WWE RAW Preview: Former tag-team champion returns, Ric Flair set to make big announcement (October 21st, 2019)

Tonight's episode of WWE RAW takes place from the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland. Not a lot has been announced for this show as of now. We know that Sin Cara will return tonight as he faces Andrade. First of the two big segments of the night involves Seth Rollins explaining why he burnt down the Firefly Fun House last week.

#4 Sin Cara returns to RAW

Sin Cara will face Andrade on RAW tonight

Former WWE NXT Tag-Team Champion Sin Cara has been off television for most of this year because of injury issues. We knew that Sin Cara was nearing full fitness and again and WWE have confirmed this by announcing that Sin Cara will be returning to the RAW ring tonight as he faces one of the newest members of the RAW roster – Andrade.

Andrade and Zelina Vega called out Sin Cara ahead of his return in a video posted on WWE’s Twitter. Here’s what Vega had to say:

“We just got the news that you are going to have a match against Sin Cara on Monday. Yes, again. I don’t understand, because I’m pretty sure we took care of him a long time ago. You know, when we first got to the main roster I thought we would take care of Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio because you are the face of the Latinos in the WWE. Just because they think they can rise from the grave, that’s not our problem.”

#3 Street Profits and a mystery partner challenge The OC

The OC attacked the Street Profits last week on RAW

Last week’s episode of RAW saw AJ Styles and The OC attack the Street Profits backstage. Later on in the show, Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins challenged the OC to match along with a third mystery partner of their choosing. The match never ended up taking place on last week’s show and will instead take place on tonight’s RAW. We have no word on who the Street Profits’ partner will be at the time of writing.

#2 Ric Flair reveals the last member of Team Flair

Team Hogan will face Team Flair at WWE Crown Jewel

Team Flair and Team Hogan are set to do battle at WWE Crown Jewel later this month. All 5 members of team Hogan have already been revealed while Team Flair has only announced 4 of their members.

Team Hogan includes Roman Reigns, Rusev, Ricochet, Chad Gable and Ali. The 4 announced members of Team Flair as of now are Randy Orton, Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley, and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Ric Flair is all set to reveal the final member of his team tonight on RAW.

#1 Seth Rollins addresses his actions last week on RAW

Seth Rollins

Last week’s WWE RAW ended with Seth Rollins burning down the Firefly Fun House. Even though Rollins was supposed to be the babyface in this situation, fans didn’t take kindly to what he did and booed him vociferously. Rollins later faced Bray Wyatt in a dark match after RAW, which ended in DQ, and the fans in attendance continued booing the WWE Universal Champion. All this follows the controversial ended to WWE Hell In A Cell earlier this match which saw the main event ending in a DQ despite the match being inside the cell structure.

WWE have already announced that Seth Rollins will be on RAW tonight to explain his actions. It would be great if WWE did a double turn here but according to recent rumors, WWE are planning to continue pushing Rollins as a babyface.

It will be interesting to see what kind of fan react Rollins gets tonight when he explains why he destroyed one of the sets of one of the most popular segments on RAW in recent months.
