The TLC stakes are high.

Welcome to this week's edition of RAW Preview. It was an interesting start on the RAW after Survivor Series, and the build to TLC had begun right away. The central story of last week's RAW was the qualifiers to determine Drew McIntyre's next opponent - and even the WWE Champion didn't appear himself.

Here's what you need to look forward to on RAW and how it could all play out:


#5. Sudden Death Triple Threat Match on RAW to determine Drew McIntyre's WWE title challenger

It's all on the line.

The main event of RAW this week should be an exciting one. While the Triple Threat Match hasn't been announced as RAW's main event officially, it certainly feels that way, given that it's the biggest match on the show.

Last week, we had three matches to kick off a WWE title qualifier. The first saw Matt Riddle defeat Sheamus, while the second one saw Keith Lee defeat Bobby Lashley via disqualification. The main event saw AJ Styles defeat Randy Orton in a WrestleMania 35 rematch, but how we got there is a topic we'll get back to later.

It's resulted in the triple threat match between Keith Lee, Riddle, and AJ Styles, in what has been advertised as a Sudden Death match. The three men will go at it in an attempt to become Drew McIntyre's WWE Title opponent.

While it wasn't mentioned on RAW that the winner would get the WWE Title opportunity at TLC, the latest update on Braun Strowman's injury means that WWE can announce the winner as Drew McIntyre's TLC opponent.

While it should be an interesting match-up, AJ Styles will be the favorite to emerge victorious. He has yet to be in a proper feud with Drew McIntyre, and given his World Championship pedigree, he's the perfect opponent as well.

#4. A Moment of Bliss with Randy Orton in RAW's big segment

This should be an interesting segment, whether it's opening or closing RAW. Last week on RAW, Randy Orton faced AJ Styles in the main event. And it all seemed to be going his way until The Fiend Bray Wyatt appeared and distracted him, allowing The Phenomenal One to get the victory.

The rivalry is set to resume on RAW after three-and-a-half years, and while it took place on SmackDown last time, the entire dynamic of the feud will be different. It isn't the same Bray Wyatt that Randy Orton defeated at WrestleMania 33. With Alexa Bliss by Wyatt's side, how will things turn out for the 14-time World Champion Randy Orton on RAW?


#3. Will The Hurt Business get one back over The New Day?

The New Day are considered the greatest tag team of the modern era, so it's hardly a surprise that they've overcome most, if not all, of their adversaries. They've been tangled up with The Hurt Business ever since getting drafted to RAW. And although last week saw a dusty finish, they restarted the match and The New Day retained the tag team titles.

It's not known whether that's the end of their feud, but we wouldn't be surprised to see The Hurt Business continue to chase Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. It seems far from over.

#2. The unlikely Asuka-Lana alliance to take a new shape on RAW?

Lana was brimming with confidence on the RAW after Survivor Series - just a night after she emerged as the sole survivor for Team RAW in the Women's Elimination match. She would approach Asuka and mention in passing that she was keen to tangle with her for the RAW Women's Championship. But she seemed to indicate that she wanted that match to happen at a later point.

Asuka took her challenge literally and accepted, telling her to get to the ring as soon as possible. While we all know how the RAW Women's Championship match would have turned out, Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler's presence saw the match end without a legitimate finish, and it turned into a tag team match where the titles weren't on the line.

The unlikely duo of Asuka and Lana emerged victorious, and we could see the seed planted for an unexpected tag team duo. Will the alliance continue this week on RAW?


#1. What is the aftermath of Braun Strowman's suspension on RAW?

The report mentioned in the first page was about Braun Strowman's status for RAW. Last week, he was suspended by authority Adam Pearce following an attack he made.

Strowman was instantly taken out of WWE Title contention. And while he was rumored to be Drew McIntyre's opponent for TLC, that may not be the case anymore.

It'll be interesting to see what update we get about Braun Strowman on RAW. Adam Pearce won't be in any rush to welcome The Monster Among Men back just yet.
