WWE RAW: 5 Surprises which could happen at Mick Foley's new title announcement (20 May 2019)

After a blockbuster and shocking conclusion of the Money in the Bank PPV that saw The Beast, Brock Lesnar become the new Mr. Money in the Bank, WWE Universe is excited to witness the fallout RAW episode of MITB tonight. The company has already hyped up the fallout show with a huge announcement during Money in the Bank itself.

The big announcement is that the Hardcore Legend and former RAW General Manager, Mick Foley will be returning tonight. But wait, that is not the main news. The news that has excited all the fans is that Foley will be announcing WWE's Newest Title on the show tonight as well.

While we are speculating as to which title this would be, I'm sure WWE has something huge planned for this segment as it could potentially be the biggest highlight of tonight's show.

In this article, let's take a look at the 5 Surprises which could happen at Mick Foley's new title announcement on RAW tonight. What are your predictions for the new title? Let me know your thoughts and views in the comments section below.

#5 Introduction of the Hardcore Title

This will take the internet by storm!

Mick Foley is a Hardcore legend of WWE. If there is any title that suits him the best, it is the Hardcore title, after all, he was the first Hardcore champion when the belt was first introduced by Mr. McMahon in 1998.

It is only befitting that the Hardcore legend himself reintroduces the modern version of the Hardcore title tonight. In one of my other articles which you can read here, I've explained in detail as to why the title announced tonight by Foley has to be the Hardcore title.

The hardcore title's special stipulation of it being on-the-line 24X7 makes it one of the most interesting titles in WWE history. If WWE indeed reintroduces the Hardcore title tonight, they should definitely let it have the same stipulation of the champion having to defend it anytime, anywhere and against anyone.

While there is a chance of WWE turning this into a comedy title with too many useless and weird champions and title reigns, it has a lot of potentials to give us some great segments and matches as well. It's up to WWE how well they use it.

#4 Lars Sullivan attacking Mick Foley

The Freak has been laying out legends lately!

Mick Foley is the biggest hardcore legend in the history of the business. Even after so many issues with his body and having retired years ago, Foley can still take some insane bumps if he wishes to.

One of the biggest surprises that could happen during the segment could be The Freak, Lars Sullivan interrupting Foley after he announces the championship. Lars can then take him out and let everyone know that he wants the new title, whichever it may be.

#3 The title being defended on the main roster as well as NXT

This would make the new title exciting!

One major announcement that Foley can make on the segment could be that the newest title will be defended on the main roster as well as NXT, the developmental brand.

WWE did tease this with the Women's Tag Team Championships with Sasha Banks and Bayley even appearing on an NXT show to announce that they will defend it against any team from NXT as well, but this never came into reality.

If the title announced tonight is the hardcore championship, it'll be awesome to see an NXT Superstar winning it like Adam Cole, Velveteen Dream, etc.

#2 Return of some lost Superstars

Where are you, Eric Young?

WWE currently faces the problem of an overly stacked roster. With so many superstars in the company, Vince is not able to do proper justice to each one of them and hence many superstars are legit being wasted in WWE.

Some prime examples of this are Eric Young and EC3 who have no direction whatsoever and no one remembers the last time they appeared on TV. The return of some of these superstars and them being announced as the competitors for the newly announced title would be a great way to keep the talent as well as their fans happy.

#1 A unique way to determine the first champion

Could the inaugural champion be crowned in Saudi Arabia?

With a new title, the first question comes who will the first champion be and how will the champion be decided? While the easiest way to do that would be to have a mini-tournament of some superstars and award the championship to the winner of that tournament.

But having a unique way to determine the first champion would hype up the title even more. Last year, we saw Braun Strowman win the Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia and win a trophy and a green belt which has never been seen after that.

With WWE announcing the return of the 50-man Battle Royal at WWE Super ShowDown next month on June 7, why not have it for the newest title. This would increase the stakes of that match as well which last year was just to show-off.

Rather than giving some 8 or 16 superstars the chance to become the first champion of the newly announced title, it would be more amazing to give this chance to 50 superstars and keep fans guessing till the last moment as to who can win it.

Which title do you think will be introduced tonight? Sound off in the comments section with your predictions.
