Top RAW News: Iconic former WWE Champion has left the company, Potential future for Wyatt Sicks under Triple H, Roman Reigns to return at MITB?
Welcome to another edition of the top RAW news stories that could have a major impact on the red brand's future. In today's edition, we will look at some major stories revolving around notable superstars, such as former WWE Champion Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre and Bo Dallas.
This week on RAW, we saw the debut of the new faction called the Wyatt Sicks. The group is led by Uncle Howdy, a character portrayed by the late Bray Wyatt's brother Bo Dallas. The group annihilated the RAW roster and has given rise to multiple questions about their future on the red brand.
1) Vince Russo thinks Triple H's booking can ruin Wyatt Sicks
This week on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Legion of RAW podcast, Vince Russo expressed his keenness to see the Wyatt Sicks faction. He argued that if the usual creative team under Triple H handled the booking, the faction would be ruined quickly. Russo suggested that WWE should bring in outside writers or filmmakers to book the faction instead.
''Like who is going to write this? I'm telling you right now, if the wrestling people write this, this is dead in the water in under a month. If literally outside television, horror writers, movie makers write this, I'm all for it. If Triple H writes this, you're gonna have Chad Gable get his revenge on the guy in a freaking bunny suit in three weeks on RAW," said Russo
Triple H has received a mixed response from the fans ever since taking over the creative. While some fans laud his storytelling style, others feel that it is slow and drab. It is not yet known whether or not the Wyatt Sicks will exhibit supernatural characteristics. Whatever the case, the company will have to be careful in booking this new faction on RAW.
2) Drew McIntyre quits WWE on RAW
Drew McIntyre was close to defeating Damian Priest for the World Heavyweight Championship at Clash at the Castle last Saturday. However, his nemesis CM Punk showed up and cost the Scot the match in his home country.
This week on RAW, McIntyre came out to call out Punk but instead chose to leave the company. Here is what he said:
"I can't do this anymore. Scr*w this company, I quit."
Following his exit, there has been a lot of speculation on what could be next for the former WWE Champion. TNA has shared a clip of McIntyre when he debuted for the company in 2015 soon after he announced his exit. With WWE and TNA's new partnership, many feel he might head back to TNA for some time.
3) Roman Reigns could return at Money in the Bank
On the Notsam Wrestling podcast, Sam Roberts speculated about the possibility of Rhodes defeating Sikoa at Money in the Bank, which could lead to Roman Reigns finally confronting his cousin.
He also suggested that this angle might result in Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa ousting The Tribal Chief from The Bloodline, the very group he originally created.
"Solo loses to Cody. That is when the music hits. That is when we see Roman Reigns, once again, and [Roman] Reigns comes to the ring by himself in Las Vegas, no Usos. Paul Heyman is already at ringside with Solo Sikoa,'' said Roberts
The Tribal Chief is currently a free agent. If he returns at MITB and is ousted by The Bloodline, he could officially sign with the red brand and become a mainstay till the feud picks up during WrestleMania season. Reigns has not been seen since he lost the Undisputed WWE Universal Championship to Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 40.
