Payback is just days away and its match card only has two matches. The last sentence is enough to prove how chaotic this week's Monday Night Raw is going to be in the U.S Bank Arena in Cincinnati. From solving the half-baked storylines to building new ones, WWE do have a lot of work to do in their weekly Flagship show.
Last week's episode was the company's best outing in ages and the expectations will obviously be high about this week's Show. Here is a look at the possible offerings that WWE could come up with in the latest edition of Monday Night Raw.
Reunion Time
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Things have not being going good for the members of Wyatt Family ever since the stable was broken up. Bray Wyatt went from one feud to another without getting over properly while Rowan and Harper struggled in the midcard with their random bookings.
Harper and Rowan teased a reunion in the last episode of SmackDown and if WWE is indeed choosing the path, it would certainly make the fans happy. Rowan and Harper can simply dominate the tag team division and if Bray is going to be brought back into the scene, then the trio could be injected into the main event as well. Raw holds the answer to these reunion questions.
Family Ties
The divas division got a lot more interesting with the return of Tamina. WWE played up the fact of Naomi being married to the cousin of Tamina and turned the whole thing into a family affair. So on one hand we have the Bella Twins and on the other there is the Anoa'i family.
It is a fresh approach from the usual championship feud and we all know how good Tamina can be as a body guard. WWE however still has a lot of work to be done since the fans are not finding any reasons to cheer for the newly turned Bellas. Solve that and we have a solid feud in our hands.
Payback Matchcard
This week's Raw will be the homecoming edition of Payback and WWE has only two matches to build-up. Although there are a lot of possibilities floating around, none of the matches have been made official and it is eventually going to hurt the company when the pay-per-view arrives.
Adrian Neville vs. King Barrett, a bout for the tag team titles, Sheamus vs. Dolph Ziggler, and a divas match are the possible additions into the pay-per-view along with the cold Ryback vs. Bray Wyatt one. The way in which WWE puts these matches into the card would be the main talking point of this week's Raw.
Another NXT star please
One of the reasons for Raw being a huge success last week was Sami Zayn. He came in and won the entire WWE Universe with his performance against John Cena. Though WWE will be looking to build up the whole Cena vs. Rusev clash, what they really needs to do is give some upcoming talent a shot at Cena.
Just like he put over Sami, Cena could help the likes of Adrian Neville, Fandango, Adam Rose or even Heath Slater for the matter. And if it is a new star from NXT like Kevin Owens or Finn Balor, then things will be even better.
I mean, who would not love to see a match between Owens and Cena?
Who will come out on Top?
Ever since the fatal four way match was announced WWE has been giving all four wrestlers time to get one over the others. First it was Dean Ambrose who stood tall and later Seth Rollins got his due. Randy Orton and Roman Reigns are still waiting for their turn and it might happen this week on Raw.
Apart from this, the newly born friction between Reigns and Ambrose is worth tuning into. If WWE is indeed turning one of these superstars at Payback, then we are in for a treat on Monday Night. There is a rumour of the Authority making their return as well, which in turn adds more layer to the championship scenario.
