5 Surprises that could happen on the RAW after Extreme Rules

Extreme Rules may not have been the grandest pay-per-view that WWE has put together in recent times, but it was quite entertaining. In this article, I shall speculate about the fallout of Extreme Rules. How will the action play out on WWE RAW? Let us look at a few possibilities.

As always, let me know your predictions for RAW. Also tell me if you noticed any seeds planted during Extreme Rules that could bloom in time for SummerSlam. I'm curious to know where you think certain storylines are heading.

Ultimately, this is a speculative article. There's a big chance that none of the possibilities that I have outlined in this piece may play out on RAW.

At the same time, there's always a possibility that they might and for the same reason, here are 5 surprises that you may be in store for!

#5 Brock Lesnar is confronted by Bobby Lashley

Is Bobby Lashley next in line for the Universal Championship?

It was never mentioned out loud, but it was always assumed that Reigns vs. Lashley was an unofficial match to determine the next challenger for the seldom seen Universal Championship. Bobby Lashley defeated Roman Reigns clean in a match that absolutely shocked the world. Does that make him the number 1 contender for Lesnar's prized possession?

Fans have wanted a clash between these two MMA titans for a while. Whether it was in the ring or the octagon, fans had yearned to see these two heavyweights slug it out. Now that Lashley is in the running for Number 1 contender, could we see him face to face with Brock Lesnar soon?

Imagine if a fight breaks out on RAW between these two bulls. It would get one and all excited about SummerSlam at once!

#4 The Universal Championship gets vacated by Kurt Angle

Could we see a brand new tournament announced to determine the next Universal Champion?

We haven't seen Brock Lesnar on RAW in a really long time now. In fact, if not for his appearance at UFC 226, some of us would perhaps have forgotten what he looks like. Kurt Angle issued an ultimatum at Extreme Rules and addressed the Brock Lesnar situation in a special backstage segment. He gave Lesnar two options.

Lesnar could either show up on RAW in the flesh. Or he could address the Universal Championship situation from the comfort of his own home. Failing to do both would mean that he would be stripped of the Universal Championship.

Let's assume for a moment that Brock Lesnar does not abide by either rule. Could we see Lesnar being stripped of the championship and WWE perhaps announcing a new tournament to crown the next Universal Champion? Could we have a full time champion at last?

#3 The Revival defeat the B Team

Nobody would see this swerve coming

I found it odd how easily The B Team defeated Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt. While the B Team may be an interesting act, I have a feeling that they are merely makeshift champions and little more. Last week, we saw The Revival watching the proceedings intently on television. Could they potentially change the landscape of RAW, in a matter of minutes?

I can totally imagine Dash and Dawson issuing a challenge and defeating the B Team. We could be in for a multi-team situation at SummerSlam.

#2 The return of Jason Jordan to RAW

Jordan's return could shake up the whole roster

Jason Jordan was on the verge of a big push before he unfortunately got injured. We have word that he's back on the road with WWE once again. It's only a matter of time before he rejoins the roster yet another time.

Jordan could be booked into so many storylines on RAW. He could potentially feud with Chad Gable, his former partner or renew the storyline with his pretend father, Kurt Angle. There are so many options for this gifted young man.

Could he return as early as the RAW after Extreme Rules? I would not be surprised if he does come back and gets involved in the storylines once again.

#1 Hulk Hogan made new General Manager?

Could Kurt Angle get fired for his incompetence?

Let's just analyse the proceedings for a minute, shall we? The top champion on RAW hasn't shown up in many months, devaluing the title. Braun Strowman threw another human being from the top of a cage onto an announce table. Ronda Rousey violated the terms of her suspension during Extreme Rules.

I can totally imagine Kurt Angle being fired by Stephanie McMahon for not being able to do his job. Could she bring in the man who put WWE on the map? The man who was recently reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame?

Yes, I'm talking about Hulk Hogan, of course, Hulkamaniacs! Could we see him return for a run as an Authority figure?
