Last weekend was an incredible one for wrestling fans around the globe as we not only got a top-notch NXT event in the form of Worlds Collide, but the Royal Rumble pay-per-view on Sunday was something to really get the WWE Universe going.
NXT got in some huge matches and moments at Worlds Collide as Imperium came out as the top faction of the NXT brand after defeating The Undisputed Era.
RAW scored big on Sunday, as both Royal Rumble winners came from the Red brand, who will likely get a top Championship match at WrestleMania 36.
NXT Superstars such as Bianca Belair and Shayna Baszler also shined bright at the Royal Rumble, while the return of Edge helped turn the entire company on its head.
In this article, we will look at the 5 things that must happen on all three brands of WWE this week after such an eventful weekend.
#4 Rey Mysterio joins the babyfaces
Rey Mysterio has taken center stage on RAW for quite some time now. While the legend teased retiring from the ring a few months ago, his son Dominick pulled him back into the game and he’s been on a rollercoaster ride ever since.
After his rivalry with Brock Lesnar, Mysterio seemed to have gotten into the books of the ‘Monday Night Messiah’ Seth Rollins. However, Mysterio’s prominence in the United States Championship scene kept him out of the storyline involving Rollins and his new heel faction.
Now that Mysterio seems to have come out of the US Championship scene with Andrade, losing in a Ladder match last week on RAW, he should help Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe in their battle against Rollins, Buddy Murphy, and the AOP.
WWE is trying to make a great faction around Rollins, and putting them up against so much star power will only help them grow and get more notice and heat.
As the premiere babyface of RAW, Mysterio needs to enter this storyline in order to help bring more heat towards Rollins, Murphy, Akam, and Rezar.
#3 Drew McIntyre comes out to confront Paul Heyman
Last night, the roof of Minute Maid park came off after Drew McIntyre outlasted 29 other men and eliminated Roman Reigns to finally win the Royal Rumble match and point to the WrestleMania sign.
McIntyre had been waiting for his big break, and he earned it by winning the Royal Rumble instead of sitting back and hoping that WWE would hand him a chance to compete for a top title.
The biggest elimination in the match also came at the hands (or feet) of The Scottish Psychopath who Claymore kicked WWE Champion Brock Lesnar out of the match and eliminated him.
This Monday night, Paul Heyman should come out to address the WWE Universe and come up with excuses as to why his client lost the Royal Rumble match, and how Ricochet low-blowed him which resulted in his elimination.
This should bring out McIntyre who must not only confront Heyman but ask him to bring his client and see what McIntyre does to him, setting up their match for WrestleMania 36 in the process.
Not only will this be the perfect way to build McIntyre after his huge victory, but also immediately build towards Lesnar’s next challenge while allowing ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt to look for another victim on SmackDown.
#2 Dakota Kai outsmarts her former friend
Dakota Kai was once the biggest babyface in the entire company who used to work hard to earn her opportunities and try to go big. As a babyface, she squared off with the then NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler a couple of times but suffered the same fate both times.
At NXT TakeOver: WarGames 2019, Kai turned heel and attacked her best friend, Tegan Nox. Since then, Nox was out of competition taking time off to heal the injuries she picked up at the hands of Kai.
Now that Nox is back, and Kai has cost her a Championship opportunity during the Battle Royal a couple of weeks ago, the two women will go head to head on NXT this week.
While The Girl with The Shiniest Wizard will try her best to exact revenge from the now heelish Kai, it should be Kai who must pick up the first victory in this rivalry.
Not only will this help Kai establish herself as a formidable competitor, but it will also likely bring a lot of heat towards her which is required to build on her new character.
#1 The Broserweights win big
Full Sail University has been witnessing an epic tournament in the face of the 2020 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. Last week on NXT, The Grizzled Young Veterans downed the Undisputed Era to reach the final round od the tournament, while Pete Dune and Matt Riddle defeated Imperium to take the final spot.
This week, Riddle & Dunne will take on The Grizzled Young Veterans to crown the winners of the 2020 edition of the tournament. The tournament has been won by teams such as Finn Balor & Samoa Joe, Authors of Pain, and Aleister Black & Ricochet in the past which shows the level of competition is very high.
This week, we must watch The Broserweights defeat the team from NXT UK to bag the trophy and get on track for an NXT Tag Team Championship opportunity.
While The Grizzled Young Veterans are a phenomenal team, WWE needs to push Dunne and Riddle further in this one and give them something to do while the singles competition is all crowded up on NXT.
Dunne and Riddle also have a bitter past with the Undisputed Era, and we could watch them ultimately defeat Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly for the NXT Tag Team Championships at NXT TakeOver: Portland.
