3 Hints WWE dropped on RAW this week (November 11, 2019)

WWE certainly delivered an action packed show, offering some great matches for this week's edition of Monday Night RAW.

The build-up for Survivor Series, one of WWE's biggest annual pay-per-views, has been noteworthy. With the addition of NXT to the fold, this year's Survivor Series will feature a tri-brand clash for the very first time ever.

NXT's invasion continued Monday, as The Black & Yellow Brand made its presence felt in Manchester. This included NXT UK Champion Walter, who had a singles match with former Universal Champion Seth Rollins. Interference from The Imperium led to a disqualification, and the four NXT Superstars eventually lost to the team of Kevin Owens, Seth Rollins, and The Street Profits. Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair received a title shot against The Kabuki Warriors, but 'The Man' was pinned after a distraction from NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler.

Drew McIntyre proved his dominance again, earning a comfortable win over Sin Cara, while Andrade defeated Cedric Alexander. The main event was exhilarating, as the team of Humberto Carrillo, Randy Orton, and Ricochet defeated The OC.

In this article we discuss three things WWE hinted at on RAW this week.

#3 The feud between AJ Styles and Humberto Carrillo isn't over yet

Styles and Carrillo in action

Since arriving on RAW, Humberto Carrillo has been enjoying a decent run, and has impressed fans with his dexterity in the squared circle. Producing some fantastic matches with Seth Rollins and AJ Styles, Carrillo has proved his merit, despite losing every singles match prior to this Monday. Carrillo, however, made a bold statement in the main event of RAW, finally pinning the United States Champion AJ Styles.

Carrillo and Styles crossed paths four times in the past couple of weeks, including on RAW this week. Considering Carrillo was pinned by Styles three times, some fans speculated that the feud could be over, but the former Cruiserweight Champion gave a hint of continuing the rivalry, pinning the reigning United States Champion on RAW. 'The Phenomenal One' will face Nakamura and Roderick Strong at Survivor Series, but Carrillo is likely to challenge Styles again after the pay-per-view.

#2 Asuka will get a title shot against Becky Lynch somewhere down the line

Reigning Women's Tag Team Champions The Kabuki Warriors put the titles on the line in Manchester, against Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch. While Lynch and Charlotte looked like a formidable tag team, they couldn't get the job done, as Asuka pinned Lynch to retain the twin belts.

Although Becky Lynch lost the opportunity of holding two belts before heading to Survivor Series, it wasn't a clean loss. Shayna Baszler and Bayley, Becky Lynch's opponents for Survivor Series, distracted 'The Man' at ringside, allowing Asuka to pin Lynch. Subsequently, Bayley ambushed Lynch, making a strong statement.

It's not the first time Asuka pinned Becky Lynch, as 'The Empress of Tomorrow' pinned the RAW Women's Champion in a tag team match on a previous RAW. Given Lynch's current momentum, not many women could boast about pinning the RAW Women's Champion twice in a span of a few weeks. After facing Bayley and Shayna Baszler at Survivor Series, Becky Lynch could find her new challenger in Asuka.

#1 Randy Orton is turning babyface

Randy Orton was certainly the talking point of RAW this week, as 'The Viper' surprised everyone by dropping a major face turn hint. Orton took on The OC and teamed up with the team of babyfaces, Humberto Carrillo and Ricochet. In fact, Orton was instrumental in picking up the win for his team, delivering a vicious RKO to AJ Styles.

RAW doesn't have a notable babyface outside of Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens. Therefore, the Red Brand is in dire need of another top babyface, and there is no better choice than the thirteen-time WWE Champion Randy Orton. A face turn could rejuvenate 'The Viper's' career, giving him a fresh new direction on the Red Brand.

From the beginning of RAW this week, Orton had a disagreement with Ricochet, but the two men still worked as a team to win the match. However, Orton teased an RKO to Ricochet during the match, but eventually gave it to AJ Styles instead. Ricochet and Orton will be part of Team RAW at Survivor Series, and it will be interesting to see if they clear out their differences to work as a team.
