Adam Pearce to suspend former champion & 6 ft 8 in star to return after 4 years? - 6 possible surprises for WWE RAW
Tonight's episode of WWE RAW will feature the fallout from the Clash at the Castle Premium Live Event. It will be hosted by the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas.
So far, WWE has announced Dragon Lee vs. Carlito and Xavier Woods vs. Karrion Kross for the show. The countdown for the arrival of Uncle Howdy and his Wyatt 6 teammates will also seemingly end tonight.
An exciting edition of WWE RAW awaits us tonight, so let's take a look at six possible surprises for the show.
#6. Adam Pearce suspends Bron Breakker
Bron Breakker has been causing chaos on WWE RAW since he was drafted to the red brand in April 2024. The latest star who was absolutely annihilated by the second-generation superstar was Ricochet.
After defeating Ilja Dragunov last week, Breakker tried to spear him through the barricade, but Ricochet came out to make the save. This led to a backstage brawl between The One and Only and Breakker. It was Ricochet's last potential appearance for WWE because Breakker caused an injury that will keep him out of action for an undisclosed amount of time.
WWE RAW General Manager Adam Pearce is unable to control the former NXT Champion, so he could finally take the big decision to suspend him indefinitely from tonight onwards. Pearce may also fine Breakker and demand that he stops wreaking havoc on his brand if he wants to get reinstated.
#5. Chad Gable forms an alliance with The Creed Brothers
Chad Gable suffered another setback at Clash at the Castle as he failed to dethrone Sami Zayn as the Intercontinental Champion. The Master of Alpha Academy was extremely furious after the match and it seems like Otis will suffer the consequences for walking out on him tonight.
WWE RAW has featured segments over the past few months in which Gable was spotted talking to The Creed Brothers backstage, which is clearly an indication that they will join forces. Tonight is the perfect time for WWE to pull the trigger on the formation of the new Alpha Academy.
Gable can have Julius and Brutus Creed brutalize Otis and Akira Tozawa because of the disappointment they have caused him.
After abandoning the current Alpha Academy, Gable can once again go after Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn with his new teammates. This would plant the seeds for a final match between Gable and Zayn at Money in the Bank next month in Toronto, where the former can become the ultimate villain by defeating The Underdog from Underground for the title in his home country.
#4. Liv Morgan exposes Finn Balor for stealing her hotel room key
Liv Morgan has been trying to win over Dominik Mysterio for the past couple of weeks. Last week, she gave him the key to her hotel room, which he refused to use. However, his Judgment Day stablemate Finn Balor probably did.
The key was stolen by The Prince while the group was discussing the Women's World Champion's latest tactic to seduce Dirty Dom.
Dirty Dom and Damian Priest could find out what Balor did on tonight's episode of WWE RAW. They may confront him for it and he may claim that he took the key so that he could go to Morgan's hotel room to tell her to stop approaching The Judgment Day.
This could lead to Morgan showing footage of what actually went down between her and Balor last week, possibly leading to the implosion of The Judgment Day.
#3. Drew McIntyre goes on a rampage on WWE RAW
Drew McIntyre failed to defeat Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at Clash at the Castle because CM Punk appeared as a referee to cost him the match.
After having his dream to become World Champion in his hometown broken by The Best in the World, The Scottish Warrior raged out of the arena. He was seen swearing in anger and even tried to choke Corey Graves.
It is possible that he will demand another title match from Adam Pearce tonight and destroy any superstar who appears in his way. If CM Punk returns to WWE RAW tonight, McIntyre will definitely try to hurt him.
It does not look like McIntyre will be granted a rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship tonight, but he could be given a chance to qualify for the 2024 Men's Money in the Bank Ladder match.
#2. & #1. Erick Rowan returns with Uncle Howdy, Wyatt 6 attack Braun Strowman
Wyatt 6 is seemingly finally set to make its highly anticipated debut tonight on WWE RAW. The group will reportedly be led by Uncle Howdy (Bo Dallas) and will consist of Erick Rowan, Nikki Cross, Dexter Lumis, and Joe Gacy.
The red brand could see the return of Erick Rowan to WWE after he was released in 2020. Dexter Lumis could also make his first appearance in over a year, while Nikki Cross could show up for the first time since November 2023. Moreover, Wyatt 6's debut would also be Joe Gacy's official move to the main roster.
It is possible that the first target of Wyatt 6 is Braun Strowman because the former Universal Champion attacked Bo Dallas in his last WWE TV appearance in 2019. Besides, he also has history with The Wyatt Family and is not involved in any significant storyline currently.
The Monster Among Men has been teaming up with the Latino World Order lately, so Rey Mysterio and his stablemates could also get attacked by the debuting faction.
