1. Red Dawn

Though the company haven't made the terms of Raw's loss on Sunday explicitly clear, it's been strongly implied that major defeats for the red brand will cost Kurt Angle his General Manager job. Why on earth anybody would covet the spot since Stephanie McMahon's grim return to television is anybody's guess, but it seems a little premature to see off Kurt ahead of a brewing battle with Triple H and future familial hostilities with his storyline son.

How they'll actually go about winning the match is another mystery entirely.

The internal machinations between several of the combatants will arguably be as interesting as the action out-front. Expect Triple H, John Cena, Shane McMahon and Randy Orton to all carefully pore over their potential exits, with Kurt Angle and Braun Strowman sure to want credible eliminations if they're not lasting until the end.

Unfortunately, that leaves Samoa Joe, Shinsuke Nakamura, Bobby Roode and Finn Bálor as sacrificial lambs in the contest, though with WrestleMania rules applying when the part-timers rock up, they've probably been told to button up and appreciate the opportunity.

Really, the contest will be about juggling several high profile run-ins. Jason Jordan, Kane, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn are all likely to feature, but it'll be who interferes last that determine which brand laughs loudest.
