RAW has rejuvenated itself this month, and a new chapter has commenced. Following an impressive season premiere of the flagship show, it delivered another action-packed episode last week. While the first half of the draft was held on SmackDown last week, the second half will take place on RAW this week.
Last week, the show had some outstanding segments. Tyson Fury had a massive brawl with Braun Strowman, which certainly garnered the attention of the fans for their mega clash at Crown Jewel. Asuka showed her heel persona, pinning the RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch in a controversial manner. Rusev has been exceptional after his return, as he dismantled both Randy Orton and Baron Corbin. The Viking Raiders pinned the RAW Tag Team Champions Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler in a non-title bout.
The next RAW is set to take place at Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado. Here we discuss three things WWE could be planning on RAW this week.
#3 The New Day moves to RAW, Kofi Kingston goes for the US Title
Besides the male and female individual Superstars, the tag teams also switch brands in the draft. The New Day, who are the former SmackDown Tag Team Champions, might change brands, considering they faced The OC on SmackDown last week. The New Day and The OC are two prolific tag teams of the company, and they could have a stupendous rivalry.
Kofi Kingston dropped the WWE Championship to Brock Lesnar on the FOX debut of SmackDown. While the New Day member didn't receive a rematch, WWE probably gave us a hint of his next opponent on the Blue Brand last week. The OC lost the tag team match on SmackDown where Kofi Kingston pinned the United States Champion, AJ Styles.
After a feud with Cedric Alexander, The Phenomenal One is searching for his next challenger and Kofi Kingston could be a great opponent. Kingston has gathered some lost momentum after pinning Styles. If The New Day moves to RAW, Kingston could face Styles at Crown Jewel
#2 Charlotte Flair joins RAW
Charlotte Flair had a roller coaster journey last week. While The Queen won the SmackDown Women's Championship at Hell in a Cell, she defended the title in a rematch on SmackDown this week. The 10-time Women's Champion failed to keep the title around her waist, losing to Bayley in the rematch. Given Bayley won back the title fair and square, the feud is as good as over, as Lacey Evans and Sasha Banks were also drafted to SmackDown last week.
The Queen has been the focal point of SmackDown women's division for the past two years. Charlotte joined the Blue brand after WrestleMania 33, and she has been a dominant name ever since. She won the SmackDown Women's Championship a total of five times, winning it thrice alone this year. Hence, the possibility of a brand switch for Charlotte is definitely high.
Charlotte and Becky Lynch already had a lengthy feud a few months ago, and it will be tedious to see another rivalry. The RAW women's division contains a number of gifted performers who can go toe-to-toe with The Queen. There is no doubt that Charlotte could be a great addition to the Red brand.
#1 Seth Rollins gets a new challenger
The Universal Champion Seth Rollins had a match against The Fiend at Hell in a Cell, which was despised by a majority of fans. Although the match was extraordinary, the ending of the match was contentious. As a matter of fact, The Fiend also attacked the BeastSlayer last week on SmackDown, interrupting his match against Roman Reigns. Given Bray Wyatt was drafted to the Blue brand on night one of the draft, the feud is unlikely to continue.
A number of notable names changed brands in the first half of the draft, and we could find the next challenger for Rollins in the next episode. Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, and Bray Wyatt, who were the previous challengers for Rollins' Universal Championship, are part of SmackDown now. Therefore, a Superstar could start a fresh rivalry with Rollins, and it will not be surprising if the new challenger arrives on RAW after switching brands.
Randy Orton changed brands and is back on RAW, and he could be an ideal challenger for the Universal Champion. Even though Orton is a 13-time WWE Champion, he has never held or contended for the Universal Championship. WWE might look to renew this rivalry sooner rather than later.
