Take a look at the five biggest questions from RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week.
#5. Why did Adam Pearce add Austin Theory to Team RAW for WWE Survivor Series?
Bobby Lashley returned to WWE RAW last week and took Dominik Mysterio’s spot for Survivor Series. This week on RAW, Lashley got a match against former WWE World Heavyweight Champion Rey Mysterio.
Rey put up some resistance against The All-Mighty but fell flat after delivering his finisher. Lashley locked in The Hurt Lock and punished him even after he tapped out.
Surprisingly, Adam Pearce appeared and removed Rey from Team RAW for Survivor Series. He added Austin Theory to the team instead.
Why did Pearce take out Rey and add Theory? What has Theory done on RAW to deserve a spot? Is he a former world champion like Pearce wanted Dominik to be?
It was one of the most puzzling decisions of the week as Pearce went against his own words. He could have added another former world champion, or Omos, to the team instead.
#4. Why did The Dirty Dawgz lose on WWE RAW this week?
Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler have been working well for a long time in WWE. The former RAW and SmackDown Tag Team Champions were being used to put other superstars over for several months.
The Dirty Dawgz defeated The Street Profits on a couple of shows, and it looked like they were being given a push. However, WWE handed them a loss against AJ Styles and Omos this week on RAW. Why did Ziggler and Roode lose after picking up some momentum? Is WWE stopping the push again?
The heels looked like the perfect new challengers for RK-Bro. It would be a shame if Styles and Omos entered the RAW Tag Team Championship picture again instead of new challengers.
#3. Why has Kyle O’Reilly been pushed back into the tag team division on WWE NXT 2.0?
Kyle O’Reilly broke free from the Undisputed ERA and went on a solo run in WWE NXT 2.0. His fans saw him as a breakout performer, and he delivered some great matches.
KOR remained in the NXT Championship picture for some time but couldn't win a singles title. Instead of moving him into the NXT North American Championship scene, WWE pushed him into a tag team with Von Wagner.
Why is O’Reilly being made to team up with the new superstar? Will it affect the impact KOR’s solo run had on his career?
WWE should look to move O’Reilly in the mid-card title scene. A move back to the tag team division could hurt his value.
#2. Is it a smart idea to have the new and old of WWE NXT compete at TakeOver: WarGames
Tommaso Ciampa returned to WWE NXT this week and took a shot at the brand's newer superstars. Bron Breakker came out to confront the oldtimer.
It looks like WWE is building a different WarGames match this year. Without Undisputed Era, the brand could have some problems building a solid match.
Is it a good idea to have the new superstars of NXT go head to head with the old ones? Will a victory for either team hurt the other’s value on the show?
WWE cannot afford to hand the new superstars of NXT 2.0 a loss at the event. However, a team of Johnny Gargano, Ciampa, Pete Dunne, and Dexter Lumis would be too strong to take a loss.
#1. When will Shinsuke Nakamura get in a rivalry for his title on WWE SmackDown?
When was the last time Shinsuke Nakamura defended his Intercontinental Championship on SmackDown? It's been ages since the WWE Universe got a mid-card championship match on the brand.
Nakamura has held the title for nearly 100 days. However, he has only defended his title once, and it looks like the creative team doesn’t have any plans for the Intercontinental Champion.
When will The Artist defend his title in WWE? Is the creative team going to turn Rick Boogs soon and make him go after his partner?
Superstars like Ricochet and Cesaro have given it their all in the ring but failed to win a title for a long time. Smackdown could soon look to move the title to a more deserving superstar.
