WWE planning something 'unexpected' for RAW?

In addition to the segments and matches mentioned above, the fans should also expect more fallout from the recently concluded Backlash PPV.

WWE reportedly has something unexpected lined up for the RAW, and it has been speculated that Christian could be returning.

WrestleVotes noted:

I really don't want to spoil the news for everyone, so I'm not. However, I got a phone call earlier with info that RAW will feature something unexpected. Which I think everyone will like.... Sometimes scares never heal.

Could Christian be gearing up to make an in-ring comeback for the first time since 2014? We really don't know what to expect, but there are hints that point towards a possible return.

With Edge out with an injury and Christian's history with Orton, the line 'Sometimes scares never heal' becomes all the more intriguing. Christian has stated in various interviews that the chances of him returning to the ring are meager, but the same was said regarding Edge as well.

Whatever happens, the fans are in for a decent RAW after Backlash.
