Let's just say that a lot of fans were very unhappy with how WWE Hell in a Cell played out this weekend. But the good news is that WWE is a wheel that keeps spinning and every Monday night is a new start.
WWE needs a few big surprises to ensure that fans remain loyal to them, especially when there's competition in town. I mean the fans in attendance made it pretty clear as they screamed the name of the promotion after the main event match.
Here are 5 surprises that we could potentially see on this week's show. Be sure to let me know your thoughts, feelings, and opinions about the surprises that I've suggested and also let me know what you think WWE needs to do to retain viewer interest?
So without wasting any more of your valuable time, here are 5 genuine surprises that could happen on this week's show...
#5 Braun Strowman becomes the WWE United States Champion
I know that Tyson Fury is scheduled to be a part of RAW, but based on the match that featured AJ Styles and Braun Strowman could we see a United States Championship match featuring the two men? Styles is a great representative for the title and is also probably the best wrestler in the whole world, but honestly speaking, his reign hasn't exactly set the world on fire.
Braun Strowman becoming the United States Champion would be a big shock and it would also set up a nice title match with Tyson Fury presumably at Crown Jewel this year. With a title on the line, the match would become bigger than it is and get a lot more people invested in the outcome. It would also help Strowman regain the momentum he lost by losing to Rollins recently.
#4 First Blood match announced between Seth Rollins and The Fiend
You don't have to be an industry insider to know that a lot of people were displeased with how the whole Fiend vs. Rollins match played out. I mean we all heard the 'AEW' chants when the match ended the way it did. Honestly, after what was a great build and a great match until the finish, it was a real disappointment.
But was the HIAC match the premise for something bigger? We all saw that the match ended with Rollins bleeding after The Fiend applied the mandible claw. We could definitely see a First Blood match being announced for Survivor Series between Seth Rollins and The Fiend.
We know that WWE wants to head down an edgier path now and a First Blood match could be the perfect way to bring back violence, albeit in a controlled manner, to the roster.
#3 Eric Bischoff confronts Paul Heyman
The draft is only days away and the question is who the two opposing sides will be. We know that Paul Heyman is the man who's in charge of RAW backstage and Eric Bischoff has the distinction for SmackDown on FOX.
Could we see the men appear as on-screen authority figures, to set the stage for the upcoming draft in a big way? Remember that the two men have years of history right from the 90s when WCW and ECW were at war, so there's a storyline for them to play of too!
Shane McMahon is not allowed to be an on-screen figure in WWE anymore, meaning that the stage is set for both Heyman and Bischoff to assume their roles as General Managers of their respective brands.
Knowing how good both men are as performers, one can rest assured that they'll do a commendable job!
#2 Liv Morgan returns to confront The Man
Liv Morgan's return has been discussed and debated for a really long time now, and it is yet unclear in what avatar she will make a comeback. All we know for now is that she'll no longer be a part of the Riott Squad. The split has not helped any of the three women yet, because Ruby Riott is injured while Sarah Logan has been relegated to mere enhancement talent status.
Morgan was always going to be the breakout star of the group because of the way she looks and because of how quickly she picked up the in-ring aspect. Could WWE push her straight to the top with a mini-feud against Becky Lynch? Lynch could really elevate Morgan by working with her, considering that she's run through the whole division.
Lynch is probably going to remain Champion all the way until WrestleMania. Morgan could be a good opponent she defeats along the way.
#1 Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross end their tag-team unit
Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross suffered an embarrassing loss at the hands of the Kabuki Warriors at Hell in a Cell. Could this potentially cause Little Miss Bliss to snap and take out her ire on her teammate - Nikki Cross?
There's every chance that the two women will be split up in the upcoming draft and WWE may just sow the seeds for an Alexa Bliss heel turn to have her go up against a babyface like Becky Lynch once the brand split happens. Nikki Cross could go up against someone like Charlotte Flair, who will slip back into her heel role with ease, as Cross becomes a top babyface.
These two women could even square off at a stage like WrestleMania then. But this will be a nice surprise, for this episode of RAW.
It was a great run while it lasted!
