It seems as though the Superstar Shake-Up is now fully out of effect and the two rosters for the year have been clearly established. Having lost one of their biggest soldiers in Roman Reigns, RAW gained a major assett in The Phenomenal AJ Styles.
Last week, we found out more new members of the roster, a major character change, a new Universal title contender and the wheels continued to spin as we head towards Money in the Bank.
WrestleMania season may be over, but there's a whole lot of things to be excited about and Money In The Bank happens to be the nearest major stop. We're set to continue the build to the great PPV tonight, with the picture for the PPV being made clearer. Here's what you can expect from what should be a great episode of RAW.
#5 Alexa Bliss reveals the MITB participants in "A moment of Bliss"
MITB, as with the last two years, will feature two ladder matches - with the men and women. While it hasn't been outright confirmed, it's assumed that both matches will contain 8 people each, especially since both matches feature superstars from RAW and SmackDown.
It's a good thing that it's that way, because two years ago when it was a SmackDown-exclusive PPV, WWE seemingly realised the mistake that they made. Either way, it's going to be interesting to see who Alexa Bliss announces as the participants in A Moment of Bliss.
If anything, it would be surprising if there were no qualification matches, because every year normally sees superstars having to qualify.
Sasha Banks is rumoured to be making her return and is expected to be added to MITB. There have been reports of "leaked" posters for MITB, but what the real lineup is, we'll find out tomorrow.
#4 Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House is open
For the first time since the summer of 2018, Bray Wyatt made his long awaited return to WWE. Except, it wasn't the same Bray Wyatt that we have been used to seeing the past few years.
He was no cult leader. He was no dark personality of sorts preaching control over the masses. Yet, something was dark about him and something was extremely creepy. He introduced us to the Firefly Fun House, something that looked like an ordinary kid's show at first, similar to the likes of Blues Clues.
He introduced us to three different characters and from there, it all went down south. This week, we may not see Bray Wyatt appear in the ring, but apparently, the Firefly Fun House is now "open".
That only means one thing - a disturbing segment. It's certainly going to be interesting to see what happens this week.
#3 Will Becky Lynch bow down to the Woman's right?
Becky Lynch is set to have an extremely tough MITB PPV when she defends not one, but both of her championships. The first of the two matches will see her take on up-and-comer Lacey Evans in the defence of her RAW Women's Championship, while the second match will see her go head-to-head with longtime rival Charlotte Flair, which is for the SmackDown Women's Championship.
Last week, Becky Lynch had a standoff with Lacey Evans prior to handily defeating Alicia Fox. She had absolutely no time to celebrate, however, as Evans instantly smacked her with not one, but two Woman's rights.
With tension building, does Lacey Evans have the champ-champs number? Anyone who has seen NXT knows that she's a force to be reckoned with, but The Man may have to learn the hard way around. Will she get destroyed and humiliated again?
#2 Robert Roode rises
Bobby Roode made the transition into Robert Roode right after Chad Gable was drafted to SmackDown, subsequently splitting the team up. One can't help but think that he has a very close resemblance to Rick Rude, but perhaps that was by design.
The new attitude and persona certainly helped him last Monday Night, when he defeated Ricochet, pinning The One and Only superstar for the first time since his main roster debut. Now, with a renewed focus and objective, Robert Roode is set to begin his momentum, hopefully on the road to another major championship.
The question is as to whether shaving off his beard and acting a little cocky would be enough. We haven't seen "Robert Roode" since the earlier days of his in TNA, which is what's going to make it very fun to watch. Don't sleep on Roode, because he may bring back what's great about him!
#1 A Phenomenal Universal title challenger
AJ Styles has always been a world champion calibre superstar and when he came to WWE, he proved that even more so, winning the WWE Championship on two occasions. SmackDown Live may have been the house that AJ Styles built, but he's a RAW superstar now, and with that, his objective has changed to the Universal Championship.
The Phenomenal One wasted no time in getting right into the fray, first winning a triple threat match against Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio before beating Baron Corbin in the main event. There was a handshake between champion and challenger, but there was visible tension. If anything, AJ Styles teased a heel turn and that might come to fruition this week after 2 years when he potentially attacks Seth Rollins.
Either way, the two are going to meet in the ring for the first time ever and it's going to be nothing short of a blockbuster main event. Will The Beast Slayer prevail?
