Adam Pearce to make game-changing decision, shock title change - 5 swerves that can happen on WWE RAW ahead of Bash in Berlin
The road to WWE Bash in Berlin will continue on tomorrow night's episode of WWE RAW. The Premium Live Event will air live in Germany on August 31, and a major title match has already been made official on the red brand.
Gunther will be defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Randy Orton. The two stars met in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament earlier this year, and The Ring General picked up a controversial victory. There are three episodes of the red brand left before Bash in Berlin, and the company may have several surprises in store for wrestling fans.
Listed below are five swerves that could happen on WWE RAW before Bash in Berlin at the end of the month.
#5. Bron Breakker could lose the Intercontinental Championship on WWE RAW
Bron Breakker and Sami Zayn have been involved in a rivalry over the Intercontinental Championship on WWE RAW. Sami Zayn defeated the former NXT Champion at Money in the Bank to retain the title but was demolished by the 26-year-old at SummerSlam. Breakker will be defending the Intercontinental Championship against Zayn on this week's episode of RAW in a 2 out of 3 Falls Match.
Sami Zayn pulled off an incredible upset by defeating Gunther to capture the title at WrestleMania XL. He could surprisingly get the better of Breakker on RAW and capture the title once again ahead of Bash in Berlin.
#4. Liv Morgan could break up with Dominik Mysterio
Dominik Mysterio betrayed Rhea Ripley at SummerSlam and helped Liv Morgan retain the Women's World Championship. He then kissed Morgan on the entrance ramp as Ripley was left heartbroken in the ring.
Liv Morgan may quickly grow tired of Dirty Dom now that she has accomplished her goal. The 30-year-old could decide to dump Mysterio in the weeks ahead, leaving The Judgment Day member to regret betraying Ripley at SummerSlam.
#3. Odyssey Jones could betray The New Day
Odyssey Jones was selected by RAW in the 2023 WWE Draft but never got a chance on the main roster. He was selected by the red brand once again during the WWE Draft in April and finally showed up during last Monday's show to help The New Day in their rivalry against The Final Testament.
The 30-year-old helped Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods defeat The Authors of Pain last Monday night in a tag team match. Jones got a great reaction from the WWE Universe and may decide he's too big of a star to be a part of The New Day in the weeks ahead.
#2. Jey Uso could ask to be sent to SmackDown to help Roman Reigns
Jey Uso left The Bloodline behind after he was betrayed by his brother at SummerSlam 2023. Main Event Jey became an indentured servant to Roman Reigns following his loss to The Head of the Table at Hell in a Cell 2020. However, his brother in real life, Solo Sikoa, attempted to make himself the new Tribal Chief during Reigns' hiatus following WrestleMania XL.
Solo Sikoa also ordered a brutal attack on Jimmy Uso after he lost to Jey Uso in a singles match at The Show of Shows. Roman Reigns returned at SummerSlam and cost Solo Sikoa his opportunity to capture the Undisputed WWE Championship from Cody Rhodes.
The Original Tribal Chief also appeared during the final segment of this past Friday's edition of SmackDown and laid out Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, and Solo Sikoa. Jimmy Uso still has not returned to television, but Jey Uso recently hinted in an interview that he could be coming back soon. The 38-year-old could ask to be sent to SmackDown to reunite with the original Bloodline to take down the new version of the group.
#1. Adam Pearce could add major stipulation to World Heavyweight Championship match at Bash in Berlin
Randy Orton showed up on WWE RAW last Monday night and confronted World Heavyweight Champion Gunther. He noted that the 36-year-old beat him in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament and that the match had a controversial finish. Gunther agreed and accepted The Viper's challenge for a World Heavyweight Championship match at Bash in Berlin.
Adam Pearce may want to avoid another finish like their bout at King of the Ring and could announce a major stipulation for the match. The RAW General Manager could make it a Last Man Standing match at Bash in Berlin to ensure that there is not another controversy regarding a pinfall.
