Tonight is going to be a monumental episode of WWE Monday Night RAW for several reasons. For starters, the house is going to be packed, as over 14,000 fans will be in attendance according to WrestleTix.
Another reason tonight's show is monumental is because it marks the end of an era. Tonight's episode of Monday Night RAW will be the final one to air on USA Network and cable television in general, as the red brand moves to Netflix beginning next week.
With such a big episode of RAW on the horizon, there are some big things happening tonight. Damian Priest will team with The War Raiders, IYO SKY will clash with Lyra Valkyria, and perhaps most interestingly, Otis and Chad Gable will go one-on-one.
The story of Gable and Otis has been building for a long time and now it may reach a conclusion, but how could it end? This article will take a look at a handful of ways the upcoming bout could conclude, which might even feature an NXT star debuting as part of a faction.

Below are four finishes for Chad Gable vs. Otis on WWE RAW.
#4. Otis could win cleanly to end their feud
Otis is one of WWE's most underrated performers. While he isn't tall, he is one of the biggest and most powerful wrestlers in the entire company. He can also move quicker than many fans would expect upon seeing him.
He has been successful in WWE too. Otis is a two-time RAW Tag Team Champion. Of course, his partner was none other than Chad Gable. In many fans' eyes, Otis was the backbone of the duo.
Otis could prove that on RAW tonight. When the two go at it, Otis might hit his variation of The World's Strongest Slam or even his Worm and Elbow Drop combination to pick up a decisive win over Gable. From there, Otis could move on, putting his former friend behind him once and for all.
#3. Chad Gable could make Otis tap out
While Otis has proven to be a tough competitor, it would be foolish to doubt the ability of Chad Gable. Many WWE fans compare him to Hall of Famer Kurt Angle and for good reason, he is incredible in the ring.
Despite the fact that many fans believe Otis was the backbone of their team, Gable has found a tremendous amount of success in tag team wrestling with other partners too. He also nearly won the Intercontinental Title from both Sami Zayn and Gunther.
Part of the formula for Gable's success in WWE is the Ankle Lock. While Otis has powerful legs, if Chad locks in the submission hold, the big man may be forced to submit. If he doesn't tap out immediately, Otis would risk serious injury. Don't be shocked to see Gable win cleanly with a submission on RAW.
#2. Andre Chase could debut as a new member of Alpha Academy
The Alpha Academy is currently comprised of Otis, Maxxine Dupri, and Akira Tozawa. The trio recently put out some videos and a website promoting the group, teasing new recruits joining the fold.
Andre Chase used to be the leader of Chase University, a 'school' and stable on WWE NXT. Unfortunately, he lost to Ridge Holland and the group was forced to disband, leaving him without any clear direction moving forward.
In what could be a fun twist, Andre Chase could be a new Alpha Academy recruit and he could appear on RAW tonight. If The Creed Brothers try to interfere, Akira Tozawa could be joined by the former Headmaster of Chase U to fight them off. From there, Otis could get a win over Gable during the chaos.
#1. The Judgment Day could attack everyone to re-establish themselves in WWE
The Judgment Day is a faction currently on WWE RAW featuring six members. Carlito, Raquel Rodriguez, JD McDonagh, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, and Liv Morgan make up the stable, with Damian Priest, Edge, and Rhea Ripley being former members of the faction.
Things have been rocky for the group recently, however. Finn Balor and JD McDonagh lost the World Tag Team Titles on WWE RAW. Beyond that, Liv is dangerously close to losing her title to Rhea and nobody else holds gold. The group barely even gets along.
Come RAW, they could look to correct course by showing up during the match and laying everyone out. If they take out Gable, Otis, and the rest of both Alpha Academy and American Made, it would tell the world that The Judgment Day is back on top and nobody can stop them. Of course, the match would be ruled a no-contest.
