5 things you need to know before tonight's WWE RAW: Stone Cold, The Fiend and more (September 9th, 2019)

#1 Is the Texas Rattlesnake prey for the Fiend?

Will the Texas Rattlesnake be the next victim of the Fiend tonight on RAW?

I earlier wrote about how the moderation of Stone Cold Steve Austin in tonight's Universal title contract signing should ward off any would-be intruders, but that doesn't seem to apply for everyone in WWE. Since his return to WWE earlier this year, Bray Wyatt has been an unstoppable force, laying out everyone he has chosen to attack, and recently set his sights on the Universal title.

With The Fiend issuing a challenge to whoever the Universal Champion is after Clash of Champions, it makes sense that Wyatt would have a vested interest in tonight's contract signing, and could even target the Bionic redneck himself. On Twitter, Wyatt hinted at shedding the Rattlesnake's skin saying:

“A rattlesnakes skins’ the same color as the leaves, she said. You gotta get them before they get you.” -Sister Abigail

Could Wyatt be planning an attack on the Rattlesnake, and possibly even the BeastSlayer and the Monster Among Men? It'd certainly be a risky move, but one that could pay off in a major way for The Fiend if he was successful.

Whatever happens, it seems tonight's contract signing will definitely be something to keep fans watching throughout the night.
