WWE RAW - 5 Possible surprises - Big change in Survivor Series plans, Big face turn, Roman Reigns destroys potential Royal Rumble winner?

WWE RAW this week should be a very interesting affair for two different reasons. Most of the cast and crew is over in the United Kingdom putting on a show for those across the ocean. Meanwhile, WWE RAW airs from Louisville, Kentucky this week. That's the bad news.

But the good news is that the Survivor Series 2021 build is already underway. WWE announced the teams for the Survivor Series elimination matches on their official Twitter account. Expect a few developments on this front on this week's show.

So, with all of this said, here are five surprises that could potentially happen on the Red brand. They may not happen, but wouldn't it be cool, if it did?

Please do share your thoughts and comments in the section right below.

#5 Roman Reigns crashes WWE RAW and takes down AJ Styles, setting up a future match

It makes all the sense in the world for Universal Champion Roman Reigns to invade WWE RAW and take the fight to the red locker room. And when he does, chances are that he could run into AJ Styles. A future feud could be set up between Reigns and Styles because their previous matches have been absolutely astounding.

Of course, on this occasion, Roman Reigns obliterates AJ Styles and lays him lying in a heap in the middle of the ring, maybe writing him off television.

How cool would it be if Styles and Reigns cross paths again, effectively turning The Phenomenal One into a babyface? The two men trade blows and this feud is forgotten until the Royal Rumble comes around.

AJ Styles wins the Royal Rumble and then the WrestleMania match is one between him and Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship!

#4 Liv Morgan is attacked by Becky Lynch during a WWE RAW live stream

Last week on WWE RAW, we saw Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan come face-to-face. This is something that made the internet buzz with excitement and anticipation.

Since both women are in the United Kingdom, Corey Graves could plan a sit-down with the lovely Morgan from across the Atlantic. And during the course of the conversation, Becky Lynch could destroy Liv Morgan to such an extent that she's ruled out until Survivor Series.

#3 Nikki A.S.H. is announced as the replacement

No, not Ricky from Sportskeeda Wrestling, but Nikki from WWE RAW. Could Adam Pearce announce that Nikki A.S.H. will be stepping in for Liv Morgan at the pay-per-view?

It makes sense to have it this way anyway, especially if you consider that Rhea Ripley is already in the match. There's no women's tag team equivalent on the SmackDown side, so a Champion vs. Champion match cannot happen anyway. Nikki is far too popular a character, especially with kids, to be left off the Survivor Series 2021 card.

#2 Elias returns in a brand new avatar

Elias could return to WWE RAW as a whole new character! There's no better way for him to remind fans how gifted he is than by imbibing a new gimmick with panache.

As for who he could feud with, a great candidate is someone like Cedric Alexander, who can bump like the best of them! Because he's such a gifted orator, it's not impossible to imagine him as a player/coach for someone like T-Bar who has shown great promise!

#1 The WWE RAW Survivor Series team officially splits up

There's been a bit of dissension brewing between Rey and Dominik Mysterio for some time now and it could all come to a boil soon. The WWE RAW Survivor Series team could split up with son turning on father!

There's more than enough talent to fill up this void, even if both men are taken out of the proceedings. Rey and Dominik Mysterio could then embark on a feud of their own, going forward. Maybe The Hurt Business gets this spot!
