WWE RAW last week, truth be told, was an underwhelming affair. Even though SummerSlam is only days away, there isn't the same kind of buzz there is otherwise!

If you consider the facts, this is alarming! For the first time in years, WWE RAW, SmackDown, and indeed the entire empire will face competition from a billionaire wrestling fan, who, according to rumors, is likely to sign the two biggest free agents in wrestling.

All we need to make WWE RAW as enjoyable as the version that beat Monday Nitro are genuine twists and turns. Maybe one or more of these surprises will make SummerSlam seem like a big deal.

As always, you're welcome to share your thoughts and views in the comments section below. Can you list some surprises of your own? What would you personally like to see on WWE RAW?


#5 Randy Orton returns to WWE RAW, to help Riddle out

AJ Styles and Omos have let it be known that nobody is taking the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships away from them. Riddle, in particular, has found himself unmatched against the onslaught of the two dominant tag team Champions. Could a certain Viper show up on this week's show, to even the odds?

It may finally be time for RK-Bro to capture the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships, wrestling them away from the heels. They can mix it up with the likes of Mace and T-Bar and maybe even babyface tag teams such as Ali and Mansoor at some point soon!

The only reason this WWE RAW surprise ranks so very low on the list is that one can easily see it coming! But then again, sometimes (especially in these circumstances), it's the obvious that works best!

#4 Shayna Baszler turns into WWE RAW's top female babyface

We did see a hint of dissension on WWE RAW last week between Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. Fans have come to love them as a dominant tag team unit, but there may be more equity in having them go their separate ways.

Shayna Baszler is a powerhouse technician waiting to be unleashed on WWE RAW this week. Could she break away from Nia Jax, choke her out, and establish herself as a top babyface in the women's division?


#3 Gage Goldberg is in a tag team match against MVP and Bobby Lashley

Remember how former WWE RAW Tag Team Champion Nicholas didn't have to take a bump to win the title? Could Goldberg and his son Gage be placed in a similar sort of situation with Bobby Lashley and MVP?

Goldberg could spear MVP and carry the momentum all the way to SummerSlam 2021! It would create a feel-good moment on WWE RAW between father and son. We know WWE is all about these special moments!

#2 Alexa Bliss finds a friend from the WWE RAW women's roster

With the departure of WWE RAW Superstar Bray Wyatt, Alexa Bliss is the sole supernatural-themed character in the company. But with all her powers, she's still outmatched against Eva Marie and Doudrop. Can she find some help from within the current roster?

Asuka could make a valiant return to WWE RAW and be paired with Alexa Bliss in an entertaining tandem. Another option could be pairing Tamina Snuka up with Alexa Bliss until Natalya returns to action on WWE RAW once more.
