5 biggest questions from WWE RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week

New WWE Champion Brock Lesnar has been at the top of his game since his return to the company last year. He appeared on RAW and ripped right into his next challenger to show where he stands.

Meanwhile, Doudrop emerged as the new challenger for Becky Lynch's RAW Women's Championship. Will the two heels put on a good show at the Premium Live Event?

Grayson Waller failed to prove himself against AJ Styles on WWE NXT. Will The Waller Effect make its mark against LA Knight soon?

The Dusty Rhodes Classic Tournament is also set to take off soon. Who will win the cup this year and likely become the next top tag team in NXT?

Seth Rollins is all ready to take on Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at Royal Rumble. Is The Visionary going to break Roman's record-breaking reign?

Aliyah also picked up a record-breaking win over Natalya on SmackDown. Will she finally get a push or disappear from the action once again?

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

#5. Did WWE catch fans off guard by crowning new RAW Tag Team Champions?

Alpha Academy had been in a rivalry with Randy Orton and Riddle for a long time. WWE kept the RAW Tag Team Championships out of the equation during their matches on the brand.

Last week on RAW, the stakes were raised as the two teams competed for the tag team titles. Riddle tagged Orton in the match, but could not save his partner.

Not only did Otis slam Orton to the mat, but he also pinned The Viper to win the RAW Tag Team Championships for Alpha Academy.

Did the creative team make the right decision by allowing the titles to change hands on Monday night? Were fans prepared for a title change after a great run by the RK-Bro?

Many fans were already looking forward to seeing RK-Bro defend their titles at WrestleMania. A few fans wanted to see RK-Bro defend the titles against Seth Rollins and Kevin Owens at the Premium Live Event. However, Rollins' move into the Universal Champion picture may have changed plans.

It was good to see the company do something different on Monday night. However, the sudden change of titles has shaken up the entire RAW roster.

#4. Does Brock Lesnar even need Paul Heyman by his side anymore?

Brock Lesnar returned to WWE at the 2021 Royal Rumble. Lesnar came in without Paul Heyman by his side, who was aligned with Roman Reigns at the time.

The Beast Incarnate started showing off his mic skills and built himself up again. Now that Heyman is beside him, Lesnar is still leading his promos from the front.

This week, Lesnar ripped into Bobby Lashley all by himself. He cracked some jokes that took social media by storm.

Does Lesnar need Heyman by his side anymore? Will he realize that he's good by himself soon to get rid of his advocate?

WWE may be building towards an angle where Lesnar figures that Heyman is of no use to him. That could take The Wise Man back to Reigns.

#3. Why is WWE putting down NXT veterans week after week?

At NXT TakeOver: WarGames, the newcomers of NXT 2.0 ran over the veterans of the brand. Weeks later, Bron Breakker defeated Tomasso Ciampa to win the NXT Championship.

Last week, Carmelo Hayes defeated Roderick Strong to win his NXT Cruiserweight Championship. This week, Pete Dunne lost in a match against Tony D'Angelo.

Why is WWE constantly handing out veterans of NXT losses on Tuesday nights? Is the creative team done with the veterans and only wants to build newcomers?

It would be better for the company to move the veterans to the main roster. Constant losses will only hurt the legacy of NXT before the revamp.

#2. Will Grayson Waller's loss affect his standing on WWE NXT 2.0?

Grayson Waller competed in his first main event bout on WWE NXT 2.0 this week. Waller took on RAW's AJ Styles in one of the biggest matches of the brand.

Waller put on a good fight and nearly put The Phenomenal One away. However, Styles used his experience to stay in the contest and defeat the newcomer.

Will the defeat hurt Waller's value in NXT? Or will the loss to a top RAW Superstar not affect his value?

No one can deny the fact that Waller got a great rub in the match. However, WWE could have protected the Australian star from a clean loss to keep his value high on the brand.

#1. Should Lita win the WWE Royal Rumble this year?

Hall of Famer Lita made an appearance on SmackDown. Lita explained that she was looking to win the Royal Rumble Match and headline WrestleMania this year.

The legend was soon interrupted by Charlotte Flair. The Queen took shots at Lita and looked to get under her skin. Instead, Lita flattened her with The Twist of Fate to make a bold statement.

It was good to see the legend hit her signature move on the top champion of SmackDown. Should the company allow the Hall of Famer to win this year’s Royal Rumble match? Will it be a good decision to have another legend go for a title at WrestleMania?

The Show of Shows usually hosts the biggest stars in the industry. It won’t be a bad idea to see Flair vs. Lita for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. However, the creative team should only go down that route if it allows Lita to win the title.
