WWE RAW Preview: Big changes in world title picture, Alexa Bliss’ next feud, former champion to betray best friend? (May 17th, 2021)

#5 Big returns on WWE RAW

Fans are excited to see both these WWE Superstars back in action

WWE RAW after WrestleMania Backlash could witness two big returns on the show tonight. We could see someone like Keith Lee return to the Red brand this week. He went off television for medical reasons in February, with the latest rumors suggesting that he is inching closer towards an in-ring return. Lee’s arrival will have an immediate impact on both the WWE Championship and the United States Championship pictures.

Lee had a brilliant start to his main roster career, and he immediately rose through the ranks on WWE RAW. However, his momentum came to an unfortunate halt owing to his prolonged absence. It might take him some time, but Lee can quickly re-establish himself as a huge threat in the locker room upon his return.

Other backstage rumors suggest Aleister Black could also move to WWE RAW. The talented superstar has been off television since last year’s Draft when he was moved to SmackDown. He is now set to make him come back, and he only needs to be a part of a couple of good storylines to remind everyone of his caliber. Both of these arrivals can shake things up on WWE RAW, and it will be interesting to see what’s in store for them on the Red brand.
