5 Biggest Shockers WWE Could Be Planning For Monday Night Raw

After delivering one of the most shocking episodes of Monday Night Raw in recent memory last week, WWE could be looking to bring the same energy tonight in Philadelphia.

The flagship show will be live from the Wells Fargo Center tonight, and with Batista and Roman Reigns both making significant statements last week, there's a genuine curiosity among the entire wrestling community on what might happen tonight.

Vince McMahon would definitely be looking to bring more emphasis on the Raw Women's Championship picture, with Charlotte's return on Monday Night Raw igniting more fuel and momentum for Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey.

Moreover, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins' recent altercations with Drew McIntyre, Elias, and Bobby Lashley to save The Lunatic Fringe have coerced the possibility of a Shield reunion with Dean Ambrose.

The company is also keeping tabs on Finn Balor's Intercontinental Championship run on Monday Night Raw and we are most likely to find out who The Extraordinary Irishman will lock horns with at Fastlane.

There's no denying that The Road to WrestleMania 35 is taking a good shape and with Batista likely to have a heated confrontation tonight, could we see Vince McMahon deliver another shocking episode of Monday Night Raw? Let's find out.

Here are the 5 biggest shockers WWE could be planning for Monday Night Raw.

---

#1 Batista tells Triple H to put his entire career on the line at WrestleMania 35

Will The Animal remain focused?

After pulling off one of the most shocking moments to close Monday Night Raw last week, Batista is now scheduled to return to the red brand and possibly get in a heated confrontation with Triple H.

Considering the fact that Batista's brutal attack on Ric Flair gravitated Triple H's attention, the two are bound to slug it out at The Grandest Stage of Them All this year.

It's understandable that The Animal has always endorsed a retirement match against The Cerebral Assassin; we could see the former World Heavyweight Champion challenge Hunter for a blockbuster showdown in New Jersey.

Moreover, the company could be looking to add an interesting stipulation to this riveting clash of titans, with The Animal telling WWE's CEO to put his entire legacy on the line.

#2 Dean Ambrose refuses to apologize to Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns and tells them to find a new Shield member

Will this farewell with The Big Dog?

While many fans have thoroughly advocated the idea of The Shield reuniting on Monday Night Raw, there's more to the story than meets the eye.

There's no possible confirmation on Dean Ambrose's contractual situation and with Vince McMahon pulling out all the stops to deliver a blockbuster PPV with Fastlane, something interesting could transpire tonight.

With the forces of Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, Baron Corbin, and Elias enacting the perfect antagonists, Braun Strowman's inclusion in the frame to assist Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins seem a more positive prospect, in terms of storytelling.

It would be disappointing if The Hounds of Justice reunite so early on the red brand. Since The Lunatic Fringe has been portrayed as a delusional Moral Compass on the flagship show, the creative team could bring some intrigue to his character tonight.

The former WWE Champion refusing to apologize to his brothers and coercing them to find a new member could delay the Shield reunion and would make things more interesting heading into Fastlane.

#3 Stephanie McMahon announces Becky Lynch Vs. Charlotte Flair for the Vacant Raw Women's Championship at Fastlane

Will The Boss make some serious alterations?

After Ronda Rousey relinquished the Raw Women's Championship last week due to the company failing to reinstate Becky Lynch, something shocking could happen tonight.

Considering how conniving of a heel Stephanie McMahon is and can be, she could trigger The Rowdy One tonight by announcing a blockbuster showdown between Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch at Fastlane.

The Commissioner of Monday Night Raw could take this opportunity to gravitate nuclear heat and suspend The Rowdy One instead of The Man.

With these two tussling it out for the vacant Raw Women's Championship at Fastlane, this would also give Ronda Rousey a genuine opportunity to show up at the event and assault Charlotte and Becky Lynch.

There's no denying that the company wants a Triple-threat bout at WrestleMania 35, and with Becky Lynch slugging it out with The Queen, this would definitely keep the spotlight on the women's division.

#4 Sami Zayn returns and confronts The Extraordinary Irishman for an Intercontinental Championship match

Will Sami return tonight?

With Vince McMahon delivering shockers every single week now, we could genuinely see another one coming this week in the form of Sami Zayn.

The former NXT Champion is rumored to return to the company anytime soon and with Finn Balor struggling to sensationalize his Intercontinental Championship run, an opponent like Zayn could do wonders for him.

If open challenges are anything to take into consideration here, then The Extraordinary Irishman's fighting spirit could coerce the Underdog from the Underground to make his shocking return to the squared circle.

A possible clash at Fastlane could be announced and with the former Universal Champion having no legitimate opponents at the moment, locking horns with Zayn could gravitate the spotlight back to the Intercontinental Championship.

Since Sami Zayn was sidelined when he was portraying a heel, will the former NXT Champion return to the squared circle as a white meat babyface?

#5 Ricochet tussles it out with Kurt Angle in a jaw-dropping encounter

Will Kurt survive the One and Only?

Kurt Angle's recent altercations with his opponents have ended on an underwhelming note. The Olympic Gold Medalist has struggled to find his footing on the red brand as an in-ring competitor.

There's no denying that Angle is one of the most compelling technical wrestlers on the planet, and with the former WWE Champion demanding a final match at WrestleMania 35, a tussle with Ricochet could be incredible tonight.

The One and Only's athletic prowess could match well with Angle and they could really keep the crowd hooked to the edge of their seats.

Since the intention was to bring these NXT sensations to bring a more versatile style of wrestling on the main roster and while they have been used in a more different role, a singles match with Kurt Angle tonight could genuinely prove to be a show stealer for Ricochet.
