Predictions for WWE Raw, SmackDown and AEW Dynamite for Week of November 2

This week in WWE and All Elite Wrestling television, both companies set their sights on their respective November pay-per-views.

WWE will continue its build toward Survivor Series on November 22, while AEW wraps up the march to Full Gear at Daily's Place Saturday night.

With a sense of urgency from both, the shows are sure to feature high-profile angles and storyline developments—and Lana going through an announce table.

Find out what you can expect from both shows with this look at the week to come in wrestling television.

Last Monday's episode of Raw concluded with Randy Orton trapped between two Superstars eyeing him and his WWE Championship for different reasons.

Drew McIntyre wanted back the gold he lost just 24 hours earlier at Hell in a Cell, while "The Fiend" Bray Watt seeks vengeance for the torment The Viper inflicted on him three years ago during their rivalry over the same title.

He even called back to that program by pulling out a familiar staff during last week's Firefly Fun House and bludgeoning Ramblin' Rabbit at the mere mention of Orton's name. 

The new WWE champion has challengers coming from both sides, each fueled by different motivations. Look for that to continue Monday as WWE likely sets up for December's TLC: Tables, Ladders and Chairs main event.

The only question that remains is how long it will be until Roman Reigns makes his presence felt on the flagship to set up the champion vs. champion encounter with Orton at Survivor Series and how that might affect the build toward a three-way dance over the red brand's top prize.

In case you missed it, Lana has been driven through the announce table by Nia Jax six weeks in a row, and that number will climb to seven this week on Raw.

Why? Because WWE loves beating a good joke into the ground, obliterating it, burying it alive and making sure no one ever wants to see it again.

Monday, Jax and Shayna Baszler will battle Mandy Rose and Dana Brooke in a match aimed at deciding who the captain of Team Raw will be at Survivor Series. Lana will undoubtedly be at, or around, ringside to watch spar and may even be named captain when it is decided the other four cannot coexist long enough.

And for her troubles, she will eat another Samoan Drop through the table, with Vince McMahon assuredly laughing his ass off in the production area at this "good s--t."

It was fun for the first few weeks, but as it approaches two months of the same angle every week, it is time to change things up if only because this particular gag has run its course.

Just days before Full Gear, Chris Jericho will join the commentary team as his Inner Circle teammates, Ortiz and Sammy Guevara, battle MJF and Wardlow.

At the pay-per-view, Le Champion will battle the brash MJF in a high-stakes match that will determine the scarf-wearing loudmouth's future as a member of the faction.

Ortiz and Guevara have been very vocal about their dislike for MJF and their refusal to accept him as a fellow member of The Inner Circle. They may not have much of a say, especially when MJF manages to pick up a win over them in Wednesday's match, drawing the ire and intensifying things with Jericho.

Will the heels come to blows Wednesday? No. At least they shouldn't. After all, the money is in watching them tear each other apart on pay-per-view.

But all of the mutual admiration will be thrown out the window as, for the first time since their program began, you fully understand there is genuine dislike on Jericho's part and envy on MJF's. 

Moments after defeating Daniel Bryan to earn his way onto Team SmackDown, Jey Uso agreed to join Roman Reigns before unleashing a brutal beating that culminated with a splash through the announce table and left The Yes Man in need of medical attention.

It was almost as if Uso, under the weight of his family and personal pride, snapped and took out two months' worth of frustration and heartbreak on the former world champion.

What resulted was a side of the former tag team champion we had not seen in quite some time, if ever.

Friday night, expect an emotional-yet-venomous promo from Uso in which he explains himself and why he has chosen to acknowledge Reigns as The Tribal Chief after all this time.

It will continue what has been the best storyline WWE has produced this year and inch closer to the heel trio of Reigns and The Usos ruling over the SmackDown kingdom.

The only question remaining is if Jimmy will be as quick to follow his brother into accepting Reigns as the head of the family.
