Despite the underwhelming storytelling presented to the audience on a weekly basis, WWE struck the right chord with Extreme Rules. The pay-per-view, live from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, was shocking, entertaining, and creatively assembled.

One cannot deny the alterations that have already been made ever since Heyman and Bischoff were announced as the Executive Directors of both the red and blue brands. With Heyman and Bischoff now ready to take Vince's billion dollar company on the right track, some interesting decisions could be made tonight on Raw.

Whether it be WWE's presentation of their in-ring action or whether it be the overall style of the show, some significant change is incoming, courtesy of these two geniuses.

With Brock Lesnar already shocking the world by winning the Universal Championship last night, will Seth Rollins look for redemption, or will the creative team line-up some other superstar to take up the challenge?

Since Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff's inclusion to the creative room has the audiences excited, both of them could convince Vince McMahon to make some 'bold' decisions ahead of SummerSlam.

Here are the 5 biggest shockers Paul Heyman could be planning for Monday Night Raw.


#5 Drew McIntyre savagely assaults The Undertaker and promises to retire him at SummerSlam

If the conclusion of last night's epic tag-team encounter between The Undertaker, Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre, and Shane McMahon is anything to take into account, then The Phenom may have some unfinished business with Drew McIntyre.

The Scottish Psychopath, who had his moments last night, was one Claymore Kick away from decimating The Undertaker before Roman Reigns took charge and speared the former NXT Champion out of action.

Since many fans took notice of the way WWE presented McIntyre, there's a genuine possibility Paul Heyman would want to elevate The Scottish Terminator's stock.

With The Undertaker displaying his incredible work ethic last night, a blockbuster collision with Drew McIntyre could be the right move forward and could perhaps propel the latter as the biggest heel in the company.

It's about time Vince McMahon pushes McIntyre as a one-man wrecking machine and with rumors already linking the two to tussle it out at the biggest party of the summer, this one seems likely to happen tonight.

#4 Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff abolish the 'Wild Card Rule' and announce a fresh WWE Draft

Judging by how WWE has made a mess out of the brand extension, it's about time that Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman confront each other and start afresh.

WWE's announcement of bringing Heyman and Bischoff as creative directors has the audiences excited and with rumors of Vince giving them his support, they could start on the right track.

There's no denying that WWE's version of Superstar Shake-Up has failed to bring any excitement on television and has only led to the downfall of the product. With both the executive directors deciding to confront each other, abolishing the 'Wild Card Rule' and bringing back the WWE Draft would start things on a high note.

Separate rosters and a feeling of competition between the two could propel WWE's stock again in the eyes of the WWE Universe, and it should all start tonight on Monday Night Raw.

With Raw Reunion all set to happen next week, announcing a WWE draft could keep the fans hooked and enticed for the next episodes of Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live.

#3 The New Daniel Bryan tries to enter the Firefly Fun House

After dropping the SmackDown Tag-Team Championship to The New Day, a disturbed Daniel Bryan was interviewed backstage, and the former WWE Champion had some interesting views on his loss. With Bryan questioning his position on the main roster, the former member of The Wyatt Family is now promising to go somewhere he has never gone before.

Since his objective of propelling to unimaginable heights could only bring something special to our screens, I feel this could be the ideal way to bring Bray Wyatt back to television. Bryan's reluctance to fall down the card could force the former WWE Champion to seek help from The Eater of Worlds, who shares tremendous history with Daniel Bryan as well as Erick Rowan.

If Bryan manages to grab Wyatt's attention, these two together with their creativity could give us something for the ages.

#2 AJ Styles and The Good Brothers pitch an interesting offer to Finn Balor

A.J. Styles' recent heel turn has the fans buzzing. The Phenomenal One joined forces with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows and is now heading to Monday Night Raw with the United States Championship around his waist. With the former WWE Champion now working as a heel, this could be an ideal time for WWE to do the necessary and insert Finn Balor into the mix.

Whilst the company has not presented The Extraordinary Man as a legitimate Champion, this could be an ideal position for The Phenomenal One to pitch an interesting offer to Balor.

Considering that Vince McMahon's billion dollar company is lacking an unbeatable stable on the main roster ever since The Shield was broken, aligning Balor and Styles could propel the two to unimaginable heights, especially Finn.

#1 Paul Heyman announces a tournament to determine Brock Lesnar's next challenger for SummerSlam

With the WWE Universe yearning to see an interesting blend of in-ring action and storytelling on a weekly basis, Paul Heyman's inclusion in the mix could lead us to a palace of possibilities.

After Brock Lesnar decimated Seth Rollins to win the Universal Championship last night, multiple superstars on the red brand would be willing to step up and challenge The Beast Incarnate. Though many believe Rollins will be the one to tussle it out with the Universal Champion, the inception of an interesting tournament could give the fans something to look forward to.

A tournament featuring the likes of Braun Strowman, Bobby Lashley, Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn, Cesaro, and more could be the right way forward to determine the next challenger.

Giving exciting in-ring action with something on the line could bring some recognition back to Monday Night Raw, as well as the Universal Championship.
