It is very necessary indeed for WWE RAW to have a whole bunch of surprises because we are at a critical juncture on the road to Survivor Series 2020. Even though the build to the pay-per-view has been slow and steady, there has been no emotional investment in a WWE RAW vs. SmackDown feud considering that the brands were set in stone just recently.
We are likely to see inter-brand conflict on both WWE RAW and SmackDown as the pay-per-view draws near, and it could begin this week. Be sure to leave a comment and let us know what surprises you'd personally like to see on the WWE RAW brand.
Also, as always, you are welcome to chime in and share your thoughts on the surprises listed here.
#5 Big E from SmackDown betrays his brothers The New Day from WWE RAW, assaulting them when their backs are turned
Big E recently caught up with Sportskeeda, where he was asked if he would be supporting his New Day brothers from WWE RAW or The Street Profits from SmackDown.
This was his answer:
Look, I…that’s an easy question. I know during Survivor Series, we’re supposed to be very ‘pro brand’ and yaay, our brand. But the love for Kofi and Woods easily supersedes the love for the brand. So, I got to go with Kofi and Woods. That’s a no-brainer. Kofi and Woods all day. Love The Street Profits. Respect The Street Profits. What they do is incredible in the ring. They are just this force of entertainment. But, easily Kofi and Woods.
And yet, WWE creative may have different plans for Big E, when they have him invade the Red brand, with the SmackDown squad and take down his New Day brethren this week.
#4 Lana forms a new tag team on WWE RAW to even the odds against Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler
You can only go through so many tables on WWE RAW before you fight back against the women that are bullying you. Could Lana potentially team up with someone from the back to take the fight to Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler on WWE RAW, and take the WWE Women's Championship from them?
The ideal woman for this role is Naomi, someone who hasn't been used on WWE RAW in quite some time and who would make a formidable ally for Lana, going forward.
Nikki Cross, who is clearly not going to be aligned with Alexa Bliss on WWE RAW, could be yet another Superstar who teams up with Lana, and who goes gunning for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship.
And maybe when Charlotte Flair returns to WWE RAW, she doesn't go straight for Asuka but forms a partnership with someone like Lana, to challenge the Champions that rule the roost in the tag team division.
#3 The Hurt Business become the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions at last
The Hurt Business and The New Day had one of the more solid matches on WWE RAW last week, and the result was very surprising indeed, all things considered. The Hurt Business ended up with a massive win over The New Day and pinning the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions usually guarantees you a shot at the titles.
This could be a way to book a Hurt Business vs. Street Profits match at Survivor Series because The New Day and The Street Profits are both far too beloved to battle each other. Vince McMahon may want to make The Hurt Business the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions heading into Survivor Series because it also allows The New Day to pick up another win at a later date, and add to their record.
Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander showed a lot of chemistry when they teamed up on WWE RAW last week, but do they have the chemistry to take down The New Day this week?
#2 Angel Garza tries his luck with WWE RAW Superstar Alexa Bliss and regrets it
Alexa Bliss is absolutely gorgeous and for WWE RAW Superstar Angel Garza to try his luck with her would be totally in line with his character. But, it's not the same Alexa Bliss we know and love from when she was The Goddess, and because she has undergone a vast transformation recently, Angel Garza may just be messing with forces beyond his comprehension. The new Alexa Bliss could truly terrify and intimidate Angel Garza on WWE RAW, and send him running.
We saw the reaction on Nikki Cross' face last week when she chanced upon the transformed Alexa Bliss backstage on WWE RAW, and it just seems very likely that her current incarnation will be used to tell several intriguing stories, going forward.
Angel Garza is not someone who is averse to humor and neither is Alexa Bliss if you look at her body of work on WWE RAW and SmackDown. Rosemary from IMPACT Wrestling too has embraced the comedic side of the supernatural.
#1 Could Tucker get recruited by the WWE RAW faction- RETRIBUTION?
There has to be a point when it comes to splitting up Heavy Machinery considering that Tucker is losing matches on WWE RAW whereas Otis is losing matches on SmackDown right now. One of the most likely scenarios, at least in the case of WWE RAW star Tucker is that he could potentially be recruited by RETRIBUTION, who could extend the olive branch following the recent altercation.
If you look at the rest of RETRIBUTION and also, in the case of Mustafa Ali, these are vandals who are upset with the normal order of things and believe that they deserve a lot more.
Tucker is someone who falls into this bracket as well, who was cast simply as a sidekick for Otis during the entire length of duration that the man spent on SmackDown and isn't faring far better ever since he moved to WWE RAW either.
Long before Tucker was drafted to WWE RAW, Sportskeeda had a chance to catch up with Otis who expressed love unbound for his brother and tag team partner.
