New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
#5 Big E and Goldberg have a memorable WWE RAW moment
Big E has been vocal about his love for WWE Hall of Famer Goldberg. He was a big fan growing up! It only makes sense for him to tease a cash-in on the legend, just to prove that he could run in on the Champion of any brand! Could Big E show up on WWE RAW this week?
It would be fitting for Big E to cash in on his idol if that is indeed the route they're taking for SummerSlam. While Big E has not really teased a cash-in on Bobby Lashley yet (he doesn't even have the briefcase), the clip above is really interesting. It may be an indication of things to come.
This segment could even be a complete swerve because Big E may eventually be the man to dethrone Roman Reigns. There's far too much history with Paul Heyman to not play out this angle!
#4 Aliyah makes her WWE RAW debut
Aliyah is officially signed to the WWE RAW brand even though we haven't seen her compete in the company's flagship show just yet. That may be set to change this week, especially if we're to see a glimpse of what's next for the women's roster after SummerSlam.
Could Tamina Snuka recruit Aliyah to fill in for Natalya until she's ready to return to action? The idea of Aliyah becoming a Champion before her first match could sow the seeds for a future feud with Natalya!
#3 Baron Corbin tries to cash in on Bobby Lashley
We saw Baron Corbin at WWE RAW last week as part of the brand-to-brand invitational challenge.
Could he become a part of the WWE RAW brand this week as well? Only this time, he comes in to cash in the contract that he's stolen.
Let's imagine that Goldberg lays Lashley out in the middle of the ring.
Corbin could rush in to cash the contract, but MVP could stop the penniless erstwhile King, just in time!
#2 Riddle makes a giant save
WWE RAW last week ended with Riddle eating an RKO at the hands of Randy Orton. It is pretty clear that we're getting RKBro vs. Omos and AJ Styles at SummerSlam, but how do we get there? Well, as the tweet below indicates, Randy Orton and Omos go to war on WWE RAW this week, and unlike the giant, Randy Orton doesn't have anyone in his corner. Could Riddle show up, out of the blue, and help The Viper pick up a win, reuniting the fan-favorite team once again?
#1 Keith Lee teases a major WWE RAW feud for after SummerSlam 2021
Keith Lee shared his story with the world last week, and we can only say that we're glad that he's back healthy and happy!
But now that he's back in the WWE RAW mix once again, it's necessary to remind the world just how special he is.
Could he meet Sheamus backstage and tease a feud after SummerSlam?
In case Sheamus retains his title at SummerSlam, Lee could be the man to dethrone him!
