What will Lesnar's fate be, come Monday Night RAW?

With less than one week remaining for WWE's tour to Saudi Arabia and WWE Super ShowDown, the company will deliver the go-home RAW show for the event on June 3rd live from Austin, Texas.

After what was a rather controversial week for WWE, thanks to Dean Ambrose's huge revelations and allegations on the company and its working, WWE would want to put on a solid show of RAW to get back on track.

With many major segments set to take place this week, including Brock's cash-in on Seth Rollins, here are the possible twists and surprises that can take place on the RAW before Super ShowDown.


New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

#6 Cesaro becomes the new United States Champion

Now, this would be Best for Business!
Now, this would be Best for Business!

Rey Mysterio's unfortunate injury at Money in the Bank has forced him to relinquish his United States Championship. With Samoa Joe's intentions to reclaim the title he lost to Rey at MITB, it would be interesting to see who and how does the company crown its new US Champion.

There are certainly many candidates who have proved themselves worthy to get a shot at the US Title. A fatal-four way between Joe, Cesaro, Ricochet, and Sami Zayn might be a great way to crown the new US Champion. With the brewing competition with AEW, this match would certainly be a great way to showcase some exceptional wrestling on their show.

Cesaro, being a huge fan-favorite, could shock everyone by becoming the new US Champion. The match itself would no-doubt be exceptional.


#5 The Viking Raiders return

The RAW Tag Division needs them!
The RAW Tag Division needs them!

RAW's Tag Team Division has faced some really bad booking in the last few weeks. On the forefront are the Tag Team Champions, Curt Hawkins and Zack Ryder, who are missing from the show for many weeks. Them not appearing on RAW is also hurting the importance of the RAW Tag Titles.

Other than them, The Viking Raiders who debuted on RAW after WrestleMania 35 had a great start and looked set to dominate the roster. But these two monsters have also been missing from Monday Night's for the last several weeks. A return of the Viking Raiders (hopefully with no more name changes) would be a huge boost to the entire division.

It's about time WWE puts these two in the title picture, and that could happen as soon as this Monday with them announcing their intentions to go after the RAW Tag Titles.

#4 Bray Wyatt sends a cryptic message to The Undertaker

This would be a huge statement!
This would be a huge statement!

Bray Wyatt has easily been the best thing about RAW in the last month or so. With each passing week, Wyatt is unveiling more demented layers to his character and the WWE Universe is excited to see what comes next.

Another dark entity set to appear on RAW is the Prince of Darkness, The Undertaker. While he is definitely showing up to hype-up his match against Goldberg at Super ShowDown, can we see a cryptic exchange between him and Wyatt?

Bray is known for his mysterious and complicated storytelling and messages, could he possibly hint at a future showdown between The Fiend and Taker? We need to listen closely to what he says next week to find out.


#3 Becky Lynch takes a shot at Sasha Banks

After a brief pause, the Sasha Banks situation has again risen up on the internet. Among the reports of her having a meeting with the WWE Chairman, Vince McMahon, Becky Lynch replied to a fan's tweet and vowed to beat up Sasha if she ever shows up again.

Could this be the start of a huge feud between the RAW Women's Champion and The Boss? Last week we saw Sami namedrop AEW on RAW, can Becky Lynch continue this tradition and call out Sasha next week? We all know how ruthless The Man is at taking shots at his opponents.

#2 Brock Lesnar is forced to defend his MITB contract

How long will the Brock party continue?
How long will the Brock party continue?

The biggest segment announced for RAW next week is the Beast in the Box, Brock Lesnar's cash-in. His advocate, Paul Heyman, has announced that The Beast will be cashing in his contract on the Universal Champion, Seth Rollins on RAW.

This was done after Stephanie McMahon announced to punish Brock for his actions of disrespecting the MITB contract. One thing is for sure, there would be a lot of drama around the MITB cash-in situation on RAW.

But what if Brock is denied to cash-in on RAW? Could the Authority take a huge step to ensure the MITB winner respects the briefcase? Stephanie forcing the beast to defend his MITB contract in a match at Super ShowDown would be an apt punishment for the Beast and would also add him to the card for Saudi.

While his defense could be against someone like Mustafa Ali, who was about to win the match at MITB before Brock interrupted, but WWE could raise the stakes by forcing the Beast to defend his contract in the 50-man Battle Royal.

There can be so many outcomes to that match that could lead to various storylines and rivalries.

#1 Vince McMahon appears on the "Electric Chair"

2He has a lot to answer to the WWE Universe!
2He has a lot to answer to the WWE Universe!

In what was one of the most controversial segments in the recent memory, we saw Sami Zayn appear as a guest on the newly introduced "Electric Chair" on RAW, hosted by Corey Graves. With WWE teasing the return of the segment this week as well, fans are wondering who would sit on it this time?

If there is one person who has plenty to answer to the WWE Universe, it has to be the chairman himself, Vince McMahon. After Dean Ambrose's ruthless comments towards him and his ideology during Chris Jericho's podcast, Vince might just want to give him a taste of his own medicine by appearing on the Electric Chair this week.

If the Electric Chair does return this week, it would also indicate that Sami's comments last week were intentional and not a slip-up. This segment sure has the potential to become the most controversial thing in WWE.
