5 Biggest things WWE could be planning for Monday Night Raw

With Monday Night Raw struck with another major blow with Braun Strowman's injury, WWE could be looking to bring some much-needed rejuvenation to the product tonight.

The more important aspect being the Intercontinental Championship Open Challenge by Seth Rollins that would certainly bring some exceptional wrestling to our screens.

The creative team is also laying significant emphasis on Ronda Rousey's last altercation with Nia Jax which could possibly lead into some sort of confrontation between the two tonight.

There's no denying that the company needs something fresh tonight, with many fans disappointed with how the previous editions have transpired.

So, after such alterations being brought to the product, what could Vince McMahon be planning for tonight? Let's find out.

Here are the 5 biggest things WWE could be planning for Monday Night Raw.

#1 Bray Wyatt answers Intercontinental Championship Open Challenge and defeats Seth Rollins

Time to push the Cult Leader

With Monday Night Raw losing most of its charm and grip, it's about time that the company starts fresh and rejuvenates the product by giving us something unexpected.

Bray Wyatt's exceptional return at WWE Starrcade has garnered a lot of adulation from the fans all over the world which could coerce Vince McMahon to insert him into his plans for TLC.

While Braun Strowman's return is still up in the air, the creative team could capitalize on the situation and catapult Bray Wyatt to the top of the industry.

There's no denying that the Eater of Worlds possesses all the credentials to work wonders under Vince McMahon, but his valuation within the squared circle has not been commendable.

Defeating Seth Rollins via Ambrose's interference or distraction could make Rollins' rivalry with the Lunatic Fringe more personal and would give some new life to the Intercontinental Championship under Bray Wyatt.

#2 The Rowdy One makes a gigantic statement by defeating Tamina

A stepping stone

With Ronda Rousey getting in a major feud with Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair, her ruthlessness would be on full display tonight on Monday Night Raw.

After she went ahead to warn the Queen for what the heinous act she committed at Survivor Series, the Rowdy One displayed her willingness to stay a fighting champion.

Considering that her altercations with Nia Jax have just begun, the Raw Women's Champion would be looking to bring the fight to the Face Breaker and Tamina.

Since nothing has been announced as of yet, there's a huge possibility that the creative team continues to focus on Ronda Rousey's fighting Champion moniker.

With that being said, a match with Tamina seems a genuine possibility tonight, with the Raw Women's Champion making a gigantic statement by taking the Samoan to a world of annihilation.

#3 Baron Corbin cancels his match with Finn Balor and introduces his new opponent as Lars Sullivan

Time for a new start

If Baron Corbin can do it once, Baron Corbin can do it again. The Lone Wolf is widely hailed as a chicken heel that backs out of fights at the last moment whilst fulfilling his duties as the Acting General Manager of Raw.

Since he has an attitude similar to Corporate Kane, he could very well back out of his scheduled match with Finn Balor tonight and introduce a new opponent for him.

The new opponent could possibly be Lars Sullivan. With the company needing some major changes in their product, introducing The Freak in such style won't be a problem.

While I would never want the creative team to exploit Finn Balor's services to bury him on such a stage, there's a strong possibility that it could definitely happen.

He is the only face on the entire red brand that could make for a believable program with him, considering the fact that all the major superstars are busy with their own rivalries.

#4 Drake Maverick accidentally costs AOP to lose the Raw Tag-Team Championships to Bobby Roode and Chad Gable

This is a possibility

As much as we want the creative team to bring something new to the table, there's no way the company could solve the problem that lies in the tag-team division.

Authors of Pain suffered an embarrassing loss to Bobby Roode and Chad Gable last week which has brought them a title opportunity this Monday Night on Raw.

Since the focus has been more upon comedy segments than in-ring matches, the creative team would still continue to push Drake Maverick as a circus clown in this bout.

With him becoming more of a comedic act, there's a strong possibility that his actions could accidentally cost AOP the Raw Tag-Team Championships tonight.

While this would have been pretty easy if the company would have not pushed the comic angle too far, but judging by how things happen on Monday Night Raw, there's no denying that this could easily happen and break the internet for all the wrong reasons.

#5 Drew Mcintyre takes the spotlight and reveals his true ambition

Time to give him the mic

Ever since he has returned in such fine style, the company has been very reluctant in exposing Drew Mcintyre and has firmly protected him throughout.

While the fans all over the world definitely admire his willingness to thrive in this business, it's about time that the Scottish Terminator continues to address the WWE Universe on a far more regular basis.

With Lars Sullivan clashing with Finn Balor, this could provide an ample opportunity for the creative team to bring the spotlight to the former NXT Champion.

Confessing his true ambition of becoming the next Universal Champion and mocking the Beast Incarnate for being a part-timer could build things up for a heated encounter between the two in the future.

Something of this stature would keep the Universal Champion as the focus on Raw, and would bring legitimate attention to Drew Mcintyre as the superstar who is not afraid of Brock Lesnar.
