#5 Keith 'Bearcat' Lee officially joins The Hurt Business and goes after the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions

Did you catch a moment between Shelton Benjamin and Keith 'Bearcat' Lee on WWE RAW last week?

It was almost as if Lee was being considered as a recruit into The Hurt Business? And why not? He has all the credentials to be the muscle of the group. Bobby Lashley could be the star, Cedric Alexander the high-flier, Benjamin the seasoned veteran, and of course, Lee, the brawn!

Could Lee and Lashley go after the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships next? Riddle and Randy Orton need some competition going forward after they pretty much took the entire tag team division to the cleaners on last week's show.

These are four top stars and let's face it, such a contest will be hard to call.

Is there any other WWE RAW Tag Team that looks like it could potentially dethrone RK-Bro? This author doesn't think so but if you feel otherwise, do let us know in the comments.

#4 Finn Balor, exasperated after his many losses, turns heel

We know that Finn Balor came up short on WWE RAW last week but that's not his only major loss recently. He lost to Roman Reigns as The Demon and then came up short against Xavier Woods in the King of the Ring finals as well.

Annoyed at coming up short time and again, could we see Balor turn heel on this week's show? He would come to the realization that the only way to win big is to twist and turn the rules to suit his own needs!

#3 Gable Steveson makes his WWE RAW debut

It's time for new players to enter the fray on WWE RAW. Could the Olympian Gable Steveson show up to the dance on this week's show and maybe take a seasoned veteran to the limit, like say Chad Gable?

This Gable vs. Gable feud could really shine the spotlight on Steveson's skills and entice Chad Gable to stay in the company for the long haul. Both men will benefit immensely.

#2 Queen Zelina and Carmella form a tag team on WWE RAW this week

Could Carmella and Queen Zelina reunite on WWE RAW this week? Super Brutality will need some good opponents going forward, and there's literally none better than Carmella and Queen Zelina for this spot.

Both have momentum galore from picking up big wins. If they reunite on the Red brand and face the Women's Tag Team Champions, the result could be very interesting indeed.

#1 T-Bar goes back to his NXT name

Based on the events on WWE RAW last week, it's pretty clear that T-Bar has entered the United States Championship fray. Now that Mace is on the other brand, and RETRIBUTION is no more, it doesn't make sense for T-Bar to keep his name anymore.

Could he go back to Dominik Dijakovic on this week's show? The big man could reinvent himself through a series of exciting contests on Monday Night RAW. A new season means a fresh start and we could see him go back to being the machine that he was during his NXT run.
