One of the biggest conversations in wrestling in 2026 has been how ads are ruining the WWE product – but that criticism has usually been focused on the sheer amount of ads and their placement in the show.

However, there might be another couple of knock-on effects that are now causing more problems.

Fans are getting frustrated with WWE & Netflix

For the past few months, but the past few weeks especially, fans have started noticing elements of WWE shows being censored quite heavily by Netflix.

This has included things like wrestlers’ bloody faces being blurred out, or camera cuts like last week when Jaida Parker ran over Jacob Fatu with a car.

These things are usually shown uncensored live, with the exception of a few occasions where they’re highlights/replays shown as being from ‘earlier in the day’ instead of being presented as ‘live.’

This has been especially magnified over the past few weeks with the top storyline on WWE Raw focused on the warfare between the 946 and the Bloodline, which has included bloody attacks, a kidnapping, arson, and a hit and run.

Considering this is supposed to be the top storyline on the show, it’s disappointing that viewers watching live are getting such a watered-down experience due to the heavy censorship – but why might that be?

Is the on-demand viewing experience being tanked on purpose?

Well, one possible reason is that it’s a ploy to encourage live viewing. If WWE and Netflix can kind of purposely tank the on-demand viewing experience, they might think it’ll convince more viewers to watch live instead.

And why would they do that? The key thing here is that ads are unskippable when watching it live – because believe it or not, you can’t skip forward something that’s live – so you’re forced to sit through all the ads. When you’re watching on-demand, you can just skip over the ads… and there are a lot to skip over.

So that’s one reason ads and money might be the reason, but there’s another as well.

Sponsors might have an issue…

Netflix might be concerned that companies aren’t going to want to run ads during WWE Raw if the product isn’t appropriate for as many viewers as possible, and has as low of an age rating as possible.

If a company says to Netflix, “We’d have paid x amount of money to run ads during Raw, but we’re not because we don’t want our product associated with the blood or language or whatever it is,” Netflix is probably going to want to solve that by making the product more appropriate for the advertisers.

There is another possibility too, which is that Netflix is providing a global version of Raw, and as such, it has to adhere to the strictest regional guidelines – as opposed to serving different versions to different regions.

Some fans had unfairly and over-optimistically convinced themselves and each other that the move to Netflix was going to lead to the return of the ‘Attitude Era,’ which was never truly going to be the case in today’s day and age – WWE is just past the point of ever doing that.

It is, however, a little disappointing that we’ve gone so far in the opposite direction, and things are actually more censored now than they were pre-Netflix.

That is kind of just the way of the world now though, so perhaps that has something to do with it as well.

Days out from WWE Money in the Bank, Roman Reigns returns on the October 5 episode of Raw, and he will potentially address both situations, according to general manager Adam Pearce.

LA Knight has made his feelings towards stars the caliber of Roman Reigns, and the politics within WWE, clear over past weeks, setting out his intention to claim the top title at Money in the Bank.

Elsewhere, Royce Keys had led The 946 into an era of aggression the likes of which The Bloodline has never seen, with attacks, abductions and, most recently, Jaida Parker debuting and using a car to take out Jacob Fatu.

There may be a lot on the mind of Roman Reigns, but there also no doubt questions that need to be answered:

LA Knight and the World Heavyweight Championship

LA Knight has been a star on the cusp of championships for far too long in WWE, and it appears that the star is feeling the weight of that potential as he approaches Money in the Bank and his match against Roman Reigns.

Knight’s attitude towards the challenge ahead has been singular in focus, knowing what Reigns presents as a star, let alone one with a championship.

Having defeated CM Punk for the title at WrestleMania 42 in April, Reigns has successfully defended it four times, with two victories over Jacob Fatu (at Backlash and Clash in Italy), one over Seth Rollins (at SummerSlam) and his most recent outing being against Penta on the Mexico episode of WWE Raw.

There are plenty of arguments to be made that the World Heavyweight Championship would see more action in the hands of a full-time star, although The OTC does bring his own prestige to the prize.

