In this article, we will be looking at six things WWE subtly told us on Monday Night RAW this week.
#6. WWE has given up on Rusev
Je’Von Evans was part of a red brand match and faced Rusev in a singles bout. The former NXT star was strongly booked, and the match concluded when the young OG defeated the Bulgarian Brute, scoring a big victory.
Rusev is a former United States Champion in the Stamford-based promotion. Despite this, his clean loss against Evans subtly confirms that the company may have given up on him.
It also appears that WWE will book him like a jobber in the forthcoming weeks.
#5. Asuka will return to WWE in the near future
After what happened at Backlash 2026, Asuka made a backstage appearance with IYO SKY on RAW. Here, The Empress of Tomorrow bid goodbye to the TKO-led promotion and announced the Genius of Sky as her replacement.
Before leaving the arena with her suitcase, the veteran affirmed that she would see Sky in the near future. Despite the segment appearing to be a send-off for the 44-year-old female star, it subtly confirms that Asuka will return to WWE one day.
However, there is a high chance that her return is uncertain, which led to this goodbye segment on the red brand.
#4. WWE is working on Seth Rollins & Street Profits’ new faction
Seth Rollins and Street Profits were engaged in interesting segments on Monday Night RAW. The Visionary assisted Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford against the Vision members in a six-man tag team match.
Rollins’ interference played a major role in Logan Paul. Bron Breakker and Austin Theory lost in this bout. Following the match, Ford was clearly unhappy with the Architect’s interference and had a heated face-off with him.
Later, in a backstage segment, Street Profits were happy as they would get a World Tag Team Championship match against The Maverick and A-Town Down star at the upcoming Saturday Night’s Main Event.
However, as soon as Seth confronted them and expressed his desire to aid them against Vision, Montez reminded him that he is not the right person to trust.
With all this development, it’s clear that the Triple H-led promotion is working on a new babyface faction on RAW, with Seth and Profits potentially working together.
#3. Roxanne will soon turn on Liv Morgan
Roxanne Perez and Raquel Rodriguez confronted Paige and Brie Bella on the red brand. Here, the Judgment Day members mocked the Women’s Tag Team Champion and promised to dethrone them.
During this, Brie Bella attempted to raise tensions among the villainous faction members by comparing Liv and Rox. Here, the champion teased that Perez should try to do something different and come out of Morgan’s shadow.
Later, the Women’s World Champion put Roxanne Perez and Raquel forward as potential new Women’s Tag Team Title contenders. So, if the Judgment Day suffers a loss next week due to Roxanne, it will raise rifts between the faction members.
So, Brie Bella’s words subtly hint that Perez may eventually turn on Liv Morgan and lead her down a separate path on WWE RAW.
#2. IYO SKY could enter the title picture soon
Asuka officially announced IYO SKY as her replacement on Monday Night RAW. Additionally, the beloved WWE star defeated Sol Ruca in an impressive match. Declaring the Genius of Sky as the next Empress of Tomorrow and booking her in a solid victory over Ruca subtly teases that SKY might enter a championship feud soon.
The company may leverage this momentum and book her in a title match in the coming months.
#1. Jacob Fatu could be punished
Jacob Fatu destroyed Roman Reigns and the OG Bloodline on Monday Night RAW. The Samoan Werewolf refused to acknowledge the OTC and instead showcased his destruction.
Earlier in the show, Roman Reigns spoke with Adam Pearce and said he would fire Jacob if he refused to acknowledge him. After Fatu attacked the World Heavyweight Champion, Michael Cole raised the question about the former United States Champion facing serious consequences for his actions.
So, this subtly confirms that WWE might punish Jacob Fatu soon on the red brand. This could be done to make fans more invested in the Fatu vs. Reigns rematch, which could take place at Clash in Italy 2026.
