We're less than a week away from WWE's annual Survivor Series PPV, and this week's RAW will look to build a lot of excitement towards the PPV. People have already been speculating if CM Punk will mark his return at the PPV, which takes place in his hometown of Chicago, Illinois.

Anyways, WWE has done a pretty neat job in building up to this event, and RAW looks like it can be exciting. Seth Rollins has offered to put his spot on the men's team on the line against Andrade.

In the women's division, the build-up to Asuka vs. Becky Lynch continues as the former battles Natalya while the latter teams up with Charlotte Flair. There are a few things that WWE shouldn't do, which can improve the quality of the show.

In this article, we will explore three things that shouldn't happen on RAW. Please leave your thoughts below.


#3. Natalya gets the better of Asuka again

Asuka has had a very mixed year in terms of success. Despite starting 2019 as the SmackDown Women's Champion and defeating Becky Lynch at the Royal Rumble, she has fallen quite hard. For months, Asuka and Kairi Sane, known as the Kabuki Warriors, were off TV for no sensible reason.

Thankfully, things changed, and they won the Women's Tag Team Championship a while ago. Two weeks ago, Natalya pinned Asuka in a tag team match and now gets to face the latter in singles competition. Though Natalya is on the back of a historic match at Crown Jewel 2019, she shouldn't win this match.

Asuka needs the victory more as she is probably going to face Becky Lynch for the RAW Women's Championship soon. She is already suffering from a lack of momentum, and a loss will only make things worse. So it's in their best interest to let Asuka win.

#2. Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder become champions

The RAW Tag Team Champions, Viking Raiders, will put their titles on the line against the underdog team of Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder. This match came about after the latter earned a title shot in a triple threat match at a live event in Germany last week.

With just a few days to go before Survivor Series, there should not be any surprising title changes. Though a few surprises can be good in general, this decision will only be negative in the long term. Ryder and Hawkins have been mostly jobbers and got no momentum behind them

It wouldn't make sense if they beat the most dominant tag team in all of WWE. Not only does it affect the Viking Raiders, but it also takes away the credibility from the tag team triple threat match at Survivor Series.

It's best to have the Vikings win clean or to have interference from The Undisputed Era or the New Day, which leads to a DQ finish to spice things up.

#1. Seth Rollins retains his spot

Seth Rollins, the captain of the RAW men's team, has decided to put his spot on the line against Andrade. Thanks to a back-and-forth on Twitter between Zelina Vega and Seth Rollins, we could see the former Universal Champ having to give up his spot to Andrade.

Rollins accepted the challenge, and this match will be one of the high points of RAW. Most fans think that he will win the match pretty comfortably, but that shouldn't be the case. First, Rollins has been finding it hard to get any momentum ever since he started feuding with The Fiend. So, there should be some change in his character to make him interesting.

A loss will push him towards a move to NXT or a heel turn. Second, ever since the draft, Andrade has won every single match he's wrestled on RAW, and this victory could help take him to the next level.

Therefore, a win for Andrade seems the most sensible thing that can happen.
