Without further ado, here are 3 things that should happen and 2 that shouldn't on WWE RAW tonight:
John Cena's last PPV's name revealed by Kurt Angle? More details HERE
Should happen: Bobby Lashley interrupts Drew McIntyre vs King Corbin on WWE RAW
Drew McIntyre is set to face King Corbin tonight after the SmackDown Superstar was invited to face the WWE Champion last week. The two were involved together in various storylines last year and are set to compete in opposite corners for the first time since.
The Scottish Psychopath revealed that week he would be facing 'the guy everyone hates' on RAW. He said:
“Every single person on planet earth hates this guy. I’ve spent a lot of time with him, I’ve been on teams with him, I’ve traveled the world with him. He’s a terrible, terrible human being. You don’t want to miss this match with me and Corbin. I’m gonna rip his damn head off.”
While Corbin has been doing well in the ring, he has just not managed to get the WWE Universe on his side. He has real heat with the fans to the extent that many unfortunately wanted him released in the mass exodus last month.
WWE need to make the most of this situation and put Bobby Lashley in the mix. The former MMA star is being teased for a title run and today's match between Corbin and McIntyre would be the best way to fit him in.
Corbin, McIntyre, and Lashley were a heel trio on WWE RAW last year but were abruptly split up in the draft.
Shouldn't happen: Women's tag-title change hands
Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross are set to put their tag titles on the line tonight against The IIconics. The former tag champions returned on WWE RAW last week and issued a challenge to the current champions.
The two teams faced off on RAW and The IIconics picked up a cheeky win after Billie Kay hit Alexa Bliss with a cheap shot. They were put into the title picture straight away and now have the chance to become 2-time champions.
However, WWE should not change the titles on RAW and wait for the next pay-per-view - Backlash. The IIconics are as good as Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross but they should be getting their hands on the titles on a PPV and not on a weekly TV episode.
Moreover, WWE needs to have the women's tag titles defended a little longer by the current champions. They have held the title for just over a month now and changing hands so soon could be a bit too much.
Unless Bliss and Cross are injured or need a break, WWE should keep the titles on them for another month at least.
Should happen: Austin Theory is thrown out of Zelina's faction
It was clear last week that Zelina Vega's faction is coming to an end. Austin Theory and Angel Garza have some unresolved issues and there is a good chance of the former getting thrown out.
Theory was only brought in as Andrade was unavailable and it is not a surprise that WWE are breaking this faction up. However, it will be interesting to see what the actual issue is between the two as Garza kept saying 'I can do this all, night, all week, all year' during his match last week.
Moreover, when Drew McIntyre made his way to the ring, Garza and Andrade pushed Theory into a claymore kick. The move indicates that the two Mexicans are going to team up and leave Austin Theory hanging.
Humberto Carrillo could have a say in this storyline as well. The former NXT star could end up teaming up with Theory and set up a feud with Zelina's duo.
Whatever the case is, we will have answers tonight on WWE RAW.
Shouldn't happen: Asuka meets her first opponent
Asuka was crowned as the WWE RAW Women's champion last week after Becky Lynch relinquished the title. The Man announced that she was pregnant and thus had to vacate the title and take a break from WWE.
'As happy as you are as the RAW Women's champion, I'm a little happier. You go be a warrior, I'll go be a mother'
Now, the next step for Asuka is to know who she will be up against in a feud. Instead of just handing a title opportunity to Shayna Baszler or Nia Jax, WWE should use this situation to build a big feud.
Moreover, handing a title opportunity like the one Roman Reigns was getting against Goldberg at WrestleMania 36 did not go down well with the WWE Universe. The title shot needs to be earned and that is exactly what the next few weeks should be about.
WWE can even go on and hold a tournament like they are doing with the Intercontinental Championship. The winner of the tournament facing Asuka at Backlash next month would be the ideal prize.
Should happen: Edge accepts Randy Orton's challenge
As bizarre as it sounds, WWE are set to have another Edge vs Randy Orton match. The feud that started at Royal Rumble this year with the Viper getting eliminated by Edge, had a very good ending at WrestleMania 36.
However, WWE are extending the feud and having another match at Backlash. Orton challenged Edge to a straight-up wrestling match at next month's pay-per-view and the answer to that is set to be revealed tonight.
The Rated R Superstar was confused when he was challenged by Orton last week but has promised that he will have an answer on tonight's WWE RAW. The move could easily boost the ratings for WWE but it could leave the feud hanging dry as the match might not be as good as the Last Man Standing match at WrestleMania last month.
It would, however, be interesting if Edge says no to the challenge. The move could bring out the worst in Orton and push Edge to his limits and force him to fight Orton once again next month.
