5 things WWE subtly told us on RAW: Unpopular star to get huge push, Big twist in Wyatt-Rollins storyline? (September 16th, 2019)

WWE followed up Clash of Champions 2019 with one of, if not the best episode of RAW this year. There haven't even been months where we've seen Bray Wyatt appear four times - and on this episode of RAW alone, we have seen The Fiend appear on multiple occasions.

It was an absolutely solid episode of RAW from start to finish and it's rare to see them put on a show of such high quality. This is why we mentioned yesterday despite an underwhelming PPV, the direction is certainly going to be an interesting one.

There were some bizarre storylines and the women's rivalries only got hotter. Meanwhile, we saw the official conclusion of the King of the Ring tournament and the end of RAW saw The Fiend attack yet another WWE legend.

Here are a few things that WWE subtly told us on RAW

---

#5 The Wild Card rule is officially concluding

This should never have happened

A couple of weeks removed from WrestleMania 35, Vince McMahon had three top SmackDown stars featured and called them in, announcing the introduction of the Wild Card rule. There was instant skepticism and that has remained throughout.

Thankfully, WWE quietly confirmed on RAW that as of October 11th when the Draft starts, the Wild Card rule will officially be concluding. This is the best news possible because brand exclusivity clearly resulted in a much better product.

Moreover, Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff themselves will prefer having a set roster since they know exactly who they'll be working with and what they can do going forward. If you thought that the direction of things was getting interesting now, wait and see what happens as we head towards 2020.

Now that the brand split is officially returning, things will be getting even more exciting.

#4 Becky Lynch vs Sasha Banks is happening inside Hell in a Cell

Sasha Banks returns to hell after 3 years

It's surprising that in 2017 and 2018, WWE decided to skip having a Women's title match inside Hell in a Cell. Perhaps it's because they wanted the right match and didn't feel that they had it.

This time around, they have an intense Women's Championship rivalry between two very worthy superstars in Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks. Given that Becky Lynch lost by DQ, it was a no-brainer that their rivalry would only be continuing. However, it isn't just going to be any championship match.

For the first time in her career, The Man will be going to hell and she faces a more experienced competitor in The Boss Sasha Banks. This has the potential to be the match of the night and we couldn't be more excited about it! Hell in a Cell may turn out to be an even more stacked card.

Honestly, Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch can even main event the PPV and nobody would complain about it.

#3 Baron Corbin is finally finding his stride

Baron Corbin is the King

Even though the feel-good win for Chad Gable was what the fans wanted, the sentimental favorite of King of the Ring didn't really stand a chance. It was a great story that was told and Gable had a fantastic run leading up to the final.

Unfortunately for him, the one-foot size difference proved to be a little too much as Corbin hit him with The End of Days to cement his place as WWE's King of The Ring. All said and done, it wasn't that bad a decision and the match didn't go over as badly as expected.

For once, Chad Gable looked really good in defeat. Secondly, WWE has been historically known to have heels win the King of the Ring tournament. It's hard to blame them in this case because it's easy for heels to brag about it and show off the King's attire as a part of their character.

Babyfaces can't implement it into their characters as easily without coming across as brash or arrogant, so perhaps it simply is just a heel's tournament. Regardless, Baron Corbin has been finding his stride lately and don't be surprised if you see him get a big push.

#2 3 potential women's feuds at once

This could have ended badly for The Man

It should be said that WWE's women's division seems like it's on the verge of getting hot again. We had two really good women's feuds on RAW and SmackDown featuring all Four Horsewomen in the title picture.

That still seems to be the case, but we may have more than just one rivalry in the women's division on RAW. For one, Sasha Banks vs Becky Lynch is the primary feud. With Banks & Bayley's victory over the current Tag Team Champions in a non-title match, you would think that they will directly enter contention over the coming two weeks or so. That's a second rivalry right there.

The third happens to be a mid-card rivalry between Lacey Evans and Natalya, who have been talking trash on Twitter while Evans mocked Natalya and performed the Sharpshooter when beating Dana Brooke on RAW. WWE needs these secondary women's feuds and it's great that they're finally making an attempt to give screen-time to so many women at once and not just those holding and challenging for titles.

#1 There probably won't be much physical interaction between The Fiend and Seth Rollins

The Fiend is coming for the Universal Championship

We have literally just seen Seth Rollins and Bray Wyatt feuding for one episode and we can already safely say that this will be the best Universal Title rivalry, perhaps one of the best since its inception three years ago.

WWE only have two more episodes to build to it, but knowing that they had a limited time frame, they certainly utilized Wyatt/The Fiend to the best of his ability. As mentioned, there have been months where we haven't seen much of Wyatt and The Fiend and in this episode alone, we saw him four times altogether, with WWE not even overexposing him.

He attacked the returning Kane in the main event, adding to his list of legends. Kane did "hurt him" in the past, so it made perfect storyline sense. The best part, really, is the fact that The Fiend got close to Rollins but never attacked him.

This is going to be a purely psychological feud and the episode captured the genius of Wyatt. It seems as though we won't be getting much physical interaction from them. Wouldn't it be brilliant if Wyatt targeted other people in front of Rollins?
