This week's RAW will be the penultimate show before Clash Of Champions 2019. With a whole lot of storylines being built up thus far, one can expect some unparalleled action from the this week's episode. The show comes live to us from the Madison Square Garden, New York, NY.
Last week's RAW was an absolutely brilliant show. It set many things straight as far as Clash Of Champions is concerned. We saw AJ Styles interrupting the contract signing for the Universal Championship match between Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman. This week, the contract signing is slated to happen again, only this time, Stone Cold Steve Austin will act as the moderator.
Furthermore, Becky Lynch would be looking to extract revenge on Bayley and Sasha Banks for last week's chair shots while the King of the Ring semifinal will feature Baron Corbin, Ricochet and Samoa Joe taking on each other in a triple threat match.
There are many things to look forward to for this week's RAW and in this article, we will take a look at the four biggest things WWE could be planning for the Red Brand's last episode before Clash Of Champions.
#4 Samoa Joe advances to the King of the Ring final
Last week on RAW, the King of the Ring quarterfinal clash between Ricochet and Samoa Joe came to a thrilling end as there was a double pinfall that saw both the Superstars advance to the next stage. This week, the semifinal will be a triple threat match between Baron Corbin, Ricochet and Samoa Joe.
The reason why Joe would be the one to advance to the finals was owing to an altercation between him and Chad Gable on SmackDown last week. Joe and Gable had a little exchange of words before the latter's win against Andrade in the quarterfinal and their feud could be re-ignited in the final of the tournament.
Gable will face Elias in the semi-final this week on SmackDown and if the former advances to the final, WWE would want to plot a proper heel against him, and who better than the Samoan Submission Machine.
#3 Becky Lynch gets her revenge on Sasha Banks and Bayley with help from Charlotte Flair
Over the last couple of weeks, Becky Lynch has had to bear the brunt of multiple attacks. Last week, she was overpowered by The Boss 'n' Hug Connection and going into Clash Of Champions, Vince McMahon would want Lynch to get some kind of revenge on Sasha Banks and Bayley.
This rivalry so far has certainly appeared one-sided as The Boss has deceived The Man on numerous occasions. Come Monday night, one can expect Becky to unload on Banks and Bayley.
It has been announced that Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch will team up this week to face Banks & Bayley which could mean that the former pair will be keen on extracting revenge on the latter, who now look a formidable alliance and could pose a lot of problems in the near future.
#2 The Fiend manhandles Stone Cold Steve Austin
Currently, it looks like Bray Wyatt doesn't have an opponent for Clash Of Champions. But that doesn't mean that The Fiend wouldn't show up on RAW this week.
Stone Cold Steve Austin is coming to RAW this week to act as the moderator for the contract signing between Rollins and Strowman. The Fiend has manifested into a legend killer as he has attacked Kurt Angle, Mick Foley, and Jerry Lawler. This week, one can expect him to find an opening to attack Austin.
A couple of WWE legends have already suffered The Fiend's wrath and it is possible that we could see the Mandible Claw locked in on Austin on Monday night.
#1 AJ Styles is added to the Universal Championship match at Clash Of Champions
This week on RAW, it is possible that AJ Styles will interfere again in the contract signing for the Universal Championship match. While there were no major consequences when the Phenomenal One interfered last week, one could expect Styles to earn a match against Braun Strowman in the main event of RAW if Styles does make an appearance again.
If Styles beats Strowman, that will add him to the Universal Championship match, making it a triple threat contest for both titles, the Universal Championship and the United States Championship.
This is one possibility which looks most likely to happen. With only one week to go for Clash Of Champions, Styles doesn't seem to have a new challenger for the United States Championship Title and having him involved in the Universal Title picture seems to be the only logical option to go with.
