3 Biggest things WWE could be planning for Monday Night Raw (11 February, 2019)

Lynch got suspended last week on RAW

After delivering plenty of good television following the Royal Rumble PPV, the WWE Creative went backwards to deliver another underwhelming episode of Monday Night Raw, although the absence of their top superstars probably forced their hands.

The only newsworthy segment coming out of last week's episode was Becky Lynch getting suspended for not taking medical supervision for her injured knee. The infuriated Becky Lynch responded by attacking Stephanie McMahon and then went on to SmackDown Live to get in an altercation with Triple H.

This week's Raw comes from Grand Rapids, Michigan and is a go-home show for the Elimination Chamber PPV.

Since there is hardly any intrigue around the event, WWE may fire on all the cylinders to increase the hype.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

The biggest question arising before the show is, what will the WWE have in store for us for the go-home show?

Here are 3 big things WWE could be planning for Monday Night Raw.

#3 Becky Lynch gets in an altercation with Vince McMahon

If you haven't noticed it yet, WWE is clearly booking Becky Lynch as the female Stone Cold Steve Austin.

She has been coming off more like an Anti-Hero and Anti-Authority, as opposed to an out and out 'baby-face'.

When you combine her promo work as of late, as well as her tweets on social media, where she is going at WWE with fire more or less, it seems Becky is being prepped for the Anti-Authority role, and that seems to be something the fans are a hundred percent behind.

She already set an example on Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live last week by attacking Stephanie McMahon and her husband Triple H.

Since Lynch is invited on Raw once again, I for one wouldn't be surprised to see her get in Vince McMahon's face, and that would only help elevate her to the legendary status she seems to be heading.

#2 Seth Rollins retaliates against Brock Lesnar

The Architect, Seth Rollins, won the Royal Rumble match back in January by last eliminating Braun Strowman.

On the episode of Raw that followed the Royal Rumble PPV, Rollins chose Brock Lesnar as his WrestleMania opponent and got 6 F5's for his troubles.

While it may have made Rollins look weak but it also cemented him as someone who will not back down even after taking 5 F5's (It took 5 F5's to put Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman down in the past).

If the Creative wants to make it look like Seth Rollins can hang with Brock Lesnar on the biggest show of the year, they need to remind the fans that Rollins is The Man, and have him get his revenge on Brock Lesnar.

WWE can have him open the show and call out The Beast. Lesnar, of course, doesn't show up which leads to Rollins going backstage in search of The Beast Incarnate to finally get his hands on him.

#1 Finn Balor wins the Intercontinental Championship

Finn Balor failed to capture the Universal Title at the Royal Rumble. He went toe-to-toe with Brock Lesnar, but finally gave up to the Kimura Lock.

Last week, Balor challenged Bobby Lashley for the Intercontinental Championship, but the champion dodged him by sending his sidekick Lio Rush for the battle.

This week, Balor could get his opportunity by calling out Lashley once again. Having a title match on Raw makes more sense than booking the match for the Elimination Chamber PPV.

Balor should win the Championship in a hard fought battle that would cement him as one of the top guys in the company.

Lashley, of course, attacks him post-match which leads to Finn Balor threatening to bring The Demon at the Elimination Chamber event.

The return of the Demon will make for pretty good television, and also bring a much-needed hype for the PPV.
