AEW took the wrestling world by storm, and the anticipation was sky-high for RAW. A large number of fans expected a good episode of the red brand but it didn't meet the expectations of the fans. The last edition of the red brand was tedious, with some long segments and substandard matches.
Brock Lesnar, who is the holder of Money in the Bank briefcase, was certainly the primary attraction of last week. The Beast changed the briefcase into a boombox and he was dancing in the squared circle. Seth Rollins and Sami Zayn collided to close the show, while the latter stunned everyone by mentioning AEW during the Electric Chair segment.
Becky Lynch teamed up with Nikki Cross to beat the IIconics. Richochet and Cesaro offered an awe-inspiring bout last week where the former pinned the latter. Moreover, Baron Corbin became the number one contender to face Universal Champion Seth Rollins.
The upcoming RAW will be held at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas. The Undertaker will grace the ring before facing Goldberg at WWE Super ShowDown. On the other hand, Paul Heyman announced that his client would cash in the Money in the Bank contract on Seth Rollins. Since it is the last RAW before Super ShowDown, we might witness some surprises.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Here we discuss three shockers WWE could be planning on RAW this week (3 June 2019).
#3 Bray Wyatt could call out Aleister Black
Bray Wyatt has been one of the primary attractions of the red brand in the last few weeks. Wyatt returned to the TV with a new gimmick. Earlier, Wyatt appeared as a good guy which was completely different from his old character. However, Wyatt revealed his dark side a couple was ago which was certainly frightening. Judging by the revelation of the dark part, the former WWE Champion might have a dual personality.
Bray Wyatt has been doing Firefly House segments for weeks. The segments are certainly interesting and we are slowly getting to know the new character of Bray Wyatt. Nevertheless, the momentum could get derailed by overdoing it and the fans might feel the segments are tedious. Following some exciting Firefly House segments for weeks, Bray Wyatt could decide to make his in-ring return soon.
Several Superstars could become the next opponents of the former WWE Champion. Aleister Black, who has also a dark persona, could become an ideal opponent for the new Bray Wyatt. Moreover, Black has been also delivering impressive backstage promos every week and he is searching for a new rival. It will not be surprising if Bray Wyatt calls out the Dutch Destroyer this week.
#2 Baron Corbin could be ruled out from Universal Title match after an attack from AJ Styles
A new rivalry is gradually developing between AJ Styles and Baron Corbin. The Phenomenal One was attacked by Corbin last week and the former WWE Champion is not likely to sit back. Though Corbin became the number one contender for Universal Championship last week, we might see a last-minute twist in this storyline.
Not many people are excited about a match between Seth Rollins and Baron Corbin for the most coveted prize of the red brand. Styles, who challenged Rollins earlier at Money in the Bank, could play a pivotal role to remove Corbin from the title picture. Styles might take revenge of the attack by assaulting Corbin in the backstage area and a kayfabe injury could rule out Corbin from the Universal Title match at Super ShowDown.
In my humble opinion, Brock Lesnar is not likely to cash in the Money in the Bank contract next week despite the announcement of Paul Heyman. Lesnar could demand his WrestleMania rematch if Corbin gets removed from the Universal Title match next week. Considering Lesnar is scheduled to appear at Super ShowDown, a WrestleMania rematch is possible.
#1 Undertaker could destroy a mid-carder
One of the primary attractions of RAW will be the return of the Deadman. Undertaker's last appearance was on the RAW after WrestleMania when he interrupted Elias and dismantled the Drifter. Prior to the mega clash in Saudi Arabia, The Phenom will show up on the RAW to hype the feud.
Though the match was announced a few weeks ago, both Goldberg and Undertaker have been absent. However, the scenario will change this week when Undertaker will show up on RAW and Goldberg will make his SmackDown Live debut.
In the latest WWE NEWS, The Phenom will be aiming to send a strong message to the former Universal Champion after appearing on the red brand this week. Hence, Undertaker could cut an extraordinary promo and it will not be surprising if he destroys a Superstar from the lower mid-card. Considering Undertaker has not fought on RAW for a long time, a short match could excite the fans before Super ShowDown.
