After a crazy night at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, the WWE heads to the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia for Monday Night RAW.
Bill Goldberg Unlikely To Return To WWE
There was plenty of drama at TLC, especially in a main event where Roman Reigns had his breakout moment as a babyface. There is also a new Intercontinental Champion in the ranks, while every other title stood pat.
Here are five things to watch for on this week's edition of RAW.
Vince McMahon Should Try Anything To Get CM Punk Back
1) Game On
There is sure to be plenty of storyline implications concerning Reigns this week. Though he wasn't booked to capture the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, the leader of the Roman Empire attacked Triple H as TLC went off the air, and WWE.com is selling injuries to "The Game."
"Following Roman Reigns' vicious attack on WWE COO Triple H at the WWE TLC pay-per-view, WWE.com has learned that The Game is being evaluated by WWE medical staff and will be observed overnight," the site reads.
Stephanie McMahon is likely to put Reigns through hell on RAW in defense of her husband this week.
2) Lunatic Champion
Dean Ambrose is the new Intercontinental Champion as he defeated Kevin Owens to win the gold for the first time in his career. The "Lunatic Fringe's" rivalry with the former NXT Champion is far from over though as Owens still has a rematch due to him.
3) Diva Divide
Charlotte continued to take steps toward her father's in-ring style when she once again cheated to defeat Paige and hang onto her WWE Divas Championship. With Paige now losing twice in as many pay-per-views, a new contender is likely to step up to the daughter of the "Dirtiest Player in the Game." With Sasha Banks getting a win on the pre-show and Becky Lynch at odds with her tweener friend, those two could easily become the No. 1 contender.
4) The Leftovers
Following TLC, a lot of WWE Superstars are in limbo. The New Day successfully defeated The Usos and Lucha Dragons in a Ladder Match to retain the WWE Tag Team Championships. The Wyatt Family is usually quick to move on to new feuds and they destroyed Team ECW in a Tables Match. With RAW emanating from Philadelphia, the birthplace of ECW, The Dudley Boyz, Tommy Dreamer and Rhyno may not be finished yet. The League of Nations also got huge wins as Sheamus defeated Reigns in a TLC Match, Alberto Del Rio toppled Jack Swagger in a U.S. Championship Chairs Match and Rusev overcame Ryback, so they'll look for new challengers as well.
5) Ready To Rumble
With TLC closing out the 2015 pay-per-view slate, it's time to look ahead to 2016 and one of the most thrilling events of the year: the Royal Rumble. The WWE may wait until the New Year to announce matches and participants in the 30-man bout, but it could also start the build toward it this week on RAW.
