This week's WWE Monday Night RAW will take place from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA.

WWE is likely to go ahead with the build for Crown Jewel, despite the status of the show being shrouded in uncertainty.

There is a very real chance that Crown Jewel might get cancelled. If this is the case, WWE will have to put all the matches on another PPV or cancel them altogether. Survivor Series makes the most sense because it's the upcoming PPV on 18th November 2018.

The WWE World Cup doesn't look as though it is getting cancelled, though, with the WWE continuing to advertise the tournament and qualifying matches for this week's programming.

Crown Jewel is not the only event on the horizon though, as the WWE will also continue the build for the historic all-women PPV, Evolution. Some exciting matches have already been made official for the event, with the main-event match being set up on last week's Raw.

In this article, we will take a look at five amazing things that could happen on the 15th October edition of WWE Raw-


#5 The Heel Bobby Lashley

Was this the right decision?
Was this the right decision?

Last week we saw Bobby Lashley defeat Kevin Owens in a one-on-one match. After the match, we saw Lashley turn heel when he attacked Kevin Owens and injured his knee. As it later turned out, Kevin Owens was legitimately injured forcing the WWE to book the angle to get him off the television.

The interesting thing is that the guy was having fun insulting Elias & Owens along with his manager Lio Rush. And now he has turned heel for some reason. I can't find a good reason as to why WWE did this. Some suggest that he's facing John Cena next so maybe that's why he did so.

Bobby Lashley wasn't doing anything good as a face, so maybe turning him heel could be a better thing. Expect him to explain his actions on RAW and we hope WWE has planned something good for him now.

#4 Seth Rollins VS Drew McIntyre, World Cup Qualification Match

WWE has announced that the Intercontinental Champion, Seth Rollins will face one-half of the RAW Tag Team Champions, Drew McIntyre this week on RAW. The winner will advance to the World Cup tournament.

The Shield has been battling The Dogs of War for weeks now. But throughout their feud, Drew McIntyre has been very carefully protected by the WWE. They have made him look strong, even when his team have taken a defeat, which could be an indication that the WWE might have big plans for the Scottish Giant.

It'll be good to see someone from outside of the US qualify for the World Cup, given the fact that all of the competitors so far are from the USA. McIntyre should pick up the victory here, it would do him a lot of good to win the World Cup.

Drew McIntyre has great potential and it's good to see that WWE has finally recognized that. This might finally be the time when he begins to make steps towards a singles competitor.

#3 Ronda Rousey responds to The Bella Twins

The Bella Twins finally made their much-rumoured heel turn on last week's RAW, attacking Ronda Rousey after a 6-woman tag-team victory against The Riott Squad.

Since then, the WWE has officially announced that Ronda will defend her title against Nikki Bella at WWE Evolution. Before that, though, she will respond to the Bellas' brutal attack from last week.

One thing about this feud is that no one is going to believe that Nikki Bella is going to beat Ronda Rousey at Evolution, so the WWE needs to book this in such a way that suggests Bella can outsmart the champion. We all know Ronda will not drop the title to Nikki Bella, so build and the match itself are the only two things that can make people invested in this.

#2 Dean Ambrose VS Dolph Ziggler World Cup Qualification Match

The WWE Universe awaits a reply from Dean Ambrose after he walked out on his Shield brothers on last week's Raw.

The Shield were unfortunate to lose their match last week. They came so close to winning but then Dean Ambrose failed to anticipate the Claymore Kick from Drew McIntyre. Ambrose felt disappointed and took the blame for the loss. He then said that he might not fit in The Shield after all.

This week Ambrose gets a chance to prove himself wrong. He will take on the other half of RAW Tag Team Champions, Dolph Ziggler, with the winner qualifying for the WWE World Cup tournament.

I think it's time that WWE starts to book Ambrose in some singles competition. The Shield is always together when they need to be but you can't always have a six-man match. Ambrose needs some credibility as a singles superstar before he turns heel. And I believe the longer WWE waits for this, the better the effect will be. I predict Ambrose to win this match and be a part of the World Cup.

#1 Brothers of Destruction respond to D-Generation X

D-Generation X challenged The Brothers of Destruction to a match last week, which was then made official for Crown Jewel. This means that Shawn Michaels will be coming out of retirement to wrestle once again, after eight years away from the ring. The biggest issue, though, is the fact that Crown Jewel itself is currently in jeopardy.

It is still unclear to whether or not the WWE is going to go ahead with the event, and it could mean that WWE does this match at Survivor Series instead. Either way, WWE is advertising both Undertaker & Kane for RAW as well as Smackdown this week. So we will definitely get to hear from them on one of these shows.

I think this is a great nostalgic moment for every WWE fan because no one ever thought that WWE would do this in 2018. WWE needs to go all out and make this match special for everyone. The Undertaker vs Triple H match was just a way to set this up so I would think that WWE is going to play all their cards now.

We could very well get a response from Kane & Undertaker on RAW and then possibly we can also get a confrontation on Smackdown 1000.
