Wheels in motion for Brock Lesnar’s return, OG Bloodline’s future spoiled? - 5 Things WWE subtly told us on RAW this week
The recent episode of WWE RAW was a taped show for the red brand, but it still left fans buzzing. One of the biggest reasons for this was the subtle hints regarding Brock Lesnar and the confrontation between Jimmy and Jey Uso.
In this article, we will focus on five things the Stamford-based promotion subtly revealed in this week's episode of RAW.
#5. Tiffany Stratton is almost a babyface now
Tiffany Stratton made an appearance on the recent episode of RAW, where she confronted Rhea Ripley for her actions on the last SmackDown. However, Tiffany and Mami were interrupted by Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, which later led to a tag team match between the two pairs. The match ended with a victory for Ripley and Stratton, but it was due to disqualification.
Currently, The Eradicator is a babyface star on RAW, and pairing Tiffany with her is a clear indication that WWE is leaning towards a heroic turn for Tiffany. It seems we are just inches away from a full babyface turn for the Ms. Women's Money in the Bank holder.
#4. Finn Balor and Damian Priest's feud is now on pause on RAW
In a backstage segment with Adam Pearce, Finn Balor demanded another match against Damian Priest from the RAW General Manager. However, Pearce rejected Balor's request, reminding The Judgment Day member of his duties as a World Tag Team Champion. As a result, Adam announced a tag team title tournament to determine the No. 1 contenders for Finn and JD McDonagh.
This segment seems to hint that Priest and Balor's feud is now on pause, but their rivalry is far from over, as they still have unfinished business to settle.
#3. Jey Uso's return to The Bloodline Saga is on the horizon
The Bloodline saga continues to evolve with each passing week, and this week's RAW witnessed a major development. Jimmy Uso appeared backstage and decided to confront Jey Uso. During the segment, Jimmy pleaded with the Yeet Master for a reunion with him and Roman Reigns, but the IC Champion instantly rejected the plea, frustration evident on his face.
However, despite this rejection, a reunion of the original Bloodline seems to be on the horizon, as WWE has announced a Bron Breakker vs. Jey Uso Intercontinental title match for next week.
Following this week's hint of Jey potentially returning to The Bloodline, if the Yeet Master loses the title next week, a return to the faction seems almost certain.
#2. Wheels in motion for the return of Brock Lesnar
The two references to Brock Lesnar on the recent episode of RAW have kept fans buzzing about this week's Monday Night show. One reference was made by Seth Rollins during a backstage segment with Adam Pearce, while another came from Cody Rhodes.
These references primarily included Lesnar's nicknames, with Seth referring to himself as The Beast Slayer and Rhodes stating that he had already "slain a frightening beast."
These mentions have led fans to believe that Brock Lesnar’s return to WWE is imminent and that the wheels for his comeback are already in motion.
#1. A reunion of The Usos is also in the process
As the reunion of Jey Uso with the original Bloodline seems imminent, it also subtly suggests that a reunion of The Usos as a tag team is in the works. Jey and Jimmy Uso have already had numerous historic tag team title reigns in WWE. Once the Yeet Master returns to the OG Bloodline, Jey and Jimmy might reunite as The Usos to take on the Solo Sikoa-led faction.
Additionally, with Tama Tonga and Tonga Loa currently holding the Tag Team titles, this could mean that The Usos may aim to win those titles when Jey returns to the OG Bloodline.
