4 biggest things we could see on RAW this week 

With TLC soon approaching, one would expect some huge storyline developments on this week's RAW. This episode of the Red Brand will come live from the Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, TN.

Last week's RAW was one of the best of the year and Vince McMahon would be looking to continue that momentum next Monday Night. Before going on, let's take a look at the important stuff that happened on last week's RAW and some things that are scheduled to happen next week.

Rey Mysterio became the new United States Champion this week, while Seth Rollins started a new feud with Kevin Owens. The Architect is set to issue an apology on RAW next week.

Furthermore, Asuka defeated Charlotte Flair on this week's RAW and now, next week, The Queen is scheduled to face both Asuka and Kairi Sane in a handicap match.

Also, after not appearing on RAW this week, both The RAW Tag Team Champions Viking Raiders, The RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch and The WWE Champion Brock Lesnar are expected to appear next week.

With all that in mind, let's take a look at the four things we might see on the Red brand this week:

#4 The Street Profits vs The OC vs The AoP for the #1 contender for the RAW Tag Team Championship

The Authors of Pain

The Viking Raiders haven't defended the RAW Tag Team Championship for a while now and it's almost certain that we will see them defend their titles at TLC this month.

Hence, we might see some tag team action this week on RAW, which is quite rare on the Red brand. We might see a #1 contenders match on RAW next week, involving The OC, The Street Profits, and The AoP.

One might think that if this match takes place, AoP might be the favorites to win and be next in line for a shot at the RAW Tag Team Titles.

#3 Multiple challengers emerge for the United States Championship

Considering the number of Superstars we saw last week, ready and willing to challenge for the United States Championship, it's quite possible that a TLC match for the United States Championship could be in the works.

As tradition says, TLC has always had one match, in which five to six Superstars battle it out in a brutal TLC Match. Hence, this week on RAW, we might see several challengers for the newly crowned United States Champion Rey Mysterio, which could then lead to a TLC match for the 16th of December.

#2 Randy Orton finds much-needed assistance from Ricochet

Randy Orton

Last week on RAW, Randy Orton assisted Rey Mysterio during the United States Championship bout as The Viper took out The OC, before hitting the RKO on AJ Styles.

That makes it pretty certain that Orton and Styles are going to feud, leading up to TLC. But due to the numbers advantage to the OC, we could see Orton forming an unexpected alliance. Therefore, this week, we could see The OC attacking Orton, only for Ricochet to run in and make the save.

#1 Samoa Joe returns to confront Brock Lesnar

Will we see this again?

It was really surprising to see that Brock Lesnar wasn't on last week's RAW, considering the huge win he got at Survivor Series. Paul Heyman always comes out to hype up The Beast after any win of his and hence, this week we could see something quite similar.

Lesnar also hasn't defended the WWE Championship for quite some time now and he would be gearing up for a new feud as The Beast vs Rey Mysterio and Family is done and dusted for now.

This could possibly lead to an in-ring return from Samoa Joe, who could make his return as a face and step up to be the next challenger for the WWE Championship at TLC. This would be a great way of getting Joe back into the fold, considering the lack of babyfaces on the Red brand. Lesnar vs Joe at TLC is something everyone in the WWE Universe would love to see.
