now, he is set to face Seth Rollins on this upcoming episode of Raw, and since the Universal Champion, Brock Lesnar, is scheduled to appear, it would be wise of the creative team to have him influence the match in some way.

Because let's be honest, WWE can't afford to make either Seth Rollins or Drew McIntyre lose a match before the Grandest Stage of Them All

#2 Kurt Angle chooses John Cena as his opponent

The Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle, will end his illustrious career at the Grandest Stage of Them All.

Last week on Monday Night Raw, he announced that WrestleMania 35 would be the final time he will step foot inside the squared circle as a performer.

A career that spanned over two decades, there is no doubt that Kurt Angle is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time, but everyone gets past their prime and Angle's performance in the ring has dropped significantly due to nagging knee injuries.

I think the decision he made this past week was the right thing to do, but the biggest question is who will be the final opponent for the Olympic hero? There are plenty of guys flooding the WWE roster that could have a great program with Kurt. From the likes of Sami Zayn to Dean Ambrose, it’s hard to actually pick someone you’d like to see him wrestle against, but I think John Cena is the most viable choice out there.

John Cena has so much history with Angle as he made his debut against the Olympic hero, and as he did so, he ushered in the Ruthless Aggression era.

John Cena retiring Kurt Angle on the Grandest Stage of Them All would be kind of poetic and I for one can't wait to see it.

#1 Finn Balor teases the return of the "Demon King"

Finn Balor's career has gone downhill since last becoming the Universal Champion. Balor defeated Seth Rollins in the main event of SummerSlam 2016 and became the first ever Universal Champion, but an unfortunate injury caused him to vacate the title a night later.

Since then, his career has seen a lot of downsides. Last week on Raw, he dropped his newly won Intercontinental Championship back to Bobby Lashley.

Balor is now scheduled to take on Bobby Lashley and Lio Rush in a tag-team match where he can appoint a partner of his choosing.

With Lio Rush in his corner, Lashley has been able to gain the upper hand on Finn Balor, and Balor is now in desperate need of a tag team partner. But will he appoint a teammate to even the odds or will he bring out something he is popularly known for?

In my opinion, this is where he brings out his Demon character and puts a stop to Bobby Lashley once and for all to pursue other things.
