WWE Raw: 5 things that may happen this week  (15 April 2019)

The Superstar Shake-Up is on everyone's minds as the ardent WWE follower awaits Monday Night Raw. The WrestleMania fever is done and we now are back to square one and that is what excites us to the core! Pulsating storylines, fascinating feuds and new faces is what the post WrestleMania period is known for and is what makes us tune in every week.

This week's Raw comes with a lot of promise simply because the Superstar Shake-up commences which will certainly give birth quite a few mind-boggling scenarios. While the Raw after Mania did create quite a buzz, this week's episode may blow the roof off simply because there is a lot to expect.

Here we list down 5 things that may happen on this week's episode of Monday Night Raw:

#5 Seth Rollins discovers his next opponent

Seth Rollins is the reigning Universal Champion

Seth Rollins is on a high after laying The Beast at the Grandest Stage of Them All. The Architect burned down Suplex City as he conquered the ultimate conquerer in order to become the new Universal Champion of the world. Seth addressed the WWE Universe last week on Raw and just when the Beastslayer was all pumped up to deliver yet another awe-inspiring promo, in came Kofi Kingston to propose a surprise match.

The newly crowned WWE Champion, Kofi Kingston challenged Rollins for a match with all at stake i.e. WWE Championship as well as the Universal Championship. The two newly crowned world champions were going toe-to-toe just when Bar intervened to attack both the stars, thus we now stand with Kofi and Seth as the WWE and Universal Champion respectively.

Ever since Rollins became the one to challenge Lesnar, it has been all about becoming a fighting champion. And now that Seth is the Universal Champion, we are sure that the former Shield member awaits his next opponent. Seth won't be alone in the line as the ardent WWE followers too await the next challenger for the Universal Title. We all may get know as to who is the next man to battle Rollins inside the squared circle for the prestigious Universal Championship.

#4 Lacey Evans grabs the mic, FINALLY!

Lacey Evans in action

WWE has been extremely careful with Lacey Evans as the recently recruited superstar from NXT is yet to make her in-ring debut despite featuring on multiple episodes of Raw. Evans has been seen on Raw for quite some time now and every time she appears, the WWE Universe has seemed to have cheered and anticipated as to what the company holds in store for her.

Raw after Mania witnessed the triumphant Becky Lynch delivering her speech and just when she was about to walk back after cutting a nice segment with the mic, out came Lacey Evans.

The NXT recruit surprised the WWE Universe by taking the first shot at the newly crowned Women's Champion and it now seems like Becky's next opponent has been chosen by the company. Lacey had an entertaining fist-fight with the Irish Lasskicker and it seems like WWE is ready to cash-in on their hot prospect from NXT.

Lacey has been seen walking up and down the ramp ever since she appeared on Raw but following the previous week's actions, we might see her grab the mic this time!

#3 Lars Sullivan brutalises yet another veteran!

Lars Sullivan in action

The WWE Universe went in a state of shock last week on Raw as Lars Sullivan appeared on Raw for the very first time. The behemoth walked down to the ring to attack a certain legend who goes by the name of Kurt Angle.

The Olympic hero was in the middle of the ring with Baron Corbin as the former GM aimed some retribution against the man who defeated him in his farewell match at WrestleMania 35.

Just when the crowd was gearing up for the 'You Suck!' chants, out came Lars Sullivan to shock the entire arena. The Freak has been advertised for quite some time and finally, we got to see the man who literally terrorised the NXT locker room, here on Monday Night Raw.

Sullivan continued his brutal spree at SmackDown as well, where he attacked the Hardy Boyz! Expect to see the new member of the main roster this Monday night as well, where he might look to take down yet another veteran.

#2 AJ Styles is drafted to the Red Brand

AJ Styles will be a pretty stunning addition to the Raw locker room

When it comes to listing down the top in-ring performers of the company, there is one man whose name pops up in our mind and that is of The Phenomenal, AJ Styles. There is no doubt in the former WWE Champion's ability as he is often considered as one of the most gifted performers of his generation. AJ does possess every tool in his arsenal in order to be mentioned amongst the modern day greats of this industry.

Styles defeated Randy Orton at WrestleMania 35 in what was an immensely entertaining bout that showcased the incredible in-ring prowess of both these extraordinary superstars. AJ has been instrumental in SmackDown Live's success but it might be time for the phenomenal one to leave the house that he famously built!

Styles has feuded with almost everybody on the blue brand, thus a switch to Raw seems like the only viable option for the high-flying superstar.

#1 Doctor of Thuganomics returns to Monday Night Raw

Doctor of Thuganomics aka John Cena

John Cena created quite a stir on the Social Media when he appeared at WrestleMania in his Doctor of Thuganomics gimmick. The Leader of Cenation surprised the fans worldwide with his appearance and what really mesmerized the WWE enthusiasts was Cena's portrayal of his former self.

The 16-time world champion was seen rapping at the Showcase of Immortals and the same might be in sight come Monday night at Raw. the superstar shakeup is set to commence and it seems like the perfect time for Cena to announce his return.

John Cena is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars of all-time and sells arenas, boosts the merchandise sales and most importantly makes us stick to our seats with his undisputable aura.

Avid followers of WWE have craved for a John Cena character change and what happened at Mania suggests that we will be witnessing a new John Cena who will now rekindle his love for rapping and not to forget -some heavy chains!
