5 things to happen at the go-home Raw episode before WWE Evolution

Raw emanates this week from the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence, RI, and after what transpired during the main event of the show last week, it is safe to say that WWE is definitely planning to shift wrestlers between the two teams.

With Dean currently in a mix of emotions, and in dire need of a change, it makes sense if the shift happens, but it would be too quick if the same happens on this week's episode. With WWE Evolution just around the corner, it is a possibility that the company will put more focus towards the women's division during this week's episode of Raw.

Ronda Rousey cut the most amazing promo on Raw last week, and if you missed it, you missed the most amazing promo to come from the women's division. It was savage, and really tore down Nikki Bella, while it enthralled audiences and they were taken aback by such a powerful promo from Ronda who normally cuts very simple promos.

As reported by Sportskeeda, Paul Heyman was behind this promo, and when the beast on the mic helps you build a promo, you can be rest assured that firecrackers are going to happen in any segment he is involved.

While that was last week, lets take a look at what could transpire during this week's Raw.

#5 Elias feuds with Apollo Crews

Hello, I am Elias!

Elias has been putting on quite the performance on the red brand since he moved from the yellow brand. His promo of 'WWE stands for Walk With Elias' is getting him a lot of fan attention, and it must be noted that despite every week this promo being the same, it doesn't disappoint or feel repetitive.

Dana Brooke left Titus Worldwide, now it seems like Apollo Crews will follow in her footsteps, and we may see him move out of the faction to make a name for himself. If the same is true, there will be no better wrestler to feud with than Elias.

Because Elias is over with the fans, a feud with him will give Apollo the push he deserves.

#4 DX cuts a promo on Brothers of Destruction

After a powerful promo from 'The Brothers of Destruction', it is about time DX responds to the most amazing tag team in WWE. This feud will happen at WWE Crown Jewel, but with just 2 weeks left until the show happens, it is important that the veteran performers cut a powerful promo, and take down their opponents in the war of words before the fight inside the ring.

It must be understood that WWE is in hot water after the death of a journalist at the hands of Saudi Arabian nationals, and there were rumors that the show may be called off, but with the company pushing the promo for the show, it is important they build the show, and especially this match, considering the fact that the match at WWE Super Show-Down was a slow paced match, and fans were not really into the idea of a rematch.

#3 The Shield stands tall

Dean Ambrose's return was much anticipated, and when he did return during the go-home show of Raw before SummerSlam, it received a lot of fan appreciation, and a lot of speculation also did the rounds about a possible breakup of 'The Hounds of Justice.'

The same seemed to become true after Braun Strowman called out Dean Ambrose, and we have seen a tug of war between the members of 'The Shield.'

It is possible that 'Dogs of War' will try to take out Dean, but instead we will see him stand side by side with his brothers, and that would be a good idea because a break before Survivor Series won't be a great idea.

If Dean betrays his brothers at Survivor Series, it would start a lot of speculation and amazing storylines as Royal Rumble draws close, but the work is already done, and it is only a matter of time before it becomes a reality.

#2 Natalya and Ruby Riott fight backstage

Ruby Riott has been impressive since debuting on the main roster, and we have seen her in some great feuds over the past few weeks. Last week we saw her fight with Natalya, and if the WWE really wants to make Ruby a main event contender, she must be made to get into a feud with Ronda or Natalya at least.

The best way to make this happen is by starting a feud this week with Natalya. Natalya was in a match with Ruby Riott last week, and this week we could see them start a verbal confrontation before getting into a fight.

The verbal discussion could begin about the Women's Championship, which would then become physical, and Baron could end it by setting up a number one contender's match between these two wrestlers.

With no female wrestlers involved in a match or feud at WWE Crown Jewel, the company would have a long time to build this storyline. Neither of the wrestlers are over with the fans, and therefore this time off after Evolution would help the company build the feud well.

Special Mention: Alexa Bliss and Mickie James versus Trish Stratus and Lita

On the 15 October 2018 episode of Raw, we saw Trish Stratus and Lita take down Alexa Bliss and Mickie James during their promo, and while Alexa had the upper hand in the promo because there is no one who can match her mic skills in the women's division, it is seemingly impossible that these four wrestlers will leave anything in the ring to build their match during the women's only pay-per-view, WWE Evolution.

We have seen Trish attack Mickie, and also Alexa call Trish 'Miss Irrelevant' in the past, but it must be understood that with less than a week to go for the show, there is nothing these four wrestlers wouldn't do to hype their match, and we as fans can't wait to see what they do in the ring during the next episode of Monday Night on Raw.

#1 Ronda Rousey goes savage against Nikki Bella

Ronda Rousey went all the way during last week's Raw, and her promo was one of the best in the women's division in a long time. The promo that had Paul Heyman in the approval seat was executed well by Ronda, and it really became the talking point of the entire show.

No member of the WWE Universe was on their seat when Ronda ripped off 'No Good Bellas', and if the company is really serious about taking this storyline forward, we would see Nikki Bella cut a promo on Ronda which would be cut by 'The Baddest Woman on the Planet', and after she is done with the verbal talk, the current Raw Women's Champion would take out The Bella Twins all by herself.

This would be a great way to end the show, and would really be the talking point of the show until WWE Evolution comes your way this Sunday, October 28, from Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, East Garden City, New York, United States.
