The following episode of WWE RAW comes to us from the TD Garden in Boston and should be one that you simply cannot miss. After all, we're only two weeks away from WrestleMania and all the pieces are lining up very well indeed.
Follow Sportskeeda for the latest WWE news, rumors and all other wrestling news.
As always, I bring you a list of surprises that could potentially take place on the show. While all of them could certainly transpire, there's also the remote possibility that none of them actually will.
Whatever the case may be, there's no doubting that all of them could significantly enhance the show only two weeks removed from Wrestlemania.
So what are these five surprises then? I will list them all out in this article for your reading pleasure.
Let me know your thoughts and views in the comments below.
#5 Roman Reigns accepts Drew McIntyre's match with a stipulation
So, Drew McIntyre attacked Roman Reigns right before he was scheduled to take on Baron Corbin in a singles match two weeks past on WWE RAW.
The attack was so brutal that Roman Reigns actually did not return to RAW the following week, to sell his injury convincingly. Seth Rollins took on Drew McIntyre and lost the match with a little bit of help from Brock Lesnar.
There's no doubt at all that Roman Reigns will return to action on this week's show. But what I think can and should happen is that their match at WrestleMania should potentially have a stipulation. Because of the nature of the assault, I think it should be a no-DQ or falls count anywhere match.
This would also allow Drew McIntyre to pick up a big win at WrestleMania against Roman Reigns. Someone could interfere, and Reigns could feud with him following WrestleMania 35.
#4 Ronda Rousey stripped of the RAW Women's Championship
Last week, Ronda Rousey took on Dana Brooke in a title match with the RAW Women's Championship on the line.
It's wasn't as much a match as it was a squash, with Rousey defeating her challenger in a matter of mere seconds. But then all things broke loose when she wouldn't let go of Brooke's arm.
The fight intensified to the point where security had to get involved, and as she's done several times before this, Rousey snapped, attacking security.
Her husband Travis Browne got involved in the altercation as well and he decked a security guard right in the face. In fact, they also addressed the whole situation in a video posted later.
I think that Ronda Rousey could be stripped of the championship as we head into WrestleMania 35. Basically, that would mean that there is no champion and that it would be up for grabs.
#3 Kurt Angle takes on Finn Balor
As Kurt Angle indicated through his Instagram, his farewell tour will continue on Monday Night as well, as RAW moves to Boston. The question is who will step up next to challenge Kurt Angle and have a fantastic match with the living legend next?
I really think that Finn Balor would be a worthy candidate because if you think about it, Kurt Angle is only taking on babyfaces and let's be honest, you need a smaller and more agile guy to carry Angle at his age.
More importantly, he's not the Intercontinental Champion anymore and a loss to Angle will not affect him per se.
Balor vs. Angle is a good match and in my opinion, is a match that fans will want to see too. I daresay that it may turn out to be a bigger match than Corbin vs. Angle.
Angle will go over, as he's winning all the matches in his farewell tour.
#2 Luke Harper makes a return to RAW
Believe it or not, Luke Harper is back but he's just not back on TV yet. He's been working on the Live Events for RAW, away from his Bludgeon Brother Erick Rowan who's Daniel Bryan's intellectual peer on SmacKDown Live right now. The two men have been separated and this may be for the best, in my personal opinion.
So, I think Luke Harper could certainly make his return on RAW this week. I can see him taking on Apollo Crews for sure, but I wouldn't mind him as Kurt Angle's mystery challenger either. Even if he loses in his TV comeback match, a contest with Kurt Angle to prove his worth may be what Luke Harper needs.
Maybe a pairing with Bray Wyatt is not what the doctor ordered for Harper. An individual run could set him apart and usher in a brand new chapter in his career.
#1 Kurt Angle's WrestleMania match changed?
Kurt Angle announced that Baron Corbin would be his final opponent at WrestleMania. Needless to say, the WWE Universe, who wanted Angle vs. Cena was not happy at all with this particular development.
They've all taken to social media and have voiced their displeasure with the match recently. So much so, that rumours surfaced that the match could be changed.
I think that WWE could potentially even make this match a triple threat. And if they do, they could certainly add The Undertaker or John Cena. This would make the crowd very happy indeed.
The funny thing is that as the youngest man in the match, Baron Corbin may have to do all of the heavy lifting. This is something that WWE fans simply do not seem to get at all.
Do you think one or more of these surprises could take place on RAW just two weeks before WrestleMania 35 happens?
