4 Talking points Before Monday Night RAW(26/11/2018)  

Could we be looking at a new faction developing on RAW?

As mentioned in one of the earlier posts. There were so many things that panned down during the last edition of RAW.

Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.

Braun Strowman was manhandled in a three on one assault by a team of Bobby Lashley, Baron Corbin, and Drew Mcintyre. The tag team champions the "Authors of Pain" lost clean to Bobby Roode and Chad Gable.

On the women's side, there was Ronda Rousey issuing a warning to Nia Jax prior to their match at TLC, it would be interesting to see how that story unfolds. There are a lot of questions that need answering as well as interesting to see how a few storylines develop as well.


#1 What next for McIntyre, Lashley and Corbin?

Drew Mcintyre, Baron Corbin, and Bobby Lashley, now that's one heck of a muscle. Could we be looking at one new big (well...just look at them) faction getting formed in WWE?

Three huge men teaming up could lead to a new stable in WWE that could effectively end up ruling the locker room. Also, we need to see if there will be any consequences faced by the trio after what they did to Braun Strowman in the previous edition of Raw.

With Dolph Ziggler also injured and no surety of when he will return it looks more than likely that the Drew Mcintyre could fit into another stable and what a potent trio it could be.

Baron Corbin is also expected to lose the General Manager slot so it looks likely that the three could be paired together.

And what a potent combination it could be with three powerhouses in Bobby Lashley, Drew Mcintyre and Baron Corbin working together as heels on Raw.

#2 Will Ronda Rousey and Nia Jax finally clash this week?

Nia Jax is currently getting the biggest push of her career and Ronda Rousey is currently at the peak in Raw. Which way this feud will evolve is anyone's guess right now as Jax, on one hand, has been pushed by the WWE as the ultimate heel.

Rousey, on the other side, is projected as a fighting machine and the current leader of the RAW women's locker room. Then there is the added factor of Tamina, who could try to influence the matchup between the two by interfering.

Despite all this, Jax has still not clashed head-on with Ronda and it seems WWE management is thinking of trying something a different angle with regards to when The Irresistible Force would attack Rousey and what would be the aftermath of that.

#3 Will Chad Gable and Bobby Roode get a shot at the title against Authors of Pain(AOP)

Well, this is a tough cookie to crack. Bobby Roode and Chad Gable are working well as a team and they have won over the crowd as well. But it has happened so many time with Gable and Roode that they win one match and then gets jobbed out in the next.

The question though is, will WWE pull the trigger with Chad Gable and Bobby Roode? They have won over the crowd and are pretty impressive in the ring as well. Bobby Roode, by himself, is also a huge star and this could be a good push for him.

But on the other hand, Authors of Pain have just been made the tag team champions and they've done it after a dominant showing. Taking title away from them so early would discredit their run as well.

#4 How is the open challenge for the Intercontinental Championship going to pan out?

Seth Rollins announced this week on twitter that the Intercontinental Open challenge is back again as the IC title will be defended every week on Raw.

It would be interesting to see who takes up the challenge this week and what does it mean if Seth Rollins does lose the title during one of his defenses. Although with the way WWE works it looks highly unlikely that Rollins will lose the championship in any of these defenses.

Though it looks highly probable that Rollins will get attacked by Ambrose after the finish of the match. It would also be interesting to see if any new stipulation is also added in the match between the two for TLC.
