On the last episode of RAW, the acting General Manager Baron Corbin made a match between tag team partners Heath Slater and Rhyno where the loser would be fired from RAW. Slater emerged victorious from that match which resulted in Rhyno losing his place on the Monday Night RAW.

After the match though, Corbin informed the One Man Band that he will be performing the duties of a referee on RAW and it seems like the WWE Creative is planning to make use of Heath as a referee on screen now. Slater is a former tag team champion and has been one of the most popular stars amongst the WWE Universe.

He receives a loud pop from the crowd whenever he enters the arena and having performed comic roles in the past, it looks like we are in for another comic run from Slater.

Here are the three matches that Slater could referee this week on RAW -

#3 Jinder Mahal vs No Way Jose

This match took place on a RAW episode not long ago and the Modern Day Maharaja emerged victorious from that match after he pinned No Way Jose for the three count. Both No Way Jose and Jinder Mahal have received poor booking from the creative team and thus, they might be booked in another filler match this week on RAW where Corbin could name Slater as the referee of the match.

Now, with Slater being a face he will try his best to ensure that Jose wins the match and the WWE Creative would let the NXT recruit take the pin which would also see Slater to join Jose and his army to celebrate after the match.

#2 The Revival vs Lucha House Party

Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson were expected to take the main roster by storm after a stellar run in the developmental territory, NXT. However, due to frequent injuries and inconsistent bookings, the Revival have been reduced to a jobber tag team on RAW who lose more matches than they win.

If we look at the list of tag teams which have defeated the Revival on RAW, it features Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre, the Hardy Boyz, the B Team (that too multiple times!) and the Lucha House Party ( a tag team comprising 3 Cruiserweight superstars). WWE Creative would surely book another match between the two teams this week on RAW and this time they can have the match under tag team rules but with Slater's presence as the referee he would favour the Lucha House Party and would allow them to score another win and probably ending this horrible feud.

#1 Drew McIntyre vs Jinder Mahal

It is no secret that Heath Slater, Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal were a part of the 3 Man Band earlier in the WWE and the WWE Creative could book a reunion of the 3MB in the ring this week on RAW.

Now, there could be a key reason why WWE could book this match on RAW. This match can prove to be a time killer which could see Mahal and McIntyre taking out Slater (which would later be revealed as a strategy of Baron Corbin to destroy Heath) before the bell rings and Finn Balor would come out to take out both the heels.
