5 Biggest things WWE could be planning for Monday Night Raw

After delivering a pretty disappointing episode last week, WWE will be back on our screens with yet another edition of Monday Night Raw.

With FedEx Forum scheduled to host tonight's much-anticipated event, two high-quality matches are advertised to happen, especially the one involving the Intercontinental Championship.

The company has legitimately focused upon Seth Rollins' journey to the top of the food chain, with the Architect vowing to prove his drive and ambition to the Authority.

Considering that he is sharing some serious problems with both Dean Ambrose and Bobby Lashley, tonight's match could really get the best out of Seth Rollins.

Another match announced for tonight involves Ronda Rousey teaming up with Sasha Banks to clash against Nia Jax and Tamina.

Despite the significant appearances that transpired last night to make the show better, will Monday Night Raw deliver anything special tonight? Let's find out.

Here are the 5 biggest things WWE could be planning for Monday Night Raw.

#1 Dean Ambrose and Bobby Lashley gang up to injure Seth Rollins before Intercontinental Championship match

Will the Architect recover in time?

One of the biggest reasons why the fans are invested in seeing Seth Rollins take the fight to Brock Lesnar is because of his relentlessness and the qualities that portray him as an underdog.

Considering that Seth's Road to WrestleMania 35 would be a tough one, his current altercations with Bobby Lashley are only preparing the Architect for a bigger goal.

Vowing to grab his hands back on the Intercontinental Championship could coerce Dean Ambrose and Bobby Lashley to gang up and decimate the Kingslayer beforehand.

A genuine reason why this could work is to present Rollins as a more sympathetic babyface that the fans would love to cheer for.

Despite the attack that might possibly ignite an injury angle for the Architect, going on to give a tough fight to these two competitors would be something exceptional and will definitely protect the former WWE Champion.

While the company might not book Ambrose to look the gold so quickly, presenting Rollins as an injured competitor who is trying everything in his power to prove a point would be pretty interesting and would give the Lunatic a chance to win.

#2 Sasha Banks gracefully taunts and teaches Ronda Rousey how to be wrestler in their tag-team match

This has to get personal

With Sasha Banks now becoming the next challenger for the Raw Women's Championship at the Royal Rumble, the Boss could be looking to set an example this time around.

Since the fans are genuinely excited about how this is all going to pan out, a more legit way of pulling this feud off would be to slowly ignite the fire within Banks before she completely snaps at the Royal Rumble.

Legions of wrestling fans who are enjoying what is transpiring with the women's division are yearning to see Sasha turn heel on Ronda Rousey at the Royal Rumble.

While Banks definitely works well as a heel, her clinical in-ring work could be used as an example to taunt the Raw Women's Champion; starting from tonight.

Considering that both the competitors are scheduled to team up tonight against Nia Jax and Tamina, there's no way these two would defeat them without teasing a possible fallout during the entire bout.

With Banks gracefully taunting Rousey last week, it would be incredible if she continues to teach what is it that makes the Rowdy One less talented than her.

#3 Finn Balor and Apollo Crews test each other's preparations for Royal Rumble in a singles match

This should happen

After making a shocking appearance at NXT UK Takeover: Blackpool, Finn Balor could be looking to light up Monday Night Raw with yet another crowd-pleasing performance.

Another superstar who is still trying to prove his worth to the fans, as well as the management, is Apollo Crews, who is apparently rumored to receive a big push on the red brand.

Considering that he did win the Battle Royal that earned him the right to lock horns with the Intercontinental Champion, Apollo could be looking to test his mettle again.

If the company understands what these two could bring to the table, booking them in a singles match against each other would give the fans something fast-paced on their screens.

Both the competitors have all that it takes to shine on the biggest stage, but a more ideal thing would be to book Apollo Crews to push Finn Balor to his limits.

The aim would be to produce a fantastic match for the viewers, with both competitors trying all they can to gain momentum for the Royal Rumble.

#4 Triple H confronts Bayley and tells her to walk her own path and redesign her destiny

Is it time for Bayley to shine?

Since Sasha Banks is now challenging Ronda Rousey for the Raw Women's Championship, Bayley is left without no legitimate angle to build her up for the Royal Rumble.

Despite the fact that she's one of the most talented female wrestlers on the planet, the former NXT Women's Champion has not received the due she deserves under Vince McMahon.

Considering that the company is promising a fresh start, booking a solid confrontation between Triple H and Bayley would give the fans something fresh on the red brand.

There's no denying that the creative team have been presenting the same type of segments on various occasions, and with the storylines become extremely repetitive, concentrating on Bayley's journey would be something sensational.

The Game vowing Bayley to walk her own path and start fresh could give the fans to view Bayley in a different light, especially after all what has transpired through her entire tenure on the red brand.

With Hunter elevating Bayley under his vision in NXT, he might certainly push the Hugger and bring the best out of her to prepare her for the Royal Rumble.

#5 Drew McIntyre exposes Braun Strowman's weaknesses and vows to be Universal Champion at WrestleMania 35

Time to shape your destiny

Drew McIntyre has become one of the most terrific superstars on Monday Night Raw and is literally carrying the show alongside Seth Rollins.

Considering that he has really transitioned as a threat on the red brand, the Scottish Terminator enjoys brutalizing the locker room and questioning their drive on a regular basis.

While Braun Strowman is still scheduled to lock horns with Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35, McIntyre could still question the Monster Among Men and expose his weakness after he failed to ignite any interest in the Beast Incarnate last week.

There's no denying that last week's segment between Brock Lesnar and the Monster Among Men was one of the most disappointing segments in a long, long time, with Strowman literally forgetting his lines.

Since McIntyre is more about giving others a reality check, he could literally take this opportunity and confront Strowman to question his beliefs and expose his weaknesses.

The former NXT Champion is a solid draw at the moment and stands a legitimate chance to walk out of Chase Field as the Royal Rumble winner.
