#5. Did Kevin Owens suggest that he is on his way out of WWE on RAW?

WWE Superstars have subtly mentioned AEW on a few occasions over the past couple of years. This week on RAW, Kevin Owens came out to confront WWE Champion Big E and Seth Rollins.

During his promo, KO mentioned that he will keep fighting for three more months or three more years. Here's what Owens said:

"When I tell people to keep fighting, it is not just a catchphrase. It is something that I believe with my heart and soul and every single week, it doesn't matter what happens to me, I will get back up, I will dust myself off, I will show up the next week and I will keep fighting. It might be for three more months or three more years, that doesn't matter. What matters is that every single time I am on RAW, you can believe that I will do everything I can to give the WWE Universe something to remember."

Many fans are aware of the fact that KO’s contract with WWE will be coming to an end soon. He could be on his way out as most of his friends have joined AEW. Did Owens suggest that he is on his way out of WWE by saying that he will keep fighting for three months?

Owens hasn’t had the best bookings in WWE over the past several months. Unless the creative team has a long-term plan for him, he could decide to jump ship soon.

#4. Will T-Bar ever return to his previous gimmick on WWE RAW?

T-Bar debuted with RETRIBUTION on WWE RAW last year. The faction started well but couldn't make the impact that was expected.

After splitting, T-Bar and Mace continued to perform as a tag team and pick up losses. It was surprising to see two big well-built superstars pick up losses at the hands of lower-ranked teams.

Now that T-Bar is on a solo run, WWE has tried to push him by giving him a couple of matches against United States Champion Damian Priest. However, he’s failed to get one over The Archer of Infamy.

Will a change in gimmick help T-Bar get ahead on RAW? Is Will going back to his old name help him reach the top of the brand?

T-Bar came across as a monster as Dominik Dijakovic in WWE NXT. He had some great matches against Keith Lee and other big superstars.

Even though he wasn’t too successful on NXT, he still felt like a much bigger star. Will returning as Dominik Dijakovic help the superstar get a bigger push on RAW?

#3. Is WWE NXT’s Solo Sikoa different from The Usos?

Solo Sikoa made his first appearance for WWE at NXT Halloween Havoc. Last week, he won his first match for WWE in the ring. Sikoa is the younger brother of The Usos, who are performing on SmackDown.

The NXT Superstar came out to dominate Jeet Rama and pick up a quick victory with a big splash. He managed to make an impact in his first outing for the brand.

Instead of having him join The Bloodline, WWE has given the younger brother of Jimmy and Jey Uso a solo run. However, is he any different from The Usos?

He looks, acts, and carries himself in a very similar manner as his brothers. His move set is also similar, and so is his finisher. Should NXT look to change some things about Solo Sikoa to make him a solo star?

It will be difficult for the superstar to differentiate himself from his brothers unless WWE changes a few more things about his gimmick. However, the creative team could soon look to pair him up with his brothers on the main roster.

#2. Will WWE NXT build towards another rivalry between Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa?

Tommaso Ciampa won the WWE NXT Championship once again on the revamp show of the brand. He is one of the top stars in the company and has worked hard to push NXT to the top.

At Halloween Havoc, Ciampa defeated Bron Breakker to retain his title. However, Breakker is looking to come after the champion again soon.

This week on NXT, WWE teased something massive between Ciampa and an old rival. The Blackheart had a staredown with Johnny Gargano as he exited the ring after a segment.

The two men already competed in their "final" match on NXT last year, but it will be difficult for WWE to keep the two men apart for long. Will fans ultimately get an NXT Championship match between Ciampa and Gargano?

There is no reason to keep the two superstars away any longer. Even though they’ve had their last match, things have changed on NXT. A rivalry between the two men for the title will elevate NXT 2.0. The WWE creatives may have teased a big match through a quick staredown.

#1. How long will Shayna Baszler remain stuck on WWE SmackDown?

Shayna Baszler is one of the most dangerous superstars in WWE today. She was a force to reckon with in NXT. However, her stay on the main roster hasn’t been too great.

The Queen of Spades is currently performing on the SmackDown brand, where she is busy in a rivalry with Naomi. However, Baszler is only a side character in the rivalry as Naomi’s actual enemy is Sonya Deville.

WWE will likely move Baszler out of the picture soon and possibly book a match between Naomi and Deville. However, when will The Queen of Spades get her push on the main roster? Isn’t a world title run overdue for Shayna Baszler?

WWE needs to do a lot more with Baszler as she is a top competitor. Even though she’s won a couple of tag team titles, she needs to win a big one soon. She had a dominant NXT Championship reign, and she is capable enough to replicate it on the main roster.

How long will it take Shayna Baszler to rise from the bottom and challenge Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship?
