With just 4 days left for WWE Super ShowDown in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, WWE will bring to us the go home RAW show for the event tonight live from the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas.
Already announced for the show is Brock Lesnar's massive Money in the Bank cash-in on the Universal Champion, Seth Rollins. Fans are waiting to see whether the Beast actually cashes in on Rollins or not and if he does, whether we'll get a new Universal Champion tonight?
Other than this, a major return announced for the show tonight is that of The Dead Man himself, The Undertaker. Taker is scheduled to take on Goldberg later this week at WWE Super ShowDown in what would be the two icons first one-on-one clash in the history.
While we look forward to the chilling entrance and aura that The Undertaker will bring with himself, he might not be the only special appearance or return that we'll get tonight.
In this article, let's take a look at the 4 surprising returns/appearances that we can witness on Monday Night RAW tonight. Which of these would you be most looking forward to? Let me know your thoughts in the comments section below.
#4 The Viking Raiders
One of the biggest gains for RAW at the Superstar Shake-up was the monstrous team of NXT, The Viking Raiders (previously known by various other names). The former NXT Tag Team Champions had a massive debut on the main roster, dominating and pinning the RAW Tag Team Champions on multiple occasions.
Just when it looked like these two would revitalize the RAW Tag scene, WWE somehow decided not to let them appear on the show. It has been several weeks since these two last appeared on RAW. With the RAW Tag Teams champion also missing from a long time, and The Usos and The Revival busy in a meaningless cringeworthy feud, the Tag division on RAW is under major threat.
These two returning tonight and challenging Hawkins and Ryder for a championship match at Super ShowDown could be the start of better things to come. After pinning them on multiple occasions, they by default should be the #1 contenders anyway.
#3 Matt Riddle
Matt Riddle has been declaring his intentions to face and retire the Beast, Brock Lesnar for years. The NXT Superstar took this to the next level recently when he sent out a tweet warning the Beast that he'll ruin his cash-in on RAW tonight.
While this could be a random tease from The Original Bro, but he can shock us all by appearing on RAW tonight. If he does manage to ruin Brock's party (no pun intended), this could set up a huge match between the two down the line.
#2 Dominic
Another major angle leading into RAW tonight is the fate of the United States Championship. After Rey Mysterio's shocking yet controversial victory at Money in the Bank and the unfortunate injury that he faced, Samoa Joe has been claiming back his title.
While there are many candidates who deserve a shot at what seems to be the vacate title tonight, one name that could return and even debut on RAW tonight could be Rey's son, Dominic. His heavy involvement in Mysterio and Joe's feud did seem to lead towards something big, and that could happen tonight.
#1 Vince McMahon
Dean Ambrose aka Jon Moxley's podcast with Chris Jericho last week was one of the most controversial yet revealing one I've ever heard. His fearless attitude and major statements on WWE and the creative process involved did indicate how frustrated the guy was in the company.
With him directly blaming Vince McMahon for WWE's poor product quality, the chairman would be planning to bounce back in a major way. Last week we saw Sami Zayn sit on the Electric Chair and namedrop the rival "AEW" on the mic. If WWE does bring back the segment on RAW tonight, fans would love to see Mr. McMahon grace the seat and throw some jabs of his own.
Another reason why McMahon could appear tonight is to handle the whole Brock Lesnar MITB cash-in situation. With Stephanie announcing to punish Lesnar for disrespecting the contract to Heyman announcing the cash-in on RAW tonight, the situation is a big mess.
Vince can interfere in the matter and decide what to do with Lesnar, whether to let him cash-in or not or even punish him. In the end, it's always entertaining to watch The Boss on TV.
Which of these returns/appearances would you be most excited to see? Let me know your opinions in the comments section below.
