Roman Reigns to recruit a monster in his team, big name to quit after loss? 4 predictions for WWE RAW and SmackDown this week
Following a successful edition of Bad Blood, the focus now shifts towards the upcoming episodes of WWE RAW and SmackDown, which will feature all the fallout from the premium live event. The promotion could have some big surprises in store for fans in the new week.
Given several storylines concluded at Bad Blood 2024, the creative team could lay down the breadcrumbs for some new feuds and storylines this week. On top of that, WWE will kick off its build towards its next premium live event, Crown Jewel 2024, on tonight's RAW.
How will things transpire on WWE RAW and SmackDown following Bad Blood? Here are four bold predictions for the upcoming editions of the red and blue brand:
#4. Triple H could suspend Bronson Reed on WWE RAW
Bronson Reed faced Braun Strowman in a Last Monster Standing Match on last week's episode of WWE RAW. However, the match saw the 36-year-old star lay hands on RAW GM Adam Pearce and several other officials.
Given that, the company's Head of Creative, Triple H, could take matters into his own hands. The Game could return on tonight's WWE RAW to suspend Bronson Reed indefinitely. However, a potential suspension may not last long as Reed could return shortly to resume his feud with Seth Rollins.
#3. Drew McIntyre could quit on WWE RAW
Drew McIntyre locked horns with CM Punk inside Hell in a Cell at Bad Blood 2024. However, The Scottish Psychopath failed to prevail over The Second City Saint in the encounter.
Another loss at the hands of his arch-rival may not sit well with McIntyre, and he could show up on tonight's WWE RAW to announce that he is quitting the promotion. However, in reality, this could be done to give The Scottish Psychopath a much-needed break to heal, as he suffered a gruesome injury at Bad Blood 2024.
#2. Kevin Owens could challenge Cody Rhodes
In a shocking twist, Kevin Owens turned heel after the Bad Blood Premium Live Event went off the air. The Prizefighter attacked The American Nightmare in the parking area, which was caught by some fans and quickly became viral on social media.
Given how things unfolded, it seems Owens could be Cody Rhodes' next challenger. This week's episode of WWE SmackDown could see Owens explain his actions before challenging The American Nightmare for his title at Crown Jewel 2024.
#1. Roman Reigns could add Zilla Fatu to his faction
While Jimmy Uso reunited with Roman Reigns at Bad Blood, The Bloodline still holds the numbers advantage over the OTC. Given that, plus the fact that Cody Rhodes will likely be busy with Kevin Owens in the coming days, Reigns could recruit a monster to strengthen his faction.
The Original Tribal Chief could have late great Umaga's son, Zilla Fatu, debut as his new Enforcer. The up-and-coming star previously paid tribute to Roman on social media, and could be a vital addition to The Big Dog's faction.
