With just one week left for the 2019 Money in the Bank PPV, WWE will have one last stop before the show at London, England for the go-home RAW for MITB. As we have seen in the past, whenever WWE goes to the United Kingdom for their shows, they always have something special planned to treat their fans over there as well as the ones watching it on their TV screens all around the world.

WWE has already announced a few segments and matches for tonight including a double contract signing for Becky 2 Belts with Charlotte and Lacey Evans. The other advertised matches are The Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman facing Drew McIntyre, Ricochet facing Baron Corbin, and the RAW competitors for the women's MITB ladder match in a fatal-4-way.

Also, The Big Dog Roman Reigns will return to RAW once again with the newly introduced "Wild Card" rule in effect to appear on the most must-see show on WWE, Miz TV. It'll be interesting to see how does Shane McMahon and Elias get involved in this segment and try to gain an upper hand on their opponents this Sunday.

With so much already being announced, what extra can WWE do to make the night memorable and hype everyone for the shows to come? With WWE already establishing the NXT UK brand, can we see some superstars appearing on RAW tonight from there?

In this article, let's take a look at the 4 surprising appearances/returns we can witness tonight on RAW. Feel free to share your thoughts, views, and opinions about tonight's RAW in the comments section below.


#4 Pete Dunne

Pete Dunne, The Bruiserweight, is one of the biggest superstars of the NXT UK brand. Having been the United Kingdom Champion for a massive 685 days, he has proved his worth down on the yellow brand.

With RAW coming to the UK this week, it would be amazing to see Pete Dunne appear on RAW tonight and go face-to-face with a top superstar on the red brand. One of the dream matches on my list is Pete going up against The Beast, Brock Lesnar.

With Lesnar scheduled for the upcoming Saudi Arabia event, can we see Pete laying down a challenge? That would be an amazing way to boost the ratings as this segment would go viral in the blink of an eye.

#3 The Authors of Pain

One-half of the dominating Authors of Pain, Akam, unfortunately, suffered an injury earlier this year in January and has been out of action ever since. Due to the same, his partner Rezar has also been off-TV.

But if the rumors are true, Akam is completely fit for a return now and the Authors of Pain can make a return to WWE TV anytime now. Personally, I would want them to return on SmackDown, but knowing the WWE writers, these two might appear on RAW.

Another interesting thing to note here would be whether WWE decides to give them some new manager or continue with their previous one, Drake Maverick. Another unpopular option would be to let them go without a manager, but a manager would surely be helpful in the longer run. Can WWE shock us all and make them the new Paul Heyman guys?

#2 Luke Harper

Luke Harper was last seen on WWE TV at the WrestleMania 35 pre-show, where he competed in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Ever since he is nowhere to be found.

Among the reports of him asking for his release from the company and WWE not just denying it but also adding few more months to his contract, Bray Wyatt hinted on his Twitter that he is working to get Harper on his Firefly Funhouse.

With Mercy the Buzzard unceremoniously killing poor Ramblin' Rabbit on RAW last week, can we see Bray introducing Harper to the Funhouse this week?


#1 Toni Storm

The NXT UK roster possesses some of the greatest talents right now in the world. With an amazing male roster including the likes of Pete Dunne, Walter, etc, the brand also has a great Women's division, which is led by the current NXT UK Women's Champion, Toni Storm.

Toni is an amazing wrestler, one of my current favorites, and possesses the charisma and intensity to become the next big star in WWE's women's division. Her appearing on RAW tonight would be a great way to introduce her to the main roster, as well as letting the fans know how amazing NXT UK is. Will it be Toni time tonight on RAW?

Even a backstage little face-off with Becky Lynch hinting at a future showdown between the two would get fans on their feet.