The 946 & The Bloodline

Since August of this year, Royce Keys, Bronco Nima and Lucien Price have been The 946, with Jaida Parker now a member of the faction.

LA Knight hasn’t been free of their purpose, although The Bloodline appear to be their primary target, with SmackDown recently feeling their wrath and Cody Rhodes assisting The Usos to drive them off.

Attacks, abductions and the aforementioned car incident all set The 946 up as a major threat for The Bloodline.

Unanswered questions

Roman Reigns was always going be a factor on television ahead of his own match at any given WWE PLE, but surely there will be questions as to why he was absent during previous weeks and what went down with his family and The 946, particularly the abduction and car incident!

Reigns is a part-time WWE star and has previously discussed his potential retirement, saying “almost there, but not yet“. There is still value to The OTC as a star attraction, and opportunities alter the balance when it comes to the top spot through Knight and The 946.

That appears to be on the horizon with Ethan Page, but should “All Ego” fail to wrestle the IC Title off of Gable, there may be a number of new faces on Raw waiting to do what he couldn’t.

Here are three potential new WWE Raw stars to win the Intercontinental Championship:

Tony D’Angelo

Tony D’Angelo has been a part of WWE NXT since the Fall of 2021

With three weeks now passing since Tony D’Angelo’s last match on WWE NXT, many fans will be hoping to see the 31-year-old finally get his shot on the main roster in the coming weeks.

There has been little word on this happening, but there is certainly room in the mid-cards of both Raw and SmackDown for Tony D.

If WWE want to immediately establish D’Angelo on main roster they could do one, or both of the following things: a) mention that he defeated Oba Femi twice in NXT, or b) have him immediately win a championship.

The Intercontinental Title is among WWE’s most coveted championships and D’Angelo holding it would provide him the launchpad for more success in the future.

Carmelo Hayes

Unlike his NXT 2.0. alum mentioned above, Carmelo Hayes made it out of the WWE Performance Center, but it’s hard to say whether he’s been better off for it.

His United States Title run was a true highlight and it appeared like it was going to be there prelude to a star-making 2026. However, quite the opposite has proven to be true as Hayes has fallen into obscurity since losing the belt to Sami Zayn back in March.

A change is required for Hayes and switching to Raw may be the best way for WWE to breathe new life into his character. Raw would also give Hayes the chance to mix it up with some of the best in-ring talents WWE has to offer like Dragon Lee and of course Chad Gable.

Gable vs. Hayes would be a barn burner for sure and they could easily put on a best of seven series for the IC Title much like Hayes and Andrade did on SmackDown in 2024.

Lexis King

More of a left-field pick to finish with, but Lexis King is another name with all the attributes of a future mid-card heel champion on the main roster.

King has really come into his own on NXT since forming BirthRight, and the faction has real potential to sustain their success on Raw or SmackDown when the time comes.

If that time is to arrive sooner rather than later, King could exploit Gable’s willingness to take on all comers to get a title opportunity upon his Raw debut, and then use the numbers advantage of BirthRight to pull of a massive upset win.

We have often seen stars swap brands by way of their Money in the Bank cash-ins – with last year being the most recent example as Naomi jumped from SmackDown to Raw to claim the Women’s World Championship.

We could certainly see something like that happen again this year, but the Money in the Bank winner may not be the only name to change allegiance from red to blue.

Here are three WWE Raw stars that could join SmackDown after Money in the Bank 2026:

IYO SKY

IYO SKY came up short against Liv Morgan at WWE SummerSlam

After what was arguably a career-best year in 2025, IYO SKY has suffered several setbacks in 2026 and failed to reach the same level of success.

Most obviously, “The Genius of the Sky” has yet to recapture the Women’s World Championship that she lost to Naomi via the aforementioned Money in the Bank cash-in at WWE Evolution in July 2025. She also failed to even make it onto the WrestleMania 42 card, which is still a curious decision.

That’s not to say her year has been a complete bust though; a Queen of the Ring win and Women’s Tag Team Title run with Rhea Ripley shouldn’t be swept under the rug, however, it’s hard to not see it as a disappointment overall.

