NEW DELHI: WWE's Monday Night RAW is gearing up for an action-packed episode at the MVP Arena in Albany, New York, with a considerable surge in ticket sales, boasting over 6,500 fans in attendance, according to WrestleTix on Twitter. While the numbers may be slightly lower than usual, the anticipation is high following last week's explosive events.
Confirmed matches for the evening include a World Heavyweight Championship clash between Seth Rollins and Jey Uso, Drew McIntyre taking on Sami Zayn, and a showdown between Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. The tag team division will also be on full display as Tegan Nox and Natalya face Kayden Carter and Katana Chance, Judgment Day battles The Creed Brothers, and #DIY squares off against Imperium in a 2-out-of-3 Falls Match.
Additionally, Cody Rhodes is set to give his reaction to Shinsuke Nakamura's surprise assault from last week's episode, promising further intrigue for the night.
With such a stacked lineup, fans can expect thrilling action and intense confrontations. However, the nature of WWE often opens the door for surprises, and here are four potential shockers that could unfold on RAW:
1. Jey Uso Captures the World Heavyweight ChampionshipIn the highly anticipated World Heavyweight Championship bout, Jey Uso has the opportunity to dethrone Seth Rollins. A title change would not only be a rare occurrence on a standard weekly show but also inject a new level of excitement into Monday Night RAW.
2. The Authors of Pain Make a Shocking ReturnThe tag team division on RAW has been gaining momentum, and a surprise return by The Authors of Pain (Akam and Rezar) could further shake up the landscape. The powerhouse duo interrupting a major title match or attacking a prominent team would make an immediate impact.
3. Damian Priest Faces Consequences in The Judgment DayTensions within The Judgment Day faction have been brewing, particularly centered around Damian Priest. His recent behavior and attempts to claim leadership could lead to a shocking development – being kicked out of the faction. This unexpected turn could reshape alliances within WWE.
4. Adam Pearce Signs CM Punk to RAWFollowing a setback on SmackDown, RAW General Manager Adam Pearce might aim to regain momentum by making a blockbuster signing. With Randy Orton choosing SmackDown, the stakes are high for Pearce. Signing CM Punk to RAW would not only be a major coup but also a bold move to reassert the red brand's dominance.
