RAW after WrestleMania 36 Preview: 4-time World Champion absent, Debuting superstar's new role revealed?

Welcome to the RAW after WrestleMania preview! Usually, it's the most exciting episode of the year, but the circumstances around the world have changed things and WWE has been forced to adapt.

Nobody knew how WrestleMania in the Performance Center would go, but somehow, WWE managed to pull it off and made the best of the limited resources that they have.

Here's what's interesting. There's a slight possibility that it's going to be the last episode of RAW for a while to come unless WWE has worked out an alternate venue to tape episodes.

Either way, we witnessed the most unique WrestleMania of all time and we're set to witness the most unique RAW after WrestleMania of all time. We won't see the annual crowd that's the loudest of the year and for all we know, there may not be as many jaw-dropping moments.

But given that it's WWE, you can never say never, which is why we'll look forward immediately, with WrestleMania now behind us:

#5. The fallout of Kevin Owens & Seth Rollins' match

Kevin Owens beat Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 36

Kevin Owens and Seth Rollins began their rivalry on the night after Survivor Series 2019, with Seth Rollins berating the RAW roster for their humiliating defeat at the hands of NXT and SmackDown. It was Kevin Owens who stood up to Rollins and since then, the two were in a rivalry with each other.

This rivalry also involved the likes of Samoa Joe, The AOP, Murphy, The Viking Raiders, and The Street Profits. Despite having no title involved, it's always felt like a central RAW feud and the two finally met at WrestleMania 36, where Owens defeated Rollins in a great encounter.

The big question is what's next for Kevin Owens? Will he be a World title challenger soon? It has been rumored that Rollins will be on a hiatus for a while to come, so don't expect him back immediately.

#4. What's the EST of NXT doing on RAW?

The Street Profits defeated Angel Garza and Austin Theory and defended their RAW Tag Team Championship successfully. However, after the match, Garza and Theory attacked the Champions, with Vega assisting and urging them on.

Montez Ford's wife and NXT superstar Bianca Belair made her debut, attacking Vega and saving The Street Profits. Given that she's been in NXT for a while, her time has likely come to make the change.

It's inevitable and the right move. Those who followed Bianca Belair in NXT know that she's one of the best homegrown talents WWE has developed in the Performance Center. And, despite not winning the NXT Women's Championship, she's expected to achieve great things on RAW or SmackDown.

From the look of things, RAW will be her destination and she may not start immediately as a singles star. She's most likely going to be the manager of The Street Profits while also facing Vega. Her actual singles star, however, might come later when the time is right.

#3. Aleister Black and Bobby Lashley - the hunt for gold begins?

Aleister Black and Bobby Lashley faced off at WrestleMania in a match thrown together at the last minute. There was no build, no confrontation and little to no hype going in. They had a decent match - one you would expect on RAW.

Aleister Black continues to show the potential he showed in NXT - going on a tear and beating every opponent put in front of him. The same applied to Lashley, who he defeated handily in an even but well-fought contest.

Black didn't take too much time, but we anticipate that WrestleMania wasn't the last we've seen of these two. They're still two top competitors, with Black being the rising star. The hunt for gold could begin with Black and Lashley, who we expect to see competing for a possible WWE Championship shot in the future.

Will Aleister Black be able to put away Bobby Lashley again? Or will The Dominator prove that WrestleMania 36 was just a lucky night for the Dutchman?

#2. The Man completes a year

Becky Lynch after beating Shayna Baszler

Shayna Baszler was regarded as Becky Lynch's biggest threat in her year-long Championship reign, but as it turned out, Sasha Banks was the most difficult challenge along with Asuka.

Shayna Baszler was and is dominant, but WrestleMania 36 wasn't her night as she ended up losing to Becky Lynch the same way she did to Ember Moon a couple of years ago in her first shot at the NXT Women's Championship (which she would go on to hold twice).

Becky Lynch will officially complete a year as RAW Women's Champion after her win over Baszler and with that, it seems as though she's cleared out the entire women's division on RAW.

While we fully expect to see Shayna Baszler back in the title picture soon, we can't rule out one returning name - Nia Jax. The former RAW Women's Champion has reportedly been cleared to return to the ring and could target the current Champion right away.

She would certainly be a different challenge - and to add to it, they have a history together.

#1. The reign of McIntyre begins

Drew McIntyre faced Brock Lesnar in the main event of WrestleMania night two and beat him in just four and a half minutes. Only Goldberg was able to take him down as quickly and with that, McIntyre ended Lesnar's reign as Universal Champion.

With Brock Lesnar over the last three years, there have only been a few months in between where he hasn't been a World Champion. After losing the Universal Championship to Seth Rollins at SummerSlam, he changed his pursuit to the WWE title on SmackDown, wrestling on free TV for the first time in 15 years and winning the WWE Championship within 10 seconds.

However, it's Drew McIntyre's era now and at WrestleMania 36, Vince McMahon's prophecy from 2009 finally came true. The Chosen One Drew McIntyre had his breakout moment and defeated Brock Lesnar to become the first Scottish World Champion in WWE history.

We wonder who's lined up for him next, but we imagine that Brock Lesnar won't be too far away for too long.