A move to SmackDown may help freshen things up for SKY, and, crucially it would put her back on the same brand as Ripley. While “The Eradicator” is still out of action with her knee injury, fans haven’t stopped fantasy booking another match between the two for the WWE Women’s Title at WrestleMania 43, and if SKY makes he jump to SmackDown we could see that happen.

Seth Rollins

It has now been two months since Seth Rollins last appeared on WWE programming. “The Visionary” isn’t injured, as he competed during last month’s South American tour, so, the absence appears to be entirely down to a lack of creative plans.

Given that Rollins has already feuded with both Roman Reigns and The Vision this year, it is, admittedly quite tricky to see where his next feud comes from on WWE Raw without treading old water.

A move to SmackDown would resolve this. Sure, there are a lot of familiar faces for Rollins on SmackDown as well, but they’re not quite as fresh in the memory as his options on Raw.

The main event scene is stacked on the blue brand however, so WWE should probably look to trade someone to Raw to avoid the roster getting even more imbalanced than it already is.

Penta

After less than two years in WWE, Penta established himself as a genuine world championship contender when he took Roman Reigns to the limit in Mexico City on the September 14 WWE Raw.

Following this performance Penta is reportedly stepping into his second Money in the Bank ladder match as the “heavy favorite” to take home the briefcase in New Orleans.

While Penta was previously dead set on challenging “The OTC” once again for the World Heavyweight Title, on this past Friday’s SmackDown, he confirmed that Undisputed WWE Champion Sami Zayn was also on his radar.

Reigns is unlikely to lose his title before inevitably facing Oba Femi at WrestleMania 43, but the Undisputed WWE Title picture is far more open – as has been proven this year with five title changes in total. So, if Penta succeeds in becoming Mr. Money in the Bank he should strongly consider jumping to SmackDown full-time and cashing in on whoever is holding the Undisputed WWE Title.

Not only did she merely join the group, she did so by running over The Bloodline’s Jacob Fatu; yet another violent way for 946 to remind everyone that “nobody’s safe.”

With the group more dangerous than ever, and The Bloodline reeling and on the back foot, now would be the perfect time for Royce Keys to add yet another name to 946.

Here are three names that could be revealed as 946’s fifth member on WWE Raw:

Saquon Shugars

Saquon Shugars was removed from DarkState in May following an NXT Tag Team Championship defeat

With Jaida Parker making the jump from NXT to Raw to join 946, could we see yet another new recruit rise from the WWE Performance Center?

When looking at the NXT roster, Saquon Shugars has the grit that makes him feel like the most natural fit for 946 if they are on the lookout for a fifth man.

Shugars is also now without a family to call his own in WWE having been kicked out of Darkstate earlier this year.

While WWE may want him to continue as a babyface on the NXT brand for a little longer, Shugars is most certainly ready for the bigger stage and would not look out of place in 946.

Jey Uso

Since 946 first emerged the big question has been will Jacob Fatu turn his back on The Bloodline in order to join up with his old friend Royce Keys? Well, it’s probably safe to say after the events of last week that Fatu is no longer being looked at as a potential traitor.

No, instead, all finger pointing will instead be directed toward Jey Uso. Why you ask? Jaida Parker.

Jey Uso’s reaction to seeing Parker first emerge from her car on WWE Raw told the full story (see above), now there is extra emotional weight added to the situation given their relationship outside WWE.

Parker running over his cousin should, realistically be enough for Jey to draw the line and put those feelings to the side, but it may not be that simple. Parker convincing Jey to side with 946 over his own family would be a monumental moment in the war between the two sides and could ensure that 946 topple The Bloodline for good.

Cruz Montana

Given that he’s only just getting started on NXT, it’s probably unlikely Cruz Montana joins up with 946 just yet, but he should certainly be looked at as a potential future member of the group.

Montana has that same toughness that 946 will be looking for in new members and he would fit like a glove alongside Keys, Bronco Nima, Lucien Price and Jaida Parker.

Moving from NXT to main roster is often tricky, but as we’ve already seen with Parker and OTM, doing so in a high profile faction angle certainly can get you off to a very strong start.

