5 Surprises for RAW after Crown Jewel: Unexpected title change, Real-life feud to be used for Survivor Series match?

#1. Big E's next WWE title opponent on RAW

Big E ensured that Drew McIntyre left RAW without any gold when he defeated him at Crown Jewel to retain the WWE title. The fact that Big E was drafted to RAW (as the second overall pick and first for RAW) and McIntyre to SmackDown made the result of the match somewhat obvious.

That didn't stop the two men from having an incredible, physical title bout at Crown Jewel. McIntyre could do nothing but accept defeat and acknowledge Big E with respect while making his exit.

Drew McIntyre is a SmackDown star now, and Big E is set to start the new era of RAW with the WWE title intact. Who could be next for Big E? When talking about the Survivor Series perspective, Roman Reigns is the answer.

However, WWE could have a TV feud on RAW for Big E, particularly to make him look strong ahead of his expected clash against Roman Reigns. To do that, WWE may take the lazy but surprising option of Bobby Lashley.

Lashley has been on a skid since losing the WWE title. He has suffered numerous pinfall defeats, although the three men to do it were Big E, Roman Reigns, and Goldberg -- not midcarders by any means.

However, Bobby Lashley could once again be used to build Big E for Survivor Series 2021.
