Former WWE Champion to announce retirement; The New Day to implode? — 4 possible endings to WWE RAW tonight
Tonight's Monday Night RAW will see the aftermath of the Survivor Series: WarGames Premium Live Event. With the PLE in the rear-view mirror, several fresh feuds and storylines are expected to kick off. The show will air live from the Angel of The Winds Arena, in Everett, Washington, and WWE has advertised several exciting segments and matches.
However, the highlight of the evening is expected to be the main event, where a major surprise could shake things up. From a former WWE Champion announcing his retirement to the potential implosion of The New Day, the company has plenty of ways to deliver an unforgettable conclusion. The show might go off the air with fans left in shock and disbelief.
Let's look at four possible endings for the upcoming edition of Monday Night RAW:
#4. Seth Rollins could unleash a backstage assault on CM Punk
CM Punk and Seth Rollins have been at loggerheads for the past year in WWE. Recently, The Best in the World teamed up with Roman Reigns and The OG Bloodline at Survivor Series: WarGames, a move that may not have sat well with Rollins. As a result, The Visionary could unleash his fury on Punk tonight.
During the closing moments of RAW, WWE could show live backstage video footage in which Seth Rollins could be seen launching a brutal backstage assault on CM Punk. As the WWE Universe watches in shock on the titantron, Punk could be left battered and bruised. Adam Pearce could be seen rushing to the scene with a horde of security personnel as the show goes off the air.
This scenario could provide a dramatic end to the night, reigniting the bitter feud between Seth Rollins and CM Punk.
#3. A wild brawl might erupt between Gunther, Damian Priest, and Finn Balor
At Survivor Series: WarGames, Gunther defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Damian Priest with unexpected help from Finn Balor. However, The Ring General was not happy with The Judgment Day member interfering in the bout. As a result, he replied to the latter by kicking him into the barricade in the middle of the match
During the main event of RAW tonight, Balor could confront Gunther in the ring and challenge him for the World Heavyweight Championship. Soon after, Damian Priest might interrupt the segment. An angry Priest could storm into the ring and unleash his wrath on The Prince. This could turn into a wild brawl with the Imperium leader getting involved in the mix.
This explosive confrontation might also pave the way for a future potential Triple Threat match involving Gunther, Damian Priest, and Finn Balor battling for the World Heavyweight Championship.
#2. Big E could announce his retirement from in-ring action
Tonight's RAW is going to feature The New Day's 10-year anniversary celebration where Big E is expected to return and reunite with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. This is expected to be the main event of the show. During the special segment, Big E could address the WWE Universe and deliver a heartfelt announcement about the future of his in-ring career.
The former WWE Champion could reveal that he will never be able to lace up his wrestling boots again due to his medical condition. Big E could state that he is retiring from in-ring action, leaving the entire arena in a somber silence and melancholy. The show might conclude with all three members of The New Day embracing each other as the camera fades to black.
This segment could mark the end of Big E's wrestling career and close out the show. Besides, the former WWE Champion has been struggling with his neck issues for more than two years, making his retirement seemingly imminent.
#1. Xavier Woods could snap and attack Kofi Kingston
Tonight, we could also witness the end of The New Day. Tensions have been building between Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston for months, and those frustrations may finally boil over tonight. During The New Day's 10th anniversary celebrations, Big E could step in to try and resolve the growing rift between his two best friends.
Just when it would look like things have finally settled, Woods could shock everyone by turning on both of his stablemates. The former King of the Ring could snap and launch a brutal attack on Kofi and Big E in the main event. Xavier Woods could decimate both his stablemates in the ring and stand tall over their carcass with the camera panning out.
The WWE Universe could be left stunned to see the implosion of The New Day and the ruthless side of Woods.
