Hell in a Cell is in the record books, and whether or not you thought this year's edition measured up to the years past, the train rolls on. WWE RAW is scheduled to happen in a matter of hours, and the edition of WWE RAW that follows Hell in a Cell is a critical one to check out.

Nothing has been announced for the show thus far, meaning that we can expect a whole bunch of surprises on this edition of WWE RAW, especially in the light of Randy Orton being crowned the brand new WWE Champion, marking the end of Drew McIntyre's reign. Randy Orton is in the pantheon of the all-time greats, but his next challenger will be determined in the WWE RAW brand.

These are the surprises that we could see in this edition of WWE RAW.


#5 Randy Orton is confronted by WWE RAW's most haunting presence- The Fiend

In an interview with Sportskeeda, Randy Orton revealed that he would be open to a clash with Bray Wyatt, and now that he's the WWE Champion, this seems like an even bigger possibility. Could it happen on this week's edition of WWE RAW, when he comes out to gloat about defeating Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship?

The story's there because, I think it was 2017, maybe 2016 that I was actually in the Wyatt Family. I got to wrestle Bray at WrestleMania. Beat him for the title. If The Fiend has a bone to pick with anybody, it will be the Legend Killer. It will be very interesting.

Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt used to be a part of the Wyatt Family, and the former betrayed his teammate by burning his compound down, in a memorable segment. It could be time for revenge.

#4 Adam Pearce makes Drew McIntyre the captain of the WWE RAW Survivor Series team

In less than a month from now, the final 'Big 4' pay-per-view of the year, Survivor Series will come our way where WWE RAW will take on SmackDown and NXT. And to ensure that Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton do not prolong their feud which has already stretched out for months on end, on WWE RAW, it may be a good idea for Adam Pearce to appoint Drew McIntyre as the team captain, leading his team into battle against the other two brands in WWE.

So, while Randy Orton moves on to a new feud with someone like The Fiend or even someone lower down the card like say, Ricochet, Drew McIntyre could still be in the thick of things in a very prominent role and could enter the title picture once again when crowds are back in the arena once more. Who would you guys pick as Captains for the SmackDown and the NXT team, as Survivor Series 2020 approaches?

#3 Braun Strowman and Keith Lee are forced to team up on the WWE RAW Survivor Series team

Speaking of Survivor Series, WWE RAW will want the most formidable team when it goes up against NXT and SmackDown, and this is why it is all too likely that the team captain of WWE RAW will want both Braun Strowman and Keith Lee, two of the brand's top heavy-hitters to be on the very same side. These are two men that have been on the warpath on WWE RAW and for them to come together to inject a lot of drama into the proceedings over the weeks and months that eventually follow.

Braun Strowman and Keith Lee coming together to form a strong coalition would be the best-case scenario because, in time, The New Day will need a strong team to contend with for the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships and there is no stronger unit than Strowman and Lee, for such a titanic clash. Is this a tag team that you would like to see?

#2 Reckoning assaults WWE RAW Women's Champion Asuka and leaves her in a heap

The Hell in a Cell 2020 card wasn't as stacked as one would have hoped, especially if you consider that the WWE RAW Women's Championship wasn't even defended at the pay-per-view. Asuka has been a great Champion and a great representative for the WWE RAW brand in the role that she has been cast in, but it just seems like, lately, there are no plans for her, with Asuka randomly being inserted into the LAW and Otis skit on SmackDown. However, RETRIBUTION is on the prowl on WWE RAW, and Reckoning may be next in line for the WWE RAW Women's Championship.

RETRIBUTION has lost a lot of momentum since they first debuted and having Reckoning step into the title picture may be a good way to remind the world that the faction does mean business.

Reckoning is actually Mia Yim, whom you may know from NXT and if you've seen her working with the talent in the black and gold brand, you know that she's the real deal.

#1 Tucker finds a new tag team partner from the WWE RAW roster

When we heard that Heavy Machinery would be no more, with Tucker being drafted to WWE RAW and with Otis remaining on SmackDown, we just assumed that they would be amicable even though they went their separate ways. You have Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods on WWE RAW while Big E is a part of the SmackDown roster, but all the parties involved in the equation are just amicable with one another.

But it turns out that Tucker has turned his back on Otis now and this means that he will need a different tag team partner from the WWE RAW roster. Could he potentially team up with someone like Angel Garza, who does not have a tag team partner at this point in time because Andrade went undrafted in the latest edition (of the Draft)? Angel Garza could, in time, also hit on Mandy Rose, taking the feud with Otis to the next level, potentially to be settled at Survivor Series 2020.
