#2 Becky Lynch finally has a worthwhile challenger for her Raw Women's Championship

With all due respect to Natalya and Lacey Evans, since Becky Lynch lost the SmackDown Women's Championship, she hasn't had many great challengers for the Raw Women's Championship. She has lost all her momentum and the match her average match against Natalya on SummerSlam was a testament to it.

Hopefully, a returning heel Sasha Banks will provide the much-needed eyeballs to the Raw Women's Championship title picture. The Boss has always been a brilliant heel since her NXT days and the WWE Universe has been rooting for her return. Lynch vs Banks has the PPV main event written all over it and the WWE fans are in for an absolute treat.

#1 Braun Strowman will either form an alliance with Seth Rollins or will challenge him

In the main event on Raw this week, we saw the OC along with AJ Styles beating the hell out of Seth Rollins before Braun Strowman came to the rescue of the champion and shook hands with him afterward. This could either be a hint that Strowman is forming an alliance with Rollins or he is going to be the next challenger for the Universal Championship.

Heyman confirmed that Lesnar isn't getting her rematch, so we are definitely getting a new challenger for Rollins' gold and if this week's Raw is anything to go by, the most likely new challenger seems to be Strowman. Whether Vince McMahon and Heyman would go for a face vs face match, only time will tell.
