Even if Kendrick retains the title, his challenger could still be a handful of different people. He’s scheduled to defend the championship against Rich Swann, who I feel is most likely not that big of a threat, but stranger things have happened. If they are still available to wrestle on the Raw pay-per-views, then at the very least, Brian Kendrick will be involved, but he might be the challenger instead of the champion. Is this just going to be a separate show where the cruiserweight division is still going to be able to wrestle on Monday Night Raw? It would seem like that’s the case, since the stipulation for the Survivor Series match was that the division would go over to SmackDown if Kalisto had won, so if this was an entirely separate brand, none of that would have mattered. With 205 Live coming onto the scene next week, a lot of specific details revolving around that are still up in the air. Of course, Strowman still has the edge to win, but this would be more competitive than their previous encounters. Zayn was utterly destroyed by Strowman, but since this was a feud that existed before Survivor Series and didn’t quite have a resolution before being picked back up here, I’m expecting to see Zayn want to have another match to prove that he isn’t a total weakling. By that point, they’ll have passed the record, so it’s fair game to lose. Then, Mick Foley and Stephanie McMahon will call them out on it and book some kind of Triple Threat or Fatal 4-Way match where The New Day will lose the titles but might not necessarily be the team who gets pinned. On December 5th and possibly December 12th as well, they could have matches against Enzo and Cass, The Shining Stars, The Golden Truth or anybody else, doing the same thing. Next week, Gallows and Anderson will be close to winning and The New Day will get disqualified or counted out. The way I see things going down is for that trend to continue. Here’s hoping they don’t win the belts and preemptively kill off the record, but with The New Day drawing attention to it and cheating to retain this week, I think the story going forward will be that they are desperate to hold onto the belts no matter what. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson haven’t had the best few months, but they still have a lot of potential to be at the top of the division if WWE would simply book them as the ass kickers they were when they originally came onto the scene. Just as Charlotte will defend her title next week, so, too, will The New Day. The New Day are so close to beating Demolition’s record and by Roadblock, they’ll have surpassed it unless they lose the belts on Monday Night Raw. Rumors were spreading over the past few weeks that the plan was to have Reigns go up against Owens in a Champion Versus Champion scenario, either with or without the United States title on the line, but probably just for Owens’ belt. Clearly, he’s being grouped into the feud now, which means he’ll be facing either Owens or Jericho. If it isn’t Seth Rollins who gets the title shot, Roman Reigns is the next most likely choice. Could it happen at Roadblock, or is WWE going to wait until Elimination Chamber or Fastlane to really kick things into gear? We haven’t seen Triple H get his hands dirty as expected, so somewhere along the lines, he’s going to have to show up to rekindle his feud with Rollins to set up WrestleMania. However, given the circumstances with Chris Jericho’s involvement, they may drag this out even longer by having yet another match between the two. Seth Rollins has now had multiple attempts at the Universal title, so after losing his most recent attempt against Kevin Owens, you’d think WWE would move on to someone else.
