WWE RAW - 5 Surprises that could happen - New Wyatt Family formed, 2 major heel turns?

Everything could turn on its head when RAW comes around!
Everything could turn on its head when RAW comes around!

This week's episode of WWE RAW is the final edition before the 2020 Draft. WWE has to make the show memorable and special so that there is interest in the upcoming Draft and also in the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view where several WWE RAW Superstars will wage war.

So, expect this week's edition of WWE RAW to be filled with surprises galore. And also, expect the brand split to be diluted for this week's edition as SmackDown stars could potentially show up on WWE RAW to perhaps kickstart storylines for the new era, following the Draft.

As always, you are welcome to share your thoughts, views, and opinions about the WWE RAW surprises mentioned in this article, in the comments section below, and also if you wish to suggest surprises of your own, go for it!


#5 Aleister Black from WWE RAW shows up to join Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss to form a brand new Wyatt Family

While WWE RAW star Aleister Black is not really a supernatural character, one has to admit that there is a hint of darkness to him, and his entrance does tell tales of a certain sense of the unnatural lingering over the man. Braun Strowman's never coming back to the Wyatt Family, Mr. Brodie Lee is doing well for himself on AEW Dynamite and Rowan is currently doing Rowan things. So, could it be time to start a brand new Wyatt Family on WWE RAW then?

It has been officially announced that Bray Wyatt will be a guest on the KO show, and if this is the case, Aleister Black could be lurking in the background, waiting for his opportunity. And Bray Wyatt could welcome him into the fold, with himself and Alexa Bliss, very soon after.

#4 Kevin Owens turns heel on WWE RAW, following his interaction with The Fiend

Listen, we all saw the most recent episode of the KO Show on SmackDown, where the WWE RAW star showed up to interview Alexa Bliss, and in time, he got assaulted by The Fiend. The Fiend would then take Alexa Bliss by the hand, and things would look very ominous indeed. As a follow-up to the dastardly act, Bray Wyatt is supposed to be the special guest on WWE RAW, on the KO Show this week. What we do know is that anyone who has a brush with The Fiend ends up changing.

We all know that Kevin Owens is at his best as a heel, which was the case when he was aligned with Chris Jericho, and ever since he has become a babyface, things have not quite been the same for him. In fact, Ric Flair even cut a promo in a previous WWE RAW episode where he derided the current version of Kevin Owens, who had become a guidance counselor. Could this be a fresh start? One can hope.

#3 Aalyah Mysterio becomes a heel on WWE RAW as well when she becomes the new Seth Rollins disciple

Most people think that Aalyah Mysterio could be instrumental in showing WWE RAW star Murphy the light, in making him a babyface. But there's always the other end of the spectrum, where the stain of Seth Rollins' malice is so strong, that he pulls Aalyah Mysterio into the darkness, ensuring that she becomes a heel.

There is certainly a sense of turmoil within the Mysterio family, and we all saw how Aalyah Mysterio slapped the taste out of her own brother, because of their differences over whether or not WWE RAW star Murphy is, at heart, a good person. This paves the way for Seth Rollins to recruit her into his fold, and make her one of his disciples. It would certainly make things very interesting indeed for all parties involved, and ensure that this particular feud runs for a really long time indeed.

Is this a surprise you'd like to see on WWE RAW, dearest reader?

#2 Mandy Rose, WWE RAW's newest superstar, shows genuine sympathy for an injured Angel Garza

We know that WWE RAW star Angel Garza is injured, but luckily, it does not look so very bleak at all:

I still have more evaluations to do, but if all goes well, I think I might be out from a week to maybe 15 days. Thank God that it wasn't anything long-term like five or six months. They told me if I had continued, I could have completely torn [the quad] and would have been out for a very long time. I don't think it will even be a month to fully recover...

But while he is on the shelf, he could use this injury as a ploy to get into the good graces of WWE RAW's new star- Mandy Rose.

In fact, did Miz and Morrison not tell Otis that Mandy Rose had already found someone on WWE RAW some time ago? While those may have been mind games, they could have been a reference to Angel Garza and his flirtatious ways as well.

#1 Carmella's new avatar debuts on WWE RAW, confronting the RAW Women's Champion herself- Asuka

Yes, the build has happened on SmackDown but the actual reveal could happen on WWE RAW when Carmella shows up in her new persona. And to ensure that her return is a big one, she can go straight for the big fish- the WWE RAW Women's Champion herself, in Asuka.

Zelina Vega is in the past, because Asuka has conclusively beaten her and now she seeks a new challenger from the WWE RAW locker room. Except for maybe Bianca Belair, she has had a chance to tussle with a lot of the usual suspects in the WWE RAW Women's roster (except for say Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke, who are clearly in the tag team division, right now).

Even if the two women get split up again at the 2020 Draft, there's the groundwork for a feud at some point down the line on either WWE RAW or SmackDown.
