The RAW after Payback should be interesting to say the least. It hinges on the fact that one of the top guys in the company would be back after a break, one of the top guys could (deservedly) rise in the ranks to the uppermost echelon of the company, all the while a relatively new shining star might get snuffed out after glimmering for a while now. My predictions :1) An awesome comeback promo from ‘The best in the world’ CM Punk which would immediately breathe life into the stale state of RAW programming off late. Would be hard for the WWE to keep him a heel, given how exciting he is and how badly he was missed. Plus RAW needs him as a babyface, in contention with Super-Cena. Would be great to see Punk handle the situation involving Paul Heyman’s newest client Curtis Axel.
2) Make-or-break storyline involving Daniel Bryan, where we are able to find out whether the WWE Universe will be able to push their ‘YES’ man to a place that the office has been saying ‘NO’ to, all this while. While it looked almost a certainty till last RAW, things don’t look that promising now that he has been placed in another odd-ball tag team with Orton.
3) ‘The Showoff’ after being out of action for all these weeks, may just return to strut his stuff and pick up a new rivalry over his coveted World HW title. Sheamus anyone? Naaaaahhh….
4) Mark Henry returns to announce the re-opening of ‘Hall Of Pain’. The question is, who is going there to give some of the elite guys company? Jericho (most likely, for storyline reasons to go away for a bit) seems an apt choice. I don’t mind Cena being put on the shelf that way either :P
5) The Shield continues to outshine and impress everyone who is watching…..need I say more? ?
