Welcome to another edition of the top RAW rumors that could have a major impact. In an enthralling edition of RAW this week, not only did we get to see the crowning of the new WWE Champion but Drew McIntyre and Sheamus also gave the fans a stellar match.
Both of these topics will be covered in today's edition, along with possible plans for an off-screen couple to finally be paired on-screen as well. Apart from that, we will also take a look at some major plans for the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania 37.
So without further ado, let's dive in and take a look at the big stories related to Monday Night RAW.
#5 Charlotte Flair pitched the idea of pairing with Andrade on RAW
Charlotte Flair has become a pivotal part of RAW ever since she made her return last year. As per Dave Meltzer of WON, The Queen has constantly been under the spotlight and will quite possibly be the Superstar to challenge Asuka for the RAW Women's Championship at WrestleMania.
Speaking to TVInsider, Charlotte Flair revealed that she had pitched the idea of her fiance, Andrade, pairing up with her on-screen on RAW.
"I’ve actually pitched that. I would be very much open to that. I’ve done a lot in my career, but nobody has seen me in an on-cam relationship, or in that light. I can come across cold on TV."
Andrade has not been used in WWE ever since he went undrafted in the 2020 Draft. It has been reported that Vince McMahon is not fond of El Idolo and doesn't see much in him.
Andrade being paired with Charlotte would help both of them as Flair will get to show a new aspect of her persona on television and Andrade will also get elevated by becoming a regular feature on Monday Night RAW.
#4 RAW Superstar Lashley comments after becoming WWE Champion
This week on RAW, Bobby Lashley defeated The Miz to become the new WWE Champion. Lashley was one of the most protected Superstars last year and it was only a matter of time before The All-Mighty became the top Champion on RAW.
After winning his first WWE Championship, Lashley broke his silence on Twitter by boldly claiming that 'The Allmighty Era is here'. Although it is believed that Drew McIntyre will regain the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, it is still a commendable feat to have won the WWE Championship.
Drew McIntyre defeated Sheamus on RAW this week in a match that is being praised as one of the best-televised matches in RAW history. A clash between Lashley and McIntyre seems imminent at WrestleMania this year.
#3 RAW Superstar Alexa Bliss responds to Murphy's tweet
RAW's Alexa Bliss is currently engaged to singer Ryan Cabrera, but the former RAW Women's Champion was also engaged to Murphy before. Unfortunately, their engagement was called off in 2018 but the two continue to remain good friends.
Murphy had recently tweeted a photo of himself, Blake, and Alexa Bliss when they performed as a team in NXT. Bliss reacted by saying that those were good times. Bliss is currently involved in a feud with Randy Orton on RAW whereas Murphy is on the SmackDown roster but hasn't been used this year.
#2 Vince Russo blasts Drew McIntyre's match against Sheamus on RAW
While Sheamus vs Drew McIntyre on RAW got rave reviews from most people, former WWE writer Vince Russo was not a fan. Russo stated on SportsKeeda's Legion of RAW that the two men should have gone all out instead of throwing 'rabbit punches' on each other.
He believed that the match could have been much more real if they added more of a strong-style approach to the match instead of throwing fake punches.
''They can make contact without hurting each other. They can hit each other and not hurt each other. They were throwing these rabbit punches during that pull apart before we went to commercial; I'm like, guys, what are you doing? No!''
Vince Russo clarified that he is a big fan of the former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and that he likes everything about McIntyre.
#1 Drew McIntyre will regain the WWE Championship at WrestleMania
Drew McIntyre lost the WWE Championship at Elimination Chamber when The Miz cashed in his MITB contract. However, Lashley is now the Superstar who holds the top prize on RAW. It is almost a lock that the Scottish Warrior will take on Bobby Lashley at WrestleMania 37.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has stated that Drew McIntyre is likely to regain the WWE Championship at WrestleMania as WWE want to give him a crowning moment in front of a live crowd.
There’s the obvious thing of having McIntyre get his title win at Mania before 20,000 to 30,000 fans and get that Mania pop for a title win that he couldn’t get last year.
Though many believe that Lashley should have a long reign as the WWE Champion, it looks like his first reign will not last past WrestleMania.