Montana could certainly succeed on his own two feet, but arriving with 946 will ensure that he’s featured prominently, rather than being lost in the shuffle as so many are once being called up.

While five is the number WWE typically land on for premium live events outside of your WrestleManias and SummerSlams, they have oftentimes upped that total to six on occasion.

The card is already very Raw heavy, but there are still several bouts that Adam Pearce could potentially announce tonight’s go-home episode.

Here are three possibilities for the final match announced for WWE Money in the Bank 2026:

WWE Intercontinental Championship – Chad Gable (c) vs. Ethan Page

While he’s certainly had some tough titles defenses against the likes of Rey Mysterio and Dragon Lee, Chad Gable has yet to really lock into a true rivalry for his Intercontinental Championship since winning it at SummerSlam.

“All Ego” Ethan Page is looking to bring an end to all the niceties however, as, for several weeks now he has been angling for another opportunity to earn a shot at Gable’s title.

He will seemingly get that tonight on Raw when he takes on AAA Crusierweight Champion Rey Fenix, with a win for Page likely positioning him as the next number one contender for the IC Title.

Gable vs. Page would be a potential show stealer in New Orleans and both men deserve the opportunity to showcase WWE’s workhorse championship on the PLE stage.

Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria

One of the most heated feuds in WWE in the second half of 2026 has been Bayley vs. Lyra Valkryia.

Valkyria holds two wins over Bayley, but as seen on last week’s Raw, “The Role Model” is far from done with the inaugural Women’s Intercontinental Champion.

A rare stipulation is being reported to be under consideration for Bayley and Valkyria’s big blowoff match, and speculation has been rife among fans that we could be set to see Hair vs. Hair or perhaps even a Loser Leaves WWE match, considering the questions surrounding Bayley’s future in the company.

If WWE are planning to go all out with the stipulation they’d be wise to book it on an event where it can breathe a little more as Money in the Bank’s card is quite packed. But, it certainly is an option if WWE want to give the fans inside the Smoothie King Center their money’s worth.

Solo Sikoa vs. Royce Keys

We have yet to see the 946 compete in any matches since they came together in late August, with Royce Keys, OTM and now Jaida Parker instead committing arson, kidnapping, assault and most recently attempted murder.

This is all fair game in the WWE as we all know, but eventually we’re going to have to see at least one of their members step inside the ring and stand opposite someone from The Bloodline.

While he is not an official Bloodline member anymore, Solo Sikoa has as big of a reason as anyone for some revenge after being kidnapped by OTM on the September 21 episode of Raw. After being absent from last week’s show (September 28), we could see Sikoa return tonight on Raw and lay down a challenge to Royce Keys for Money in the Bank.

With The Usos in his corner, Sikoa can attempt (but likely fail) to put Keys down and force 946 on the back foot for the first time and provide The Bloodline the chance to get some momentum back on a crucial night for the family in New Orleans.

McIntyre has been away filming numerous upcoming Hollywood roles, though he is reportedly expected to make his return soon.

Seth Rollins has also been off WWE television recently, not appearing since he lost to Roman Reigns at SummerSlam, though he has been appearing at live events.

With both men likely on their way back soon, WWE should make a blockbuster trade between the two brands.

Drew McIntyre on Raw

Monday Night Raw is currently Bloodline country, with Roman Reigns running the show alongside his cousins like it’s 2022 all over again.

While the Bloodline have a very long list of enemies, on who stands almost alone at the top is Drew McIntyre, who has made hating the Bloodline his entire personality since he was screwed back at Clash at the Castle in Cardiff in 2022.

Moving Drew over to the Raw roster would be an obvious play upon his return, as he would be a natural fit into whatever storyline the Bloodline will have going into War Games this year, likely against the 946 and any potential allies they may find along the way.

Plus, with the Bloodline now floating between babyface and heel almost weekly, Drew would get the chance to play the babyface against them again on occasion.

Seth Rollins on SmackDown

Meanwhile, with the Vision storyline falling apart and things with he and Roman wrapped up, there is not an obvious place for Seth Rollins on Raw right now.

