For all the fallout from an important episode of Raw, keep reading.
Carmelo Hayes Will Become a World Title Challenger with The 946
Carmelo Hayes has a new direction after aligning with the hottest heel faction in WWE, The 946.
From no direction on SmackDown to feuding with The Bloodline, Melo is in position to rise all the way to genuine world title contention.
While Royce Keys is still the apparent leader of the group, Melo is a better worker and talker than Keys and will have plenty of chances to prove it.
Of everyone in the faction, Melo has the most obvious upside, and it will be obvious quickly in the coming months.
Few have impressed more in the ring than Him when he gets opportunities, and this is by far his biggest opportunity on the main roster.
The driving star of NXT could easily be a threat to Roman Reigns or Oba Femi with The 946 behind him on the rise.
Bron Breakker vs. Je'Von Evans Will Be One of WWE's Most Defining Feuds
Bron Breakker at 28 years old and Je'Von Evans at 22 are among the highest-profile young stars in WWE right now.
While The Young OG was already in conflict with The Vision, the feud between Breakker and Evans kicked off in the men's Money in the Bank ladder match on Saturday.
The Badass' targeting of Evans—particularly sending him crashing through the top of an ambulance—established their feud as a major storyline on Raw.
This feud has potential to define WWE for the next 10 to 15 years as both grow into their roles.
This could genuinely be the great rivalry of this era, even if it will take time to fully get to that point.
Breakker looks poised to become world champion in 2027, and Evans would be a great underdog challenger for the newly crowned titleholder.
In the coming years, both men should hold multiple titles and can consistently cause each other problems on their road to success.
Chelsea Green Must Beat Liv Morgan at Crown Jewel
Crown Jewel is set for November 7 when the world champions will collide for the title of Crown Jewel champion.
Of the four world champs heading to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, only one has already held a Crown Jewel Championship: Liv Morgan.
There is no reason for Morgan to win again so soon, and Chelsea Green winning over Liv would be a massive boost for the WWE women's champion.
Since winning, Green has been presented as a scrappy underdog, struggling to find her way to success. She even lost to Roxanne Perez in non-title action on Raw.
Winning the Women's Crown Jewel Championship would be an accolade no one could ignore and solidify Green's place among the best women's wrestlers in WWE right now.
Morgan would lose nothing by failing to become the first-ever two-time Crown Jewel champion. Green would gain lasting credibility.
WWE Must Book Stephanie Vaquer vs. Becky Lynch
While Liv Morgan heads toward a match with Chelsea Green to determine the top name in the women's division, it is two women suddenly out of the title picture that are the most interesting.
Stephanie Vaquer and Becky Lynch have begun to tease that their conflict will lead to a big first-time-ever contest.
While La Primera is recovering from injury after Money in the Bank, she still appeared on Raw, which would indicate it is a short-term injury.
WWE should use that time to keep building anticipation for the inevitable clash that showed real promise in the teases between them in the Money in the Bank triple threat.
What matters most is that WWE makes the most of the match. It should not be wasted on TV. It should be a major collision at a premium live event.
Time for Ethan Page to Dethrone Chad Gable
Chad Gable has delivered three great title defenses on Raw as intercontinental champion, but the story focus of only defending against luchadors is growing stale.
Victories over Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee and Rey Fénix after dethroning Penta have exhausted the obvious luchador challengers unless WWE wants to bring in AAA talent.
The better option would be to refocus on who is available on Raw, particularly "All Ego" Ethan Page, who has been chomping at the bit for a shot for months.
Page already impressed when he fought Penta at Saturday Night's Main Event, and he is ready to turn another opportunity into a big win.
All Ego may be the most talented underserved star on Raw. It would make sense to reheat him by letting Page dethrone Gable.
It could be the beginning of a strong rivalry between the two talented wrestlers while also freshening up the title scene immediately.
