WWE Raw has some of the biggest stakes on the episode before Christmas, and while some are for a championship match, the others are for a build-up to the match at Royal Rumble.
During Monday Night on Raw, there are various things that can happen including a title changing hands, and also a wrestler fighting his former boss and putting him in his place.
The world of professional wrestling has seen a huge change since the McMahon clan took charge, but it feels like there is more than what meets the eye for the fans and also what can be expected as one amongst the four biggest shows of the company air next month on 28th of January, 2019.
The Monday Night show is definitely going to be the talk of the town as Christmas and New Year approach, but here are a few things that can be expected to happen in this week's episode of Raw.
#1 Charlotte Flair interrupts Women's Championship match

Ronda Rousey issued an open challenge last week, and the same turned into a match where all the performers from the women's division fought for the chance to be the #1 contender for the women's title.
After a great match, Natalya got the right to be the contender for the title, and may I say that this match has a lot going on in the background. Natalya has a feud with Ruby Riott going on right now, and so it is a definite possibility that the group will interfere and cost Natalya the match.
Also, with the recent match made by Paige between Asuka and Becky Lynch not reaching its fruition, it is a possibility that 'The Man' and 'The Queen' would take their shots on the Rowdy champion, and stir up a possibility of a match at Royal Rumble.
#2 The Show Specific Superstar Line-Up is over

Vince McMahon returned to Raw last week on Raw and shocked the world when he announced that the McMahon-Helmsley regime is taking charge of the major Red and Blue brand on Monday and Tuesday Night. Triple H is already taking care of the show on Wednesday, and so with the same people in-charge it is a possibility that the restriction of being a part of just one show would be lifted.
This would be a great way to celebrate the start of some great storylines and also bring the best from all brands to any show of your choice. It is a good way to increase ratings, and Mr. McMahon is focused on the same right now, especially since Smackdown moves to Fox in 2019.
We can expect an announcement of the same from either Triple H or Stephanie McMahon during the show.

#3 Tag Team Titles turn into a fatal four-way at Royal Rumble

The Revival is entitled to an opportunity at the WWE Tag Team Championships this week, and while it would a great idea to put the titles on this great tag team, it wouldn't be a great idea to remove the titles from the team of Bobby Roode and Chad Gable so early.
What if this match gets interference from Lucha House Party and other tag teams and then the match is turned into a fatal four way at the Royal Rumble.
If The Revival wins the match at Royal Rumble, they can claim that they have conquered the best on the show, and then have some new team challenge them down the line. With the show-based restriction possibly removed, we may see 'The War Raiders' answer the challenge, and we would be ready for some great match in the dormant tag team division on Raw.
#4 Paul Heyman-Braun Strowman confrontation

WWE shot the Christmas Week episode of Raw already last week, and Braun Strowman came to the ring to answer a challenge from Paul Heyman without a sling. While some may not be able to believe it, the fact that Braun Strowman is working twice as hard to be available for the match at Royal Rumble, we can see the ratings rise to exponential levels as Braun Strowman is over with the fans.This segment should be either the closing segment or when it seems like the penultimate segment didn't do well. While it is sure that Heyman wouldn't 'Get These Hands,' we can't say so about Brock Lesnar.
Do you think something else will also happen? Sound off in the comments.
