October marks the road to Survivor Series, with an important milestone along the way in the form of WWE Hell in a Cell (in addition to the WWE Draft, of course). But otherwise, it's the calm before the storm, a month where not a lot is expected to happen.
However, this is WWE and things are always happening irrespective of the month. WWE will want to keep the ratings up and the viewers entertained and for this reason, this may be a month filled with surprises galore on RAW and SmackDown.
So, let's look at 5 major developments that may happen in WWE in the month of October and what impact these things may have upon the roster.
#5 Jey Uso is forced to turn heel after losing his match and joins a new WWE faction led by his cousin, Roman Reigns
Roman Reigns has specified that his upcoming match with Jey Uso will have the highest of stakes, meaning that if Roman Reigns is able to defeat Jey Uso, his cousin may have to join Paul Heyman and The Tribal Chief as a member of the Samoan Dynasty stable. This faction could also have members such as Naomi and Samoa Joe, not to mention Nia Jax, once she is done with her Tag Team Championship run. It would truly make for a very formidable WWE faction and yes, they could all come together to take the fight to RETRIBUTION at WWE Survivor Series.
And yes, Jimmy Uso too can be a very integral part of the stable once he has returned to WWE from injury, with The Big Dog holding the WWE Universal Championship, The Usos holding the WWE SmackDown Tag Team Championships, and Naomi holding the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship.
#4 Randy Orton becomes the brand new WWE Champion
Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton are clearly not done with one another. It was established during last week's edition of WWE RAW that Drew McIntyre and the legends that helped him retain the WWE Championship at Clash of Champions had a lot of mutual respect for one another, and by the end of the episode, all of them were laid out after a brutal attack from Randy Orton, setting the stage for a big match.
And if you have any doubts about whether or not this feud is going to continue all the way to Hell in a Cell, you just have to look at this Tweet above from the WWE Champion. However, Randy Orton cannot afford to lose for a third time against Drew McIntyre and the time may just be appropriate to put the title around Randy Orton's waist at long last. And then the new WWE Champion and Drew McIntyre can be separated and could become a part of two different brands altogether.
#3 Triple H returns to WWE RAW and goes straight after his friend Randy Orton
Triple H may be a lot more involved as an executive at the moment than as an on-screen performer, but Randy Orton is on fire at the moment, and for him to continue his momentum in this current WWE run, he has got to keep killing legends, as his name suggests. And so Triple H may just have to put on a pair of boots and step into a WWE ring once again to put his friend over.
We all know how close Triple H is to WWE Hall of Famers Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels, and one assumes that because of his tenure in the company, he has become equally close to Superstars like Christian and The Big Show as well, and so he's the right person to come storming up to WWE RAW to exact revenge against The Viper. The fact that these two men have a history as a member of the WWE faction- Evolution, could make the story even more entertaining.
#2 Zelina Vega offers to manage WWE Superstar Aleister Black at long last
We know that Zelina Vega distanced herself from Andrade and Angel Garza not long ago to step into the ring with Asuka, to compete and vie for the WWE RAW Women's Championship, but then she came up short. We also know that Andrade is not her biggest fan right now, and so it raises the question of what Zelina Vega's future in WWE will eventually look like. One has to imagine that if she manages Aleister Black during his WWE run, she could get a lot of her steam back.
Aleister Black has just been lost in the mid-card on WWE and doesn't feel like the same level of the star that he was, back when he was a part of the NXT brand.
The fact that Zelina Vega and Aleister Black are a real-life couple also makes this WWE pairing great. People are a lot more aware of what happens behind the scenes in the year 2020, so this pairing makes sense.
#1 Braun Strowman and Drew McIntyre clash over the WWE Championship on RAW Underground
Thus far, RAW Underground has only been a sideshow attraction in WWE, and even though we've seen a clash between two behemoths in Braun Strowman and Dabba Kato during the show, RAW Underground hasn't really been established as a serious WWE property yet. This could change in October, if Braun Strowman, who is the undisputed king of RAW Underground invites Drew McIntyre into the fight club for a clash over the WWE Championship.
This could happen during the build-up to Hell in a Cell or could even happen after Hell in a Cell, provided Drew McIntyre remains the Champion following his inevitable clash with Randy Orton.
Drew McIntyre vs. Braun Strowman is one of the last big-money WWE Championship fights that we have not seen yet in WWE featuring the current WWE Champion, and to keep it going, we will need to see it in various environments.
A match on RAW Underground for the WWE Championship just seems appropriate for the cinematic era.
