And again, Monday Night Raw chills and thrills.

Of course, a lot of that has to do with Becky Lynch and her continued fight against the authority of WWE, but the rest of the show did an amazing job of making the show feel special as well.

Beyond that, WWE did everything in their power to make sure that fans were hyped for Elimination Chamber, which should have been of utmost importance.

Unfortunately for The WWE Universe, not everything WWE did was of high quality, especially Elias' continued drop down the card.

In fact, a few of the more less interesting segments seemed to show some of the inner workings of the company right now.

With that being said and another historic Monday Night Raw finally in the books, here are five things WWE hinted at during this week's edition.

As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and also be sure to let us know what you thought The WWE was hinting at this week on Raw.


#5 Bobby Lashley retaining The IC title

Will Finn Balor come up short at The Elimination Chamber pay per view?

Believe it or not, and a lot of fans probably don't want to, but Bobby Lashley will most likely walk out of The Elimination Chamber pay per view with The IC title still around his waist.

Of course no one wants to see that happen, but with how interested WWE is in Finn Balor being the underdog and the victim, there is no way The Demon King can win.

Unfortunately for The Balor club, WWE looks to be content with keeping Balor chasing the belt for now and will likely continue to do so until WrestleMania 35 finally roles around.

Again, not the outcome anyone wanted and will probably be very frustrating to watch on Sunday, but if the end result is a IC title win at Mania, fans might want to hold out and see what happens.

#4 WWE losing faith in Drew McIntyre

Is WWE losing faith in Drew McIntyre?

While some people might see that as crazy, especially with how high the company was on just a month ago, WWE has been steadily backing off the pedal when it comes to The Scottish Psychopath and that trend continued on Raw this week.

Interestingly enough, he wasn't even involved in the decision of the six-man tag team match.

Beyond that, a rumour speculated that Vince McMahon's original plan for WrestleMania 35 was for McIntyre to win The Royal Rumble and go on to face Braun Strowman at The Grandest stage of them off, but it seems they have lost faith in that idea.

Furthermore, it feels as if WWE doesn't even know what to do with McIntyre at this point in time.

Maybe things will change as time goes on and WWE finds the best route for McIntyre at WrestleMania, but for now, it feels as if McIntyre is just spinning his wheels.

#3 Bayley and Sasha Banks winning at The Elimination Chamber

The Boss and Hug connection competed in a triple threat tag team match to determine who would enter the elimination chamber match first for Monday Night Raw and things managed to go downhill pretty quickly.

Interestingly enough, WWE seemed to be portraying Bayley and Sasha Banks as the ultimate underdogs throughout the entire thing.

Think about it! Sasha Banks was hauled off by medical officials with another injury, Bayley was screwed out of an almost guaranteed victory and now the team has to start first come Elimination Chamber.

If nothing else, all these things seem to point to Bayley and Sasha being the underdogs and winning the whole thing in the end.

In the end, WWE trying to build an underdog team only to be undercut at the last moment isn't going to be best for business and is something WWE should avoid.

With that being said, Bayley and Sasha Banks absolutely have to win the belts Sunday night at Elimination Chamber or risk the crowd souring on them quickly.

#2 Experimenting with Becky Lynch's character

Becky Lynch is arguably the most intriguing character WWE has right now and seems like they are starting to realize it!

Not only is that evident by Becky Lynch suddenly getting booked in storylines with The McMahon's and beating them down, but also by how the company keeps adding layer after layer to her feud.

With that being said and Becky Lynch starting to interact with a plethora of other Superstars, it seems like this will be a trend with the company going forward.

Who knows! Maybe it could even lead to a high profile feud with Stephanie McMahon at Fastlane before her big match against Rousey at WrestleMania 35.

Either way, WWE has been wondering where exactly to start experimenting and it honestly feels like Lynch's character is a good start.

Beyond that, WWE absolutely needs to continue to do this world building between Rousey and Becky Lynch or risk the main event not living up to its main event worthy status.

#1 WWE not putting Dean Ambrose in The Universal title picture

Let's be honest here.

WWE told fans everything they needed to know the second Dean Ambrose made his way to the ring and wished The Kingslayer luck in his match against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 35.

With that being said, Dean Ambrose losing two matches in a row to EC3 and him seemingly getting lost in the lineup, it's becoming obvious that he won't be apart of The Universal title match.

Beyond that, it is becoming apparent that no matter what Ambrose ends up doing at WrestleMania 35, he will be on the losing end of it.

Not only is that becoming extremely evident by Ambrose' already switching back to a babyface after a white-hot feud with Seth Rollins, but also by how ridiculously one-sided his loses are.

Sure, WWE has let Ambrose show his stuff in his first two matchups with EC3 and even let him get some microphone time out of it as well, but the point here is to build EC3 up at the expense of Dean Ambrose.
