WWE legend teases retirement, identity of The Wyatt Sicks’ next victim revealed? - 6 Things that were subtly told on RAW after Bad Blood
The Bad Blood aftermath episode of WWE RAW has just concluded with a tense staredown between Cody Rhodes and Gunther. The Ring General retained his World Heavyweight Championship against Sami Zayn in the main event. With the next premium live event, Crown Jewel 2024, on the horizon, the World Champions are set to collide.
Besides this, Monday Night RAW's storyline has significantly progressed. In this article, we will discuss six key takeaways from the RAW episode following Bad Blood 2024.
#6. CM Punk teased retirement on the recent RAW
One of the major moments fans noticed on tonight's RAW was CM Punk's promo, where the Best in the World hinted at his potential retirement from WWE. This occurred when Punk walked onto the entrance ramp and expressed uncertainty about his future, stating that he has no Hell in a Cell matches left in him.
The Voice of the Voiceless emphasized that he’s completely banged up and unsure of what’s next, which many believe strongly indicates that CM Punk may be considering retirement from WWE.
#5. Another chapter of Punk vs Rollins teased in WWE
Soon after CM Punk’s emotional segment, Seth Rollins went to the ring and engaged in a staredown with the veteran, signaling the unfinished business between the two.
During Rollins' segment, he mocked Punk, stating that as soon as he recovers, The Visionary will kick him out and retire him. The rivalry between Punk and Rollins is far from over, and the WWE Universe could soon witness a new chapter in their long-standing feud.
#4. Bron Breakker is still a heel star
On last week's episode of WWE RAW, Bron Breakker teased a potential babyface turn when he complimented Jey Uso and congratulated him on his title reign. However, in the latest edition of the red brand, Breakker seemingly confirmed that he remained a villainous star when he speared the YEET Master after his match against Xavier Woods.
Uso is currently the Intercontinental Champion, and this attack from Breakker signifies that he is still a heel and is angry about Jey taking the title away from him.
#3. Xavier Woods is just inches away from his heel turn
Over the past few weeks, Xavier Woods has been gradually leaning towards becoming a villainous star, and the latest episode of RAW added further evidence to this shift. After suffering a loss to Jey Uso in an Intercontinental Championship match, Jey offered a handshake as a sign of respect, but Woods refused.
Later, when Bron Breakker attacked Jey after their match, Kofi Kingston was ready to make the save, but Xavier Woods stopped him. These actions suggest that Woods is on the verge of a heel turn, and we are now just inches away.
#2. The Miz could be the next target of Wyatt Sicks on WWE RAW
Miz and Karrion Kross were seen engaged in a backstage conversation during the latest WWE RAW episode. However, a glitch featuring the Wyatt Sicks logo appeared during this, seemingly confirming that the sinister stable's next target could be the A-Lister. Miz is the most likely victim, rather than Karrion Kross, because he recently betrayed R-Truth, his friend and tag team partner.
During the early stages of Wyatt Sicks, Bo Dallas expressed his hatred for people who betray their family and friends for personal gain. This suggests that The Miz could soon become the next prey for the horrific faction.
#1. Ethane Page vs CM Punk might happen soon in WWE
After losing the NXT Championship, Ethan Page made a surprise appearance on tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW. Adam Pearce welcomed him but soon received a complaint from Page about CM Punk costing him the NXT Championship.
In response, the RAW General Manager explained that he had nothing to do with it. The decision was made by Ava, who mocked Ethan by calling him the former NXT Champion.
Meanwhile, the reference to CM Punk attacking Ethan after his match against Trick Williams appears to be teasing that a feud between the two former AEW stars may soon unfold on the Red brand.
