The upcoming episode of WWE RAW will be a pre-taped edition of Monday Night RAW. This means that the show will be pre-recorded but will still air live during the usual RAW time slot.
However, backstage segments often bring surprises, adding an extra layer of excitement to a pre-taped show. In this article, we will discuss four potential surprises that could happen on RAW this week.
#4. Dominik Mysterio might walk out after backstage argument with Finn Balor
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
In the upcoming episode of WWE RAW, The War Raiders will face off against Dominik Mysterio and Carlito in a tag team match. However, after the match, a backstage segment could see Finn Balor and Dirty Dominik engaged in a heated argument.
Tensions between Dominik and Balor have been building for some time, and if the match results don’t go their way, conflicts are likely to arise. Previously, the former Universal Champion was unhappy with Dominik’s loss in the Fatal Four-Way match, which also involved Damian Priest. The Archer of Infamy won the bout to earn another World title shot.
If Dominik loses again, it could lead to an intense backstage confrontation. In the heat of the moment, Dominik might decide to walk out on Finn Balor in frustration. However, it’s possible that the other Judgment Day members could step in later to reconcile Dominik with Balor and try to smooth over the tensions within the faction.
#3. Xavier Woods might reject the idea of The New Day 10th anniversary celebration
Over the past few weeks, Xavier Woods' behavior has drastically changed. As we approach The New Day's 10th anniversary celebration, it’s possible that Woods will reject the celebration.
This is a realistic possibility, as the Stamford-based promotion has been planting the seeds for his transition into a more villainous character.
Rejecting such a significant moment for The New Day could lead to Big E returning to try to resolve the growing conflict between Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
#2. Adam Pearce might decide to fine Bronson Reed on Nick Aldis' orders
Bronson Reed made an uninvited appearance during the recent episode of WWE SmackDown, where he destroyed the OG Bloodline. His actions confirmed that he will be the fifth member of Solo Sikoa's faction for the Survivor Series WarGames match.
However, since Reed is a RAW star, his unauthorized actions on the blue brand could lead to consequences. On tonight's RAW, Adam Pearce might impose a fine on Bronson Reed in a backstage segment as a result of his actions on SmackDown.
Additionally, it may be revealed that the fine was imposed on Nick Aldis' orders, as he is the General Manager of Friday Nights.
#1. Seth Rollins could still refuse to join the OG Bloodline on RAW
With Bronson Reed joining forces with Solo Sikoa's Bloodline, there has been major speculation about Seth Rollins potentially aligning with the OG Bloodline. However, in tonight’s episode of the red brand, fans may witness an unexpected twist when The Visionary rejects the idea of joining Roman Reigns' faction for the WarGames match.
Rollins could explain that he plans to settle his personal business with Bronson Reed soon, but he has no interest in becoming part of the family battle.
The Visionary's rejection, especially after Reed's addition to The Bloodline, could set the stage for a surprising development heading into Survivor Series: WarGames 2024.
