WrestleMania season is over, and we are marching towards the next pay-per-view, Money in the Bank. The RAW after WrestleMania had some unforeseen surprises and the WWE Universe will be eagerly waiting for next week as the Superstar Shake-Up will take place.

Perhaps the most questionable moment of last RAW was the appearance of the Undertaker. Surprisingly, the Deadman skipped the Showcase of Immortals after 19 years, but he showed up on RAW. Moreover, the newly crowned WWE Champion Kofi Kingston appeared on RAW and main evented the show. The Freak Athlete Lars Sullivan made his main roster as he attacked Kurt Angle.

The next RAW is set to take place at Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada. Other than the Superstar Shake-Up, several surprises could happen on the red brand next week. Vince McMahon's billion dollar company will be aiming to produce another blockbuster episode of the flagship show.

Here we discuss four shockers that could happen on RAW next week.

#4 Samoa Joe could be traded to RAW to face Braun Strowman

Samoa Joe dominated the US Championship match at the Showcase of Immortals as he squashed the former WWE Champion Rey Mysterio. Joe certainly made a big statement in New Jersey, and he bragged about his victory on SmackDown Live this week. Braun Strowman shockingly interrupted the US Champion, and they had a brawl before Joe managed to escape a Powerslam from Strowman.

Without a shadow of a doubt, Joe's current momentum is impressive, and he is slowly building himself as a Destroyer. Considering Strowman showed up on SmackDown Live this week and attacked Joe, the latter certainly got a new challenger for the Championship.

The fans could get heavily invested in this feud as it is a fresh rivalry between the two superstars. Since Strowman did not have any singles match at WrestleMania 35, he could be back on right track with a US Championship match. Despite being a top guy of Vince McMahon's billion dollar company, Strowman never grabbed a singles title. Therefore, the Monster among Men will be aiming for his first singles title if Joe gets traded to RAW.

#3 Shayna Baszler might confront Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair lost the SmackDown Women's Title at the Show of Shows. The most coveted women's title of the blue brand was on the line after the Queen won it a few weeks back on SmackDown Live. Surprisingly, Charlotte did not appear on RAW or SmackDown Live this week, but she is expected to be back next week.

Considering Superstar Shake-Up will take place next week, we will see some NXT superstars on the main roster. Among the superstars from the developmental brand, the current NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler has a bright possibility of getting drafted to the main roster. Baszler had colossal success in NXT, and she will be aiming to make an excellent first impression on the main roster if she gets drafted.

Following a lengthy rivalry with Becky Lynch, Charlotte Flair might be searching for a new opponent after WrestleMania. The Queen also had long feuds with Sasha Banks and Bayley in the past, and the fans could demand a fresh feud.

There is no denying that Baszler could be a great choice for the Charlotte Flair and they could tear the house down in a bout. Though the two-time NXT Women's Champion is still the holder of the belt, we saw Kevin Owens make his main roster debut while holding the NXT Title.

#2 Becky Lynch could dismantle Lacey Evans

Becky Lynch made history at the Grandest Stage of Them All when she won the main event. The Man won both RAW Women's Title and SmackDown Women's Title by beating Charlotte Flair and Ronda Rousey. However, WWE already hinted a feud for the new double champion on RAW this week when Lacey Evans attacked Lynch.

Lynch was celebrating her victory at the Show of Shows, and she thanked the fans who supported the new champion throughout this journey. Lacey Evans interrupted the Man, but several people speculated that she might go back as she had been doing it for weeks. Surprisingly, Evans punched Lynch which led to a massive brawl, but the former managed to escape. Evans subsequently attacked Lynch on SmackDown Live this week.

It is no secret that the Sassy Southern Belle could be the new challenger of Lynch at Money in the Bank. It is the first main roster feud of Evans, and the rivalry is new for the fans. Following attacks on RAW and SmackDown Live this week, the champion could be seeking revenge. Hence, Lynch might assault Lacey Evans next week which could fuel the rivalry.

#1 Seth Rollins might turn on Roman Reigns

Seth Rollins became the new Universal Champion after slaying the Beast Incarnate at the Grandest Stage of Them All. The Beast Slayer has been a babyface for a long time, and he kept his promise to burn down Suplex City. Though Rollins conquered Lesnar, he took a shortcut to get the job done.

Rollins went low to take down the Beast which is unlikely to see from a babyface. The actions of Rollins suggest that Vince McMahon's billion dollar company might turn the Universal Champion heel in the next few weeks.

With the departure of Dean Ambrose, there is no chance of a Shield reunion. Moreover, Roman Reigns never got a title shot for the Universal Title which he never lost. The Big Dog skipped RAW this week, but he is anticipated to appear on RAW next week. It will not be surprising if he demands a Universal Championship match as he had to relinquish the belt due to leukemia.

Imagine Rollins goes low again after Reigns confronts Rollins for a title match. Considering Rollins had a fruitful run as a heel when he was the WWE World Champion, the company might follow the same path. The two Shield members offered astounding bouts in the past.
