Monday night RAW saw a new era begin last week, with Roman Reigns as the new Universal Champion. The fallout from SummerSlam was quite interesting, with both new champions in Ronda Rousey and Reigns making a huge impact upon their debut.
Roman Reigns was quick to prove that he was a defending champion, calling out Finn Balor, who he rightfully pointed out had never gotten a Universal title shot after losing it. Two years overdue, Balor got his title shot but was ultimately unsuccessful after coming very close.
It was what happened after the match, however, that was the most talked about. While Strowman tried to cash in his Money In The Bank, Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins came out in Shield gear to save Reigns by ganging up on Strowman.
They saved Reigns for the week, but the question remains, how long can they save him?
Meanwhile, Elias seems to be drifting around while Constable Corbin was promoted to acting General Manager of RAW after Kurt Angle was sent on paid vacation. With everything heating up and the red brand building towards Hell In A Cell, here's what you need to look forward to for the coming RAW.
#5 Strowman demands Roman Reigns face-to-face
Last week, just as Braun Strowman was on the verge of cashing in the MITB contract, he was stopped by The Shield. With the odds stacked against him, Strowman demanded that Roman Reigns meet him alone in the ring.
Will Reigns comply, or will he once more have his backup to prevent Strowman from cashing in? Either way, Reigns' Universal title reign seems to be in jeopardy just as it begun!
#4 Constable Corbin gets a promotion
Last week, Stephanie McMahon sent Kurt Angle on a paid vacation amidst all the chaos happening on RAW. As a result of this, Constable Corbin was then promoted to acting RAW General Manager.
One must wonder how long Angle will be on the shelf. Recent rumours suggest that Angle's vacation is indeed just time for him to prepare for his in-ring return. Could this be slowly building up to a match between Team Corbin and Team Angle at Survivor Series?
#3 B-Team has some unfinished business
Despite failure to capture the tag team titles at SummerSlam, The Revival bounced back the next night on RAW, individually beating Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. This undoubtedly puts them right back in the mix for a title shot.
Will The B-Team manage to get lucky again and get one over The Revival or will the no-nonsense, old school tag team finally capture the gold?
#2 Intercontinental Championship fallout
Despite reuniting with The Shield, it by no means implies that Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre are done with Ambrose & Rollins. There's no doubt that Ziggler is going to invoke his rematch clause for the Intercontinental title soon, but when?
Also, with Dean Ambrose getting one over Dolph Ziggler, are we bound to see a clash between him and The Scottish Terminator Drew McIntyre? Things are going to get real interesting, and the two Shield members have a lot on their plate!
#1 Ronda is set to make the women's division "Rowdy"
With Ronda Rousey now atop the RAW Women's division, it's going to be interesting to see how things get Rowdy. With a huge target on her back, Ronda seems to be embracing the competition that awaits her as champion.
Alexa Bliss is eventually going to invoke her rematch clause, and the date could very well be at Hell In A Cell. But what will be the repercussions of her attacking Stephanie McMahon?
Perhaps the RAW commissioner could use a hired gun, someone quite close to Rousey, who happens to go by the name of Shayna Baszler.
One thing is for sure, things are going to get real interesting leading up to Hell In A Cell. Are you excited about RAW?