SmackDown has a thriving main event scene, with several names chasing Sami Zayn’s WWE Championship, including CM Punk, Kevin Owens, Gunther, Finn Balor and Randy Orton.

Rollins has a lot of history with all the men involved, and he would slide straight into the picture as another key name looking to become champion heading in to the end of the year.

Furthermore, the possibility of Rollins potentially aligning with Kevin Owens due to their hatred of CM Punk and causing chaos as a partnership similar to how they were back in early 2022 would make for incredible television, as the pair had great chemistry together.

Rollins moving to SmackDown would likely also open the door to Becky Lynch doing the same, potentially setting up a future rematch with Rhea Ripley down the line.

Grayson Waller returned to NXT on July 28, making his feelings about his time on the main roster clear while being critical of the men’s roster on the Tuesday night show.

He isn’t the only main roster star to have made the move to NXT, with Nattie having been a feature of the roster since June, leading Karmen Petrovic, Layla Diggs & Nikkita Lyons.

With opportunities to shine and shape the stars of the future in NXT, more main roster names could make the move:

Fraxiom

The team of Nathan Frazer and Axiom returned to NXT for the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, defeating Osiris Griffin and Cutler James of DarkState.

After the match, Frazer hinted that things hadn’t been as good as they could have been on the main roster, saying:

“It has been a tough transition going up there. Down here, we were kind of like the big fish in a small pond, per se. Going up there, to shark-infested waters, it’s almost like we’re learning to swim again.”

Axiom would take exception to the suggestion, becoming the hothead that Frazer usually is, although things are apparently fine between the tag team.

Two-time NXT Tag Team Champions, Fraxiom were called up to the main roster in April 2025, and there is certainly an argument to be made that their talents would be better showcased on the Tuesday night show and over in AAA, somewhere that Axiom has become familiar with this year.

Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate

Known on the main roster and over in AAA as Rayo Americano & Bravo Americano, Los Americanos recently competed in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, losing to the team of Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno.

While Los Americanos continues to be a popular faction in its own right, there is an opportunity to exploit the talents of Pete Dunne and Tyler Bate for the benefit of the NXT roster. Both veterans of the professional wrestling business, Dunne and Bate have had their fair share of action since signing with WWE, with multiple championships between them. Dunne also has valuable experience through his ongoing role as a producer.

Bringing New Catch Republic to NXT would offer much to the roster with Dunne’s stripped-back style blending with Bate’s flair. It wouldn’t mean an end to Los Americanos, with many ways for them to still feature on NXT, as well as continuing their work on the main roster.

Jaida Parker

Having only just moved to the main roster, aligning with The 946 in their ongoing feud with The Bloodline, it’s unlikely that Jaida Parker would make a long-term move back to NXT, but she could serve a purpose there.

Under the leadership of Royce Keys, The 946 are a threat to The Bloodline and will no doubt want to expand their numbers to combat the dwindling resources at the disposal of Roman Reigns. What better way for The 946 to grow than by poaching stars from NXT.

Parker on a recruitment drive, dropping by just to see how things are going in her former stomping ground, only to leave with a few unidentified stars in the sort of car she recently drove into Jacob Fatu would be quite the statement.

It’s no longer a ‘demotion’

NXT may be WWE’s third brand, but there is an argument that a move from Raw or SmackDown isn’t a ‘demotion’ so much as a new way to work.

For experienced stars, it gives them new opponents, a chance to freshen up their presentation, and an opportunity to elevate newer names, readying them for that much-sought-after main roster run.

While his opponent Dragon Lee is someone deserving of a big win after suffering several key losses himself, Cass’ failure to put away the smaller star is yet another setback for someone who desperately needs some momentum right now.

Ultimately despite the first two months of this run being far from ideal, there is plenty of time for WWE to course correct and re-establish Cass as a force to be reckoned with in WWE.

Here are three potential plans for Big Cass after his latest WWE loss.

Destroy Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio on Raw

The most obvious course correction WWE can do with Big Cass is by having him simply wreck shop next week in response to this latest loss.

