People often complain about how tiresome WWE RAW is, how sitting through three hours of sports entertainment on a weekly basis is a major chore. However, the complaints stop on the RAW after WrestleMania, which is filled with many surprises.

Often the surprises listed in these articles do not necessarily come true. However, the episode of WWE RAW after WrestleMania is a show where surprises WILL happen - they are guaranteed to happen.

Here are five surprises that we could potentially see on WWE RAW this week. Let us know if you agree or disagree with them.

#5 Brock Lesnar shows up on WWE RAW and destroys Bobby Lashley

From the very moment that Bobby Lashley defeated Drew McIntyre with a distraction from MVP, people have yearned for a confrontation between the All-Mighty One and The Beast Incarnate.

Who are we kidding? The rumblings of a match between these two MMA powerhouses began many years ago, even when Brock Lesnar was in WWE and Bobby Lashley in TNA. Lashley has been very vocal about wanting this match, to no avail.

It does seem like finally Bobby Lashley has been booked strongly enough to at least appear to be at Brock Lesnar's level as a competitor.

How cool would it be if Bobby Lashley ends the show by showing up, issuing an open challenge, and then being shocked out of his wits when Brock Lesnar shows up!

The Beast could leave Lashley lying in a pile in the middle of the ring and then just disappear for a few months.

A match of this magnitude needs a big stage and SummerSlam may be the ideal site for a confrontation of this size.

Four more surprises await. Flip the page!

#4 Becky Lynch confronts the WWE RAW Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley

Why could Becky Lynch show up on WWE RAW? Well, she did tease that she would show up on the first night of WrestleMania (the first letter of each line adds up to NIGHT ONE). Of course, Becky Lynch was nowhere to be seen, making fans wonder if she would show up on Night 2.

Lynch trolled the fans again, making them believe that she would show up on the second night of WrestleMania 37, in particular, during the Bayley segment. Instead, the Bella Twins shared screen space with Bayley in a segment that did not go down well with fans.

But maybe she does show up on Monday Night to confront the WWE RAW Women's Champion, Rhea Ripley, reminding her that she never lost her title when she stepped away.

Becky Lynch vs. Rhea Ripley could happen down the line at a pay-per-view like SummerSlam.

This appearance could just be a reminder that Lynch is very much around, keeping her eyes on the division!

#3 The Viking Raiders go for the newly crowned WWE RAW Tag Team Champions

AJ Styles and Omos had the most dominant performance at WrestleMania, where they teamed up to capture the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships. The question on everyone's mind is whether anyone can defeat Omos at all if you consider the way in which he's been booked.

Ivar has been out with a major injury for a very long time now and one has to hope that he's ready for a return to the ring. Could The Viking Raiders return and be a part of the WWE RAW Tag Team Championship picture again?

These are two heavyweights who can, if they combine their might, prove to be formidable foes for AJ Styles and Omos.

Ivar and Erik could wage many battles with AJ Styles and Omos in the months that follow. The titles could also switch back and forth between them. It doesn't make sense to bring The New Day back into the title picture immediately. Fans may not react positively to such a move.

#2 Alexa Bliss shows up on WWE RAW, this time with Braun Strowman in tow

The whole world will tune into WWE RAW to hear why Alexa Bliss turned on The Fiend at WrestleMania. Chances are that she has a brand new client now and she can drop the goth act for good. She might assume a full-time managerial role and become the mouthpiece for someone like Braun Strowman.

Braun Strowman and Alexa Bliss have teased romance in the past and that could be the angle that the two of them employ on WWE RAW going forward. There may be a hint of flirtation between them.

Once the partnership gets underway, Alexa Bliss goes back to her Goddess character once again. Clearly, there are quite a few fans of that character on the internet.

Braun Strowman vs. Bray Wyatt could be the big feud on WWE RAW through the summer months leading up to SummerSlam. Optimistic fans may yearn for a Bo Dallas vs. Bray Wyatt feud, but clearly, WWE doesn't see as much value in him as us!

#1 Kofi Kingston turns heel on WWE RAW and joins The Hurt Business

Before we mention the final potential WWE RAW after WrestleMania surprise, we ask you guys for 20 minutes of your time. Once you're done reading this article, be sure to click on the video above to hear what former WWE Superstar JTG had to say about this year's edition of WrestleMania.

This is the boldest prediction of the lot, but genuinely where does The New Day go after losing all of their gold? We know that Big E will be a prominent player on SmackDown, but Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods also need something to sink their teeth into.

We know that MVP is recruiting members into The Hurt Business. So could we see the ultimate swerve where Kofi Kingston breaks away from The New Day and aligns himself with the mastermind of the faction?

With Bobby Lashley and Kofi Kingston, The Hurt Business may once again become the most dominant stable on the WWE RAW brand. Or so one hopes.
