With Elimination Chamber just weeks away, WWE will be back on our screens with yet another star-studded edition of Monday Night Raw. Moda Center in Portland will be advancing the proceedings for the red brand tonight as many major segments and matches have been announced.

A major segment will see the return of Stephanie McMahon to Monday Night Raw, who has publicly invited the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble winner, Becky Lynch to WWE's flagship show.

Moreover, Finn Balor will go one-on-one against the 'All-Mighty' Bobby Lashley tonight which could possibly ascend the First-Ever Universal Champion to a future Intercontinental Championship opportunity.

Elias, on the other hand, will be seen locking horns with the legendary Jeff Jarrett who will be accompanied by Road Dogg after the Drifter attacked and smashed his guitar on both of them.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Apart from all the matches that are set to happen, it will be Kurt Angle's major announcement that could possibly change the complexion of his entire career tonight.

Considering that we are on the Road to WrestleMania 35, we will also get a closer at Dean Ambrose's next match and a possible confrontation with Triple H could very well be on the horizon.

So, without further ado, let's dive deep and predict the 5 biggest shockers WWE could be planning for Monday Night Raw.


#1 Kurt Angle fakes his retirement and turns heel by joining forces with Baron Corbin and Drew McIntyre

Will Kurt do the unthinkable tonight?
Will Kurt do the unthinkable tonight?

Kurt Angle is highly regarded as one of the biggest stars in the the world of professional wrestling and has earned a reputation of being the last of his kind.

It's a shame that the Olympic Gold Medalist has not been able to bring any substance to his role on Monday Night Raw, with the Hall of Famer losing all of his last singles matches on the red brand.

Considering that the WWE is advertising a major segment involving Kurt Angle tonight which could change the entire complexion of his legendary career. While there's no way the company wouldn't feature him at WrestleMania 35, there's a genuine possibility that Kurt Angle could fake his retirement speech and turn heel tonight.

The possibility of joining forces with Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin could be consequential in bringing more eyes on Braun Strowman as a force to be reckon with. Kurt Angle could work very well as a heel and Vince McMahon could certainly use him to elevate the stature of both Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin.

#2 EC3 makes his main roster debut and interrupts Finn Balor vs. Bobby Lashley

This could be huge
This could be huge

It's disappointing that the creative team have not yet presented their NXT call-ups as legitimate superstars on the main roster, and one of them struggling to get some TV time is EC3.

The NXT sensation possesses all the credentials to make it very big on the main roster. Therefore, debuting him tonight could bring an element of rejuvenation on the red brand.

With Finn Balor scheduled to tussle with Bobby Lashley tonight, EC3 could very well interrupt the two popular superstars and possibly the latter to lose the bout to the Extraordinary Man. Balor definitely needs a big win moving forward to Elimination Chamber and an interruption from EC3 could be a solid way to keep Lashley strong whilst igniting a feud between them.

This would definitely provide these three competitors a chance to fight for the Intercontinental Championship and keep EC3 in the limelight.

#3 Dean Ambrose promises to end Triple H's career before leaving WWE

Will the Lunatic run riot tonight?
Will the Lunatic run riot tonight?

One of the biggest news that is making waves all around the world of professional wrestling is the apparent exit of Dean Ambrose from WWE after his contract expires.

Since the Lunatic Fringe was about to address his intentions last week before being rudely interrupted by Nia Jax, the former WWE Champion could make things serious tonight on the red brand.

Despite the fact that Vince McMahon's billion dollar company has confirmed the news, many fans and publications in the wrestling community believe that this could all be a work.

The self-proclaimed 'Moral Compass' of the WWE shared an intense confrontation with Triple H and went ahead to taunt him for taking orders from his father-in law. Considering that we could possibly these two run riot at WrestleMania 35, the Lunatic could very well drop a bombshell tonight by promising to end Triple H's career before walking out.

This could certainly give a new edge and dimension to Ambrose's heel character and make him more compelling on the main roster.

#4 Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey join forces to destroy Stephanie McMahon

This would be shocking
This would be shocking

There's no denying that Stephanie McMahon has earned a reputation of being one of the biggest heels in the company's history and she deserves all the credit for it.

The Commissioner of Monday Night Raw is advertised to officially welcome Becky Lynch to the flagship show and judging by what transpired last week, it seems this segment will get the most loud reception.

Stephanie works brilliantly as a heel and she could play a significant role in propelling Becky Lynch to a different stratosphere in the women's division.

Since Ronda Rousey has always been featured as Stephanie's arch nemesis, there's a genuine possibility that the Rowdy One could get physical with the Boss tonight.

These type of segments usually end with Stephanie getting a taste of her own medicine and with Becky also gracing us with her presence tonight, Becky and Rousey could join forces to dismantle the Commissioner of Monday Night Raw.

#5 Vince McMahon tells Seth Rollins he can never beat Brock Lesnar

This can be the beginning
This can be the beginning

Seth Rollins confronted Brock Lesnar last week on Monday Night Raw and went straight at him, but eventually ended up being the Beast Incarnate's victim.

Since the WWE will update us about Seth Rollins' momentum heading in to the Grandest Stage of Them All, Vince McMahon's involvement in this feud could be a solid way to keep the limelight on the Universal Championship.

The fans definitely want to see the Kingslayer decimate the Mayor of Suplex City in New York, and Mr. McMahon could play a clinical role in promoting Rollins as an ultimate underdog.

The feud could possibly be one of the greatest in Monday Night Raw history and with Vince already stating that he doesn't believe in fairytales, he could very well write the same story for the Architect.

Focusing on a damaged yet determined Seth Rollins would give us the main event we are all craving for and Vince's involvement could prove consequential in catapulting Rollins to the top of the industry.
