The RAW after Crown Jewel was fast paced and we once again saw NXT Superstars invade the show, just like they did last week on SmackDown.

This week's show set up several matches for Crown Jewel as well as confirm a few matches, including a massive champion vs champion vs champion triple threat match.

Let's take a look at all the possible fallouts from the RAW after Crown Jewel:


#5 Brock Lesnar to face Rey Mysterio at Survivor Series; potential rematch with Cain Velasquez

Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman opened the RAW after Crown Jewel show, with Heyman officially confirming that The Beast, the current WWE Champion, has moved to RAW.

Heyman said that Lesnar can do whatever he wants and then proceeded to try to find Rey Mysterio, backstage. Mysterio was nowhere to be found as Lesnar seemed in a mood to attack the veteran Superstar.

Lesnar and Heyman returned to the ring once again and asked the commentators where Mysterio was, before F5-ing new RAW commentator, Dio Maddin. Mysterio then arrived from nowhere, a lead pipe in tow, and attacked Lesnar, sending a clear signal to the current WWE Champion.

Mysterio then challenged Lesnar to a match, saying: "You took what's most important to me, I'm going to take what's most important to you!" referring to Lesnar attacking Mysterio's son, Dominick.

We are set to see Mysterio and Lesnar facing off at Survivor Series, which happens later this month. There could be a possibility that this storyline between Mysterio and Lesnar could set up a rematch between Lesnar and Cain Velasquez for Royal Rumble. Velasquez lost in quick time at Crown Jewel in his debut match, but WWE could very well set up a rematch in the future as the rivalry between the two former UFC stars has a lot to offer.

Many fans thought that there was a possibility of Lesnar facing off against the Universal Champion, "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt at Survivor Series in a Champion vs Champion match, but that's not the direction WWE want to go.

#4 Team Flair vs Team Hogan rematch for Survivor Series?

At Crown Jewel, which happened last Thursday, we witnessed a 10-man tag team match where WWE Hall of Famers Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan captained two teams. Hogan's team, which consisted of Roman Reigns, Ricochet, Rusev, Ali, and Shorty G, defeated Team Flair, which had Randy Orton, Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, Drew McIntyre, and Shinsuke Nakamura.

On this week's RAW, Rusev took on Drew McIntyre, with Bobby Lashley and Lana looking on. The match ended in a disqualification after Lashley attacked Rusev with his crutches, following which Randy Orton appeared from nowhere to land an RKO on Rusev.

Rusev's teammate from his Crown Jewel tag team match, Ricochet, came to his aid, and saved him from a painful beatdown.

We could possibly see a tag team rematch from Crown Jewel, where Ricochet and Rusev face off against Bobby Lashley, and one of Randy Orton or Drew McIntyre.

#3 Charlotte and Natalya to get a title shot

The Kabuki Warriors, the current women's tag team champions, turned heel a few weeks ago, which opens up the possibility of quite a few matches for them to elevate the women's tag team division. On RAW this week, we saw them face off against a new tag team in a non-title match.

Charlotte Flair and Natalya - the latter returning to WWE after a historic first-ever women's match in Saudi Arabia - successfully defeated the reigning women's tag team champions.

Natalya won her team the match when she put Asuka in a sharpshooter and the Japanese Superstar tapped out. This new team could possibly challenge the Kabuki Warriors for a match at Survivor Series. We could perhaps see a team from NXT or SmackDown added to the match as well because the women's tag team titles can be defended on any brand.

Charlotte and Natalya have achieved a lot in the WWE, and a reign as the tag team champions could be another feather in their caps in the near future.

#2 Seth Rollins to switch brands?

Triple H told Seth Rollins that he's either "with me or against me", but before he could make a decision the RAW locker room made their way to the ring, led by The OC. Then, there was an ambush by NXT's Superstars before the RAW locker room cleared the rival brand's talents.

Triple H's offer for Rollins to join him at NXT could actually happen as The Architect does not have much going on for him on RAW. The current champion on RAW is Brock Lesnar, with whom Rollins has feuded quite a few times this year.

It would be a stale and unoriginal idea for WWE to rehash the Rollins-Lesnar feud. It's unlikely that Rollins will want to step down and face off against some other Superstar on RAW with no title on the line, while there aren't many top Superstars that he can feud with as well.

With NXT now on television, WWE could maybe move Rollins to that brand, just like they did with Finn Balor, and have him feud with Adam Cole, the current NXT Champion. Rollins and Cole faced off on RAW in an exciting match, but an attack by The Undisputed Era on Rollins ended the match with the title still remaining around the waist of Cole.

#1 Becky Lynch to face Shayna Baszler and Bayley at Survivor Series; set up future Ronda Rousey match

It's official - the three women's champions of RAW, SmackDown and NXT will face each other in a triple threat match at Survivor Series. The match was confirmed on RAW after RAW Women's Champion Becky Lynch's interview was interrupted by current NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler.

The duo had an epic staredown with Baszler warning Becky that she is not Ronda Rousey, after Lynch told her that she had beaten her friend at WrestleMania earlier this year. Lynch alluded to Rousey, whom she defeated earlier this year at WrestleMania, and who happens to be a good friend of Baszler, part of the Four Horsewomen of UFC.

Rousey has not been seen on WWE television since her WrestleMania loss, and despite rumours suggesting that she has retired from WWE, Triple H revealed recently that she is still a part of WWE and will return in the future.

This match sets up a rematch for Rousey perfectly, who could perhaps even return at Survivor Series to help her friend, Baszler.

The match will be the first time that Baszler faces off against either woman. It is set to be a barnstormer, and perhaps one of the most-awaited matches of the night at Survivor Series.

It will be Baszler's second match in two nights as she is set to compete at NXT TakeOver: WarGames, which will happen the night before Survivor Series. The current NXT Women's Champion is the captain of her team, in the first-ever women's WarGames match in WWE.
