5 Last Minute Rumors Heading Into WWE Raw Tonight (6 May 2019)

Who would have thought that with two weeks left before the MITB pay-per-view of 2019, WWE would still be struggling to maintain their views. Well, let's just be honest here, everyone with enough experience watching WWE over the last few years knew that this was going to happen at some point.

During last week's episode of Monday Night Raw, WWE drew their lowest rating in the brand's history, and if you watched all three hours of that broadcast, then you're just part of a small bunch of fans that didn't change the channel in the third hour of the flagship show.

It is truly sad that in 2019 the company that gave us stars like Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena and The Rock can't seem to keep their audience from turning the TV off at the sight of their product. However, this isn't something new, and WWE has found a way to bounce back in the past.

So, with that said WWE could have a big episode for the red brand planned, as rumours have made it out to seem that way, and with some intriguing speculation going into Raw tonight, it seems like the show could be worth a watch.

#1 Big Returns

Could we see a superstar like Goldberg return?

The one thing that could get WWE out of the rating slump they have fallen in might be the solution of bringing back some of their biggest names to WWE TV, but the problem with that answer is the fact that it is simply impossible to just bring back some of WWE's legends in such a short span of time.

But rumours have indicated that this very well could be the case, as we all know that Undertaker, Goldberg and Brock Lesnar are all scheduled for the Saudi Arabia show in June. Moreover, rumours have stated that WWE would probably use these big stars on Raw in the next few weeks, as that could serve as a short term solution to their problems.

This is the sort of rumour that could turn out to be true, or it could be a false dream, however, if WWE brings back their most iconic stars, it would be a huge turn in the rating tide for them. People would want to see the likes of the Undertaker and Goldberg once again. But will it do anything for Raw in the long run? Well, that is for WWE to think about.

#2 Daddy's Home

Rey Mysterio is a legend of the industry that has nothing left to prove, that is why his return to the company was sort of odd, as many thought the legendary luchador was done with the WWE. But rumours at that time stated that Rey only returned to Vince McMahon's land of giants due to his desire to make a place for his son in the company.

Most of you probably know Mysterio's son Dominick from the infamous custody battle Rey contested with the late great Eddie Guerrero back in the day, which didn't happen in the court of law, but was fought for in a ladder match at Summerslam (crazier things have happened in WWE). Now it seems like Dominick would carry on his fathers legacy by becoming a wrestler in the company.

This has lead to speculation that Dominick could become the target of a seething Samoa Joe this week on Raw, as Joe was pinned by Mysterio last week on Raw. This would be really interesting, as WWE has been building a story around Dominick's dislike for Joe for a long time now, and it would interesting to see how it folds out.

#2 Wyatt Family Reunion

The best addition to Wyatt's creepy show?

Bray Wyatt's return to WWE was nothing like anyone expected, as the former leader of the Wyatt Family ditched his forest dweller gimmick and has now repackaged himself as a twisted kids-show host.

At first this looked like one of WWE's worst ideas, as Wyatt's previous gimmick was perfectly fine, and all he needed was a bit of protection from the creative team to guide him on the path to success, but that was never going to happen. Therefore, this new persona seems like it could be Wyatt striking lightning in a bottle.

The subtle hints in the Fire Fly Funhouse skits of Wyatt being a crazy person are the reason why this new gimmick has been a huge success with the WWE Universe, and according to rumours Wyatt's one-man show could receive a huge boost.

Luke Harper asked for his release from WWE publicly on Twitter, and while many thought Luke was on his way out of the company, it seems WWE is not going to let that happen, as they allegedly don't want their released stars to go to AEW or rival promotions. So could we see Harper and Wyatt work magic on Wyatt's new show this week?

#4 AJ Styles Goes Heel

AJ Styles has been the top face of Smackdown Live for over two years now, the face that ran the place and was WWE's go-to guy on Tuesday nights. He held every singles title on the brand, worked the mid-card, and contested classics with younger stars, but on Raw it seems AJ 's role will be a bit different.

Many have predicted that Styles will turn heel in his fued with Seth Rollins over the Universal Title, and rumours might have confirmed this notion. Speculation states that we could see Styles reunite with his former Club members Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson on Raw, moreover, with Money in the Bank just a few weeks away, this seems like the best time for WWE to pull this off, as its either tonight or at the pay-per-view itself.

#5 Invasion Angle

The invasion angle could have been one of the biggest angles in wrestling history, as the thought of WWE vs WCW back in the day was reason enough for any wrestling fan to tune into Money Night Raw, but as you probably know, that didn't turn out as fans would have expected it to.

Well, it seems like we could see the creative team dig deep into their bag of tricks on Raw this week, as WWE is looking to start off Raw with a high to increase viewership, and according to rumours the trick the writers could pull out will be a shocking invasion angle.

Roman Reigns is expected to be on Raw this week, and why is that? Well, that is a question no one really knows the answer to, but some have theorized that Reigns could come out to start a war with the McMahon family which could see the Raw locker room come out to beat some sense into the former WWE Champion,but Smackdown's finest could also make their way into the arena to back Reigns up.

This is an interesting rumour, as WWE booking an invasion at this time of the year where Survivor Series is months away is odd, but if this is their solution to the record low ratings, then so be it.
