5 Surprises That Could Happen on the RAW before Money in the Bank

The Verizon Arena in Little Rock, Arkansas will be home to the final episode of RAW before Money in the Bank comes our way. In light of low ratings and poor viewership, WWE needs to amp up its game big time. What better way to achieve this than with a packed show full of surprises. I will suggest 5 ways this can be achieved.

Be sure to leave a comment. Let me know which of these surprises you'd like to see on the show. Feel free to suggest some of your own.

I think we can all agree as WWE fans that the product could do with a big time shake-up. With viewership declining like it is, WWE must look back at its glory days and wonder exactly what's going wrong.

While that's another topic for another day, here are 5 surprises for tonight's RAW.

#5 Constable Corbin books himself in Money in the Bank

Could Baron Corbin change the topography of WWE for good?

Everyone's been wondering why Baron Corbin was made Constable! The idea is simple, to be the antagonist who pulls Kurt Angle's strings and sets him on edge. This could even lead to a match between the two men down the line. Every single stipulation that he makes could create major chaos.

Corbin could suspend Braun Strowman for laying down a beat down upon his opponent. Who would take his place instead? Why...the man in power himself, Constable Corbin.

Everyone hates a man in power who abuses his authority and WWE has a great chance to book Corbin in that role with the Constable character. This is a storyline that could play out over many weeks with Angle losing his cool and finally snapping, bringing back the Angle of old!

#4 Special stipulation for Reigns vs. Mahal MITB match?

How many times can we see these two men take each other on?

Roman Reigns and Jinder Mahal are supposed to square off at Money in the Bank. And yet, when Mahal challenged Reigns to a match on RAW, he accepted. That makes me wonder, why would you have the same match...both on RAW and at the pay-per-view? Could the pay-per-view match have a very special stipulation attached?

I can totally imagine the match between the two men to be a 'Chairs' match. While that match may be a more apt contest for the upcoming Extreme Rules pay-per-view, it would provide an added dimension to Reigns vs. Mahal. There's no other earthly explanation for the two men squaring off twice, less than 7 days removed.

As for the match on RAW, there's a big possibility that there will be interference from Mahal's trusted Singh brother leading to a bust. Expect there to be a no contest, this week.

#3 Natalya pulls out of Money in the Bank?

Could we see a 7-woman match instead of 8?

It was very clear that Alexa Bliss feigned an injury last week so as to not compete. As for Natalya, at least in storyline, her injury did seem quite genuine. Could this result in her not competing at Money in the Bank? Could this also lead to Ronda Rousey losing her cool when she squares off with Nia Jax?

There's been very little heat for the match between Rousey and Jax as there's been no storyline for fans to sink their teeth into. Having Natalya, Rousey's best friend injured, could be a very special touch.

#2 Stephanie McMahon zings CM Punk

CM Punk and WWE have been at odds for long now. The company never misses an opportunity to throw shade at him. In light of his latest loss in UFC, could we see yet another remark made by WWE, making fun of Punk? I don't even think this qualifies as a surprise.

In fact, I would say that this is a very likely possibility. Whether it is Stephanie McMahon or Kurt Angle (speaking on behalf of the company during a scripted promo), I'm sure someone will allude to his embarrassing loss at UFC 225 during RAW. I've linked Stephanie McMahon's last burn here just to show how brutal WWE can be!

#1 Double turn?

Could Sami Zayn and Bobby Lashley be part of a double turn?

Sami Zayn vs. Bobby Lashley has been the worst feud of the year by far. It is clear that the crowd wants to cheer for Zayn. It is abundantly clear that Lashley will do better as a heel. As has been proved time and again, WWE creative refuses to read the signs at all.

Could Zayn become the babyface right before Money in the Bank? This may make the feud exciting. After all, the crowd has been wanting to root for the 'Underdog from the Underground' for a while now.

As for Lashley, he needs to grimace and not smile anymore. He is an MMA fighter and needs to look the part, I believe.

How else do we get the Lashley vs. Lesnar dream match down the line?
