5 superstars who could join Finn Balor and Elias to counter Corbin, McIntyre and Lashley

The Acting General Manager of RAW, Baron Corbin has formed a heel faction with the Scottish Psychopath, Drew McIntyre and the Almighty Bobby Lashley. Lio Rush is also a part of this newly-formed team.

The trio have decimated the top 3 stars of Monday Night RAW in Braun Strowman, Finn Balor and Elias in the past two weeks. While, Braun Strowman has to undergo an elbow surgery due to the vicious 3-on-1 assault last Monday, Balor and Elias were tormented this week on RAW.

At the moment, it seems like Braun Strowman will be out for another 2-3 weeks to recover from the injury. This would leave the face superstars with a disadvantage of 2:3 against the heels.

The WWE Creative cannot have Corbin, Lashley and McIntyre beat Balor and Elias till then. They need to merge a superstar along with Finn and Elias to equal the odds and here are the 5 prime candidates who can align with the faces.

#5 John Cena

John Cena, Finn Balor and Elias would form a great team

Though the leader of Cenation is currently busy with his projects outside the WWE, a one-off return until the Monster recovers cannot be ruled out. Cena has always stood up against the heel Authority figures and could once again return to defeat the Authority. Cena has had issues with Elias in the past but the Guitarist has turned face now and the two can work as partners on TV.

This seems to be the least likely option but given that the Monday Night RAW roster lacks top face superstars and Braun Strowman too is injured now, it makes sense to have the 16-time World Champion back on TV for a while. Cena could also have a dream confrontation with Drew McIntyre by being a part of this feud.

#4 Bray Wyatt

Bray Wyatt made his return to the WWE at Starrcade

The Eater of the Worlds, Bray Wyatt has been absent from WWE TV ever since his tag team partner Matt Hardy decided to step away from the ring. Wyatt recently made his return at WWE Starrcade where he accepted Baron Corbin's open challenge.

He defeated the Acting General Manager of Monday Night RAW in a singles match to mark a triumphant return. The fans expected Wyatt to return to RAW this week but the same did not happen.

Perhaps, the WWE Creative team wants Wyatt to return with a huge pop from the audience. They could have the team of Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre and Bobby Lashley destroy Finn Balor and Elias next week on RAW and suddenly the lights would go off.

Bray Wyatt would suddenly appear in the ring and would help the faces clear the ring receiving huge cheers from the WWE Universe.

#3 Sami Zayn

Sami Zayn has been away from in-ring competition since June!

The underdog from the underground, Sami Zayn has not been on RAW since June due to a gruesome injury. His last televised match was against Bobby Lashley at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view.

Though he portrayed a heel character on WWE TV back then, he can return as a face to join the team of Finn Balor and Elias.

The reason why Zayn would align himself with the faces could be revealed as Bobby Lashley. After all, the Dominator was the reason why he had to stay out of the ring for such a long time.

To add more emotion to this story, Sami can also say that Lashley was the one who was responsible for Kevin Owens' absence as the Almighty Bobby Lashley had injured Sami Zayn's best friend on an episode of Monday Night RAW.

#2 Dolph Ziggler

Dolph Ziggler has shockingly been ignored by the WWE Creative as a part of the heel faction

Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre had formed one of the most formidable teams on RAW and the duo were also a part of the "Dogs of War" faction along with Braun Strowman. However, the WWE Creative has kept Ziggler away from McIntyre of late. The Show Off is not a part of the recently formed heel faction.

Ziggler too has fought against the Authority in the past and this story-line could also help the WWE Creative team split Ziggler and McIntyre. The Grand Slam champion was a part of the latest RAW episode where he battled the Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins but not even once did he say anything about the faction formed by McIntyre, Corbin and Lashley.

WWE could pull off a shock by having Ziggler join the team of Balor and Elias turning him face in the process.

#1 Kurt Angle

Where is the Olympic Gold Medalist?

Kurt Angle was last seen on WWE TV ahead of WWE Survivor Series where he was squashed by the Scottish Psychopath, Drew McIntyre. Kurt Angle is still the permanent General Manager of RAW and has not been fired by RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon yet.

Angle could join Balor and Elias for two kayfabe reasons. The first being, his position as the General Manager of RAW and the second to avenge his loss against Drew McIntyre. The Olympic Gold Medalist needs to return to WWE TV since he cannot let his position as the permanent General Manager of RAW, slip away without any efforts to stop it from happening.
