For the past couple of weeks, WWE has been giving its fan base some incredible shows and this week's RAW was no different. The NXT invasion angle is working wonders ahead of the eagerly anticipated Survivor Series pay-per-view.
Monday Night RAW started with Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman giving an ultimatum to Rey Mysterio, which led to a search for the luchador backstage. Then, we saw Natalya and Charlotte Flair picking up a huge win over The Kabuki Warriors.
Moreover, Seth Rollins was given an opportunity against NXT Championship Adam Cole. The match ended in a disqualification before Superstars from NXT and RAW engaged in an all-out brawl.
Furthermore, more Survivor Series matches were also confirmed. Becky Lynch vs Shayna Baszler vs Bayley was made official, while The Viking Raiders vs The Revival vs The Undisputed Era ( Kyle O' Reilly and Bobby Fish) is also set to take place at Survivor Series. Another big match between Lesnar and Mysterio for the WWE Championship was also confirmed for November 24th.
In the following, we take a look at the three things WWE made clear on this week's RAW.
#3 Seth Rollins isn't turning heel......for now
This week, Seth Rollins came out to address the WWE Universe. The former Universal Champion opened up about what's next for him and teased a heel turn during his promo, especially when he explicitly said, " I don't care what you think."
What transpired next, however, was unexpected as Rollins' former mentor, Triple H, gave him a chance at starting from scratch by coming over to NXT. 'The Beastslayer' instead asked for an NXT Championship match against Adam Cole, as Rollins wanted to return to the Black and Gold Brand as the top guy. Rollins was unable to secure the NXT Championship from Cole, leaving the WWE Universe wondering about what's next for 'The Architect.'
From the look of things, WWE might be going ahead with this storyline of Rollins being on edge and not feeling good about being on RAW. The tease of Rollins joining NXT might continue until Survivor Series and he may even face Cole at the PPV.
One thing is certain, Rollins hasn't turned heel yet and he might not until Survivor Series.
#2 Brock Lesnar vs Rey Mysterio is a continuation of Lesnar's feud w/ Velasquez
While the WWE Universe was anticipating The Fiend vs Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series, it looks like the company decided to risk disappointing its fan base by going with a safer route.
WWE is trying its best to make the feud between Rey Mysterio and Brock Lesnar look huge, but savvy fans already know what the result of such a feud would be. There is no way Mysterio is beating 'The Beast' soon after Lesnar secured the WWE Championship.
This feud has probably been booked to keep Cain Velasquez in the WWE Championship picture until the MMA star returns from injury. Perhaps Vince McMahon is planning a second bout between Velasquez and Lesnar for the Royal Rumble, or maybe even WrestleMania 36.
Nevertheless, it's great to see Mysterio being pushed and maybe this feud will pave way for his son Dominick to make his main roster debut.
#1 NXT is set for an invasion on Wednesday Night
Every action has consequences. Therefore, the consequences for NXT might be huge, the the Black and Gold Brand has successfully invaded both RAW and SmackDown. NXT may want to brace themselves for an inevitable Wednesday night invasion.
We may see Superstars from both RAW and SmackDown going after the Black and Gold Brand. This will likely take form when The OC attacks The Undisputed Era in an effort to exact revenge after what happened on Monday night.
From SmackDown, Bayley would be a perfect choice to attack NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler to stake her claim in the upcoming Triple Threat Match at Survivor Series.
Whatever happens, one thing is certain, Survivor Series will definitely help in putting NXT on the map and on par with SmackDown and RAW. Triple H is likely ecstatic with the way things are going for the Black and Gold Brand at the moment and more viewers are certain to tune in to find out what happens next this Wednesday night.
We want to know what you think of the matches that you see on TV! Head on over to our WWE page and rate them!
