This will be the final episode of WWE RAW before Hell in a Cell, so it's not an episode that one can afford to miss. Or so one hopes from the WWE writing staff.
There needs to be some surprises on WWE RAW to get the audience intrigued about the upcoming pay-per-view. As exciting as Hell in a Cell used to be once upon a time, the match style and the pay-per-view itself have both lost a lot of steam.
Of course, you are more than welcome to chime in and let us know if you think these surprises will make WWE RAW more exciting or not. If you think you can book better than the WWE creative team, by all means, list your own surprises in the comments section below.
#5 WWE RAW before Hell in a Cell sees a massive heel turn
Kofi Kingston and MVP had the opportunity to create magic last week on WWE RAW. The promo felt real and authentic, it made us wonder if Kofi Kingston was going to turn heel and align with the WWE Champion. Could Kofi Kingston turn heel on this week's episode of WWE RAW?
He could interfere in the Drew McIntyre vs. AJ Styles match, allowing The Phenomenal One to pick up a big victory. Xavier Woods is in two minds about this new attitude from Kofi Kingston, and this drama could unfold on WWE RAW over many weeks. Many opportunities could arise from a Kofi Kingston heel turn, and it may just be time.
We've seen how cool a serious Big E is. Even if Big E has to take on Kofi Kingston after the upcoming brand split, it would make things very interesting indeed. WWE RAW or SmackDown could really benefit from this change in Kingston's character.
#4 Could Shayna Baszler get possessed by the ghost of Lilly?
Last week on WWE RAW, Shayna Baszler learned that you do not mess with the forces of the supernatural world. It remains to be seen if Lilly has indeed possessed her body after how things unfolded.
So could Alexa Bliss and the possessed Shayna Baszler form a tag team on WWE RAW going forward? There doesn't seem to be any other team on either brand that can challenge Natalya and Tamina right now. It also allows Shayna Baszler to regain the steam she lost with bad booking decisions from WWE.
#3 Could Bobby Lashley and The Viking Raiders interfere in a big WWE RAW match?
Drew McIntyre takes on one half of the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions, AJ Styles, this week. Based on how important both men are, the company may not necessarily want either man to take a pinfall.
Could Bobby Lashley crash the party and so too The Viking Raiders? Could this singles match turn into a 6-man tag (with Omos thrown in the mix as well)? This wouldn't be the first time that such a twist has happened on WWE RAW.
#2 Last week's events on WWE RAW shake up the Hell in a Cell card
Nikki Cross pinned the WWE RAW Women's Champion last week. What does that mean? It means that she could very well be added to the big match at Hell in a Cell.
Even if she's only in the match to take the fall, it's a HUGE step up for her. Whether the creative team takes such a bold step remains to be seen. But fans will agree that Cross deserves this accolade because of how immensely talented she is.
#1 Another match is added to the Hell in a Cell card
In case you want to stay up to date with the latest in the world of WWE RAW, SmackDown, and NXT, please do subscribe to our YouTube channel. Jose G has you covered with Sheamus' injury story and much more.
Neither Ricochet nor Humberto Carillo could pick up the win on WWE RAW last week. This was a match to determine Sheamus' next challenger. Could Adam Pearce/Sonya Deville determine that because neither man won, Sheamus will have to face both men at Hell in a Cell?
This is certainly a road that Vince McMahon could go down on WWE RAW.
