10 Predictions To Bring WWE Raw Back From The Brink

1. The Fiend & Alexa Bliss Are Rocket-Strapped

And from a restorative run for Drew McIntyre, to the completion of Bray Wyatt's latest rehabilitation alongside Alexa Bliss.

The duo are far from perfect, but - and the bar is this low, yes - when the acting is not absolutely laughable, the pair have real chemistry. Bliss is a spark The Fiend's persona was desperately missing having been eviscerated by Bill Goldberg, whilst Wyatt's world was the snap back into relevance the former Women's Champion required after mithering in midcard obscurity for too long.

It won't be for everybody, but giving them both division's top titles simultaneously will give the act more focus than it's ever had, with Bray in particular having more than just his title to fight for third time around. WWE must not rush this. It appears as though Wyatt may well be included in a TLC match in December, but history has shown us how things turn out when he's rushed into programmes. Handled with care, Wyatt's probably the guy to beat a Drew McIntyre, ideally on the same night Bliss dethrones a babyface (preferably Nikki Cross) in her own division.

It can't really go any other way. Failure this time and The Fiend is finished.