Dragon Lee should be the primary target, but by also attacking Lee’s mentor Rey Mysterio, Cass can get a greater amount of heat from the WWE fans and start up a rivalry with one of the all-time greats.

The list of victims may not end there either; Chad Gable, Rey Fenix and many others should fall under Cass’ giant feet as he reestablishes himself as a monster to be feared.

Start a new tag team

In targeting some of WWE Raw’s mid card babyfaces, Cass could also find himself gaining favor from some of the heel presences in the locker room.

For example, if Cass targeted Chad Gable then someone like Ethan Page would likely be very grateful; attack Rey Mysterio and Dominik Mysterio would be overjoyed.

Throughout his career Cass has been best utilized in a tag team with a smaller star and WWE should potentially find him a brash heel to be paired with, rather than languish on his own.

Perhaps the perfect candidate is someone Cass knows very well: Ricky Saints on SmackDown. Saints and Cass held the AEW World Tag Team Title together in late 2023/early 2024, and it proved to be a mutually beneficial partnership. With both men struggling somewhat in WWE, the company should reunite them and boost their tag division in the process.

Reunite with Enzo Amore

While a reunion with Ricky Saints would be a popular one, it wouldn’t hold a candle to the reaction if Cass came back together with Enzo Amore.

Enzo and Cass were one of WWE’s most popular double acts of the 2010s across NXT and main roster, but their run together was also far too short lived.

After just a year by each other’s side, WWE made the decision to split the pair up and turn Cass heel. By the following year they were both gone from the company.

With Cass now re-signed with WWE and Enzo available to be signed (if he hasn’t already), this one truly is a no brainer.

At the time of writing it is unclear when their deals both expire exactly, but while Dralistico hasn’t been seen on AEW programming since early June, Dragon Lee is being used every single week on Raw and is often putting in match of the night performances when he’s inside the ring.

Following up on his impressive showings against Chad Gable in Mexico City and his three-way against Penta and Dominik Mysterio, Dragon Lee pulled off a big upset win over Big Cass on last night’s Monday Night Raw.

While Cass hasn’t exactly been booked overly strong since his return, it was still a monumental upset on paper given that massive size difference between the two stars, and the crowd in Milwaukee popped big for Dragon Lee scoring the win.

Lee has, in general been getting louder fan support in recent weeks and it appears as if Rey Mysterio’s prediction of the 31-year-old being “the future of lucha libre in WWE” may be coming to fruition – if he stays with the company of course.

Would Dragon Lee be used better in AEW?

As mentioned, Dragon Lee is rarely ever not featured on an episode of Monday Night Raw, and he’s also been a semi-regular visitor of AAA since WWE purchased the promotion last year.

While Lee could certainly do with winning more matches, there are many stars in worse creative positions right now. So, when analysing his options outside WWE – namely AEW – it’s hard to see how they could use him much better right now.

Not every situation is the same, but one must also take a look at AEW’s usage of Lee’s brothers Rush and Dralistico since they signed with the company in 2022 and 2023 respectively.

As mentioned, Dralistico hasn’t wrestled on AEW TV since June, but when he has, it has mostly been on the company’s secondary show Collision, rather than Dynamite – or failing that ROH TV.

Rush has been used far more prominently – even challenging MJF for the AEW World Title back in June – but he also hasn’t been seen in over two months and missed out on the All In London card for the fourth straight year in August.

Again, you can’t say for sure that Lee wouldn’t be booked strong by AEW if he signed, but his brothers’ booking certainly doesn’t inspire confidence.

A recent indication of WWE’s stance on Dragon Lee’s future

In a recent WWE YouTube vlog (see below), Triple H was seen speaking with Dragon Lee backstage after he delivered his breathtaking suicide dive table spot on the September 14 WWE Raw.

The WWE CCO asked Lee to only use the move sparingly because he needs him here “long-term, not short term.”

While this is generally sound advice for Lee’s well being as a human being, it could also give some insight into Triple H’s view of Lee’s potential in the company.

We will await more news on Lee’s contract and provide updates when they become available, but going by recent evidence, it appears as if WWE are doing their best to ensure he sticks around beyond his current deal.

