Welcome to the top RAW Rumors that could have a major impact on the red brand. After weeks of poor showings, this week RAW gave the fans a great episode. The show had some good matches and forwarded multiple stories heading into the MITB pay-per-view.
Drew McIntyre qualified for the MITB ladder match, but even if he wins, will still not be allowed to cash in on Bobby Lashley. McIntyre pinning Riddle on RAW may result in some problems for The Original Bro, which we will take a look at in this article.
Plus, we will take a look at some interesting stories and rumors related to RAW superstars:
#5 Goldberg could be facing RAW Superstar Bobby Lashley at SummerSlam
Trending
Rumors are adrift that John Cena will return to WWE to face Universal Champion Roman Reigns at SummerSlam. However, there has been no concrete match planned for WWE champion Bobby Lashley as of now.
Lashley will face Kofi Kingston at MITB. However, it is unlikely that the program will spill over until SummerSlam. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter noted that while Brock Lesnar vs. Bobby Lashley is a match that fans want to see, it is unlikely to take place at SummerSlam. He said that The Fiend and Goldberg are 'on the bench' for a match against Lashley at SummerSlam.
"The Raw brand doesn’t have any challenger set up but they can always elevate Randy Orton, or really anyone if they so choose. Bray Wyatt and Bill Goldberg are always on the bench and the idea is an all-top hands-on deck show."
Goldberg was last seen in January when he faced Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble.
Goldberg would be the perfect opponent to put Lashley over at SummerSlam as the two behemoths are not only matched physically, but both having 'the spear' in their arsenals would add to the storyline build.

#4 Daniel Bryan to return on RAW
Speaking of possible opponents for RAW's WWE Champion Bobby Lashley for SummerSlam, another name that came up was that of former world champion Daniel Bryan.
Daniel Bryan was last seen on SmackDown on the first episode in May, where he lost the Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns. However, the match stipulated that if Bryan loses, he will have to leave SmackDown.
While Bryan left SmackDown on-screen, his current WWE contract had also run out and he decided not to renew. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter has stated that Daniel Bryan could also face Bobby Lashley at SummerSlam as he is likely to return to RAW.
"Bryan Danielson, if he does come back and it would likely be for Raw, also fits into the list."
#3 RAW Superstar Becky Lynch's return plans were cancelled
As noted, RAW superstar Becky Lynch is getting married to Seth Rollins. Becky Lynch has been absent from RAW since she took time off due to pregnancy last year. It was speculated that Lynch would return to WWE at WrestleMania 37, however, those plans were canceled by WWE for two reasons.
Dave Meltzer of WON noted that one reason for Becky Lynch's Wrestlemania return being dropped was that WWE did not want to rush her return in any way. The other reason was that the two parties had not negotiated a new contract.
"Lynch wasn’t used at WrestleMania as first talked about and teased by her because they were waiting for her to sign a new deal, which is now in effect and because they felt it was too early to debut her before she would be back wrestling."

#2 Lies were told to RAW Superstar Xavier Woods about Tyler Breeze
RAW Superstar Xavier Woods talked about one of his closest friends Tyler Breeze on his social media. Woods explained his bond with the recently released superstar and revealed that many people backstage did not want the two to be friends during their time at FCW.
Woods revealed that he was always told to stay away from Breeze and even lied to by people backstage just to create a rift between the two.
"Some coaches told me quite a few times to 'watch who I hang out with', 'distance yourself from that guy', 'why would you wanna tag with him? He’s not going to help your career'. Some even tried lying in an attempt to put us against each other,'' said Woods.
#1 Riddle to feud with RAW Superstar Randy Orton?
The dynamics between Riddle and Randy Orton on RAW are hard to understand. While the two men are certainly allies, Riddle is constantly out looking for The Viper's approval. Riddle replaced Randy Orton in the MITB qualifier match. However, The Original Bro failed to pick up the win.
The RAW superstar apologized to Randy Orton on Twitter. Last week on RAW, Orton wasn't very pleased when Riddle's well-intentioned interference cost him his match. Now, with Riddle failing to qualify on Orton's behalf, it looks like the rumored feud between RK-Bro might happen sooner rather than later.
