It is impossible to argue that even though SmackDown had a massive show planned for WWE Superstars following Crown Jewel, what eventually happened wasn't too shabby at all. The NXT invasion has received rave reviews from people who are generally not very kind to RAW or SmackDown on FOX.
What that essentially proves is that last-minute changes are never really a bad thing. And I do honestly believe that whatever the original plans for RAW may have been, it needs to be shuffled to accommodate what happened this week on SmackDown.
With that in mind, let me list five surprises that could happen on the show. Feel free to weigh in with your comments below, and let me know what potential dream confrontations you would like to see take place this week, ladies and gentlemen.
So now that an introduction is out of the way, let's dive straight into what we could potentially see.
#5 Velveteen Dream confronts Seth Rollins
A lot of people have been wondering where Seth Rollins goes next after his loss to The Fiend, Bray Wyatt. The possibility of a heel turn has been raised because the audience does not seem to be into the idea of Seth Rollins as a babyface. This is for no fault of his own because Seth Rollins does the best that is given to him but for a variety of other unfortunate reasons.
When he comes into the ring and contemplates his future, could we see The Velveteen Dream show up on RAW and take him on in a singles match to prove who the top dog really is? Both men are incredible workers and they are certain to have better chemistry in the ring than say, two guys like The Miz and Ciampa did, recently.
#4 The Undisputed ERA surrounds The OC
The fact that Gallows and Anderson became the 'Best Tag Team in The World' at Crown Jewel has to lead to some major storyline development down the line soon. Shane McMahon's gimmick was best in the fact that he was dubbed the 'Best in The World' after his victory in Saudi Arabia, and he ran with it as the top heel on SmackDown for months. So imagine that Gallows and Anderson are gloating in the middle of the ring when you hear the following words- 'Shock the System'.
The Undisputed ERA vs. The OC is a dream feud in a lot of ways and one can certainly see something like that play out on RAW as a prelude to Survivor Series 2019. It's something that the 'smart fans' who've defected to the competition would really like to see, and it could bring back some of the fans who stopped watching WWE once there was an alternative product available. Hey, we never thought we would see Daniel Bryan vs. Adam Cole on SmackDown, did we?

#3 Shawn Michaels and AJ Styles face off again
Shawn Michaels has been very vocal about the fact that he never wants to get into a ring again, but he did make an exception for the D-Generation X reunion in Saudi Arabia. The call of the squared circle is often too hard to ignore, ladies and gentlemen, which is why I do believe that there could be more matches in the pipeline for the man.
And if he does face off against someone from this generation, it needs to be someone like AJ Styles since many dub him the Shawn Michaels of today. He could always come back for a contest against someone like Baron Corbin, and of course, it would be a good match, but we need to see him take on someone like AJ Styles.
And the first seeds for that confrontation could be laid on RAW this week. We saw how Shawn Michaels has been soldiering and commandeering the NXT troops into battle recently and we could certainly see the two WWE favorites come face-to-face very soon indeed.
Imagine the reaction from the crowd if this were to happen!
#2 Becky and Charlotte are jumped by the MMA Horsewomen
A match between the Four Horsewomen of WWE and the Four Horsewomen from MMA has been discussed, debated, and spoken about quite a bit, in the past. We know that won't happen at least in the immediate future because Ronda Rousey is nowhere to be seen at the moment.
But in keeping with the spirit of the NXT invasion, what if Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch found themselves in the same ring, but were jumped by Baszler, Duke, and Shafir, pounding them into an absolute pulp? It would certainly make things very interesting indeed and even lay the groundwork for Ronda Rousey's big return to WWE.
As it stands, Baszler and Bayley are on course to collide with Becky Lynch at Survivor Series, which is, in a sense a clash between the Horsewomen of the two worlds, for sure. We all know that as special as Survivor Series is, it's usually the setup for something bigger down the line, which is why one should not be surprised if something for this nature were to happen on this week's show.
#1 Lashley finally confronts Brock Lesnar
Despite the fact that Bobby Lashley is currently embroiled in a feud with Rusev at the moment, the fact of the matter is that Lashley has been very vocal about wanting to face Brock Lesnar on social media. And now, we're finally at a stage where this match can actually happen because both men are on the same brand!
So imagine that Brock Lesnar is on the verge of assaulting Rey Mysterio when out of nowhere, Bobby Lashley comes in to confront The Beast Incarnate, teasing a huge match for the future. Based on how the audience potentially reacts to the confrontation, this is a program that can build on the sideline and come to fruition at a stage like maybe WrestleMania.
Lashley has never been allowed to showcase his potential since his arrival to WWE, always being asked to be part of sports entertainment segments with his sisters and now with Lana and Rusev. If he were to be booked in a feud with the top guy in the company for the WWE Championship, it may elevate his stock quite significantly.