With two championship matches already announced for the show, and two briefcase holders to be determined, the landscape of WWE could change drastically following next week’s show.

Ahead of the premium live event, there has been some speculation about potential movement between Raw and SmackDown, with stars to potentially switch brands following the action.

From Money in the Bank winners to those unsuccessful in upcoming title matches, there are many stars we could soon see jump to a different brand.

Here are three WWE stars we could see make a move following Money in the Bank.

Rey Fenix

Rey Fenix has been visiting Raw so much recently that he’s starting to feel like part of the furniture on the red brand.

With all three of his World Heavyweight Title #1 Contender’s Tournament matches taking place on Monday nights, the SmackDown star is now set to defend his AAA World Cruiserweight Championship against Ethan Page on the October 5 show.

If Page wins the gold, we could see Fenix officially move to the red brand to team with Penta, with the duo yet to bring the Lucha Brothers to main roster TV.

With the duo recently teaming in AAA, Fenix and Penta teaming together on Raw feels inevitable at this point.

CM Punk

On the September 25 edition of SmackDown, CM Punk “defeated” Finn Balor and GUNTHER to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match.

Having lost the Undisputed WWE Championship to Sami Zayn on September 11, many fans would anticipate Punk chasing Zayn, if the Second City Saint was to be victorious on October 10.

With Roman Reigns defeating CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Championship earlier this year at WrestleMania 42 however, it would also make sense for Punk to pursue a rematch against the OTC.

Punk’s exit from SmackDown would also give the Undisputed WWE Championship scene some breathing room, with there currently being numerous potential contenders for the gold.

Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch and Liv Morgan will face off on the October 5 Raw episode to determine Stephanie Vaquer’s WWE World Heavyweight Title challenger for Money in the Bank.

Out of these three stars, Lynch feels the most likely to switch brands, with Vaquer and Morgan both having many loose threads on Raw.

With Naomi rumored to be returning soon, it’d make sense to have the former Women’s World Champion challenge for the title she never lost, against the star who she didn’t ever get to defend against.

Meanwhile, it’d also make sense for Liv Morgan to remain on Raw to continue her storyline with Roxanne Perez, with tensions arising as the two teammates vie for the same title.

Becky Lynch could become a useful asset on SmackDown, bringing more starpower to the WWE Women’s Championship picture.

After coming up short in her NXT Women’s Championship match against Kelani Jordan on the September 8 episode of NXT, Jaida Parker has barely appeared on the show, and we may now know the reason for that.

To kick off tonight’s show, the Bloodline came to the ring to call out the 946, with them challenging Royce Keys and OTM to come to the ring and fight to kick off the show.

Jaida Parker makes WWE Raw debut appearance

A car then pulled up backstage, with Jacob Fatu and the Usos storming to the back to confront the 946, however instead of the 946, Jaida Parker would step out of the car.

Jey Uso asked what she was doing there, to which Jaida noted that she was going to speak to Adam Pearce.

This led to a lot of speculation as to which side of the ongoing war Jaida would take, but we would find out the answer to that question in a chaotic closing angle.

Royce Keys, Bronco Nima and Lucien Price would come to the ringside area, where they were met by security.

The 946 would lay waste to the security before the Bloodline came to ringside to begin a brawl with the 946.

The 946 grows in numbers with Jaida Parker joining

While the Usos would go off and brawl with Nima and Price all around the arena, the focus was on Jacob Fatu and Royce Keys’ brawl in the ring, with Keys retreating backstage after Jacob attempted to once again put him on the shelf.

Keys and Fatu would end up brawling into the parking lot, when Keys would hop into a car to escape, though Fatu attempted to jump through the window to continue the attack on Keys.

Keys would fend off Fatu by hitting him with the car door, before Fatu would end up being run over by a car coming in from off screen, which was being driven by Jaida Parker.

After initially seemingly apologetic for running over Fatu, Jaida quickly dropped the act, revealing herself to be the newest member of the 946 faction, with her and Royce Keys driving off together to end the show.
