This is going to be a huge week for WWE. While tonight's show will be the season premiere of WWE RAW, SmackDown is set to return to the USA network on Friday. The company is leaving no stone unturned in hyping the upcoming shows.

WWE has announced five matches for tonight's WWE RAW. Furthermore, wrestling legend, Bret Hart is set to make an appearance on tonight's show in Canada.

Talking of SmackDown, Solo Sikoa will challenge Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Title in a Steel Cage Match. Meanwhile, Andrade will lock horns with Carmelo Hayes in a rubber match.

What else could happen in WWE this week? Here are four bold predictions for the upcoming episodes of RAW and SmackDown:

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE


#4. The Judgment Day could costs Jey Uso a potential win on WWE RAW

Jey Uso will clash with Pete Dunne, Braun Strowman, and Ilja Dragunov in a Fatal Four-Way match to determine the #1 contender for the Intercontinental Championship on WWE RAW tonight. However, things may not turn out well for the former Bloodline member as he could face a tough loss in the match due to The Judgment Day.

Jey is currently involved in an angle with the heel stable on the red brand. Given that, The Judgment Day could interfere in the match to cost the former tag team champion a potential win.


#3. Gunther may confront Bret Hart on WWE RAW

As mentioned earlier, wrestling veteran Bret Hart will make an appearance on tonight's WWE RAW. Rumor has it that the company is planning a segment between the 67-year-old legend and Gunther.

Therefore, The Ring General could confront the veteran tonight. This potential angle could lead to Sami Zayn getting involved in the segment. The former Honorary Uce has been gunning for a shot at Gunther's World Heavyweight Title, and tonight's segment may result in WWE booking the duo in a title match at Bad Blood.


#2. Randy Orton might return as Kevin Owens' mystery partner

Kevin Owens will team up with a mystery partner on this week's SmackDown to take on A-Town Down Under in a tag team match. The Prizefighter's mystery partner could be none other than The Viper, Randy Orton.

The Apex Predator has been off WWE TV since his loss against Gunther at Bash in Berlin. However, he could return on Friday's show as Owens' partner to help him defeat Austin Theory and Grayson Waller.


#1. Roman Reigns could turn up with Jimmy Uso

Cody Rhodes will put his Undisputed WWE Title on the line against Solo Sikoa in a Steel Cage Match on this week's SmackDown. However, potential interference from The Bloodline during the match seems a no-brainer.

Given that, Roman Reigns could make an electrifying return to help The American Nightmare even the odds against the heel stable. However, the Original Tribal Chief may not return alone as he could be accompanied by his brother, Jimmy Uso.

The Big Uce has been on the sidelines due to an injury after he was assaulted and kicked out of The Bloodline. However, he is rumored to return shortly. The eight-time champion (three-time RAW Tag Team Champion and five-time SmackDown Tag Team Champion) could return alongside Roman Reigns to take out The Bloodline on Friday.
