SummerSlam is over and now, we move on to a brand new era of action for WWE's flagship brand. We saw a string of title changes and developments on the show that should have a massive impact on the future.
Raw comes to us from the Barclays Center once again, and for the third time in a row, fans are in for a treat. What twists and turns can we expect on SummerSlam's fallout show for the red brand?
We have a list of five major surprises that we could witness on the Raw after SummerSlam:
#5 Unfinished business from SummerSlam
The Fatal 4-Way match at SummerSlam was everything that it promised to be, and we wouldn't be surprised to see it as a 'Match of the Year' candidate when the time comes around, at the conclusion of 2017.
However, the highlight of the match was when Lesnar and Strowman came face to face, and the crowd simply erupted, wanting to see the two behemoths clash. We sense that WWE senses money in this feud, and may want to book it for a later date, in a singles format.
The Fatal 4-Way match actually made Strowman look strong, and for once, "The Beast" looked vulnerable. We believe that if Lesnar does come out to the ring during Raw, he may be confronted by Strowman and challenged to a contest.
Considering how dominant WWE made Strowman look, Lesnar may actually be the underdog in this particular contest.
Don't be surprised to see a face to face confrontation between the two on the fallout episode of Raw.
#4 A glorious call-up
The man with the catchiest theme song in WWE's history could be on his way up, according to many sources on the internet. WWE officials are very high on Bobby Roode, the man who lost his NXT Championship at Brooklyn, only a day prior.
Roode has charisma, he has flair and he certainly has the in-ring ability to become a major player on the main roster, for a really long time. How far can this TNA original go, on the main roster?
We think it is possible that he makes his way to Raw, as soon as the next episode. This would give babyfaces on the roster such as Finn Balor and maybe even Jason Jordan, some opponents for the immediate future.
Roode, while new to the main roster, is a veteran in the wrestling business. He could change the whole topography of the main roster.
An ideal scenario would be Roode's song interrupting one of Elias' singing sessions. Unfortunately, we see him being booked in a better position than in a program with 'The Drifter'.
#3 Raw Women's Champion, one more time?
Yes, we all saw Sasha Banks defeat Alexa Bliss clean in the middle of the ring, and ideally, we'd have expected Banks to embark on a long reign with the belt. However, in our estimation, Bliss could easily recapture the title, because of her contractual rematch.
Here's why we think that The Boss will lose her title soon. Check out the link, shared below.
Alexa Bliss is the face of Raw's upcoming pay-per-view, entitled No Mercy that takes place on September 24th. It would make sense for her to go to the pay-per-view as champion, considering she's being highlighted in the advertisement linked above.
Who knows, really? She may reclaim her title as soon as Raw!
#2 Will The Dead rise again?
What's next for Roman Reigns, you ask? Well, a certain WWE legend was spotted coming to Brooklyn, and he has unfinished business with Roman Reigns. After all, Roman Reigns did pin him at Wrestlemania, giving the impression that he had retired The Undertaker.
Jim Ross and Kurt Angle have gone on record to say that they believe that The Undertaker is not yet done. We could definitely see him returning at Raw, and threatening Roman Reigns with retribution.
This could be a program that keeps the audience occupied until Survivor Series. The audience would really be interested in seeing how "The Dead Man" takes his revenge on the "Big Dog".
#1 The free agent confronts Samoa Joe!
This is not just an assumption. This is a certainty. Free Agent John Cena is coming to Raw, and this gives us the opportunity to see him feud with a number of people for the very first time. When is he arrive? Well, in just a few hours!
Imagine the kind of feuds he can have with Braun Strowman, Samoa Joe or well, Roman Reigns! Imagine how he can elevate youngsters like Big Cass or even Elias. Imagine the many possibilities that free agent John Cena can bring to Raw.
We expect him to take on Samoa Joe first. A man that he faced long back, when they were both in WWE's then developmental system, called Ultimate Pro Wrestling. They haven't wrestled in almost seventeen years, but their chemistry should be absolutely fantastic. From what we know, Joe has the utmost respect for John Cena.
Get ready for the franchise. Also, get ready for our live coverage of Raw, in a few hours. See you soon!
