5 Surprises that could happen on WWE RAW this week- Brock Lesnar destroyed, NXT stars attack a current Champion

We have one show to go before Super ShowDown comes around, and it is going to be the final episode of WWE RAW in the month of February. This is going to be a truly critical show and it's bound to be loaded with surprises galore.

The SmackDown side of the Super ShowDown card does look pretty packed with The Fiend and Goldberg, but on the RAW side of things, it's not nearly as loaded, according to me. And this is why I think that the following surprises should happen.

Of course, the long term goal should be to build to WrestleMania and even beyond for the company. It's the most exciting time of the year and so a surprise or two or even five may be in the works.

As always, feel free to leave a comment and let me know which of these surprises you would ideally like to see, dear reader.

#5 McIntyre & Ricochet team up to destroy Lesnar

Before we begin proceedings, be sure to check out what Korey Gunz and Tom Colohue had to say about Drew McIntyre winning the Royal Rumble on our YouTube channel.

Ricochet is certainly at a disadvantage when he faces a natural athlete such as Brock Lesnar because of the size difference. Drew McIntyre is not nearly as mismatched, but even he doesn't have Brock Lesnar's real-world credentials.

But when the two men combine forces against a common foe, even someone like Brock Lesnar needs to watch out because he's going down. We could certainly see this happen on this week's episode of RAW ahead of Super ShowDown.

It is especially likely because Brock Lesnar is, most probably, going to win the match against Ricochet, and the 'loser' always gets the advantage on the go-home show, in WWE.

#4 Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke attack Becky Lynch

When you're the top dog (or the Big Dog) in the industry, everyone wants a piece of you. This is a video of Kay Lee Ray saying that she would like a shot at The Man.

But, as I write this, The Man certainly has her hands full at this time because Shayna Baszler took a big bite of her not long ago, and the two women are pretty much guaranteed to tussle on this week's RAW. One can rest assured that you may get the better of the RAW Women's Champion once, but Becky Lynch will be prepared for you the second time around.

The question is whether Becky Lynch will be prepared for Marina Shafir and Jessamyn Duke, the two other Horsewomen who have always been steadfast friends of Shayna Baszler and even Ronda Rousey. Becky Lynch can do a lot of things but if she's the victim of a three on one assault this week, I seriously wonder if she'll come out on top in the fracas.

#3 Edge returns to confront Randy Orton

Randy Orton pretty much destroyed Matt Hardy (or should I say broke him, in line with his gimmick) during RAW last week in a segment that many found difficult to watch. And from the advertisements that have been posted thus far, it seems clear as day that Randy Orton may not be done and will be looking to inflict the same kind of punishment on another victim.

So whether that victim is Ricochet or even someone like Humberto Carrillo, someone needs to come in to make the save, I guess. And who better than Edge, the man Randy Orton is almost certain to take on at WrestleMania.

The crowd is certain to lose its collective mind if Edge makes a return and spears Randy Orton. Maybe it leads to an Elimination Chamber appearance, but I have a feeling that if Edge does appear, the two men will not clash until WrestleMania 36.

Be sure to check out the video I've linked on top, with Tom Colohue and Korey Gunz discussing Matt Hardy's status in WWE.

#2 SmackDown Superstars suddenly show up on RAW

Remember the time when Paige introduced the Kabuki Warriors and in due time, these two warriors went on to capture the Women's Tag Team Gold? It just seems like, with Paige out of the picture, the women have lost all of their steam and then some. The Women's Tag Team Championship picture seems like an afterthought at this point in time.

I mean you have a talented young man like Alexa Bliss only hosting a talk show to commemorate The Bella Twins instead of being knee-deep in a storyline. This is why I wouldn't be surprised if her and Nikki Cross were to show up on RAW and make a challenge to The Kabuki Warriors.

It is very clear indeed that Alexa Bliss does not belong in the SmackDown Women's Championship picture as we head towards WrestleMania, so this is probably the way to go.

Do check out the video of Paige talking to Gary Cassidy linked on top, discussing her stint as the manager of the Kabuki Warriors.

#1 The Undertaker plays mind games with AJ Styles

The rumor that is doing the rounds right now is that AJ Styles and The Undertaker will take each other on at WrestleMania. This is because many have described AJ Styles as the Shawn Michaels of this generation and WWE hopes to recreate the magic that was Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker one more time.

We've already seen just how cocky AJ Styles has become of late, with him challenging Shawn Michaels' claim of being Mr. WrestleMania. However, Shawn Michaels is retired for good, but The Undertaker is not and I wonder if we'll see the first sign of the match to come this week on RAW.

All that needs to happen is for AJ Styles to be cutting a promo in the middle of the ring when the lights go out and the gong hits. The message will be delivered loud and clear and a match would have been made for WrestleMania 36.

Check out Gary Cassidy's interview with Kurt Angle where the WWE Hall of Famer waxes eloquent about AJ Styles.
