#5: Sullivan injury worse than expected

Sullivan could be gone for a while after his minor injury was reported as being more serious than first thought. .

Lars Sullivan has had a dominant role since joining the WWE main roster earlier this year, and despite backlash for controversial posts from his past, has been pushed as a top star.

Dominating the Lucha House Party during his main roster debut match in Jeddah, Sullivan seemed in line for a push, until a recent injury halted all of that.

Though the Wrestling Observer has called Sullivan's debacle a minor injury, a new report from FWOnline has said the Freak's injuries are much worse than suspected.

This is definitely not the kind of news Sullivan, or WWE needs, as the company has spent plenty of time and resources keeping Sullivan's momentum going after transitioning from NXT to the main roster.

Hopefully, Sullivan will be able to return sooner rather than later, as the company continues to build the Freak.

#4: Counting the days

Will any other WWE Superstars join AEW in the near future?

People count down days for a lot of special occasions, such as birthdays, holidays and vacations. But one thing people don't usually count the days for, is for when their contracts expire.

However, that seems to be the case as "a lot of people are counting the days" until they can leave the WWE, according to the Wrestling Observer. Morale in WWE seems to be at an all-time low at the moment, especially with so many stars being under-used.

The rise of All Elite Wrestling hasn't helped WWE either, as the new promotion seems to go from strength to strength, recently selling out their latest pay per view, All OUT in just 15 minutes.

With so many stars from WWE already joining AEW (Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley etc), one has to wonder who will be next.

#3: A bad start for Chad Gable

Gable's debut match on 205 Live didn't go to plan.

Chad Gable has had an interesting career in WWE to say the least.

Despite being one of two men to hold the RAW, SmackDown and NXT Tag Titles, (the other being his former partner Jason Jordan) Gable has wallowed on the main roster for a while, accomplishing little.

A recent move to 205 Live could be a fresh start for the Olympian, though it seems things didn't go quite according to plan during his debut match for the Purple brand.

According to the Wrestling Observer, Gable and opponent Jack Gallagher messed up the finish of their match, which ended in a count out. We're not quite sure how the match was supposed to end, but botching the finish of your very first match on a new brand isn't the best of stars for Gable.

#2: Always bet on Black

Black could be in line for a push very soon.

As a former WWE NXT Champion, it's clear that Aleister Black has some supporters behind the scenes.

Black, who joined the company in 2016 has been a great commodity to the company with his unique look and offence, and has impressed many, both those in the WWE Universe and backstage.

According to Wrestling Observer Radio, there are several people behind the Dutchman, and Dave Meltzer said how it seems likely that he will be in line for a push. In recent weeks, Black has been looking for a worthy opponent to face, so it seems whoever steps up to the former NXT Champion could do so to make the 34-year-old look good.

With all this positivity, it seems to be only a matter of time before Black once again holds championship gold, this time on the main roster.

#1: Plans for the Eater of Worlds

Will the former WWE Champion return to Monday Night RAW this week?

Though he may have competed in a match for several months, Bray Wyatt continues to be one of WWE's most discussed Superstars.

Returning on the RAW after WrestleMania 35 with his Firefly Fun House, Wyatt seems more Mr Rogers than Charles Manson, though it seems the former WWE Champion hasn't left the darkness just yet.

Despite various episodes of the Fun House, Wyatt has yet to make his in-ring return, though the rumor is that his big comeback could be coming sooner rather than later. According to PW Insider, Wyatt is scheduled to be at Monday Night RAW this week, though it's unclear whether he'll be used on-screen or not.

Whatever happens, it seems like this week's RAW will definitely be one worth tuning into for fans of the Eater of Worlds.
