The go-home show of Raw before Hell in a Cell 2018 could be a show that covers up WWE's mistakes from last week, and more importantly, sets the tone for the Hell in Cell pay-per-view. From legends returning to redemption for a damned faction, WWE has all the resources to make Raw more important and exciting than it has been in quite some time.
And what makes a great episode of wrestling is what lasting impression it leaves with you after it concludes and can WWE conclude Raw this week on hot fashion, well they can if they put a proper plan in place.
#1 Ronda Rousey dominates
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
The Raw women's division has been a disappointing part of Raw over the last few episodes, as WWE doesn't seem to know how to handle the depth of talent in the division. However, this week that might change as the company has scheduled Ronda Rousey to team with Natalya to take on Alexa Bliss and Alicia Fox in tag team action.
While tag team match is never interesting in the landscape of Raw's women's division, putting a star like Rousey in that equation could light up the division, as this is Rousey second match ever on Raw and very well could main event the broadcast.
#2 The Revival want revenge
The Raw Tag Team Title scene got a major boost last week on when WWE decided to take the titles off The B Team and surprisingly put them on Drew Mcintyre and Dolph Ziggler. And while that was a great decision, The Revival has to take the fall for Drew and Dolph to progress. Now where does that leave Dash and Dawson in this championship picture, does this mean they are once again subjected to go down the card?
Hopefully, not as WWE could give them a major boost of credibility this week, by making them the cavalry in the closing moments of Raw. We all know that The Shield vs Braun Strowman will most likely close out the broadcast this week, and while Strowman might have the numbers advantage, Dash and Dawson could take out Drew and Dolph as revenge for stealing their spot last week.
#3 Finn Balor in action
Finn Balor's Raw run has been disappointing in many ways, as he was mocked by others superstars, and pushed far down the card. But it seems as if Balor's terrible days as a Raw superstar is not over yet, as this week it could see him once again picked on by Baron Corbin.
Corbin has been out for Balor for months and now while Balor was on the receiving end of a beat down last week at the hands of Strowman and company it seems as if Corbin will use that to book the main vent of the night. Balor vs Drew McIntyre and Dolph Ziggler in a handicap match might seem far off, but could be the match Balor finds himself in this week, as Corbin is out to destroy the man.
#4 Rollins open challenge
The Shield was arrested like week on Raw for inciting a brawl between themselves and Braun Strowman, while fans might hate Cobriunn for being another autocratic leader on Raw, as they had to deal with the likes of The Authority for years, the man is great at his role, and this we could see another case of bias from the acting GM.
A few weeks ago Seth Rollins issued an open challenge for his IC Championship which he won against a determined Kevin Owens. This week Corbin could get Rollins to defend his IC Championship as punishment for inciting a chaotic scene on Raw last week. Sure, it's heelish booking, but it makes sense in the storyline involving these competitors, and this will be a great heel move from Corbin and possibly could see Rollins in a difficult situation.
#5 The Shield and heel locker room face off
The war last week between Braun Strowman, the Raw locker room, and The Shield was chaos, and while that brawl had so many problems booking wise, it was awesome to see WWE book this type of chaos on a brand that is regular a disappointing broadcast.
Now while this rivalry should be about the Universal Championship, WWE reforming the Shield to dominate the roster should be just about that. As Rollins, Reigns, and Ambrose could take out superstars backstage, in the parking lot, and in the ring. While Strowman and his lackeys could hunt the trio and destroy everything in their path. It could be an awesome sight if done right.
