6 Things WWE subtly told us on RAW: Possible character change for returning star, Popular Superstar finally getting title push? (May 4th, 2020)

Welcome to this week's edition of things WWE subtly told us on RAW! It was the go-home episode to Money in the Bank and it proved to be a good one, even if it didn't progress as well as one would have hoped.

The main event saw Drew McIntyre take on Murphy. All the seeds were planted and the field will be set for Money in the Bank 2020. As you probably know, both ladder matches will be taking place at the same time in the WWE HQ.

That alone gives a great reason to tune in, especially if it was shot in a cinematic-stye that fans have been raving about since WrestleMania this year.

Either way, we're excited to see how things shape up at WWE Money in the Bak 2020 and who is going to walk out victorious. Here are a few things WWE subtly told us:

#6. Are we seeing a different AJ Styles on RAW?

AJ Styles denied losing to The Undertaker

AJ Styles returned to the ring for the first time since WrestleMania 36, where he got buried by The Undertaker in their Boneyard match. It was an instant classic. While we know that The Undertaker doesn't return post-WrestleMania, AJ Styles' return seemed inevitable.

Bobby Lashley took control of the first half of the gauntlet match before being DQ'd for getting too aggressive against Humberto Carrillo. The second half saw Carrillo get through the likes of Angel Garza and Austin Theory before falling short to the returning AJ Styles.

Everything about Styles indicated that there has been some tweak of sorts to his character. While he's still a heel, it appears as though The Boneyard match has changed his character, bringing out a more aggressive Styles.

We could be seeing something different and new from The Phenomenal One.

#5. Liv Morgan is on the rise

Liv Morgan finally seems to be finding her footing on Monday Night RAW. She's been a work in progress for a while now, but the last 4-5 months since her return have been productive in a big way for her.

While she hasn't been heavily pushed, it's clear that she's a Superstar on the rise, with many pegging her as a future Women's Champion. We certainly agree with that sentiment, more so after RAW.

NXT Women's Champion Charlotte Flair appeared on RAW to promote her upcoming title match against Io Shirai. It was done to promote NXT, but she was confronted by rising RAW star Liv Morgan.

Showing no fear, Morgan challenged Flair to a match and took her far before losing by submission. Flair was always going to win, but it was a great showing for Morgan, who looked good in defeat.

These appear to be the early steps for a big title push that seems to be coming her way. Whether it's in the next few months or even a year from now, Liv Morgan as Women's Champion seems inevitable.

#4. A new team has entered the ranks

We love how MVP's importance on RAW has been growing by the week. When he was brought back, the idea was for him to have a one-off nostalgic appearance at the Royal Rumble 2020.

It turned into a match a night later on RAW against Rey Mysterio and soon enough, he turned into a Backstage agent as well. He's been making a lot of appearances on-screen to help put over younger talent.

One team that he has seemingly begun to manage is the Australian duo of Shane Thorne and Brendan Vink. He issued a challenge to Ricochet and Cedric Alexander for a match this week and they obliged.

The two managed to beat Ricochet and Cedric Alexander in a big upset, establishing themselves as a team on RAW. Given that there were only three active teams, some fresh blood to the division might be needed right now.

It's going to be interesting to see if WWE keeps them on RAW, but given the situation right now, that seems to be the case.

#3. The Viking Raiders have the Street Profits' number

Bianca Belair was the one who told The Street Profits to go after The Viking Raiders, particularly since the Champions had never defeated them before. So they finally faced off again on RAW, where The Viking Raiders picked up the win over the Champions.

It was done to set up a title match, but we like the fact that we're getting a solid face vs face feud that's straightforward. The story is simple - The Viking Raiders claim to be the top team on RAW, seemingly having The Street Profits' number. The Profits wanted to prove them wrong, but by losing to them, they essentially confirmed that The Viking Raiders are, in fact, the best team on RAW.

At this point, the Raiders could make an argument that they are the uncrowned Champions, but it's going to come to a head sooner than later. We wouldn't be surprised to see them added to the Money in the Bank card. Is it time for a title change or will The Street Profits prevail?

#2. Who's going to win the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match?

The Women's Money in the Bank Ladder Match is going to be an exciting one. On the RAW side, the competitors are Shayna Baszler, Asuka, and Nia Jax, while SmackDown will have Dana Brooke, Lacey Evans, and the inaugural Women's MITB winner Carmella.

It's clear that a RAW Superstar will be the favorite to win. While Dana Brooke would be an unexpected and worthy pick, the battlefield on the Red brand is simply far too strong for that. There are three former Champions, all of whom have been in big spots.

MVP hosted a segment featuring the three women, who never got to have their match last week. Asuka and Shayna Baszler took out Nia Jax and looked like they wanted to rip each other apart until MVP separated them and acted as the peacemaker.

We fully expect a RAW superstar to win the MITB briefcase this year, with Shayna Baszler looking like the favorite. If she wins, she'll be confronted by Becky Lynch next week.

#1. Will Seth Rollins be enough of a threat to dethrone Drew McIntyre?

As advertised, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre faced Murphy in the main event of RAW. It was a good match, one that likely would have gotten a good reaction with a crowd. Murphy vowed to humiliate Drew McIntyre doing Rollins' bidding, but it ended with him eating a big Claymore kick to the face and a pin.

While Rollins ran away, he returned and attacked McIntyre, who retaliated with a Glasgow Kiss. The match and show ended with McIntyre standing tall as Seth Rollins went away. It's going to be interesting to see how it all plays out, particularly since McIntyre has stood tall these past few weeks.

Usually, when that happens, it means a title change is coming. However, McIntyre seems to be in great shape, which means that there's no reason whatsoever for WWE to put the title on Seth Rollins again.

Ultimately, Seth Rollins will be the heel used to get McIntyre over. We wouldn't be surprised to see WWE run back the match again in the next PPV.
