A lot of interesting things could happen on WWE RAW

WWE SummerSlam was a roaring success judging from comments online. While not a perfect show, there were enough good moments to warrant positive reviews from the WWE Universe.

The RAW that follows could potentially be a huge success as well. To keep the fire going, WWE will have to pull out a few rabbits from their hat, in the form of compelling surprises that can keep the viewers engaged.

While the next big event ie. Clash of Champions is some time away, WWE does not want to lose out in terms of television viewership especially with SmackDown on FOX coming ever so near.

So, these 5 surprises could certainly spice things up!


#5 Bray Wyatt takes Goldberg out

Even though The Fiend was the highlight of WWE SummerSlam, taking out Finn Balor in almost no time, he has also been terrorizing WWE legends thus far. He's even borrowed the mandible claw, a move that allows these legends to succumb to him without having to really take a bump in the process. Could the next victim of Bray Wyatt be the legend we know simply as Goldberg?

Goldberg had a great showing at SummerSlam where he recovered all of the heat that he had lost during the match against The Undertaker at WWE Super ShowDown. But now, where does Goldberg go from here, if he has to come back for yet another match? I have a feeling that The Fiend vs. Goldberg could be a compelling program.

Both men are special attractions and hence a feud between the two could be a very big deal, as they're both mythical in their own, unique way. On one hand you have an unstoppable monster and on the other, you have a terrorizing supernatural being.

#4 War Raiders challenge The OC

The War Raiders have been on a warpath of sorts over the last few weeks. The only issue is that their wars have been waged against enhancement talent or Superstars who're not really part of the roster. The results are predictable and the matches are usually when viewers take breaks to grab snacks.

I have a feeling that all of this is leading to a title shot for the two big men. Could they take on Gallows and Anderson who're on fire after teaming up with AJ Styles not long ago? It would be an interesting program for the two men who've been doing nothing really of significance.

There was no tag team match at SummerSlam and this is something that needs to be rectified for the division to be taken seriously once again. Erik and Ivar could certainly be great representatives for the division.

#3 Returning Superstar confronts Becky Lynch

Who does Becky Lynch feud with next, now that she's put Natalya away? I don't think WWE will want to go back to Charlotte vs. Becky again, despite the fact that the two women have great chemistry with one another.

I have a feeling that after Natalya, Becky Lynch's next opponent could potentially be someone like Sasha Banks. Banks is someone who has been missing from TV for months and honestly, with Bayley and Alexa Bliss otherwise engaged, is the only Superstar at the same level as Becky Lynch currently.

It could also be a feud where Sasha Banks potentially turns heel down the line. The two women are good workers and the level of competition in the ring would be quite high if they were to cross paths someday.

Imagine the reception of the crowd if Sasha Banks were to make her way down the ramp, to confront The Irish Lasskicker.

#2 Big name steps up to challenge Seth Rollins

Any territory in the history of professional wrestling would be lucky to have someone like Braun Strowman as a part of their roster. It was incredible indeed that he did not feature on the SummerSlam card in a match. I suppose he's just biding his time, waiting for his opportunity.

With Seth Rollins as Champion and Brock Lesnar in the rearview mirror, I think that Rollins should square off with Strowman next. Rollins proved that he can work well with men bigger than him and I'm sure he'll be able to have a great match against Strowman. Rollins also fares better as the underdog, as he proved so well.

Could this mean that Braun Strowman will go heel when he confronts Seth Rollins next? Or is it time for someone else like Sami Zayn and Andrade to step up to the Universal Championship picture?

#1 Carmella superkicks R-Truth to become the 24/7 Champion

Speaking of heel turns, if this one happens, it could potentially take the 24X7 Championship to the very next level. Could we potentially see someone like Carmella turn on R-Truth after gaining his confidence, to become the 24/7 Champion?

During SummerSlam, we saw them at the commentary desk pretending to be the announcers. They've been an entertaining pair thus far, but it may be time for R-Truth and Carmella to go their separate ways and even go back and forth with the title.

There could be a creative way to do this where R-Truth does not necessarily have to hit Carmella to pin her, which is a strict no-no, in WWE's current PG era. Carmella has been a sidekick for far too long and this could be her way of proving that she can be very entertaining indeed.
