It was an eventful week in WWE as Smackdown had its 1000th episodes. Many new storylines were laid on both brands, but Raw got an upper hand in this respect as more things happened on Raw than on Smackdown. Since Smackdown completed such a monumental milestone it was certain to create more headlines than Raw.
Seeds for new feuds were sown that are set to unfold on the respective brands and it will definitely have a major impact on the future of both the brands. It could be either in near future or in the distant one.
Today we are going to list such five feuds which were teased by WWE this week. As always we would love to hear from your side as well.
#1 Bobby Lashley and Finn Balor
This is the only feud out of the lot which was not directly teased but could certainly be on the card. Finn Balor was in action against Jinder Mahal (As he has been doing for a month now), and he made quick work of the former World Champion. After the match, he was beaten down by Bobby Lashley, who was there for his match against Tyler Breeze.
This may not seem a major development as it can be taken as an action of intense anger from Lashley or a way to bring more heat to the man by assaulting a much-loved babyface in the form of Finn Balor.
But if WWE decides to go in this direction then it can certainly help both these performers and help elevate them to greater heights. Also, this feud could be an easy possibility as both Balor and Lashley have not been doing anything worthwhile on Raw.
#2 Batista and Triple H
The only feud that was teased on the blue brand was enough to put more eyes on the brand than any other feud on its counterpart. This feud has all the potential of being a Wrestlemania worthy feud and their match can be easily one of the main events of the Wrestlemania 35.
This all surged with one comment that Batista made during his enigmatic promo: Triple H has done everything except beating Batista. This led to a showdown between the two legends but was later separated by Ric Flair. This could potentially be a teaser for something bigger that could possibly happen around Mania season next year.
Many believe it is just a way to create more headlines and say no such plans are there but the reaction that this stare down generated is enough for WWE to book this feud, as it has money written all over it.
#3 Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins
This feud has already been done once in the WWE, but that time Dean Ambrose was the babyface and Seth Rollins was the heel of the storyline. This time out it is highly speculated that a feud reversing the roles is about to happen sooner than later.
These two superstars can certainly bring more eyes to the product and can also make fans who are yearning for an Ambrose heel turn happy.
Also, the WWE has consistently teased a crack in the Shield. This can also help in making Intercontinental Championship again relevant. Their feud can have the title on the line even if it does not need it.
This all can be just a fluke and no turn could take place. And it is certainly not happening this early since the Shield's reunion has not lasted very long. Still, we can hope that this feud comes to fruition.
#4 Braun Strowman and Drew Mcintyre
This was the least expected direction that WWE took this week when, after their loss from the hands of the Shield, Braun Strowman beat Dolph Ziggler and then Drew Mcintyre knocked him out with a kick to his face.
It was actually a surprising thing amidst all the teases that have been given to us in the past couple of months but certainly, this is an exciting direction. This puts Drew Mcintyre in the much-needed limelight that he has deserved since his debut on the main roster.
Also, an interesting prospect could be two feuding over the Universal Championship if Braun Strowman manages to defeat Roman Reigns for it at Crown Jewel. This is a long shot as Reigns' reign has just started (no pun intended) and it is bound to be a lengthy one.
Still, if WWE goes in this direction it can make many hardcore fans happy. Or maybe WWE has some other plans?
#5 Drew Mcintyre and Dolph Ziggler
Now, this is the least exciting feud of the lot but still, we can expect some really good matches from the duo. This feud is not possible right now but neither is the Batista and Triple H feud. This is a list of possible future feuds, and this feud is a no-brainer.
It was worth noting that when Drew Mcintyre kicked Braun Strowman and knocked him out, he did not take his partner back with him. This could be an indication that his singles push has finally started. This will take time to build as they are currently Raw Tag Team Champions and first they would have to drop the title.
But this could be a possibility if Dolph Ziggler costs them a tag team championship match in future, and Drew Mcintyre just brutalizes Dolph Ziggler after the match. This could be a perfect setup for their feud.
