WWE's TLC PPV, the final PPV of 2018 in the WWE, threw up a few surprises, including two title changes, which could kick off various storylines.

Dean Ambrose defeated Seth Rollins and became the Intercontinental champion for the third time in his WWE career, while Asuka won her first title on the main roster as she became the SmackDown Women's champion, defeating Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, thanks to a little help from RAW Women's champion Ronda Rousey.

Rousey, meanwhile, defeated Nia Jax via submission earlier int he night, and will most likely begin a new feud on RAW soon.

Braun Strowman got a little help from other RAW Superstars to defeat Baron Corbin, who is no longer the RAW General Manager, while The Monster Among Men gets a shot at Brock Lesnar's Universal title at Royal Rumble, next month.

It was announced earlier this week that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, would make an appearance on the RAW after TLC and "shake things up" on the red brand, as ratings and viewership has dipped significantly.

Here, we take a look at 4 Superstars who could return or debut on RAW after TLC.


#4 Kurt Angle

Well, yes, Kurt Angle returned at TLC, but he hasn't been seen on RAW since he was decimated by Drew McIntyre. Angle wasn't fired as GM of RAW but was sent on vacation by Stephanie McMahon.

Baron Corbin lost to Braun Strowman at TLC, after Angle along with Apollo Crews, Bobby Roode, Chad Gable, Finn Balor, and Heath Slater attacked Corbin, after which Strowman got the pin to win the match.

The Olympic champion could maybe be reinstated as the GM of RAW by Vince McMahon to bring back fans to the show, or could we maybe see Angle return as a full-time in-ring performer? Angle hasn't retired yet or lost his appetite for wrestling so there is a possibility of it happening.

#3 Fandango

Following their move to RAW from SmackDown, the team of Tyler Breeze and Fandango, have not had great luck on the show. Fandango injured himself in July when he tore his left labrum in his shoulder, which was set to put him out for 6 months.

Recent reports have indicated that Fandango is set to return to RAW and WWE, as he is almost fit and ready to go.

Fandango was set to return in January, but he may be a little ahead of schedule as he, alongside Tyler Breeze, made an appearance on The Edge and Christian Show That Totally Reeks of Awesomeness, so we could maybe see the duo back on RAW in a comedic segment.

Since Fandango's injury, Tyler Breeze has returned to NXT, facing Ricochet for the NXT North American Championship.

#2 Bray Wyatt

Most fans have been wanting to see Bray Wyatt back on RAW since his hiatus from the red brand earlier this year. This week's RAW could be the perfect place to bring back the former leader of The Wyatt Family, as RAW desperately needs a Superstar with his gimmick.

We could maybe see the return of Wyatt as well as his last tag team partner Matt Hardy, as it seems like Hardy is fully recovered from his injuries and raring to go.

RAW's tag team division, to put it lightly, is woeful at the moment, and even though the team of Wyatt and Hardy aren't going to set the world on fire and get people talking, they could make things interesting with their unusualness and their weird gimmicks.

I can see them having a good feud with current RAW Tag Team champions, Bobby Roode and Chad Gable.

#1 Lars Sullivan

Lars Sullivan is coming to the main roster, and I have a strong feeling it will be on RAW. Sullivan could very well be the catalyst that changes things around for RAW from here on.

Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer noted that there could be a possibility of Vince McMahon maybe giving a few debuts on RAW this week.

“I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if Vince showed up on Monday and he fired Baron Corbin and maybe he debuted a few guys and he really shook the thing up and he gave us some matches we want to see and a few happy endings and the show ends and everyone’s really excited. If that happens, everybody’s got to remember there’s still gotta be another show next week,” said Alvarez.

Sullivan ticks all the boxes in what Vince McMahon requires in a top guy - big, strong and menacing. We can't wait!
