3 Interesting observations from this week's RAW (May 13, 2019)

This week's edition of WWE Monday Night RAW (13th May 2019) saw a lot of contrasting moments. Right from Bray Wyatt's insane new look to Braun Strowman and Sami Zayn brawling all over the arena in a chaotic main event, last night's episode had it all.

The show itself turned out to be pretty nonchalant for the most part, and while I was fixated on brushing this week's episode aside as another filler edition of RAW, the Firefly Fun House segment and the Falls Count Anywhere Main Event was worth the wait.

Let us take a look at some interesting observations from this week's episode of Monday Night RAW

#3: Why the Falls Count Anywhere Main Event worked on so many levels

Without any doubt, last night's Falls Count Anywhere Main Event match was chaotic, to say the least.

But apart from that, it is important to note how cleverly the match was structured in the first place. It makes all the sense in the world for Drew McIntyre and Baron Corbin to dismantle the Monster Among Men so as to eliminate the biggest physical threat heading into Money In The Bank.

Even towards the very end, the characters remained true to their core as Corbin left Zayn behind to clash against Strowman's wrath.

We learned that this wasn't an act of justifying heel motivations. Instead, it's every man for himself, even if it means pulling the strings to get the job done.

Zayn might have been booked to win because of Strowman's backstage heat. However, eliminating Strowman from the mix was a nice entertaining twist on the final episode of RAW before this year's Money In The Bank Pay-Per-View.

#2: Why the Wild Card Rule mostly benefits Roman Reigns as a top star

It's been a week since the inception of WWE's Wild Card Rule on RAW.

There was a lot of negative buzz surrounding the idea itself. Now that a week has passed, there is still a considerable amount of resistance to embracing WWE's Wild Card Rule, but the conversation has already moved on.

One thing that has apparently been clear so far is that the Wild Card Rule seems to benefit Roman Reigns a lot. He is one of the top stars in today's main roster lineup (including both brands).

To have The Big Dog on both shows essentially benefits the company to some extent, since Reigns has a widespread reach currently.

It does take away TV Time from other potential superstars on both brands, now that there has to be a specifically allotted timeslot for a Roman Reigns segment.

Even the Universal Title feud had nothing major going on last night, but it seems like no matter which superstars appear on the rival brand every week, Roman Reigns will likely be a constant on both brands in the foreseeable future, thanks to the Wild Card Rule.

#1: Bray Wyatt's dark secret is finally out of the bag!

Yet again, Bray Wyatt's Firefly Fun House segment has hit the right mark, just like every week.

Wyatt's puppets (that could symbolise new Wyatt Family members) looked terrified as the 'Eater of Worlds' finally revealed how he has been controlling the darkness inside him in recent times.

Clearly, we now know that Bray Wyatt's new gimmick will deal with a lot of split-personality shenanigans. This also means that the Bray Wyatt will be slugging it out in the ring sooner than later.

This could be one of the best gimmick transformations of all time. Bray Wyatt has a huge chunk of creative control this time around, and the reason why the Firefly Fun House segments do not belong to a niche market is that these promos have been garnering the most views on YouTube, and fans are most definitely talking about it online every week.

One of the best things to contemplate about right now is how this bizarre character translates when Wyatt wrestles in the ring.

Until then, Money in the Bank will take place this Sunday. Drop your match predictions in the comments section below!
