Entertainment can never be complete without a good helping of surprises, and that's exactly what we expect from the largest wrestling promotion in the world during every single show.

While WWE has become used to providing us with some really good surprises and shocking moments, it has faltered at times and given us some frustrating shocks too. With the conclusion of last week's Super ShowDown pay-per-view and only two weeks to Stomping Grounds, there's a lot the company must do in their buildup to the next event.

With the flagship show leading from the front amid shaky ratings, there are a few surprises we could see on this week's show of the red brand. In this article, we take a look at the three biggest surprises the company could have in store for us on Raw this week and what it could mean for the superstars going forward:


New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#3 A legend addresses their future

At Super ShowDown on Friday, a number of WWE legends took to the squared circle to show what they've still got for the WWE Universe.

While The Undertaker and Goldberg tried to deliver their best, it’s unfortunate that they might actually be remembered for the worst spots of the match. Triple H, on the other hand, put on a decent show against Randy Orton to prove that he's still got a lot left in him. Unfortunately for him though, The Viper managed to get the better of him while he was on the offense.

One of these legends could show up on the red brand this week to address the WWE Universe, giving them an update on what they plan to do in future. Will Taker, Goldberg or Triple H come up and announce they are done with wrestling?

Or will one of them come out to inform the WWE Universe they still have one, or more matches to come? Alternatively, could future legend Orton come out and lay down a challenge for someone on the red brand?

#2 The Major Brothers meet their challenger

Who will step up to Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins next?

Even though many believe The Revival is the company's best tag-team today, WWE has always turned a blind eye to some of their talent. On April 5, they announced that Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder would face The Revival at WrestleMania 35 for the Raw Tag Team Championships - where they managed to defeat them to win gold in the process.

This marked the end of Hawkins' 269-match losing streak, before they successfully defended their titles in a rematch the following night on Raw and once more at The Shield's Final Chapter where Aleister Black and Ricochet were also involved.

WWE now need to add value back to the titles and for that to happen, they need to make The Major Brothers defend their gold against a formidable team at Stomping Grounds. With a lack of heel tag teams on Raw, we could see someone like Rusev and Shinsuke Nakamura from SmackDown show up on the red brand - or the Authors of Pain return to challenge the champions for the titles.

#1 Lacey Evans costs Becky Lynch a match

Will Lacey Evans spoil The Man's mood once again?
Will Lacey Evans spoil The Man's mood once again?

Since the Royal Rumble, Becky Lynch has been on a roll and has lost only one match - held at Money in the Bank for her SmackDown Women’s Championship. The Man lost that match only due to the distraction caused by Lacey Evans, the woman who herself had just lost to Lynch minutes earlier.

With Evans getting another chance to challenge for the Raw Women's Championship at Stomping Grounds, WWE will want to heat things up even more between the pair. They could potentially do this by booking Lynch in a non-title match against a heel, such as Alicia Fox or Sarah Logan before Lacey costs her the match - either directly or through a disqualification.

Becky Lynch is a proud fighter and a loss will not work well with her, resulting in the storyline between the pair getting even tenser.
