WWE is on the Road to WrestleMania, and with a pit stop at Fast Lane only weeks away the company will be looking to pull out all the stops to get people invested and ensure plans are set up ahead of the company's answer to the Superbowl. With rumors currently all over the internet claiming that Daniel Bryan is set to return on the show, it could turn into a very memorable edition of Monday Night RAW this week.
Returning hero
Rumors have hit the wrestling world after images of former WWE Heavyweight Champion, Daniel Bryan surfaced at the airport on his way to Seattle (tonight's RAW host) and fans have already begun speculating about what this could mean for one of WWE's most popular superstars. According to PWInsider.com Bryan is scheduled to appear on tonights show, which would be a monumental moment, but what role could he play if he does?
There are certainly plenty of options, from getting involved in the World title picture, or starting to feud with wrestlers such as Kevin Owens or AJ Styles who now work on WWE's main roster. But at the same time, it isn't confirmed that he will be wrestling, and for all the WWE Universe knows, Bryan could be announcing his retirement (NO!NO!NO!) or playing a role in Brie Bella's current feud with Charlotte which began last week.
Simply having Bryan appear on the show will be a major deal, and fans will now be clamoring for it to happen, whether it does or not, we will have to wait and see.
Chris Jericho's agenda
Ever since AJ Styles debuted at the Royal Rumble, he has been involved with Chris Jericho. From wrestling inside the Rumble, to beating him on his RAW debut, Styles has had to deal with WWE legend on almost every show, even if it's simply listening to Y2J talk to him, or about him. Which has left many questioning what Jericho's agenda is, and what he wants with the Phenomenal One.
They have a match set for Smackdown this week, after Jericho challenged Styles, but will fans be given some more information as to why he is so obsessed with Styles? It would seem that they are set to head into Fast Lane and have a match, which seems like a smart way to use Styles if it is the case, and a Jericho heel turn may not be too far away.
Unusual Pairings
The past few weeks have seen some, bizarre segments between Goldust and R Truth, as the two WWE veterans seem destined to form a strange alliance and become a tag team. Goldust has been asking Truth to team with him but has been rejected several times, and it's likely that we will see a segment with them again, whether they end up finally teaming up or not will remain to be seen.
One tag team that could be reuniting however, is the Lucha Dragons. After Sin Cara returned to action last week at a house show, the high flying team might be looking to pick up where they left off, chasing the New Day for the Tag Team Championships, or perhaps Sin Cara will appear to level the playing field against the League of Nations, as Alberto Del Rio is set to face Kalisto for the US Championship at Fast Lane.
The Main Event Scene
Of course the main focal point of tonights RAW will be on the upcoming number one contenders match, which is set to main event Fast Lane between Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar, who are all scheduled to appear this evening, and the creative team will be looking to continue pushing them towards the big match.
There has been tension in the air between the brothers, Ambrose and Reigns who will need to be on the same page to deal with the Beast, and that is something fans should expect to see again tonight, as WWE will hope to play on that tension, but after Lesnar's dominant showing last week, can they work together to stop him in his tracks? Or will the Wyatt Family once again prove to be Lesnar's biggest threat.
