WWE RAW: 3 Surprising Superstar returns that could happen (March 18, 2019)

Monday Night Raw this week is sure to be filled with a lot of great segments and matches. Raw has always been the flagship show, and therefore WWE is heavily dependant on it to pave the Road to WrestleMania as the biggest event of the year is about three weeks away.

To make things exciting and to surprise the fans, WWE delivered quite a few punches last week. From Finn Balor losing the Intercontinental Championship to Kurt Angle announcing his retirement match, fans were given a big dose of storylines.

Continuing the trend of surprising fans, WWE will definitely have a few tricks up their sleeve for this week’s episode which will bring us closer to WrestleMania.

Raw could be planning to have some Superstars return on the show to make things more interesting for the big event, and now seems like the right time for them to bring out all the surprises they have in store.

Keeping that in mind, we will list 3 Superstars who could return to Raw this week, and cite the reason for their return.

#3 John Cena

Cena last appeared to push The Extraordinary Man

January 14th was John Cena’s last appearance on Raw, and we haven’t seen the superstar take the ring for over two months again.

Finn Balor defeated Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre and John Cena in the last match Cena competed in, as Cena took the pin to award Balor a chance at battle The Beast for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble.

While John Cena has been away from WWE for over two months, fans have constantly been planning his WrestleMania 35 match behind his back on the internet.

While it seems as though WWE did not have a definite plan for the mega superstar for The Grandest Stage of Them All, things have started to look better for the superstar since the past week.

This is because Kurt Angle has decided to hang up his boots, and will fight his final battle at WrestleMania. Will Kurt Angle pick John Cena as his final opponent for WrestleMania? If he does, expect Cena to make an entry on Raw this week to kickstart the hype for the match.

#2 Sami Zayn

Zayn was last seen in WWE nine months ago

Sami Zayn has been away from the ring for a long time now. Zayn fought his last match on June 17, 2018, at Money in The Bank against Bobby Lashley. Since then, Zayn was out due to an injury and has not made a return since getting healthy again.

Zayn’s friend Kevin Owens made a return not too long ago on SmackDown Live instead of Raw, and instantly got a push as he got a WWE Championship match against Daniel Bryan.

Similarly, it is possible that Sami Zayn will return soon and also get a significant push right off the bat for the time he’s had to wait for his return.

Zayn could return as Finn Balor’s partner on this week’s Raw to take on the man who injured him and his mouthpiece. Zayn would be looking to take revenge from Bobby Lashley, and this could prove to be a great launching pad for him as he could get in contention for the Intercontinental Championship soon after.

#1 Becky Lynch

Becky won't let Ronda off this easy

Becky Lynch may be signed to SmackDown Live, but her popularity on the flagship brand is as high as it has ever been. This has allowed her to jump brands whenever she wants in the past couple of weeks and delivered bone shaking segments to her WrestleMania opponents.

Speaking of WrestleMania opponents, her current opponent for WrestleMania is Ronda Rousey, but that could sure change if Dana Brooke beats her on Raw tonight and wins the Raw Women’s Championship. However, we all know that isn’t happening in a million years, therefore we’re going to overlook that scenario.

As Ronda Rousey prepares to take on Dana Brooke on Raw tonight, she will care little about her real opponent, and be more worried about Becky’s possible interference during the night.

Therefore, it seems likely that Becky will be returning on Raw this week after she got a beating from Ronda on Raw before Fastlane, and will want to avenge herself on Monday Night.
