3 significant things you missed this week on WWE RAW (23rd September 2019)

Modified Sep 24, 2019 21:01 GMT

There was a huge return that went under the radar this week

This week's episode of WWE Raw contained build-up for both Hell in a Cell and the "season premiere" of Raw next week. This means that there was a lot of information to take in, so there are many things that the WWE Universe could have missed.

The fatal five-way elimination match between AJ Styles, Ricochet, Rey Mysterio, Robert Roode, and Shinsuke Nakamura was to find someone to face Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship next Monday night on Raw. This means that there are still only two matches that are official for Hell in a Cell next weekend because WWE has switched focus ahead of one of the biggest weeks in their history.

Monday Night Raw was stacked, which could be why many members of the WWE Universe missed three important moments this week.

#3. Seth Rollins vs The Fiend no matter what

Seth Rollins will face The Fiend with or without his Championship

Seth Rollins cut a promo to open the show this week where he stated that he would be forced to defend his Universal Championship twice in the space of a week since the winner of the fatal five-way would challenge him on Monday Night Raw next week.

Many fans have questioned what this means for The Architect's match against Wyatt at Hell in a Cell, but the man himself actually explained in the promo that even if he loses the Universal Championship to Rey Mysterio next week on Raw, then the match with The Fiend will still go ahead but it won't be for the Universal Championship.

This definitely adds an interesting twist to the feud, since The Fiend focused his attention on Rollins' opponent Braun Strowman this week and could pop up and attack Rey Mysterio next week to ensure his path to the Championship is clear.

#2. Tamina made her return

Tamina made her return last night on Raw

Tamina hasn't been seen on WWE TV since WrestleMania when she and Nia Jax came up short in their quest to win the Women's Tag Team Championships. Jax has since undergone knee surgery, which has kept her on the sidelines, but without her tag team partner, WWE seemingly has had no creative ideas for Tamina, so she's been kept off WWE TV.

This week on Raw, Tamina made her WWE return after Carmella won the 24/7 Championship from R-Truth, the tides changed and the women came out and chased the new Champion. These women included Dana Brooke, Billie Kay, Sarah Logan, and the returning Tamina.

It's shocking that Tamina made her return to WWE but not many fans actually saw it since she wasn't the feature of the segment and the second generation star wasn't clearly seen as she looked to dethrone Carmella, but she was definitely there.

Tamina can clearly be seen in her usual wrestling attire behind Dana Brooke as she chases Carmella and R-Truth in the backstage area following her victory where she became the first active female wrestler to win the title.

#1. Ramblin' Rabbit is a spy

Ramblin' Rabbit was at ringside for Seth Rollins' promo

Ramblin' Rabbit has always been the most interesting member of The Firefly Fun House since it's been made clear that the rabbit not only knows something about The Fiend, but he wants to share it with the WWE Universe.

Wyatt regularly has to stop Rabbit from revealing secrets, but after this week on Raw, he could have a much bigger role in the current storyline. Eagle-eyed viewers of the show may have spotted Ramblin' Rabbit in the audience watching Seth Rollins' promo with Braun Strowman at the beginning of the show.

Rabbit was seemingly interested in what was going on with the two men and then The Fiend later interfered in the match that Rollins and Strowman had in the main event. This means that Ramblin' Rabbit could actually be a spy who heads back to The Fiend and updates him with what is going on in WWE.

He obviously then went on to attack Braun Strowman because a win for The Monster Among Men would have pushed him into the title picture and Wyatt wants to make sure that Universal Championship is his following Hell in a Cell. Also, Strowman insulted Wyatt earlier in the night so it was somewhat deserved.
