#5 Big E shows up on WWE RAW and destroys Goldberg, teasing a cash-in

Big E has been very public about the fact that Goldberg is his childhood hero. While it doesn't seem like Roman Reigns will lose his Universal Championship any time soon, it does look like Big E could cash in his contract on the other brand. Could SmackDown star Big E show up on WWE RAW this week and assault Goldberg?

It would allow Big E a chance to work with his ultimate childhood hero and also add a whole new dimension to the upcoming SummerSlam match. Lashley vs. Goldberg may seem like a 2-minute affair on paper, but when this aspect is thrown in, the match is suddenly a lot more enticing and exciting.

With Finn Balor coming to the SmackDown brand, the WWE RAW brand needs a top babyface far more. Big E is the man for the job.

#4 Natalya is forced to relinquish her Championship

Today my surgeon told me that I’m an anomaly. It’s been an intense week to say the least. All I asked was to be put back in the fight and FAST. Surgery will fix me, defending our championships will drive me. #UNBREAKABLE pic.twitter.com/KUfeVnPBoH

Natalya got injured for real on WWE RAW last week! And while she deserves nothing more than to hang on to the Women's Tag Team Championships alongside Tamina, this is a division that needs all the help that it can get because it's often neglected.

Let's assume Natalya and Tamina are forced to relinquish the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships on WWE RAW in what is a tearful segment. It will create a readymade storyline where they can return to a massive pop and go after their titles again!

#3 Randy Orton returns to WWE RAW & helps his partner Riddle out

Bro. @SuperKingofBros has a tall task ahead of him this Monday as he goes toe-to-toe with @AJStylesOrg’s colossal co-#WWERaw #TagTeamChampion, @TheGiantOmos! https://t.co/eeQ9PM4bC5 pic.twitter.com/NagiwxKcyD

Riddle has seemingly entered into a feud with the WWE RAW Tag Team Champions and this could only mean one thing, really. Randy Orton will return to WWE RAW this week and even the odds against the heels to set up a SummerSlam match for the titles.

Expect Riddle to be outnumbered during his match with Omos. Randy Orton could then show up and hit a few RKOs on the Champs!

#2 Lilly comes to life

Could WWE RAW see Lilly, the doll, make her debut with former RETRIBUTION member Aliyah playing the part? With Bray Wyatt released from the company, Alexa Bliss is the final custodian of all things supernatural.

For Aliyah to take on this role in a storyline that has been building for months, would be very interesting indeed. She could also learn from veteran Alexa Bliss, and just being associated with her on WWE RAW would be a big step up.

#1 Lady Scarlett shows up on WWE RAW to join her man Karrion Kross

This is only the beginning. 😈#WWERaw

— Scarlett Bordeaux (@Lady_Scarlett13) July 20, 2021

When Karrion Kross suffered his humiliating first loss on WWE RAW to Jeff Hardy, his lady, Scarlett, tweeted the message above. It did seem to indicate that she would be joining him at a later date to turn his fortunes around for the better.

Needs Scarlett, and to not beat Keith freaking Lee.

— Alex Kane (@AlexKane_420) July 27, 2021

Karrion Kross did pick up a victory against Keith Lee last week, but what if Lee picks one up this week on WWE RAW? Maybe Lady Scarlett will show up then and say that she will change Kross' luck for the better.
