#5 AJ Styles defeats Damian Priest on WWE RAW to become the new United States Champion in the first big surprise from the show

AJ Styles has been on a tear ever since he split up from Omos and the first step towards becoming a top guy could happen this week. In an intense battle with Damian Priest, he could become the brand new United States Champion. The red brand needs a top babyface since Big E is back on SmackDown and AJ Styles is definitely the man for the job.

The Phenomenal One could go on to have a bunch of great matches on WWE RAW. He could get back into the mix with Kevin Owens or elevate a young man like Austin Theory who is clearly being given a big push.

Styles could go into the upcoming Elimination Chamber show with the United States Championship strapped around his waist.

Do you think Damian Priest has been a good Champion? Let us know in the comments below.

#4 Asuka makes her big WWE RAW return as the final name inside the Elimination Chamber

There's one spot left in the Women's Elimination Chamber match and it is definitely plausible that someone like Alexa Bliss could return for that role. However, that is the obvious pick.

If the idea is to have fans pop for a big surprise, Asuka's big comeback could certainly help in that regard. She's way more than a good hand in the ring and could really add star power to the big match in Saudi Arabia.

#3 Having lost the US Championship, Damian Priest turns heel

As dominant as Damian Priest has been booked over the past year, it just seems like there's something missing. That X-factor, that oomph that will get him over to the next level.

One of the best ways to overcome this issue would be to have him turn heel and run through his opponents by bending the rules. A long feud against someone like Finn Balor or even Riddle could help greatly in this regard.

#2 Dana Brooke falls for another WWE RAW star which makes Reggie pin her

Dana Brooke has been untouchable as the 24X7 Champion, because Reggie, her companion, has been protecting her from getting pinned. Last week, it did seem like they shared a tender moment on WWE RAW but it quickly broke up.

Considering it's Valentine's week, could someone from the roster like maybe Elias return to woo Brooke? Incensed and heartbroken, Reggie could pin her and reclaim the Championship that he's become synonymous with.

#1 Roman Reigns shows up to destroy Seth Rollins and continue THAT storyline

The Roman Reigns vs. Seth Rollins storyline is far from over, especially if you consider what went down at the Royal Rumble. With Brock Lesnar scheduled for this week, there's every chance that Roman Reigns could potentially show up on WWE RAW to take the fight to the big man.

And when he does, Seth Rollins could take the fight to him, because of their unfinished business. This could be a feud that we dive headfirst into, following WrestleMania.
