#5 Reason why Roman Reigns did not appear on WWE RAW revealed

The clash between Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre at Survivor Series 2020 is being hailed as a dream match, and these words from Triple H, certainly allude to this;

I would love to see that percolate because I think that a couple of years down the road Roman Reigns vs. Drew McIntyre is a Hulk Hogan-Ric Flair scenario, Rock-‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin scenario, and you don’t want to hit that before it peaks. That’s what makes the draft so exciting to me is those moments in time where you were like, ‘well, what if?’ and then ‘what if’ becomes a reality.

It is clear that there was no invasion this week not only because of Covid precautions, but also to keep the two men apart before the big dream match. Moreover, the company wanted Drew McIntyre to win the WWE RAW main event match clean to be portrayed as Roman Reigns' equal, and hence the tribal chief did not crash the party.

#4 Could Sheamus, who is somewhere between a face and heel, be Drew McIntyre's first big feud on WWE RAW?

Sheamus and Drew McIntyre have quite a history together and even though he's not a white-meat babyface, the two men have been quite chummy on the WWE RAW brand. So much so, that Sheamus gifted Drew McIntyre with heirlooms of his Scottish heritage as he raged into battle in the WWE RAW main event, dressed as a warrior.

Because one wouldn't want Drew McIntyre and Randy Orton to clash again after battling all through the Summer, it may be Sheamus who steps up to the plate next.

Sheamus is a heel who could suffer a loss and not really lose his place in the roster considering that entering the title picture will be a massive step up for the Celtic Warrior from what he's been up to these days.

So, could we see a major heel turn at Survivor Series or on the night after to set up a massive new feud for the WWE Championship on the WWE RAW brand?

#3 Will RETRIBUTION get involved in the hit and run case on WWE RAW with Elias and Jeff Hardy?

Elias is convinced that WWE RAW Superstar Jeff Hardy is behind the accident that happened to him, where he was ruled out for a long period of time. The WWE RAW star was a part of SmackDown back then, and the angle was carried out to conceal an injury that he had suffered.

But the only way to find out whether the driver behind the wheel was an intoxicated Jeff Hardy or not could be with the involvement of Mustafa Ali, who is a hacker and who may have the footage of what actually happened during that fateful evening on SmackDown.

Maybe, in due course of time, it is revealed that someone entirely different was a part of the hit and run incident, causing Elias to turn face and causing someone else from the WWE RAW roster to go heel and engage in a furious feud. Who do you think could have been behind the hit and run?

#2 Mandy Rose was written off the WWE RAW Women's Survivor Series team to hide her legitimate injury, Reckoning vs. Dana Brooke shall be the big feud going forward

In case you weren't aware, last week on WWE RAW, Mandy Rose suffered a legitimate injury during a scuffle with Nia Jax and as a result, she was written off the show this week. And the reason why Dana Brooke was written off Survivor Series 2020 as well, is because it sets up a feud with RECKONING from RETRIBUTION. As you may be aware, Reckoning is Mia Yim from NXT, who hasn't really done much since her arrival on WWE RAW.

Dana Brooke is likely to return sooner than Mandy Rose because her injury is kayfabe and she can enter into RECKONING's first big feud on WWE RAW when she does.

Not everyone was thrilled with the inclusion of Peyton Royce and Lacey Evans to the WWE RAW squad this week. But at the same time, they are likely to be eliminated early, at no great cost to their overall momentum.

#1 The Fiend and Alexa Bliss have been curiously removed from the title picture on WWE RAW

Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss came face-to-face with The Fiend on WWE RAW, and it is interesting that their duality is being explored in this manner.

However, what is even more interesting is that Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss did not interfere in the WWE RAW main event match to determine the new WWE Champion, meaning that they could be booked in a very exciting Survivor Series 2020 segment.

Look, there is no way that you leave your two hottest stars out of a Big 4 pay-per-view, and so it is very likely indeed that when The Undertaker comes to the ring to call it quits at Survivor Series, The Fiend and Alexa Bliss will show up and set up a program for WrestleMania 37.

Is there any other explanation for The Fiend and Alexa Bliss being left out of the WWE RAW Survivor Series teams, even though Adam Pearce needed someone to take Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke's spot?
