Could this be the end of Vince McMahon's "Wildcard Rule"?

Paul Heyman will make his first appearance on RAW since being named executive producer of WWE's flagship show. With Heyman and Eric Bischoff now executive producers on WWE RAW and SmackDown respectively, one of the first things we could see happen is the wildcard rule getting scrapped which will bring about a sigh of relief from a large section of fans.

WWE television has been way too repetitive since the introduction of the wildcard rule and bringing in the executive producers could be Vince McMahon's first step in reversing the wildcard rule.

The Firefly Fun House segments have been some of the best things on WWE television for the last couple of months. We could finally see this new reincarnation of Bray Wyatt make his debut on WWE television and it could be as soon as tonight.

WWE have built Wyatt back up very well with the Firefly Fun House segments so far and need to be really careful in the way he is presented inside the ring, or they risk taking down months of hard work.

As you may remember, Sami Zayn mentioned All Elite Wrestling during his promo on the RAW after Double or Nothing in May. With Fyter Fest having taken place recently, WWE could surprise us once again by having one of the Superstars discreetly mentioning All Elite Wrestling at some point during WWE RAW.

#1 The Undertaker's appearance teased

Last week's episode of WWE RAW saw one huge surprise - The Undertaker returning to RAW. As Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre were in the process of methodically destroying the Big Dog, the lights went out and we heard the familiar sound of The Undertaker's gong.

The Deadman was in the ring when the lights came back on and he proceeded to take out Shane and Drew McIntyre. This set up a massive match at Extreme Rules with The Undertaker teaming up with Roman Reigns to face the team of Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre.

This week on RAW, we could see Shane and Drew McIntyre in the ring to call out The Undertaker. This could lead to the lights going out once again with the only difference being, it would only be a sort of a fake-out; mind games if you will.
