Unexpected ending; post-match assault? - 3 possible finishes for Rey Mysterio vs. Xavier Woods on tonight's WWE RAW

In tonight's episode of WWE RAW, Rey Mysterio will make his in-ring return as he faces Xavier Woods in a singles match. This showdown was made official last week after Woods expressed anger towards the Hall of Famer and LWO for interfering during their World Tag Team Championship match against The Judgment Day on September 16, 2024 edition of the red brand.

The fans are eager to see the outcome, especially due to the suspicious behavior of The New Day member. This article will discuss three possible finishes for the Mysterio vs. Woods match on WWE RAW tonight.

#3. Rey Mysterio might score a clean victory over Woods

The last time Rey Mysterio wrestled on the red brand was on September 9, 2024, when he defeated Finn Balor via DQ. With Rey stepping into the squared circle again on tonight's RAW, it wouldn't be a surprise if he decisively defeats Xavier Woods to gain some momentum.

The Master of 619 win over Woods tonight would boost his momentum on RAW. This could later potentially position the veteran for a future shot at the Intercontinental Championship against the current Champion Jey Uso.

#2. Xavier Woods might finally snap and destroy Rey Mysterio on RAW

Over the past few weeks, multiple hints suggest that Xavier Woods might turn heel soon on the red brand. With that in mind, the Stamford-based promotion could use tonight's RAW to finally execute Woods' villainous turn.

It's conceivable that Woods may snap, becoming frustrated with Rey Mysterio repeatedly kicking out of his pinfalls. As a result, the 38-year-old star could resort to a brutal assault on the veteran, securing his victory.

Furthermore, he might attack Rey Mysterio post-match, solidifying that his heel turn is now imminent. Later, Kofi might come out and stop Woods from this post-match assault on the legendary star.

#1. Kofi Kingston might accidentally cost Woods

As mentioned, WWE has been hinting at the villainous turn of Xavier Woods over the past few weeks. To accelerate this heel turn, it’s possible that WWE might book an angle where Kofi Kingston unintentionally costs Woods his match against Rey Mysterio.

Kingston could be at ringside simply to support his New Day teammate, but things may take a wrong turn when Woods gets distracted, allowing Rey to secure the victory. This could serve as WWE planting the final seeds for the former King of the Ring's heel turn before he ultimately betrays Kofi and turns against him.
