People are divided in their opinion of whether Elimination Chamber 2020 was a good show or a show that failed to live up to the mark. But what one knows for sure is that the RAW that is going to follow will be absolutely packed.
There are no further interruptions on the road to WrestleMania 36 and WWE is certain to come out all guns blazing on this day (I see clearly). The return of Edge has already been announced and it's certain to be a very huge affair.
So, here are 5 surprises that you could potentially see on this week's episode of the Red brand. Be sure to leave a comment and let me know if you'd like to see them take place.
This is WWE's chance to prove to us that this year's WrestleMania is going to be must-watch in every sense. And hence, they have to ensure that the show is full of surprises.
#5 Seth Rollins confronts Edge
We all saw the shocking development on last week's show when Randy Orton delivered an RKO to Edge's wife Beth Phoenix in an electric segment. We know that Edge will return for retribution but the fact of the matter is that I doubt that he will get his hands on Randy Orton already. And therefore, WWE may stage some kind of a distraction with Seth Rollins.
A Messiah can guide someone who has lost his path and invite Edge to walk in the light once again. Seth Rollins can also eat and believably sell a spear without losing any momentum at all. This could be the first step towards a big feud down the line, because Edge won't have only one match for sure.
Randy Orton and Edge will not come to blows this week for sure, I believe.
#4 Aleister Black becomes the WWE United States Champion
Be sure to follow Sportskeeda's Twitter, ladies and gentlemen, because we have all the latest news, rumors, developments and opinions from the world of wrestling served hot and fresh on the channel. And if you do follow the platform, you may have seen the Tweet above, where Aleister Black managed to score the biggest pinfall victory of his career over the Phenomenal AJ Styles.
A victory can potentially take you to the next level and I just wonder if it means that Aleister Black could potentially feud with Andrade for the United States Championship. Zelina Vega is married to Aleister Black in real life and would relish a chance to work with her husband.
What WWE can do is have a title change on RAW to shift the whole landscape around and put the title on Aleister Black, out of the blue, to make WWE fans happy. Black is on a roll right now and if he was to win a Championship, the sky would be the limit for The Dutch Destroyer.
#3 Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir appear on RAW
If there was any doubt in your mind that Becky Lynch's WrestleMania opponent will be Shayna Baszler, well, they must have been cleared after her dominant performance inside the Elimination Chamber. Not one woman but Asuka seemed like she was a threat for Baszler but even Asuka was destroyed by the Queen of Spades.
But then, I don't think that Becky Lynch will get the upper hand on Shayna Baszler on this week's episode of RAW. You're probably wondering how WWE can stretch out this storyline over the next few weeks in a believable manner, leading up to the big upcoming match.
One of the ways to achieve the same may be to bring in Shayna Baszler's two best friends from NXT - Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke and even the odds in the favor of the heel while also sowing the seeds for a future confrontation between the Horsewomen of WWE and the Horsewomen of the world of MMA. This is a match many have wanted to see for a long time.
#2 Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross finally invade RAW
Not very long ago, Asuka was waging the fiercest wars against Becky Lynch for the Women's Tag Team Championship. And she was also a part of the Elimination Chamber, as has been discussed in this very article, putting on quite the showing against an unstoppable Shayna Baszler. It is because of these reasons that it is very easy to forget that she's also the women's Tag Team Champion with Kairi Sane.
This past week on SmackDown, we heard The Goddess Alexa Bliss issue a challenge to Asuka and Kairi Sane for them to show up on the Blue brand. But what if the two of them decide to grab the bull by the horns themselves and show up on RAW to take the fight to Asuka and Kairi Sane? It would certainly be a very interesting plot development and would remind the WWE Universe that, yes, these titles do exist.
This feud can be carried out on both RAW and SmackDown based on which show needs to fill time.
#1 The AoP confront the Street Profits
Yes, Seth Rollins and Murphy winning the RAW Tag Team Championships wasn't a really bad decision at all, and honestly, it elevated Murphy to a new level. But The Street Profits hold the Championships now, and in my personal opinion at least, the titles belong around the waists of real tag team units in WWE.
But the feud can still continue with Seth Rollins focusing on Kevin Owens, while The AoP now steps up to the plate to challenge the Champions for the RAW Tag Team Championships. This is a more natural fit anyway and will be a much better decision in my opinion than having Seth Rollins step into the tag team picture once again.
And the fact that The AoP haven't really done much since they were repackaged and made their return will also make them a special heel attraction in the eyes of many, especially considering the modern fan may tend to cheer for athletes who're as great in the ring as Murphy and Seth Rollins.
