The legendary Betty White will be this weeks guest star on RAW.

When Triple H & Stephanie McMahon said Daniel Bryan could be the new Face of WWE if he beat Randy Orton, they probably didn’t expect him to actually win. Now The Authority has some uncomfortable decisions to make. With Orton finding new reasons to complain every week & Bryan making good on his promises, might The Authority actually consider making Bryan the Face of WWE?

It’s been about a month since the WWE Universe last saw Mark Henry, whose elbow was dislocated & fractured by Brock Lesnar. Now that The World’s Strongest Man is all healed up & ready to go, who will be the first to check-in to the reopened Hall of Pain?

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton, under orders from The Authority has to face each of his Elimination Chamber opponents in single matches. Orton so far is one for one, losing to Daniel Bryan on RAW & beating Christian on SmackDown. Up next for Orton is John Cena. Cena has never quite repaid Orton for beating up his father. Will the payback be to much for the Apex Predator to stand?

Kane attacked Daniel Bryan after his win over Randy Orton last Monday on RAW & cost him a match against Antonio Cesaro on SmackDown. Will RAW bring about another confrontation between Kane & Bryan? Safe to say hugging it out wont fix their problems this time around.

The Shield seemed to be falling apart after the Royal Rumble, but a potential implosion was stopped, or at least delayed, when The Hounds of Justice set their sights The Wyatt Family after the freaky trio cost The Shield their trip into the Elimination Chamber. With one more faction in WWE left to topple, can the men in black pull themselves together?

The Prime Time Player’s are no more. Om SmackDown they loss to Ryback & Curtis Axel & Titus O’Neil blamed Darren Young. O’Neil said is tired of being a loser. O’Neil assaulted his former friend. What’s next for the former partners?

Cody Rhodes & Goldust get another shot at reclaiming the WWE Tag Team Championships from The New Age Outlaws after an enraged Brock Lesnar interrupted their last shot. WWE COO Triple H granted them a rematch tonight on RAW inside a steel cage.

Alberto Del Rio’s promise to embarrass Batista in the Royal Rumble didn’t quite work out. Del Rio has now vowed to ensure that The Animal doesn’t make it to WrestleMania. Will Del Rio find his mark & hit Batista where he lives? Or is The Animal truly ready for anything Del Rio can throw at him?

The Yes Movement has begun. Daniel Bryan has taken his first step toward the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by claiming one of the six spots in the Elimination Chamber Match & the WWE Universe have firmly placed themselves at his back. With John Cena, Sheamus, Antonio Cesaro, Christian & current champion Randy Orton opposing him, his path to WrestleMania’s main event against Batista is anything but guaranteed. Can Bryan keep his momentum going?

Batista won the Royal Rumble Match which puts the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton in his sights. Will Raw bring the first face-off between Batista & Orton?

Sheamus returned with a vengeance in the Royal Rumble Match, eliminating Big E Langston & effectively serving notice to the WWE locker room. With no rivalries claiming his attention of yet, the playing field is wide open for The Celtic Warrior heading into WrestleMania season. Odds are the rowdy Irishman will seize the moment as he only can.

It would appear that The Shield’s unity is in question for the first time in their collective history after what transpired in the Royal Rumble Match. Can The Hounds of Justice keep from mauling one another before WrestleMania?

The New Age Outlaws defeated Cody Rhodes & Goldust for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Can Cody & Goldust pull themselves together & keep their fell-good story running? Or is it up to another tandem to take out the New Age Outlaws in the weeks leading up to WrestleMania?

Yes, Batista won the Royal Rumble Match, but the Royal Rumble pay-per-view was undoubtedly Bray Wyatt’s night. He got to make a vicious example of Daniel Bryan, he cost John Cena the WWE World Heavyweight Championship & saw his Family throw down in the Royal Rumble Match itself, eliminating a “Wrestling God” & a little bull before all was said & done. Last night Bray Wyatt truly made good on his famous warning. He’s here. What he does next, particularly where Cena is concerned, will be must-see.

