Rey Mysterio is set to face Xavier Woods in a singles match on the upcoming edition of WWE RAW. This is a match that brewed from Woods' backstage altercation with the legendary luchador last week. Although this is set to be a tough contest, The Master of 619 is expected to emerge victorious. However, the Hall of Famer might suffer a cruel fate after his match.
A 12-time champion could turn heel and launch a vicious attack on Rey after the match. The name in question is none other than Xavier Woods. The New Day member is a seven-time SmackDown Tag Team Champion, a four-time RAW Tag Team Champion, and a one-time NXT Tag Team Champion. The 38-year-old has been on a losing streak lately, and his frustrations have been boiling up.
Woods could finally find himself at a dead end after possibly losing his third consecutive match on RAW tonight. Following his potential defeat against Rey Mysterio, The New Day member might go into a state of trance reeling from the devastating loss.
Just as Rey Mysterio would be standing tall with his hands being raised by the referee, the erstwhile King Woods could launch an unhinged attack on him from behind. His weeks of frustrations could finally boil over, and he could explode.
Consumed in rage, Woods could launch a merciless attack on the veteran, unleashing his dark side. He could storm Mysterio at the steel steps and the commentary table. The tag-team specialist could continue his onslaught on Rey Mysterio until a hoard of referees came to the rescue, followed by LWO and Kofi Kingston.
A visibly shocked Kingston could try to question his stablemate. However, a furious Xavier Woods could simply walk away without providing any answers. That said, the angle is speculative at this point.
Could Rey Mysterio be the catalyst in Xavier Woods' heel turn?
WWE has been teasing Xavier Woods' heel turn and The New Day's implosion on RAW for quite some time. It looks like things are apparently on the horizon in light of what has been unfolding on the red brand in recent weeks. Rey Mysterio could play a major role in it, as he could be the catalyst in Woods' impending heel turn.
Mysterio is one of the most revered figures in pro wrestling and is a huge fan favorite, having worldwide popularity. What could be a better way to herald Xavier Woods' heel turn than to have him go against one of the biggest babyface superstars on RAW?
Woods attacking the former World Heavyweight Champion could garner him unfathomable boos from the WWE Universe. It will serve the intended purpose and be a giant leap toward his transition in character. By attacking Rey Mysterio, the former King of the Ring could instantly grab the spotlight, with him becoming the biggest villain on RAW.
The Triple H-led creative team could make good use of that momentum and start a compelling storyline between Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston. However, this is also a speculation at this point. It will be fascinating to see how the story unfolds tonight.
