5 things that must happen on WWE RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week

WWE booked an exciting week of wrestling for fans. NXT hosted Vengeance Day, while Elimination Chamber took place in Saudi Arabia on Saturday night.

Bobby Lashley suffered an injury inside the Chamber before he could become a part of the match. His injury allowed Brock Lesnar to run through the other competitors and win the WWE Championship again.

Becky Lynch put an exclamation mark in her title reign by defeating Hall of Famer Lita in Jeddah. She will now face Bianca Belair at WrestleMania 38 for the RAW Women’s Championship.

On the SmackDown side of things, Roman Reigns ran through Goldberg to remain the Universal Champion. He will face Lesnar in a Champion vs. Champion match at WrestleMania 38.

The Usos attacked The Viking Raiders before their SmackDown Tag Team Championship match could begin. The two teams will likely collide for the title in the coming weeks.

Bron Breakker retained his NXT Championship after a hard-fought match against Santos Escobar. Who will be Breakker’s next challenger for the top title?

Mandy Rose will also be searching for her next challenger on Tuesday night. With TakeOver: Stand & Deliver just weeks away, NXT will look to build some top rivalries.

Take a look at the five things that must happen on WWE RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week.

#5. The RK-Bro must win back the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships

Randy Orton and Riddle had a good run with the RAW Tag Team Championships. After holding the titles for over 140 days, RK-Bro lost it to Alpha Academy.

The two teams have remained in a rivalry ever since, and RK-Bro has gotten the better of Alpha Academy on several occasions. Chad Gable and Otis will now have to give RK-Bro a rematch for the championships.

This week on RAW, WWE must allow the two teams to put on a good match for the titles. Riddle and Orton must get the better of Alpha Academy and pin Gable to win back the championships.

It looks like WWE is planning to build a match between RK-Bro and the team of Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens. The two teams have already rubbed shoulders, and Rollins defeated Randy Orton on RAW last week.

The result will allow the two teams to compete for the RAW Tag Team Championships. It will lead to a great rivalry that could stretch to WrestleMania 38.

#4. Finn Balor must return to challenge Damian Priest on WWE RAW

Damian Priest has been ruling the WWE RAW mid-cards with the United States Championship in hand. The creative team has tried to turn the superstar on a few occasions but ended up pushing him as a babyface.

Priest defeated AJ Styles last week to retain his title on RAW. Finn Balor must make his return to the brand this week to challenge The Archer of Infamy for the title.

Balor and Priest have already worked together on NXT and have great chemistry. They have competed against each other and teamed up for a few shows.

The Archer of Infamy has enjoyed a good run with the title in hand, and it's time for him to drop it and move into the top title picture soon. He has already held the title for over six months.

Balor hasn't done anything significant since his loss at the hands of Roman Reigns in a Universal Championship match. WWE must bring back The Prince and put him in the title picture straight away to give Priest a good rub.

#3. Imperium must take out Solo Sikoa on WWE NXT

Last week, the Creed Brothers defeated MSK to win the WWE NXT Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. After the match, Imperium arrived to send a warning to the victors.

The NXT Tag Team Champions were unfazed by Julius and Brutus Creed’s threat. Meanwhile, Gunther was looking to shoot to the top again and take home the NXT title soon.

Solo Sikoa came out to confront the heel faction. He wasn’t amused by Gunther and Imperium’s claims, challenging the former to a match in the ring.

The Street Champion of the Island is ready to take make his mark in NXT. However, Imperium should show its heelish side before Gunther and Sikoa settle matters in the ring.

Imperium must attack Sikoa this week and take him out with some brutal moves. The angle will bring more heat towards Gunther and the NXT Tag Team Champions. NXT can then book a match between Imperium and Solo Sikoa & Creed Brothers.

Following the contest, fans could get a one-on-one match between Gunther and Sikoa at TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.

#2. Bron Breakker must attack Dolph Ziggler on WWE NXT

Bron Breakker defended his WWE NXT Championship against Santos Escobar last week. The two men had a good contest that was filled with some distractions by Legado del Fantasma.

However, the biggest interference in the contest came from Dolph Ziggler. The Show Off appeared out of nowhere and rocked Breakker with a Superkick behind the referee’s back.

Tommaso Ciampa leveled Ziggler after the attack while Breakker finished off Escobar to retain his title. Ciampa and Ziggler will now compete in a one-on-one match this week.

The Blackheart has all the momentum going into the contest. Meanwhile, Ziggler is looking to get his hands on the NXT title. WWE must allow Breakker to interfere in the contest and take out Ziggler, causing a disqualification in the process. This must also lead to an argument between Ciampa and Breakker.

It would be the perfect way to increase the tension in the NXT Championship picture. The angle could lead to a Triple Threat Match between the three men at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.

#1. Brock Lesnar must get in Roman Reigns’ face on WWE SmackDown

Roman Reigns defeated Goldberg at WWE Elimination Chamber to prove his point. The Tribal Chief choked out the Hall of Famer to remain the Universal Champion in a quick match.

Meanwhile, Royal Rumble winner Brock Lesnar entered the elimination chamber to compete in a WWE Championship match. He eliminated all four active superstars in the contest to win the title and become the champion once again.

WWE has confirmed that Reigns vs. Lesnar at WrestleMania 38 will now be a Winner Takes All contest. It looks like the company will unify the two titles after the show.

On this week’s SmackDown, Reigns must come out with Paul Heyman by his side to boast about his win. He must then turn his attention to Lesnar, who he will face at WrestleMania.

The Beast Incarnate must show up to get in Reigns’ face and deliver a clear warning to him. He must boast about how he ensured that their clash at WrestleMania would be a Champion vs. Champion match.

The creative team has written this story well, and fans can expect something big to happen at The Show of Shows. The company must start building towards the big match starting this week.
