Raw Five-Point Preview: Nov. 5, 2012

Their Hell in a Cell Match had all the makings of a classic pay-per-view battle. The self-proclaimed “Best in the World” WWE Champion vs. the undefeated and hungry newcomer, Ryback.

But Ryback — and the WWE Universe — were robbed by a WWE referee named Brad Maddox, who will finally explain his shocking actions on Monday’s Raw.

As the WWE Universe continues to buzz about the stunning pay-per-view ending — and Ryback continues to rage — here are five things to look for as Raw emanates from Birmingham, England.

1. What will referee Brad Maddox say about Hell In A Cell?

The confines of Hell in a Cell were supposed to decide the fate of the WWE Championship. However, it was a low blow from WWE referee Brad Maddox that stopped Ryback in his tracks. (PHOTOS) After a week of lingering questions, Maddox will appear on Raw to answer for his actions. (BRAD MADDOX TO BREAK SILENCE ON RAW | WHO IS MADDOX?) What will Maddox say? Could he possibly have a valid reason for doing what he did? (VOTE NOW) After the most controversial finish in Hell in a Cell history, the WWE Universe is demanding answers!

2. What will John Cena do next?

It’s been a rough few weeks for John Cena. First, he was unable to compete against WWE Champion CM Punk at Hell in a Cell. Then, he found himself embroiled in the “AJ scandal.” Now, he’s in the sights of Mr. Money in the Bank, Dolph Ziggler. (VICKIE EXPOSES PRIVATE MEETING |IS ZIGGLER JEALOUS OF CENA?) Last week on Raw, Ziggler got a taste of Cena’s pent-up frustration when Cena shoved him to the canvas. (PHOTOS) For a Superstar who backs down from no one, it’s only a matter of time until Cena starts settling the score with his foes within the squared circle.

3. Who will challenge Big Show?

Although The World’s Largest Athlete has an illustrious championship resume, his historically brief reign as World Heavyweight Champion in 2011 was forever a nagging asterisk … until he dethroned Sheamus at Hell in a Cell. (PHOTOS) On last week’s Raw, the former champion responded with a destructive helping of White Noise. But on SmackDown, Show joined forces with The Miz to overcome The Celtic Warrior & Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston in a furious main event. The only one hungrier than Ryback in WWE may be Big Show. Woe to those who dare tempt his appetite.

4. Is Team Rhodes Scholars zeroing in on the WWE Tag Team Championships?

At Hell in a Cell, Team Rhodes Scholars beat Team Hell No by disqualification when Kane lost his cool. (PHOTOS) One night later on Raw, Team Rhodes Scholars picked up another victory over Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara. With the continued dissention between WWE Tag Team Champions Kane & Daniel Bryan, is their time at the top ticking? Is Team Rhodes Scholars next in line, or will another team, like Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara, step up to challenge the champions?

5. What is WWE Champion Cm Punk's stratergy for Survivor Series

WWE Champion CM Punk emerged from Hell in a Cell with his title intact, but is he capable of pulling off another win at Survivor Series? (PREVIEW) With Ryback on the opposing team, Punk is going to have his work cut out for him against Mick Foley and his team. As the traditional November pay-per-view inches closer, will Punk offer clues as to his strategy for victory? With leadership experience as the former head of Nexus, The Straight Edge Superstar is sure to have something up his sleeve for his squad.
