In addition, The Usos reunited and made a major declaration for the tag team division. In this article, we will discuss five things WWE subtly told us on the go-home episode of the red brand before SNME XLII.

At WWE SNME, Gunther and John Cena will lock horns in a singles showdown. This will mark the final match of the Franchise Player in the squared circle, as following this, he will hang up his boots. During the opening segment of RAW, Gunther asserted to destroy Cena and make him tap out.

The Ring General declared that he will break Cena and his spirit in his final match. The words of the former World Heavyweight Champion subtly hint that WWE could be planning for a heart-wrenching ending for Cena's fans when he taps out or passes out at the special show.

#4. Mystery man could be anyone at this point

Mystery Man made his return on RAW this week after Survivor Series. He first attacked Rey Mysterio and helped Logan Paul destroy the Hall of Famer. Later in the main event, he curb-stomped LA Knight on the announcer's table and aided The Maverick to secure the victory.

Earlier, Austin Theory was reported to be the potential star behind the mask at Survivor Series. Meanwhile, WWE is dragging out the mystery guy angle, subtly hinting that this mysterious figure could be anyone at this point.

It doesn't necessarily need to be Austin Theory, and it seems the company may drag the storyline into the rest of 2025.


#3. LA Knight has been written off TV

LA Knight was badly beaten by The Vision members. The way the show ended suggests that The Megastar is subtly written off television. Usually, when a star takes such a beating, he disappears from the storyline and goes on a hiatus.

After what happened with the former US Champion on RAW, it wouldn't be surprising if he doesn't appear on RAW in the coming weeks and sells the attack.


#2. Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez could break up soon

Raquel Rodriguez ruined the return of Nikki Bella and stepped in front of Stephanie Vaquer to challenge her for the Women's World Championship. Later in the backstage segment, Liv Morgan expressed her surprise at Raquel's actions, as she was planning to get a title match against Vaquer.

The tensions between these two Judgment Day members hint that WWE could be planning for a breakup soon. However, it's not going to happen imminently on RAW.


#1. WWE has given up on Jey Uso as a singles star

Jey Uso is back in the tag team division and has reunited with Jimmy Uso. The Usos confronted The New Day and the current World Tag Team Champions, AJ Styles and Dragon Lee. The Samoan Twins declared that they are back in the tag team division, which subtly confirms that the singles run of The YEET Master is over now.

Jey got a massive push as a solo star, but his return in the tag team scene suggests WWE has given up on him as a singles competitor.
