3 Things WWE could be planning for the RAW before Survivor Series (November 18th, 2019)

The week before heading to Survivor Series has finally arrived, and WWE looks to hype the tri-brand pay-per-view. The next episode of Monday Night RAW, which is scheduled to be held at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts, should be an action-packed show, with one last NXT invasion for the Red Brand.

Captain of Team RAW, Seth Rollins, will take on Andrade to retain his place at Survivor Series, and the latter will have a golden opportunity of punching a ticket to the big pay-per-view. Having failed to win the Women's Tag Team Titles last week, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair will team up once again to take on an unannounced team on RAW. Just six days before Survivor Series, RAW Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders will defend the twin belts against Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins. Rey Mysterio will be on RAW before facing 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar, while Natalya will wrestle Asuka in a singles match.

In the following, we discuss three things WWE could be planning on RAW this week.

#3 Adam Cole knocks on the door of Aleister Black

All members of The Undisputed Era have matches at Survivor Series, except for Adam Cole. There is no doubt that Cole is the leader of the Black & Yellow Brand stable, and it is unlikely that he will be left off the Survivor Series card. This is especially true considering he already competed twice on RAW and SmackDown in previous weeks. It will be interesting to see if Cole finds out his Survivor Series opponent on RAW this week.

Aleister Black, who swapped brands recently, is looking for a new rival, as he has been waiting for someone to "knock on his door." In fact, 'The Dutch Destroyer' also urged someone to pick a fight with him just last week while sitting in his dark room. With Survivor Series around the corner, a big name could take him up on his offer.

Adam Cole and Aleister Black have a history, as the two men engaged in a heated NXT rivalry, facing each other on two occasions. While they met once on an episode of NXT, they also crossed paths in an Extreme Rules Match at NXT Takeover: Philadelphia. 'The Dutch Destroyer' won both matches against Cole, giving Cole all the reason to pick a fight with Black at Survivor Series.

#2 Seth Rollins beats Andrade to retain his place

Set for RAW this week

A huge match is set to take place on RAW, where Andrade will lock horns with the former Universal Champion Seth Rollins. Being the captain of Team RAW, Rollins selected four other Superstars to represent the Red Brand, but left out Andrade last week, causing Zelina Vega to question the selection on Twitter. As a result, Andrade will take on the Rollins to prove his worth.

Andrade has been on a roll since moving to RAW in the last draft. After beating Sin Cara and Cedric Alexander in the past couple of weeks, Andrade has the momentum before Monday's big clash. Although Rollins lost the Universal Title at Crown Jewel, he is still a top guy on RAW and will be looking to prove as much against Andrade.

While Andrade could be a great addition for Team RAW, he doesn't have the stature to replace Rollins. After missing out on the match between Team Flair and Team Hogan at Crown Jewel, Rollins will be aiming to make his mark in the tag team match at Survivor Series, securing a victory for the Red Brand. Therefore, Rollins should earn a victory over Andrade and retain his position with Team RAW.

#1 Brock Lesnar attacks Rey Mysterio

Mysterio will be on RAW

Three-time World Champion Rey Mysterio will get an opportunity of wearing the title around his waist again at Survivor Series, but he has a seemingly insurmountable task on his hands. Mysterio will take on one of the most dominant men to ever grace a wrestling ring in reigning WWE Champion Brock Lesnar.

Having skipped RAW last week, Mysterio will return this week to talk about his colossal battle with Lesnar at Survivor Series. Given the fact that Mysterio will be in the building, Lesnar is sure to keep his eyes on his opponent, especially after he was assaulted by Mysterio two weeks ago. 'The Beast Incarnate' will be aiming to send a strong message to Mysterio before the big Survivor Series clash.

Lesnar has made Mysterio's life chaotic, since starting the feud at RAW's Season Premier last month. Lesnar dismantled Mysterio and his son Dominic in humiliating fashion. The trend could continue this week on RAW. Whenever Lesnar gets ready for a fight, he gives his opponents a preview of the actual match, attacking them a few days before the show, and it is unlikely to be any different for Rey Mysterio. Taking out his frustration over Mysterio's previous assault, Brock Lesnar could sabotage his Survivor Series opponent on RAW this week.
