#5. What lies ahead for AJ Styles on RAW?

AJ Styles doesn't appear to be in the WWE title picture on RAW post-TLC. Instead, he had a confrontation with Elias and Jaxson Ryker backstage. He faced and defeated Elias in a solid match.

The way he was being presented, we couldn't help but feel that he might be transitioning into a babyface role on RAW. It was only hinted. While it was a heel vs. heel match (which has become surprisingly common these days), AJ Styles was positioned as the face, and he could be quietly turning babyface after his heel run on RAW.


#4. Is Ricochet joining RETRIBUTION or not?

Mustafa Ali defeated Ricochet in what was possibly the match of the night on RAW. As usual, the story was about getting Ricochet into RETRIBUTION, and after losing, Ali once again told him to join them.

Ricochet teased joining at first but ended up backing out at the end. He stunned Ali to stand tall, but it's another week and another loss for Ricochet.
