The final episode of WWE RAW inside the ThunderDome is all set to be a really packed affair indeed. WWE is cognizant of the fact that last week, it secured the lowest ratings in the company's history and that changes are necessary at this stage.
This is why WWE RAW could be filled with one or more surprises, from the list that has been mentioned here. Feel free to mention any surprises that could potentially happen that we may have overlooked.
Do remember that Stephanie McMahon is meeting with USA Network at the end of the month to address the low ratings which could mean that a lot of surprises could happen on the show going forward. As long as they help the product in a positive way, fans should be quite thrilled indeed.
#5 Cedric Alexander turns babyface on WWE RAW as he confronts Elias backstage
Let us recap the events from last week. There was a tag team match on WWE RAW which featured the babyfaces Jaxson Ryker and R-Truth against the heel team of Elias and Cedric Alexander. During the match, Elias decided that he will walk away to the backstage area, letting Alexander suffer all of the consequences.
WWE RAW clearly needs a strong babyface in the mid-card, to battle Sheamus over the long haul for the prized WWE United States Championship and Cedric Alexander absolutely fits the bill. The only issue is that the man is a despicable heel. Could he turn babyface this week by confronting Elias backstage?
We're pretty much done with Elias vs. Jaxson Ryker, so Elias vs. Cedric Alexander could kick off in a big way. This could be a match that fans long for when WWE RAW is back on the road again.
#4 Jinder Mahal's faction comes together to destroy Ricochet
So, a major WWE RAW match has been advertised between Ricochet and John Morrison. Not only will they get to battle each other for the third time, but they will do so in a Falls Count Anywhere environment on this week's show.
Could Shanky and Veer with Jinder Mahal, under these circumstances, take Ricochet down during the match? Maybe just as he is about to close in on a victory?
#3 WWE RAW star Jinder Mahal is booked for Money in the Bank 2021
Clearly, WWE wants to continue with the whole Jinder Mahal vs. Drew McIntyre storyline. So, having Mahal in the same match as McIntyre i.e. the Money in the Bank ladder match makes a great deal of sense, doesn't it?
Could the WWE RAW authority figures decide that with Ricochet out of the match, Jinder Mahal is the best way forward? It allows for the former to have a readymade feud when he's (kayfabe) cleared for WWE RAW. It creates a sub-plot in the Money in the Bank ladder match!
#2 Bray Wyatt returns on WWE RAW during the big Alexa Bliss match
Let's take a detour from WWE RAW and check out former SAnitY member Killian Dain, now known as Big Damo, talking about a dream Wyatt Family vs. SAnitY feud. Unfortunately, the program never happened, but it could really have been pretty good.
Speaking of the patriarch of The Wyatt Family, he could certainly shake up the current product in a big way with his return. Could he show up during the Alexa Bliss vs. Nikki Cross vs. Naomi vs. Asuka clash and cost Bliss the match with a distraction? What a way to announce his presence.
Hey, he wants revenge for what happened at WrestleMania after all.
#1 Omos loses his singles debut match in a stunning twist
On WWE RAW, Omos will wrestle his first singles match against Erik. Because he's been portrayed as being so bulletproof, everyone thinks that he has the match in his pocket.
For him to lose this match would make the WWE RAW Tag Team title picture very interesting indeed. If The Viking Raiders discover just about any chink in his armor and use it to their advantage to win big, then the Champions go into the upcoming title match at a disadvantage.
