With just one week away from this year's Money in the Bank PPV, WWE gave us the go-home RAW show for the PPV from London, England. After facing a lot of criticism for poor bookings and the non-stop low ratings, WWE delivered a pretty solid episode of Monday Night RAW from the United Kingdom.
The show was taped a few hours before airing on TV due to it being in the UK. A lot of major segments took place, and it did feel like WWE tried a lot to make it an impactful episode of RAW. Throughout the show, WWE told us a lot of secrets which I'll try to cover in this article.
So without further ado, let's take a look at the 5 biggest things WWE secretly told us on RAW this week. Feel free to share your thoughts and opinions about last night's RAW in the comments section below.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 There is something very huge planned for Bray Wyatt
Bray Wyatt has constantly been the best part of the show ever since he debuted his new "Firefly Funhouse" gimmick a few weeks ago. Week after week, he has been delivering strong deep messages to the WWE Universe in a seemingly friendly manner.
The whole kid-friendly yet disturbing gimmick has been amazing so far. We also got introduced to some new characters as part of Bray's Funhouse like Mercy the Buzzard, Abby the Witch, and poor Ramblin' Rabbit who got murdered by Mercy last week on RAW.
After creating a lot of hype about this week's episode of Firefly Funhouse, we finally got to see what Bray wanted to show us. This week's segment of Firefly Funhouse was easily the scariest and most disturbing one as Bray revealed what seems to be his new in-ring character, a demonic entity, which he proclaims to have control over.
Whether or not he does have control over this new demon of his, this whole booking sure feels like WWE has some huge plans for this new gimmick of Wyatt, and maybe finally he'll be used to his full potential.
I'm very excited to see where this is all going, and how WWE plans to have Bray's in-ring debut with this new psychic character. Who do you think could be his first opponent on the main roster?
#4 Sami Zayn might be the underdog to become Mr. Money in the Bank
The biggest shock of the night was undoubtedly Sami Zayn replacing 'the Monster Among Men' Braun Strowman in the Money in the Bank ladder match this Sunday.
Even though it was with the help of Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre, a win against the former Mr. Money in the Bank is huge for Sami and could just mean that WWE has some huge plans for him.
In one of my articles, I boldly predicted Sami Zayn being this year's Mr. Money in the Bank, and with his gigantic win over Strowman, he certainly is the underdog who could shock us all this Sunday.
#3 A new Tag Team in the Women's division
It has not been long since the introduction of the women's tag team division, but the titles already seem way less important than the other ones.
Part of this is due to the current champions, The IIconics. Their booking ever since winning the titles at WrestleMania 35 has been disappointing and hence we as fans are unable to take the division seriously.
This week on RAW we saw an unlikely alliance, with Nikki Cross siding with Alexa Bliss. I don't really see Bliss winning the MITB contract again this year, but this new alliance could just prove to be vital for the women's tag division.
#2 Roman Reigns will face Shane McMahon soon
Ever since moving to SmackDown, Roman Reigns has been clearly at odds against the Authority. He punched the Chairman, Vince McMahon, on his first night on the blue brand, and has been feuding with his son, Shane McMahon, for the past couple of weeks.
Tonight on RAW, Shane again interfered in Miz and Roman's match against Bobby Lashley and Elias. With Shane's feud with The Miz seemingly ending at Money in the Bank with a Steel Cage match stipulation, expect him to face Reigns soon. Maybe as soon as the Saudi Arabia event next month.
#1 Becky Lynch will retain both her titles
WWE advertised a huge segment on RAW tonight, with Becky 2 Belts having a double contract signing with both of her opponents this Sunday, Charlotte and Lacey Evans.
She did seem very confident throughout the segment, but in the end, both challengers teamed up to take her out and close the segment holding both her titles high.
If you have been watching WWE for long, it is pretty clear that such a booking on the go-home show means Becky Lynch is going to overcome the odds and retain both her titles at MITB. I seriously don't see her losing on her first title defense as the Champ Champ.
