Even though this week's edition of WWE RAW was the fallout episode after Hell in a Cell 2020, it was also the beginning of the build towards Survivor Series 2020. As is customary, Survivor Series 2020 will pit the Superstars of WWE RAW against those in SmackDown, for the ultimate pro wrestling showdown.

During the course of WWE RAW, we learned that AJ Styles (alongside his massive bodyguard), Sheamus, and Keith Lee would be a part of the Survivor Series team. But that also means that there are two potential positions left to be filled from the WWE RAW roster.

Here are our picks for the role, and you are welcome to chime in with your thoughts about the picks and what your dream team would be, in the section right below.

#5 WWE RAW star The Fiend

Many believe that the alliance between The Fiend and Alexa Bliss is the best thing happening on WWE RAW at the moment. While it was a shame that the WWE RAW star was left out of the proceedings at Hell in a Cell, an event that seemed custom-made for someone like him, it may be an entirely different scenario as far as Survivor Series is concerned. Bray Wyatt does not have a match at Survivor Series and either avatar of his could make the Survivor Series lineup very interesting indeed.

We really haven't seen the current incarnation of Bray Wyatt, the sociopathic version get along with anyone but Alexa Bliss and even that is a very twisted and demented relationship, to be fair.

The lord above (or below, in his case) only knows what the scenario will be when Bray Wyatt is asked to coexist with four equally eclectic Superstars from the WWE RAW roster at Survivor Series.

#4 Drew McIntyre who could also double up as the WWE RAW team captain

We know that Drew McIntyre and The Fiend closed out WWE RAW as they made their intentions known to WWE Champion Randy Orton. But at the same time, Randy Orton is slated to face Roman Reigns at WWE Survivor Series, so neither The Fiend nor Drew McIntyre really has a match at the upcoming pay-per-view.

If anyone can lead the WWE RAW brand as the captain to glory, it is Drew McIntyre because he has been the face of the company during the pandemic era. Plus, he is a man who wins a lot more matches than he loses and would be the obvious choice to lead this oddball collective from WWE RAW to victory.

All said and done, there may even be a situation where Drew McIntyre and The Fiend emerge as the two last men standing, if WWE RAW defeats SmackDown, leading to an interesting situation.

Conversely, one man may even get the other eliminated, again leading to some interesting situations.

#3 WWE RAW Superstar Ricochet could make a pretty impressive mark at Survivor Series

Ricochet is an ideal member for the men's WWE RAW Survivor Series team.

One reason why so many fans are critical of the WWE style of booking is that the roster is loaded with the most talented men and women, but because just everyone in the company is so good, a fair share often may get overlooked.

Ricochet can do things in the ring that nobody else can, not merely from the roster, but in the world of professional wrestling. And yet, because of the strength of the roster, even someone as talented as Ricochet may not necessarily have a spot.

And who knows? At Survivor Series 2020, when Ricochet is part of the WWE RAW team, there could be a miscue with someone like Sheamus that launches them into a feud that lasts for many months and helps both men.

And who wouldn't want to see Ricochet mix it up with someone like Rey Mysterio from SmackDown at Survivor Series, right?

#2 Could Dabba Kato make his return to WWE RAW in a big way?

WWE used to be known as the 'land of the giants' once upon a time, and while a majority of the WWE RAW roster is significantly smaller than the Superstars of the 80s, some giants still walk the land. Dabba Kato is one such individual, who used to be a big fixture on RAW Underground before the concept was nixed. But he could certainly make a monstrous return on next week's episode of WWE RAW, probably led by Shane McMahon.

Dabba Kato was drafted to WWE RAW during the 2020 Draft and judging from how prominently he was featured prior to the draft, the company probably has major plans for the big man.

It would be too easy for him to potentially clash with the big man who guards AJ Styles during the build to WWE Survivor Series, truth be told. And for the talented young man to work with someone like AJ Styles and probably beat him too, would just elevate him.

#1 Braun Strowman could join WWE RAW's team, but can he coexist with Keith Lee at Survivor Series?

We know that Keith Lee defeated Elias on WWE RAW this week to qualify for Survivor Series 2020, but that doesn't mean that he will necessarily get along with the rest of his team. Braun Strowman could be an invaluable addition to the squad with his strength and stamina and pulverize the opposition at Survivor Series 2020.

So, if the WWE RAW team implodes during the course of Survivor Series because the two forces of nature - Keith Lee and Braun Strowman cannot coexist on the same side, it could make for some dramatic moments. Yes, it would potentially lend the opposing team the upper hand when the match does indeed happen.

As for Braun Strowman joining the WWE RAW Survivor Series team, it is actually pretty much a no-brainer. Not only has he been portrayed as an unstoppable force in the roster, but also is a former WWE Universal Champion.
