#5 Report ahead of RAW claims Superstar wants to leave WWE

McMahon

WWE insider WrestleVotes gave out some breaking news right before RAW claiming that a big name in WWE has decided not to renew his contract with the company once it expires.

Although they have not disclosed the name of the Superstar, it has been made clear that this Superstar will not be a part of WWE. The two big Superstars who were having contract negotiations with WWE recently were Rey Mysterio and Jeff Hardy. However, it was reported that both these men have re-signed with WWE.

It was also revealed recently that former WWE Champion and RAW Superstar Brock Lesnar had also refused to re-sign with WWE. One of the reasons for this is that Vince McMahon is not keen on bumping contracts at a time where he is firing people.

I can’t reveal the name as that’s just not smart business, but I can very confidently say that a certain WWE talent has decided to not resign with the company once their current deal expires.

We will keep a close eye on the situation and hopefully the name of this Superstar will be revealed soon.

#4 Brock Lesnar wants a return program with RAW Superstar R-Truth

There has been a lot of speculation in regards to what the future holds for The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar on RAW. It has been reported that Lesnar's contract with WWE has already expired with Lesnar not re-signing. However, it is also being said that Brock Lesnar will almost certainly return to WWE once the company bumps up his offer.

There have been rumors circulating that Brock Lesnar is a huge fan of R-Truth and wants to have a program with the iconic 24/7 Champion. RAW Superstar R-Truth confirmed these rumors while speaking with Spandex saying that Lesnar wants a program with him.

''Brock actually has been pitching ideas. He wants to work with me doing something because of that segment. He pitched a couple ideas. He and I talked afterwards. The sky's the limit. This business is always changing, and I'm always changing with things." (H/T: WrestlingInc)

Lesnar and R-Truth have had a segment on RAW in the past where Truth managed to make Lesnar break character and laugh on screen.

This week on RAW we saw Kevin Owens pick up a win against Aleister Black. However, one of the reasons the former Universal Champion was able to pick up a win was because of the lights flickering during the match, distracting Black.

While speaking on RAW Talk, Aleister Black said that Kevin Owens is a member of RETRIBUTION as it is too much of a coincidence that the faction helped him pick up a win against him.

Aleister Black explained the reason why he attacked Kevin Owens in the very first place. He then accused Owens of being a member of RETRIBUTION as it was just too much of a coincidence for the light to flicker during their match.

Even though the identities of 5 members of the faction has been revealed, they are mostly NXT Superstars. Mojo Rawley is also a part of the faction which could mean that even main roster Superstars could be part of the group.

It would make sense to have someone like Kevin Owens lead the charge as it would give the group more credibility on RAW.

#2 Mickie James suffers serious injury on RAW

6-time Women's Champion Mickie James finally got a shot at the RAW Women's Champion this week on RAW. Unfortunately, things did not go her way and she may have suffered a serious injury during her match with Asuka.

The match between Asuka and James saw a botched finish leading to speculation that something was off. Mick Foley has stated that he has heard that Mickie James suffered a shoulder injury which is why the match had a rushed ending.

I'm hearing that @MickieJames may have injured her shoulder in tonight's #Raw match - which would explain the quick ending to the match. If true, I'm wishing Mickie a quick and complete recovery...and hoping she gets another shot at the title.

Lance Strorm had also stated that he heard the referee saying that she had popped her shoulder out.

Mickie James had returned a few weeks back and been in a program with Lana and Natalya. While it was obvious that she wouldn't be beating Asuka, James finally got her much deserved prominence on RAW.

#1 Big heel turn being planned for RAW Superstar Keith Lee

Keith Lee has made a major impact on RAW since his arrival on the red brand. The Limitless One has already picked up a win over Randy Orton and continues to be one of the focal points of RAW.

As per WrestlingNews.co, we can expect Keith Lee to turn heel soon and feud with Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship.

"We were told that at some point, the plan is to turn him heel to feud with the top babyface over the WWE championship."

There had been reports stating that Vince McMahon saw a monstrous heel in Keith Lee when he saw him at Survivor Series. So it doesn't come as much of a surprise that The Chairman wants to turn the moment maker into RAW's top heel in the future.

This is what Keith Lee had said after McIntyre had interfered in his match against Randy Orton:

Listen, I get why tonight, but I have an issue with the fact that I know that you know there's only one chance that you have to make a first impression and you interfered with that. I have since redeemed you. I have avenged you and said, 'okay, now this is done, I took care of this for you, now you canc ome back and give him the beating that he deserves'.
