Raw Five-Point Preview: Oct. 26, 2015
At WWE Hell in Cell on the award-winning WWE Network, The Wyatt Family made off with The Undertaker moments after his vicious battle with Brock Lesnar, Alberto Del Rio returned to WWE and captured the United States Title, and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins extinguished Kane’s demonic – and corporate – fire. What does all of this mean for tonight’s Raw?
What does Wyatt want with The Undertaker?
Brock Lesnar triumphed over The Undertaker in their epic final battle inside the demonic Hell in a Cell structure. As big and destructive as this war was, however, what happened after the match was equally, if not more shocking. As the WWE Universe looked on, The Wyatt Family emerged from nowhere and attacked the war-torn Deadman. And as WWE Hell in a Cell went off the air, Bray Wyatt and his disciples took him away … but where?
Why did they do it? What do they want with one of the most legendary Superstars to ever step through the ropes? Does The New Face of Fear somehow think he can make him a part of his horrific fold? Are The Wyatts looking to send another ominous message to the locker room? Could they be looking to strike at the very heart of the iconic Deadman? Perhaps the biggest question is, will we learn the answers to any of these questions tonight on Raw?
¡Viva el Campeón!
Last night on the award-winning WWE Network, Alberto Del Rio floored the WWE Universe, returning alongside Zeb Colter to answer John Cena’s U.S. Open Challenge and capture the coveted title at WWE Hell in a Cell!
As a result, a new champion has risen, and with it many questions. First and foremost, how will the Cenation leader respond to having his prize title ripped away from him? What brought Del Rio back to WWE, and why has he seemingly aligned himself with Colter, a man with a historically different point of view than that of The Essence of Excellence?
WWE.com attempted to get some answers with Del Rio and Colter after the surprise title victory, but was met with a definitive "No comment." Will either have more to say on Raw, tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network?
Who‘s next to spin into contention in the Divas Revolution?
At WWE Hell in a Cell, Charlotte successfully defended her Divas Title against former champion Nikki Bella. What’s more, she did it with Flair.

So, what is next for Charlotte and the Divas Revolution as a whole? Is Paige truly looking to make amends with her Team PCB mates, or is she simply biding her time to make it “all about her” again?
And what of Team B.A.D.? Sasha Banks has made quite a name for herself and her team in recent weeks. The Boss may take decisive action to make herself the next No. 1 contender. Then again, you can’t keep a good Bella down, so we’re also not ready to count out Nikki and company from making a quick and decisive attempt to get back in the running before this week’s Raw comes to a close.
What will happen to WWE without the Director of Operations?
Folks, it may be time to face facts. Like him or hate him, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins continues to find a way to win – including overcoming Demon Kane at WWE Hell in a Cell to reinforce that he is, in fact, “the man.” Moreover, as a result of The Devil’s Favorite Demon’s loss, Corporate Kane has been relieved of his duties as WWE Director of Operations by The Authority.
How will the locker room feel the effects of this dramatic shift of power? Will The Authority choose to play a central role in tonight’s show in order to fill the void? Will they appoint a new Director to replace Kane?
Perhaps the more crucial question is, has the WWE Universe seen the last of the Demonic competitor? Or, by reliving Corporate Kane of his duties, have they made aa bad situation even worse? Find out when Raw emanates from San Diego, tonight on USA Network.
Is Roman ready to reign?
At WrestleMania 31, Roman Reigns came so close to capturing the WWE World Heavyweight Title from Brock Lesnar – and if not for Seth Rollins cashing in his Money in the Bank contract, he might have. Some have argued that perhaps The Big Dog simply wasn’t ready, but following the horrific showdown against Bray Wyatt inside the demonic structure last night on WWE Network, Reigns has literally now gone to Hell and back.
After emerging victorious in the career-altering structure, has Roman Reigns’ trial by fire finally prepared him to climb to the top of the mountain and capture WWE’s top prize? Will he set his sights back on his one-time brother-in-arms, Seth Rollins? Find out tonight on Raw, live on USA Network at 8/7 C!
