The final Monday Night RAW before Saturday Night's Main Event could see the return of superstars that haven't been seen in months. Their comeback could open the way for new storylines ahead of the RAW premiere on Netflix on January 6.

With that in mind, we take a look at five superstars that could show up on the red brand this Monday night.


#5. Omos hasn't been seen in WWE in 8 months

Omos last wrestled in WWE before WrestleMania 40, when he was part of the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal. Eight months later, WWE has not given any updates on his status, but he could be a surprise return.

What he could do if he showed up on Monday is still unclear, but there are a few storylines he could become part of, especially at a mid-card level.


#4. Braun Strowman could replace Bronson Reed on RAW

The Monster Among Men has been off WWE TV since September 30, when he tore his groin during a match against Bronson Reed, which saw the return of Seth Rollins.

Following his recovery, he has been working some dark matches lately, meaning that he should be back soon. With Bronson Reed out for a significant period due to injury, WWE could bring Braun Strowman back as his replacement.

Whether he will remain a face or will have a heel turn remains to be seen, though.


#3. Alexa Bliss could join The Wyatt Sicks

It has been nearly two years since Alexa Bliss was in WWE. Due to maternity leave, she has been out since the Royal Rumble Premium Live Event in January 2023.

Despite teasing a return for months now, she is nowhere to be found. However, this Monday night looks like the perfect opportunity for a RAW comeback for Alexa Bliss. The reason? The match between The Wyatt Sicks and The Final Testament.

The Goddess could show up and help The Wyatt Sicks win the match, reuniting with Uncle Howdy and joining the faction. If this doesn't happen, though, the RAW premiere on Netflix or the Royal Rumble appears to be the more likely spots for a comeback.


#2. Becky Lynch could have re-signed with WWE

The Man last wrestled in WWE on May 27, when she failed to reclaim the Women's World Championship from Liv Morgan on RAW. Her contract expired a few days later, but there has been speculation that she has now re-signed with WWE.

Becky Lynch appeared at a media event at Netflix Headquarters in Los Angeles alongside her husband, Seth Rollins, and other WWE Superstars. Her presence there could mean that she is now back in the business.

Thus, we could see her on RAW re-igniting her feud with Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripley while cutting a promo about what's next for her.


#1. Damian Priest will seek revenge on Finn Balor

Damian Priest missed last week's show to recover from what happened at Survivor Series: WarGames, where he missed the opportunity to reclaim the World Heavyweight Championship from Gunther, due to interference from Finn Balor.

The Punisher assaulted Balor backstage but was beaten down by the rest of The Judgment Day. This week, though, he could return and cut on promo, opening the way for a rematch between the two on the RAW premiere on Netflix in early January.

Damian Priest could also interfere in Balor's title match against Gunther at Saturday Night's Main Event.
