WWE RAW had some big matches this week as The Bloodline made its way to the Red brand. Roman Reigns and The Usos took on New Day in what was expected to be the biggest match of the night.

However, Bobby Lashley attacked Reigns and Big E to set up an even bigger match. Shayna Baszler also shined on RAW this week. The Queen of Spades seemed to return to her roots and injured Nia Jax on the show.

Tommaso Ciampa celebrated his NXT Championship victory on Tuesday before talking about the revamped brand in front of the WWE Universe. He teamed up with Bron Breakker for a big match later in the show. Is Breakker going to turn on Ciampa soon?

Roderick Strong defeated KUSHIDA with the help of Diamond Mine to win the NXT Cruiserweight Championship. Will Strong have a better run with the title than KUSHIDA did?

Bianca Belair finally hit the KOD on Becky Lynch on SmackDown this week. Will WWE allow The EST to win the SmackDown Women’s title on Sunday?

'The Demon' Finn Balor had the last laugh on SmackDown this week. Is The Tribal Chief going to lose his title at Extreme Rules?

Take a look at the five biggest questions from WWE RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week.


#5. Is Bobby Lashley going to lose his push WWE RAW?

Bobby Lashley won the WWE Championship with the help of MVP. Over the past several months, The All-Mighty has become one of the most dominant superstars in WWE.

Last week, Big E cashed in his Money in the Bank contract and defeated an injured Lashley for the WWE Championship. After a big six-man tag team match on RAW, Lashley took down Big E and Roman Reigns to set up a big main event.

Even though Lashley was the fresher superstar in the contest, he couldn't defeat the WWE and Universal Champions in the non-title match. In the end, Reigns speared Lashley and picked up another big victory.

It was the perfect chance for Lashley to get in the title picture again. Instead, he took the pin and will likely get out of the championship picture on RAW.

Is the former WWE Champion losing his push after a dominating run? Will MVP’s injury hurt Bobby Lashley’s run on RAW in the months to come?

MVP did well to take Lashley to the top of the card. It also looked like he was getting The Hurt Business back together after Lashley’s WWE Championship loss. However, those plans may have been scrapped following the injury he sustained at the hands of Randy Orton.

#4. Is WWE NXT showcasing too many new superstars too soon?

WWE NXT went through a big change a couple of weeks ago. NXT 2.0 is much more colorful and already has a couple of new champions.

Meanwhile, NXT also brought forward new superstars in the past couple of weeks. Bron Breakker and Von Wagner have been the most prominent newcomers.

However, last week’s episode saw WWE reveal some more new faces to fans. While it’s good to see new talent coming into the company, is WWE showcasing too many new superstars too soon?

Too many new faces could push away hardcore fans of NXT. The creative team could slowly look to reveal new superstars.


#3. Is Tommaso Ciampa going to lose his WWE NXT Championship soon?

Tommaso Ciampa picked up the WWE NXT Championship after Samoa Joe relinquished it due to an injury. Right after Ciampa’s title win on NXT 2.0, Bron Breakker confronted The Blackheart.

Last week, Breakker and Ciampa teamed up to defeat Ridge Holland and Pete Dunne. Bron Breakker was the star of the contest and pinned Holland to win the match for his team.

Is WWE looking to put the title on Breakker sooner rather than later? Is Ciampa just a transitional champion on NXT 2.0?

It looks like the creative team has a lot of faith in Bron Breakker. He could end up winning the NXT Championship very soon.

#2. Why did Liv Morgan lose against Zelina Vega on WWE SmackDown?

Liv Morgan recently got her first big match which will be held at Extreme Rules. She challenged Carmella for Sunday night’s event after nearly breaking her nose.

Just a couple of days before Extreme Rules, Liv competed against Zelina Vega on SmackDown. The two women had a quick match that saw Vega pick up the victory. Vega hit Code Red to win convincingly rather than rolling up her opponent.

Why did the company allow Liv to pick up a loss just a couple of days before her big match? Will the loss have an impact on her momentum heading into Extreme Rules?

WWE could have given Liv Morgan a convincing victory to build her as a threat to the former SmackDown Women’s Champion.


#1. Is Sonya Deville going to return to the WWE SmackDown ring soon?

Sonya Deville hasn’t competed in the WWE ring since her Loser Leaves WWE contest against Mandy Rose. However, she has been playing the role of an official well over the past several months.

This week, Deville once again denied Naomi a match on SmackDown. She called out security to escort Naomi back to the locker room. Is WWE building towards a rivalry between Sonya Deville and Naomi? Will it lead to Deville’s return to the SmackDown ring?

The storyline is building well, and that could be the angle the creative team is working towards. Naomi could prove to be a great opponent for Deville back in the ring.
