October will be remembered as the month that gave us the first ever all women's pay-per-view event entitled Evolution. It will also be remembered as the month that Roman Reigns declared to the world that he has been battling cancer. It was a month of soaring highs and extreme lows. And it's now come to an end, at long last.

What surprises could the month of November have in store for fans? I will list five surprises in this very article. Let me know your thoughts and opinion in the comments.
Do you think things will pick up for WWE next month as we approach closer to Survivor Series? Will the ratings also pick up as the brand vs. brand action and excitement begins?
I certainly do think this could be the case!
#5 Drew McIntyre becomes the next Universal Champion
It is almost a certainty that Drew McIntyre is destined to become a Universal Champion, sooner than later. What if he becomes Champion at Crown Jewel itself? He could be introduced into the match as a last minute entrant by Acting GM Baron Corbin and go on to defeat the two other men in the fray to pick up the ultimate prize!
This would certainly shake things up on RAW and get a lot more people invested in the proceedings for sure. McIntyre is certainly a beast between the ropes, he has a great look and can command the audience with his fiery intensity when he cuts a promo. He is certainly a worthy contender for being Universal Champion in due time.
WWE may pull off this swerve to get ratings back to the product. I wouldn't mind this development, really.
#4 Seth Rollins forms a brand new Shield
There is a new alliance that has been formed on SmackDown Live and they're formed of The Bar and The Big Show. The Shield would have been ideal opponents for the trio come Survivor Series. What if Rollins loses the Intercontinental Championship by then? And the plan is for him to lead a trio to war against the unit that I just mentioned?
If I had to pick members for a new Shield I would say Balor and Elias, if I consider the current RAW landscape. All three men have distinct characters and are supremely over with the WWE Universe. It could be a makeshift alliance for one night that would give fans a moment that they can totally relish.
Maybe the unit causes Ambrose to lose his mind even further and create a unit of his own. It could lead to interesting times on WWE TV.
#3 The Revival Become The RAW Tag Team Champions
When it comes to putting on a match, The Revival may be the best team in the world. And now that the Tag Team situation is vacant, I can absolutely imagine them having a title run. This is because they may be one of the few teams that can have a dream match against The Bar. They've also been wrestling as babyfaces recently.
They could go on to have a great feud with AoP down the line as well. These two teams could make the Tag Team situation on RAW exciting once again. The division had been relegated to the back of the line because of the Shield vs. Dogs of War feud and now it's time for both teams to shine and steal the show with quality Tag Team Wrestling again!
#2 Rey Mysterio becomes the next United States Champion
Speaking of titles that have lost their sheen in recent times, the US Championship comes to mind first. Shinsuke Nakamura may be the champion on paper, but he has no opponents with whom to tear it up and put on some absolute clinics, like we know he can. Until Rey Mysterio stepped into SmackDown Live, that is.
I would really like it if Mysterio were to become the next United States Champion. Not only could this make the title more prestigious and get more people talking, but he could also potentially have great feuds with Samoa Joe and Randy Orton. He could single-handedly make the mid-card on SmacKDown Live exciting to watch once more.
There is no doubt that Mysterio can still go at his age. Whether or not his opponents can keep up is the real question.
#1 Stephanie McMahon calls Shayna Baszler up as muscle
Ronda Rousey is the most believable Women's Champion, perhaps in the history of the whole division. If any woman can match her in terms of stature and physique, it has to be Shayna Baszler. The only problem is that the two women are the best of friends. This is an issue that can be resolved with utmost ease.
I can absolutely imagine Stephanie McMahon renewing hostilities with Rousey following Evolution. And she could call up Baszler as muscle, promising her the opportunity of a lifetime in the main roster. This could lead to a very interesting feud between the two MMA stars.
Baszler is perhaps the heart and soul of the NXT women's division and I'm sure she'll do well in the main roster as well. She just has the look and the work ethic that Vince McMahon really seems to like.
What other changes would you book in November, dear readers?
