WWE RAW: 5 Surprises that could happen- Big return causes major upset, Yet another heel turn

I think it is safe to say by now that WWE RAW has been a lot better qualitatively than SmackDown has been over the past few weeks. A lot of it has certainly to do with the mad genius named Paul Heyman steering the ship.

But what can we potentially expect on this week's episode of RAW, you ask? While a lot of segments have been advertised, the truth of the matter is that it is the unadvertised segments that may actually cause a stir.

It's time for me to list out 5 of these segments as surprises for your reading pleasure, folks. Be sure to leave a comment and let me know your views and your thoughts.

As we head towards WWE Super ShowDown and then WrestleMania, business is guaranteed to pick up (and how!)

#5 Edge returns to take out Randy Orton

So, Matt Hardy was Randy Orton's latest victim after he cut a passionate promo about Edge, and the fact that they were once the best of friends before they had a falling out. This week, Randy Orton and Matt Hardy are slated to take one another on, in a No Holds Barred match. Could we see the epic return of Edge to take Randy Orton out, and confirm their big match for WrestleMania 36?

Paul Heyman and Vince McMahon are making sure that Edge only shows up on select occasions and not every single week because he's a special attraction and WWE doesn't want the modern WWE fan to turn on the legend as they have turned on so many babyfaces in the past. I have to say that they've been doing a commendable job thus far.

And Edge's return may actually cause a massive upset, allowing Matt Hardy to pin Randy Orton in the middle of the ring, this week.

#4 The Big Show turns heel once again

The Big Show has turned face and heel so many times, it's become the subject of memes and gifs galore. There are very strong rumors that he will be making a massive comeback to WWE RAW this week.

And if he does, just to get a pop from the crowd, I wouldn't be surprised if he turns on the same guys that he had teamed up with not long before and even goes the extra mile to join Seth Rollins' faction too. And this may actually start a feud between Samoa Joe and The Big Show, for instance, which would be a great way for the veteran to put Joe over big.

Even though Samoa Joe has been in the business for a really long time, he hasn't wrestled at the level of The Big Show. For the legend to put him over, as he did for Braun Strowman, would be a very important stepping stone for Samoa Joe to ascend all the way to the very top.

#3 The contents of Erick Rowan's cage are revealed

Aleister Black has claimed that he will take the fight to the roster. I wonder if this leads to a feud with Erick Rowan who's lost a lot of steam because WWE has delayed the whole 'what's in the cage?' payoff to the point where it seems absolutely pointless and the audience has just stopped caring about it entirely.

Maybe Aleister Black can hit the cage with a Black Mass and split it open too. It will be very interesting to see what is within, but I have a feeling that it's going to be something absolutely harmless like a sheep mask.

Eric Rowan was on top of the world back when he was on WWE SmackDown and he was allied with Daniel Bryan in the storyline with Roman Reigns. His RAW run hasn't fared out in the way he would have ordinarily liked, I fear.

Rowan's a talented individual but all his gimmicks have just fizzled out, be it The Bludgeon Brothers or the run with Daniel Bryan.

#2 Shayna Baszler brings her Horsewomen to RAW as well

You don't attack Becky Lynch and bite her in the back of the neck and expect to do it for a second consecutive week as well. If Shayna Baszler even attempts something of this nature, let it be known that The Man will have her number. But what Lynch may be unprepared for, is the arrival of Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke.

The eventual aim may be to book a Four Horsewomen vs. Four Horsewomen match when Ronda Rousey returns. This is a contest that has the potential to main-event a pay-per-view like WrestleMania or even SummerSlam because of how big it is. It's a match that has been talked about for ages now, and even though the four horsewomen of WWE are not necessarily on the same page right now, this storyline may make them all babyfaces (or heels).

But for this particular storyline, we could see the Horsewomen come to RAW, which forces an alliance between Becky Lynch and maybe another member of the roster, like Natalya.

#1 New challengers for Seth Rollins and Murphy

Coming back to Seth Rollins, while he's still very much at war with the Viking Raiders, I have a feeling that someone else may have to step up to the plate as well, to make the tag team division exciting. And the best contenders for the same would be the Street Profits, who are on a high after a monumental win over Riddick Moss and Mojo Rawley last week.

As great as the Viking Raiders are, The Street Profits are the future and it is clear why, when you look at them. They are based in reality, speaking the lingo that the audience speaks and not based on a fantasy-themed gimmick like the former Champions.

While the crowd is always behind the Raiders, I think that the Street Profits may actually have a significantly better connection with the audience. And a feud with Seth Rollins and Murphy is exactly what they need right now.

Could we see a massive showdown during Seth Rollins' sermon on this week's show?
