5 things that could happen on RAW next week: Time to shake things up

#2 Big E, Rusev, and Ziggler come to RAW

There will be more than just these three, but I think they will find their way from the blue brand to the red brand. Big E may come with Xavier Woods, but I think New Day as a trio will be split up no matter what.

Kofi as a singles guy on SmackDown and Big E on RAW, but Big E and Woods may stay together to strengthen the RAW tag scene. Alternatively, Woods could end up on 205 Live.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Rusev has nothing going for him on SmackDown Live. On RAW, he has the Intercontinental Championship to vie for. Seth Rollins would be a great match for him, as would an eventual clash with Samoa Joe. That could be amazing. Rusev vs. Lashley has tons of potential as well.

Dolph Ziggler is largely irrelevant, but even if they don’t bring him to RAW to try to rejuvenate his career, he would be a solid guy to have on the roster for longer matches that fill time on a regular basis.

There’s no way he’s sniffing the Universal Title, but the IC Title could be available for him, and maybe he can even find new life as part of a tag team. If Jeff Hardy stays on RAW (though I do not believe he will), he and Ziggler could make a pretty darn good tag team.

About the author

I got my first big break writing for 411Mania back in 2004. I did a small spot in a big weekly piece that was written by one of the site's top writers. I quickly added the duty of being the live recapper for episodes of SmackDown, and in 2005 was given my own weekly column, which I did for a few years. I gave up writing (mostly) to start a family but got back into it, still at 411, a little over 3 years later. For another couple of years, I wrote 2-3 columns per week for the website before finding paid work elsewhere, and eventually wound up at SportsKeeda.

I am also the co-founder of the RBR: Weekly Wrestling Talk podcast, which started in the summer of 2005 and is still going strong today, almost 15 years later. Due to school, work, and family commitments, I left the team in 2011 but still remain a part of the family.