Brock Lesnar will be at RAW tonight. What will happen when he comes face to face with Big Show?

“The Animal” Batista finally returns to RAW for the first time in almost 4 years. Will Batista’s first business be to attend to Alberto Del Rio, who has insulted Batista over the past month? With Batista under the same roof as Del Rio, it’ll be time to pay the piper before long.

The Wyatt Family went down in flames last week when Daniel Bryan shed his Wyatt garb & tore Bray Wyatt apart, while locked inside the steel cage. If Bray’s sermon on SmackDown was any indication, he’s not done with Bryan by a long shot. Can Bryan evade Bray’s wrath, or is their gruesome rivalry finally coming to a head?

Randy Orton attacked John Cena’s father at ringside last week. How will Cena respond to Orton’s heinous actions in the last RAW before their match at the Royal Rumble?

Kane has been teasing a potential return to his monstrous roots for some time now. Lately CM Punk has managed to bring out the demon within Kane. Harsh words on RAW led to an eruption of rage from Kane when he chokeslammed Punk at the close of SmackDown. Might Punk’s anti-Authority mentality have resurrected The Big Red Monster?

On SmackDown a angry Randy Orton vowed to give The Authority a piece of his mind on RAW.

On SmackDown, Big Show challenged Brock Lesnar to a match. Paul Heyman was there to accept the match for Lesnar at the Royal Rumble. Who makes the next move as the collision between these two goliaths approaches at the Royal Rumble?

For weeks, The Shield’s unity has been tested after some Superstars questioned which member of the group is the best. There has appeared to be some cracks in their unity. Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns & Dean Ambrose worked together to dismantle CM Punk & The New Age Outlaws on SmackDown. Is the victory enough to make all doubters stop asking questions about the strength of The Shield, or will the black-clad Superstars carry their momentum into RAW & make another emphatic statement?

So far, we know Batista & Alberto Del Rio are in the 30-Superstar Royal Rumble Match. With 28 more spots to fill, will more competitors be named on RAW? As the January 26th Royal Rumble pay-per-view fast approaches & paves the Road to WrestleMania, who’s driven enough to make a name for himself this year?

The Battle for Christmas: “Good Santa” Mark Henry VS “Bad Santa” Damien Sandow.

Randy Orton took the easy way out last week in a match with Daniel Bryan by low-blowing him to end the match with a disqualification. Is it possible that The Authority have a lump of coal in store for Orton or is having the WWE World Heavyweight Championship itself enough of a gift?

At TLC, Daniel Bryan was unable to overcome The Wyatt Family. Will Bray Wyatt continue his quest of getting Bryan to join his flock?

Who will be next to test the brotherly bond of the WWE Tag Team Champions, Cody Rhodes & Goldust?

Is Roman Reigns, The Shield’s weak link? Reigns mistakenly speared his own partner, Dean Ambrose, which allowed CM Punk to get the pinfall at TLC. Has Punk uncovered the code to beating The Shield?

Perhaps no one is riding a bigger wave of momentum into 2014 than the Intercontinental champion, Big E Langston. Matching his might seems almost implausible.

Randy Orton emerged from TLC the Champion of Champions. Although The Authority, including Mr. McMahon himself, emerged & showed their respect to the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, how long will it take before they decide it’s time to put him to the test?

Can AJ Lee bounce back & find her killer instinct again in time before her Title defense against Natalya at TLC? Or has the clock finally run out on AJ’s time as Divas Champion?

AT TLC, there will be one unified, undisputed Champion of Champions. Will it be John Cena or Randy Orton? Given Orton’s attitude of late, is The Authority still 100% behind Orton? Who will come out smiling headed into TLC?

At the end of Raw last week, John Cena found himself laid out while Randy Orton gloated with both the WWE Championship & World Heavyweight Championship in his possession.
