Welcome to the RAW after Hell in a Cell preview. Hell in a Cell was a pay-per-view with mixed reviews. It marked the final pay-per-view of the WWE pandemic era, as fans will be back for Money in the Bank 2021.
The road to Money in the Bank 2021 starts on RAW tonight and it's going to be exciting to see how the build shapes up. While there hasn't been any announcement of qualifying matches as of this writing, they could start as soon as tonight. Here's what you need to look forward to on RAW:
#5. Drew McIntyre starts afresh on RAW
For Drew McIntyre, the RAW after Hell in a Cell will be a bitter one. For 16 months now, he has been involved in the WWE Championship picture on RAW. It all started with his Royal Rumble victory in early 2020, leading him to immediately declare Brock Lesnar as his WrestleMania opponent.
Trending
While Drew McIntyre didn't get to have his main event in front of fans at WrestleMania, he stepped up and dethroned The Beast Incarnate, who hasn't appeared since.
Over the last 16 months, Drew McIntyre has held the WWE Championship for a little over 300 days. However, his pursuit of the WWE title was finally halted after his defeat to Bobby Lashley at Hell in a Cell.
The match stipulated that if Drew McIntyre lost, he wouldn't be allowed to compete for the WWE Championship as long as Bobby Lashley is on the throne. As a result, Drew McIntyre's 16-month-long journey in the WWE title picture is over.
It's probably the best thing that can happen to him since many fans felt that Drew McIntyre overstayed his welcome in the WWE title picture. Kofi Kingston even called him out on it, but ultimately fell short against the Scotsman on RAW.
It will be interesting to see what WWE has in store for Drew McIntyre. It wouldn't be surprising if he simply isn't present on the show.
#4. What's next for Alexa Bliss on RAW?
Alexa Bliss will enter RAW following a victory over Shayna Baszler. It was a short but bizarre match that saw Alexa Bliss hypnotize her former rival/best friend Nia Jax into slapping Reginald.
While it seemed like Alexa Bliss was taking control of Reginald on RAW, that appears to have changed. We're not sure why she's involved with the former Women's Tag Team Champions, but we expect that to continue on the RAW after Hell in a Cell.
Will Alexa Bliss cause the former champions to implode and potentially tease a break-up?
#3. The RAW Women's title picture intensifies with another addition
Charlotte Flair defeated Rhea Ripley at Hell in a Cell, but by disqualification. The finish was odd as it's unusual for a superstar to get disqualified for using the cover of the announcer's table.
It was an underwhelming finish to an otherwise great match. Another name has been in the RAW Women's Championship picture this past month - Nikki Cross. The former Women's Tag Team Champion has four "victories" over Rhea Ripley and Charlotte Flair on RAW and has been in the title conversation.
The RAW Women's title picture could light up with Nikki Cross' addition on the road to the Women's Money in the Bank match.
#2. The RAW Tag Team division heats up
Last week on RAW, WWE legend Jeff Hardy told Riddle to listen to whatever Randy Orton says. That advice seemed to work as RK-Bro defeated The New Day in a good tag team match.
The Viking Raiders seem ready for a RAW Tag Team title shot against AJ Styles & Omos, and it will be interesting to see how that plays out. AJ Styles hasn't done much as one-half of the RAW Tag Team Champions, but that isn't fully his fault.
The Tag Team division on RAW is set to heat up on the road to Money in the Bank 2021.
#1. Who is next for Bobby Lashley on RAW?
Bobby Lashley's maiden bout inside Hell in a Cell was a success. Thanks to sneaky tactics from MVP, he managed to defeat Drew McIntyre again, ending their rivalry on RAW.
It's time for a new challenge for The Almighty WWE Champion. Money in the Bank 2021 is most likely going to be his next title defense, so it will be interesting to see who steps up and challenges him on RAW.
