Welcome to another edition of the top RAW backstage rumors that could have a major impact. After a spectacular RAW where we saw the crowning of Drew McIntyre as the WWE Champion, the Red brand is all set to go up against SmackDown at Survivor Series.
On today's edition of the top RAW rumors, we will talk about former WWE Champion Randy Orton being punished by the company, a top Superstar set to get married, the in-ring future of The Undertaker, and much more.
So without any further ado, let us jump right in and check out the five biggest stories related to RAW Superstars:
#5 Randy Orton punished for his actions on RAW
In a surprising turn of events, Randy Orton lost the WWE Championship to Drew McIntyre on RAW this week. Last week on RAW Adam Pearce had informed Orton that he would have to defend the WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre ahead of Survivor Series.
This did not sit well with The Viper who attacked Adam Pearce backstage. WWE revealed that Randy Orton has duly been punished for his actions and has been fined a big amount for raising his hands on an official.
"WWE Champion Randy Orton has been fined an undisclosed amount for putting his hands on Adam Pearce last week on RAW."
It has come in as a surprise that WWE decided to have a match between Randy Orton and Drew McIntyre ahead of Survivor Series. Randy Orton became a 14-time World Champion at Hell in a Cell by defeating Drew McIntyre but his reign was short-lived.
Reports were stating that the reason for Orton becoming WWE Champion was to have his third match with Edge for the World Championship. However, some new reports have even suggested that the company has scrapped the plans for Randy Orton vs. Edge at WrestleMania.
#4 RAW Superstar Randy Orton not to face Edge at WrestleMania 37?
As mentioned previously, the original plans for RAW Superstar Randy Orton at WrestleMania 37 were to defend his WWE Championship against Edge. However, with Orton losing the title yet again, it is clear that WWE has changed their plans.
WrestleVotes has also stated that WWE now plans to have Hall of Famer Edge face 'The Fiend' Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 37.
"WrestleMania update: Source states that while Edge vs Randy Orton has been the long standing plan, and still is at the moment, the idea of Edge vs The Fiend has been discussed a great deal for the show."
It could be speculated that with McIntyre winning the WWE Championship, the company may be planning to extend the program between The Scottish Psychopath and The Viper till WrestleMania next year.
Plus having Edge face someone like RAW's Bray Wyatt would also be fresh and help Wyatt build credibility if he can pick up a win against a multi-time WWE Champion and Hall of Famer.
#3 RAW Superstar Alexa Bliss to get married to boyfriend Ryan Cabrera
Alexa Bliss is not only doing great things on-screen on the Red brand, but the former RAW Women's Champion is also having the best time of her life in her personal life. As reported a few days ago, Alexa Bliss is now engaged to her boyfriend Ryan Cabrera after dating him for a year.
Cabrera had posted a story on his Instagram where he proposed to Alexa Bliss and she said yes. The couple is now engaged and will be getting married.
Alexa Bliss had broken up with her former fiancee and WWE Superstar Murphy in 2018 even though the two have remained good friends even after the split. Here is what Bliss had stated about meeting Ryan Cabrera on The Bellas podcast:
“It’s funny how we met. We met because of a rumor that we were dating. When TMZ put that out, we were friends then. You know how WWE fans are? They are very passionate and into our personal lives. He was liking some of my tweets, and a fan saw that and started a whole Instagram that we were dating and tagged everyone in the company.”
It will be interesting to see what the future holds for WWE RAW's Goddess.
#2 Drew McIntyre reacts to becoming the WWE Champion on RAW
Drew McIntyre had proved his mettle after winning the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 36. Despite there being no live crowd to cheer The Scottish Psychopath during his reign, the WWE Champion was not deterred and continued to excel in his role as the leader of RAW.
It had come as a shock to many when WWE decided to take the title off McIntyre even though he had won hearts backstage. Now, Drew McIntyre has finally regained what was his becoming two-time WWE Champion on RAW.
Drew McIntyre had an emotional message for his fans after the show:
It’s easy to talk about what’s next. But for tonight I’m thinking about what it is. Proud of my match tonight on #WWERaw. I’m never going to take this responsibility or this feeling for granted.
WWE Champion Drew McIntyre's success story is truly an inspiration and The Scottish Psychopath has quashed all rumors suggesting that the company was planning to put an end to his push on Monday Night RAW.
#1 Former RAW Superstars The Undertaker and Kane to team up again?
Former RAW Superstars The Undertaker and Kane were recently a part of an interview with WWE Network where the two spoke about their legendary careers and what the future may hold for them.
The Undertaker and Kane will be returning at WWE Survivor Series for The Phenom's 'final farewell'. However, The Undertaker hinted during the interview that the story between Kane and himself might not be over. It is still possible that the two return for one more match as a tag team in the future.
"The feelings are mutual. Our friendship outside of the ring, it's really special to know that we were so instrumental in each other's paths, our career paths, which is really cool. Who's to say that it's even over."
Former RAW Superstar The Undertaker also spoke about how crucial both of them have been for each other's careers.
''And just to be able to be relevant, now that means a lot to me. Obviously you're a vital part of that, and our history together, against each other, with each other."
He talked about the longevity of their partnership and how it is amazing that they are still relevant thanks to each other.
