Monday Night RAW hosted a huge six-man Fist Fight for the first time in WWE history. The two teams involved in the clash consisted of Kevin Owens, Samoa Joe, and Big Show on one side, while the heel team consisted of Seth Rollins and the Authors of Pain (Akam & Rezar).
The match was filled with some big spots, particularly from Kevin Owens, but one major surprise shook up the entire match.
Buddy Murphy emerged to help Seth Rollins win the match at a time when he was cornered by the Big Show, and the attack helped Rollins deliver a stomp to Show to allow his team a victory.
Now that the numbers have increased in the heel faction, Show, KO, and Joe will be looking for men who could help them even the odds.
In this article, we'll look at the 5 Superstars who could join Show, KO, and Joe in their fight against the Monday Night Messiah and his goons.
#5 Cedric Alexander
The rise and fall of Cedric Alexander has been disheartening. The former Cruiserweight Champion arrived on the main roster hoping he’d get a push like Mustafa Ali but did not manage to be half as successful.
He teamed up with Roman Reigns on SmackDown, following which he started to get better bookings on the RAW brand.
However, after a hopeful rivalry against AJ Styles, Alexander has failed to rise up the ranks once again and found himself on the lower cards.
With two big factions shaping up on RAW, we could watch the creative give Alexander another boost by making him a part of the babyface team. He is an outstanding performer who simply needs a few chances to show how good he is, and he can get that chance in a team of heavyweights which requires a high-flyer.
Couple that with the fact that no one in WWE knows Buddy Murphy better than Alexander due to their time in the Cruiserweight division together, and we have a win-win situation.
Alexander is certainly one man who can step up to Big Show, Kevin Owens, and Samoa Joe and ask them to include him in their team to take on the evils of RAW.
#4 Rey Mysterio
Rey Mysterio has been having a rather eventful time in WWE since his return to the company. The Master of 619 has been involved in many Championship rivalries, including the United States and the Universal Championships.
Mysterio was the US Champion not too long ago and is currently battling Andrade to get his title back from the Superstar.
The two men are set to clash on RAW again next week in a huge Ladder Match for the US Championship. During the match, we could watch Seth Rollins and his henchmen cause an interruption, or even beat down the veteran, allowing Andrade to pick up the win.
Rollins and Mysterio have recently had a few scuffles, and Mysterio did vow to get back at The Monday Night Messiah at any cost.
This could lead to Big Show, Kevin Owens, and Samoa Joe coming out to rescue Mysterio, leading to the veteran joining the pack of babyfaces to take down the heels.
The storyline would also open up the possibility of Andrade joining Rollins, making their team even stronger than it already is.
#3 Humberto Carrillo
Humberto Carrillo has been one of the fastest rising stars on RAW since his arrival to the brand from 205 Live. Carrillo scored big time right after walking into RAW, as his first match was against then Universal Champion Seth Rollins.
He followed up with some great matches with AJ Styles and almost reached the United States Championship picture in the process.
A few weeks ago, an attack by Andrade left Carrillo unable to compete. He could mark his return soon and join the three babyfaces, as he is portraying a great babyface character on the brand at the moment.
We could watch Carrillo walk up to KO or Samoa Joe and offer his services to them, as he wants to help protect the Red brand from the heels.
Since Andrade is busy with Rey Mysterio at the moment, it could be the perfect way to keep Carrillo in the loop until the rivalry between Andrade and Mysterio dies down. He has already shown that he can put on a great match with Rollins, and there is no doubt he can do the same with Buddy Murphy, Akam, and Rezar.
#2 Ricochet
Ricochet is no stranger to playing the good guy and helping fellow Superstars out. The former North American Champion arrived onto NXT from RAW and became an instant crowd favorite thanks to his character and high-flying moves which he performs with pinpoint precision.
His popularity helped him win the United States Championship on RAW and a decent feud with the legendary AJ Styles. However, his importance on the Red brand has dipped a bit in the past few months.
With such a big rivalry going on at the top of RAW, it’d be the perfect time to allow Ricochet to get back up on his feet again and help Big Show, Kevin Owens, and Samoa Joe to take on the heels.
Ricochet’s style will match very well with someone like Buddy Murphy, and he could add a great dimension to a team loaded with some heavyweights. We’ve already seen Ricochet join a few teams for one-off matches, therefore joining three major stars on RAW can help him get back up to being a top Superstar on RAW.
#1 Aleister Black
The most likely of the lot who could bring the dark side to the babyface team, Aleister Black is arguably the best Superstar on RAW with the strongest character currently.
He has managed to go over big time even though he’s only appeared on television a handful of times as compared to other Superstars, and although he has just three major victories over a single Superstar, he has the fans invested in him.
Black’s rivalry with Buddy Murphy is nothing short of gold, and since Black got three straight victories over The Best Kept Secret, the rivalry may just be getting started. Because Murphy has joined Seth Rollins’ heel faction, Black will likely step in to neutralize Murphy and join the good guys for a tag team run.
Joining the likes of Samoa Joe and Kevin Owens will not only increase Black’s value, but he would be seen as the most dominating competitor in a team comprising of the top Superstars the industry has ever seen.
Going head to head in the ring with Rollins will be a dream battle for the fans, and we could even watch him get an even bigger push by pinning Rollins during the rivalry.
