Although RAW didn't confirm any match for TLC which is set to take place in two weeks, the build-up for the event progressed significantly this week, hinting at a number of new rivalries. From an exciting Handicap match to a few great Singles matches, Monday Night RAW produced a good episode this week.

The show opened with an apology from Seth Rollins, who had blamed the entire locker room of RAW last week for the poor display of the Red brand at Survivor Series. Rollins, however, was interrupted by Kevin Owens and the AOP eventually cut short the segment.

Additionally, both Bobby Lashley and Lana were arrested on RAW, while The Kabuki Warriors defeated Charlotte Flair in a Handicap match despite a valiant effort of the latter.

Moreover, the OC defeated the team of Humberto Carrillo, Rey Mysterio, and Ricochet in the main event of the night.

In this article, we will talk about three things that WWE hinted on RAW this week.


#3 The Viking Raiders will not defend the RAW Tag Team Titles at TLC

The Viking Raiders -- the reigning RAW Tag Team Champions -- had a match on RAW this week, in which they fought against two local wrestlers. It was a squash match and the champions picked up a comprehensive victory.

While Erik and Ivar have been dominant Champions since winning the twin belts, they are yet to face a real competition. They earned the only victory for Team RAW at Survivor Series after winning the triple threat tag team match to prove that they are the superior Tag Team Champions in WWE.

When AOP returned to WWE a couple of months ago, it looked like they could pose a serious threat to The Viking Raiders. However, with AOP's involvement in a different storyline, this feud is unlikely to take place anytime soon. Hence, The Viking Raiders may not defend the twin titles at TLC.

#2 Charlotte Flair will find a partner against The Kabuki Warriors

Charlotte Flair is struggling to find her feet after failing to lead Team RAW to victory at Survivor Series. The Kabuki Warriors have made things difficult for the Queen, including their match this week. Charlotte squared off against both members of The Kabuki Warriors in a Handicap match this week, but the numbers game proved to be detrimental for the former as she lost her second match in the past two weeks.

The rivalry between The Kabuki Warriors and Charlotte Flair has been interesting so far, hinting that Charlotte could be the next challenger for the Women's Tag Team Championships. However, Charlotte can't do it alone, and she needs a partner, who could pose a legit threat.

There are a couple of notable names who could align with the Queen to form a new Tag Team. Natalya, who teamed up with Charlotte a few weeks ago, could be a great choice to join hands with Charlotte.

Becky Lynch, the RAW Women's Champion, could be another option, considering the fact that they locked horns with The Kabuki Warriors recently at Starrcade. If Charlotte gets a match against The Kabuki Warriors at TLC, she could choose either Natalya or Becky Lynch as her Tag Team partner.

#1 AJ Styles and Randy Orton will have another feud after WrestleMania 35

AJ Styles lost the United States Championship last week, ending a remarkable title reign that lasted 134 days. Randy Orton played a pivotal role in the title bout and helped Rey Mysterio in winning the match. It's unclear if Styles will get a rematch against Rey Mysterio, but WWE certainly hinted at the next opponent for the 'Phenomenal One' on RAW this week.

Drew McIntyre called out Randy Orton, and the two men exchanged harsh words. Nevertheless, The OC interrupted the segment and took a shot at Orton, who was the primary reason for Styles' defeat last week.

The OC eventually attacked Orton, but Humberto Carrillo, Rey Mysterio, and Ricochet came out to rescue the Viper. Another hint was given after the main event of RAW. Styles was celebrating after earning the victory for The OC but Randy Orton delivered a vicious RKO to Styles and sent a strong message to the 'Phenomenal One'.

Styles and Orton faced each other earlier this year at WrestleMania 35, where the former was victorious. However, Styles was a face and Orton was a heel. Since the roles are reversed now, it should be an extraordinary feud, considering their experience and proficiency in the ring.
