WWE RAW after SummerSlam is guaranteed to be a show that a lot more people are watching than usual.
Some thought that SummerSlam 2021 was a bit of a downer, while others believed that WWE did a great job with the pay-per-view. Nobody can deny that with the returns of Becky Lynch and Brock Lesnar and a large number of title changes, that it was significant. This brings us to the fallout episode of RAW after The Biggest Party of the Summer.
Here are five surprises that WWE could book on the show to keep the SummerSlam buzz going. Of course, you can weigh in, in the comments below and voice your opinion on whether you think any of these surprises will enhance the overall product.
Trending
#5 Brock Lesnar surprisingly shows up on RAW and has a showdown with Bobby Lashley
Remember when John Cena came back, he also did a bit of a cameo on RAW to bump up the ratings. Brock Lesnar could operate in the same manner, especially if you consider the fact that Bobby Lashley vs. Brock Lesnar is just as highly-anticipated a match as Lesnar vs. Reigns. Could he show up on RAW and confront the top heel of the brand - Bobby Lashley - only this time as a babyface?
There is no reason at all why someone like Lesnar, who is not affiliated to any brand need not be a free agent, appearing on both brands! In fact, one could even say that RAW needs him far more than SmackDown does. It's definitely the less exciting of the two shows right now.
Neither Lesnar vs. Reigns nor Lesnar vs. Lashley needs to happen right now. Brock Lesnar could disappear for a spell and come back ahead of upcoming events to work both programs.
#4 Goldberg destroys Bobby Lashley allowing Big E to cash in
Goldberg could return on the RAW after SummerSlam because he has a score to settle with Bobby Lashley. It was one thing to defeat the WWE legend in a dominant fashion (well, MVP did help), but for Lashley to lay his hands on his son is unforgivable.
Could Goldberg hit a spear on Bobby Lashley, allowing Big E to make his surprise cash in on RAW? Sure, he's a SmackDown superstar, but he's finally got his contract again, and there wouldn't be a better opportunity for him to cash in!
#3 John Morrison finally turns face on the RAW after SummerSlam
The Miz and John Morrison were booked in arguably the worst segment of SummerSlam, also starring Xavier Woods. Both men need to wipe off the stain of that segment as soon as they can with a far more compelling storyline!
Luckily, the cracks are showing in their partnership already, judging from the fact that Morrison didn't know that The A-Lister could walk again! Could John Morrison turn face and leave The Miz behind for good?
#2 Charlotte Flair's title reign gets interrupted by a demonic presence
Charlotte Flair is the RAW Women's Champion again, and it's clear that she's operating at a level higher than Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H. For her to go back to either of those opponents would be a step in the wrong direction.
The other women's match from RAW on the SummerSlam card featured Alexa Bliss, who picked up a big win over Eva Marie. Could Bliss confront The Queen and make her intentions about the RAW Women's Championship well known?
#1 Elias returns to RAW with a brand new gimmick
Damian Priest could show up on the Red brand to celebrate his big United States Championship win (or National Championship, if you get the drift).
And when he's in the ring, Elias could show up from behind and destroy him. Only this is a new version of him. A more intense iteration than anything we've seen until now.
Are you excited about the new version of Elias? What do you think he'll be like?
