Projection for WWE Raw post Hell in a Cell

Hell In A Cell’s main event matches have been booked so well over the past few months that it feels like a culmination for Orton & Drew, but who leaves Sunday night as champion? I’m projecting Raw with Drew as champion heading in to Survivor Series as Orton faces his best feud….The Undertaker’s true in ring sendoff 30 years after he debuted. Asuka needs a valid challenger but could it be in the form of Naomi who could join The Hurt Business or will they wait until post Survivor series? Does an invasion happen from other brands or is that too many bodies in a COVID era. Lots to answer on RAW but post shows are always special.

I can never say enough positive things about NXT and this past week was the same. A weekly edition but a go home show also. Is it time to shake up the title picture? Will the power couple of Candice & Johnny Gargano take gold on the Spin the wheel make a deal Halloween Havoc special? Lets have another scathing promo from Pat McAfee as we look towards the next takeover and what next for Balor? I’m buzzing for next week already!

WWE Smackdown On Fox Post WWE Hell in a Cell

Next week could bring new champions, Perhaps likely that Sasha walks in to the blue brand next week with gold, however Survivor Series is around the corner. I predict Bayley retains somehow, someway on Sunday. Roman will arrive with the universal title but in what capacity will Jey & jimmy Uso arrive in? Together or will Jimmy be flanking his cousin after a shocking heel turn on Sunday.

Let’s begin putting together a Survivor Series match with KO/Owens & Zayn all vying to be team captain. Bianca will once again show her authority but will meet her match in Carmella to start her first main feud.
