WWE RAW after Extreme Rules 2021 is a show to watch out for, for a multitude of reasons. There's a big Big E vs. Bobby Lashley match that's been advertised and also, it's the final episode before the upcoming draft, so all the pieces should fall into place over three hours.
Will WWE RAW be the final time that we see all three members of The New Day together? Could AJ Styles and Omos be separated into two different brands after this? What's next for Bobby Lashley?
Feel free to share your thoughts and views in the comments about all of these surprises. Also, let us know which moves should happen in the upcoming draft.

When he came out they announced him with a new nickname.

Listen, how often is it that the babyfaces outnumber the heels? You have three members of The New Day and Bobby Lashley doesn't even have MVP by his side. Chances are that he could recruit someone to stand by his side, and this man is Keith 'Bearcat' Lee.

Lee has been stuck in limbo for a long time now on the WWE RAW roster. Even though he did return to lose to Lashley not long ago, he hasn't been seen since. One has to assume that the new name is him being repackaged for a new role and an alliance with The All Mighty may be just that.
With Keith Lee by his side, Lashley and Lee could take the fight to The New Day and maybe, just maybe, even regain the WWE Championship. Is Big E a transitional Champion? Could he lose his title as early as this week's episode of WWE RAW, with Lee's interference?

Why would Naomi show up on WWE RAW? Well, she's been longing for her big opportunity and unfortunately, Sonya Deville hasn't been too enthusiastic about giving her a chance!
This is why she could certainly show up on the Red brand and go straight for the Queen of the division. Obviously, the match will not come to pass until a later date, which could be a massive stage like Royal Rumble or WrestleMania.
#3 Kofi Kingston turns on Big E
The Champ

So could we see the ultimate heel turn right before the draft? Kofi Kingston turns heel and leaves Big E laying in the middle of a WWE RAW ring! And then, they are split into two separate brands so they cannot face each other until WrestleMania comes around.
Maybe Kingston goes on to win the Royal Rumble and then he challenges Big E at The Show of Shows for the WWE Championship! It would certainly shake things up big time and even make the product a lot more intriguing over the coming months.
#2 Alexa Bliss transforms into a brand new character

Could WWE RAW Superstar Alexa Bliss drop the childish act and transform into a fearsome variant of her doll Lilly? Now that the doll is no more, Bliss could put on a Lilly mask and unleash a brand new attitude.
She could adopt an almost similar gimmick to Finn Balor, who operates at a higher level when he transforms into The Demon! The next encounter between Bliss vs. the current RAW Women's Champion may have a very different outcome.
#1 A new team steps up for the WWE RAW Tag Team Championships
NADIE SE METE CON MI FAMILIA!

Randy Orton and Riddle need a solid tag team to contest against. This may come in the form of Humberto Carrillo and Angel Garza, who came together recently. It is very likely that they have their sights on the WWE RAW Tag Team Titles.
Is it time for the unlikely duo of RK-Bro to implode and for this underrated tag team to get the rub in the process? If not, is there another heel tandem on the roster they could potentially contest against?
