RK-Bro was looking for their next challengers on RAW. The Street Profits won a qualification match, followed by The Mysterios. The two teams will collide to determine who will challenge the RAW Tag Team Champions next.

Kyle O’Reilly fought his final battle on WWE NXT against Von Wagner. KOR gave Wagner a good rub on his way out and allowed him to pick up a massive win. Meanwhile, Johnny Gargano’s farewell did not go as planned as Grayson Waller attacked him and laid him out to end the show.

Bron Breakker was also ready to challenge the NXT Champion once again. However, Diamond Mine’s Roderick Strong was ready to give Breakker a chance to prove himself this week.

Sami Zayn arrived in a wheelchair on WWE SmackDown. The Conspiracy Theorist’s rant got him in trouble with Brock Lesnar once again. It looks like Zayn will remain an integral part of the storyline between Lesnar and Roman Reigns heading into WWE Day 1.

Xia Li made her SmackDown debut and helped Naomi fight off Sonya Deville, Shayna Baszler, and Natalya. The two women can team up to take on the heels collectively in the weeks to come.

Take a look at the five things that must happen on WWE RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week.


#5. The Mysterios must defeat The Street Profits on WWE RAW

The Street Profits are back in the title scene on WWE RAW. Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford will face Dominik and Rey Mysterio on Monday to determine who will face RK-Bro for the RAW Tag Team Championships.

Dawkins and Ford have held the titles before and proven to be great champions. They can give the RK-Bro a tough fight for the titles, especially at WWE Day 1.

However, WWE must pull off a swerve and allow Dominik to pin Ford or Dawkins to win the match. The Msyterios must then move on to challenge the RK-Bro for the RAW Tag Team Championships.

WWE must then look to break The Mysterios up during their title match on Day 1. It would be the perfect way to build a rivalry between Rey and Dominik for WrestleMania 38. WWE could look to have Dominik retire Rey at the show.

Meanwhile, RAW could save The Street Profits and have them go against the RK-Bro at WrestleMania 38. It could turn out to be one of the biggest matches of the event.

#4. Liv Morgan must challenge Becky Lynch to a match at WWE Day 1

Liv Morgan got the biggest opportunity of her career on WWE RAW. She challenged Becky Lynch for the RAW Women’s Champion on Mondy night.

Liv was impressive during the contest and showed why she deserved the opportunity. She was closing in on a victory when Lynch decided to cheat and pick up the win.

Many fans were disappointed with the outcome, but WWE could look to book a bigger match between the two women at WWE Day 1. On this week’s RAW, Liv must challenge Lynch to another title match at the upcoming pay-per-view.

The Man must refuse Liv the opportunity and ask her to prove herself once again. The angle could help build the WWE Superstar as an even bigger underdog before allowing her another shot at the title.


#3. Bron Breakker must rip through Roderick Strong on WWE NXT

At WWE NXT TakeOver: WarGames, Roderick Strong defended his title against Joe Gacy. Strong was able to defeat the man who did not fall in the cruiserweight category.

Strong will face Bron Breakker in a non-title match this week. While Breakker has been on a roll since his NXT debut, Strong has taken down the biggest men in all of WWE.

WWE must look to push Breakker forward by giving him a win against The Messiah of the Backbreaker. The win will allow Breakker to further strengthen his case for a match against Tommaso Ciampa for the NXT Championship.

#2. Duke Hudson must cheat his way to a win against Cameron Grimes on WWE NXT

Cameron Grimes defeated Duke Hudson in a Hair vs. Hair match at WWE NXT TakeOver: WarGames. However, Grimes is not yet done with Hudson. The two men will meet in the ring once again on NXT in a No Holds Barred Match.

WWE will look to give Hudson a push in the contest while cementing him as a major heel. While anything can happen in a No Holds Barred match, WWE must allow Hudson to resort to something completely unorthodox to pick up the win.

Ad

The result would allow Grimes to retain his credibility while giving Hudson a big win. WWE is looking to build some good new superstars on NXT 2.0, and a win for Hudson would help him move forward on the brand.


#1. Sami Zayn must demand a big match for WWE Day 1

Ad

Sami Zayn was once again destroyed by Brock Lesnar on WWE SmackDown. The Conspiracy Theorist has quickly become one of the main characters of the show heading into WWE Day 1.

This week on SmackDown, Zayn must approach Adam Pearce backstage and demand the official to make him a part of the Universal Championship match between Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar. The two men are already set to collide at the upcoming pay-per-view.

Zayn must then run into Lesnar, who must destroy him once again to make one final statement. WWE can then look to inject Zayn into the match to allow him to take the pinfall and protect both Lesnar and Reigns at Day 1.
