WWE Monday Night RAW: 5 Feuds that should take place sometime in the near future

With the recently conducted WWE Draft, a lot of new faces moved to RAW as the company looks to adapt to a more disciplined approach. The Red brand has a plethora of talent on board and the WWE Creative won't be having any hard time in building pulsating storylines as the roster is blessed with supreme in-ring performers.

Talking about storylines and potential feuds in this new era, there are quite a few rivalries that should take place on RAW. A host of new faces are set to reside on the show for the foreseeable future and by looking at the caliber of stars on the roster, the future looks utterly promising.

Ardent followers of the company have always been vivid supporters of fresh rivalries and intriguing storylines and the following listicle promotes the same idea. Here we list down 5 feuds that should take place on Monday night RAW:

#5 Cedric Alexander vs Aleister Black

Two men who could be the stars of tomorrow, Aleister Black and Cedric Alexander are in the initial days of their respective main roster careers in WWE. While Alexander dominated the Cruiserweight division, Black, on the other hand, impressed at NXT. His call-up to the main roster saw him compete against Elias, a match he won stunningly.

Both men are extremely talented and just need a bit of direction in order to reach their full potential. Black, who is a former NXT Champion thrashed a local competitor last week and the signs are that the company is waiting for the right time to introduce a worthy competitor for him, which is why he's been squashing opponents in recent times.

Talking about worthy opponents, there is one man who will surely relish facing Black in the ring and that man is Cedric Alexander. The former Cruiserweight Champion has gone quiet ever since his feud with AJ Styles vanished and must be craving for a new challenge. What better challenge than going toe-to-toe against the former NXT Champion, Aleister Black?

A feud will help both the Superstars cement their position on the main roster and deliver a solid mid-card feud for the company.

#4 The Viking Raiders vs Authors of Pain

SmackDown may have got a number of accomplished tag teams but as far as exciting duos are considered, RAW takes the cake. The Red brand possesses some exciting tag teams of which two such combos are Viking Raiders and AOP.

AOP is making a comeback to in-ring action and will be looking to take the RAW tag team division by a storm but in order to be the numero uno tag team, they'll need to cross a few hurdles, of which one goes by the name of Viking Raiders. AOP and Viking Raiders have notable similarities as both have won NXT Tag Team Titles in the past, both can be regarded as heavyweight tag teams and last but not the least, both have a frightening aura.

Pitting the aforementioned teams against each other will certainly ignite the division on RAW and give the fans a lot to cheer about.

#3 Kevins Owens vs Samoa Joe

Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe are two of the most gifted performers on the main roster. What makes these two men so special is their all-round skill set which is an asset or shall we say a gift for the WWE Universe.

Owens is a fearless performer who has time and again proved himself as an authority-defying anti-hero who doesn't believe in following any orders. Joe, on the other hand, is a destroyer who craves to be the alpha dog. A feud between them will surely yield a number of stunning promos, thanks to their impressive mic skills.

A dominant heel in the form of Joe up against a thinking fighter in the name of Owens will surely make the storyline an enticing one. The two clashed back in their NXT days and the match was well appreciated by the WWE Universe. The same can be expected this time around as well.

#2 Randy Orton vs Drew McIntyre

This bout has main-event written all over it! Drew McIntyre up against The Viper, Randy Orton inside the squared circle is something which hasn’t happened till now but surely deserves to happen. Randy Orton is one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time and it won’t be wrong to say that the Viper has it in him to put up a decent match with almost anyone from the roster let alone someone as gifted as McIntyre.

Prior to WrestleMania 35, The Scottish Psychopath was on a roll but his loss to Roman Reigns at the Showcase of Immortals somehow disrupted his push. It has been said before and needs to be said again that McIntyre is not just a one-trick pony and deserves some spotlight.

Putting him against someone as legendary as Randy Orton will certainly be the push that the Scottish Psychopath deserves. As for Orton, it's been long since he played the face card and a potential feud against a natural heel like McIntyre will give the Legend Killer a chance to flex his muscles as the hero of the storyline.

#1 Seth Rollins vs Ricochet

Of all the Superstars to have recently come through the ranks of NXT, Ricochet has been the most impressive one. The high-flying Superstar is one of the most talented performers around and has caught the attention of many, courtesy of his vibrant style and vast skill set.

Ricochet has won the WWE Universe over with his moves and notable feud against AJ Styles. Many claim him to be the future of the company, something which might be true thanks to his massive potential.

Seth Rollins, on the other hand, just lost his Universal Championship to The Fiend on Crown Jewel but is arguably still the biggest name on RAW at the moment. His in-ring prowess is second to none and not many men can contain The Beastslayer's speed and agility but Ricochet is something special. His clash against AJ Styles truly highlighted his caliber and makes us wonder as to how fascinating a matchup between him and The Architect might be.

Bray Wyatt has been drafted to SmackDown which tells us that Seth Rollins will need a new adversary. The company could very well go for young budding talent in the name of Ricochet to face Rollins for the prestigious Universal Championship
