3 Hints WWE dropped on the last RAW of the year (December 30, 2019)

With a couple of great segments on the final Raw of 2019, WWE finished off the year impeccably. While a Championship match got confirmed for Royal Rumble, the show also had some good matches.

There is no doubt that the match between Aleister Black and Buddy Murphy was the match of the night, as the Dutch Destroyer destroyed the former Cruiserweight Champion once again. Becky Lynch and Asuka confirmed the RAW Women's Championship match and Charlotte Flair also announced her entry to the Women's Royal Rumble match.

Randy Orton deceived the fans and AJ Styles with his kayfabe injury, delivering a vicious RKO to the latter. After getting attacked by AOP last week, Samoa Joe returned and assaulted AOP and Seth Rollins, with the help of Kevin Owens. A huge surprise took place at the wedding of Bobby Lashley and Lana. Not only Liv Morgan spoiled the party but also Rusev joined her.

Let's take a look at three things WWE hinted on RAW this week.

#3 Ricochet and Andrade will have a feud

Winning the US Championship from Rey Mysterio in a live show, Andrade is flying high, and he showed up on RAW this week. As Rey Mysterio wasn't present on the Red brand this week, the new champion took on a local competitor, but the match was cut short after interference from Ricochet.

The Resident Superhero prevented Andrade from delivering a Hammerlock DDT to the local competitor on the floor, as the same maneuver Humberto Carrillo a few weeks ago. Ricochet, however, immediately challenged Andrade for a non-title match. The two entertaining high-flyers produced a spectacular match, but Andrade was victorious, owing to an assist from Zelina Vega.

Even though Andrade will put the US Title on the line against Rey Mysterio, which will be a rematch, they are unlikely to have a serious feud, considering they already wrestled several times this year. It remains to be seen whether AOP or Zelina Vega influences the outcome of the match next week. WWE hinted that Ricochet will be next in the line for Andrade for the US Championship after Rey Mysterio receives his rematch.

#2 Drew McIntyre is set for a big push in the new year

With the arrival of a new year, WWE will be hoping to build some new stars, pushing underused Superstars in the main event scene. Having said that, Drew McIntyre could be one of those names to get a big push in the new year. Although the Scottish Psychopath is not involved in a major feud now, he is gradually building up momentum to reach the top of the ladder.

Last week, McIntyre announced that 2020 would be his year, decimating Zack Ryder. The Scottish Psychopath continued his domination this week when he faced both Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins, a former RAW Tag Team Champions, in a 2-on-1 Handicap match. McIntyre didn't toil hard to win the match, finishing the year on a high note.

Brock Lesnar will be in the house for the first RAW of the new year next week, and it will be interesting to see, who steps up to challenge the reigning WWE Champion. Given McIntyre's recent performances, WWE certainly has big plans for him, and hence, it will not be surprising if he comes out to challenge Lesnar for the WWE Championship match at Royal Rumble.

#1 Liv Morgan will team up with Rusev

The stakes were high for the final segment of the night because Lana was set to get married to Bobby Lashley. Like most on-screen marriages in WWE, it also had a bizarre ending, as a number of names crashed the wedding. While Rusev was an expected name to spoil the party, Liv Morgan was a shocking name to be unveiled, taking the storyline in a new direction.

First, an unknown man interfered in the segment, claiming to be Lana's first husband, and then an unknown woman showed up calling herself Bobby Lashley's first wife. If it wasn't enough, Liv Morgan, who has been delivering interesting promos with her new gimmick in recent weeks, came out alleging a love affair with Lana. Finally, Rusev popped out of the wedding cake and attacked Lashley.

Since Rusev and Liv Morgan stood tall to end the segment, they certainly hinted at a new alliance against Lana and Lashley. Morgan could return to in-ring action by teaming up with Rusev in a Mixed Tag Team match. Moreover, a romantic storyline between Rusev and Liv Morgan can't be ruled out.
