3 Interesting observations from this week's RAW (May 20, 2019)

This week's edition of WWE Monday Night RAW (20th May 2019) saw a lot of contrasting moments. Right from Brock Lesnar establishing his looming presence over Kofi Kingston and Seth Rollins to the unveiling of the brand-new 24/7 Championship, last night's episode had it all.

Monday Night RAW rarely keeps you hooked over a 3-hour span from start-to-finish. However, last night's RAW Fallout episode following Money In The Bank was quite entertaining. It was far from perfect. But at this point, anything that breaks off from WWE's usual Monday Night RAW format feels like a breath of fresh air.

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

#3 Why Brock Lesnar's MITB win will keep everyone on their toes

The MITB Fallout episode of RAW made one thing very clear. Both Kofi Kingston (WWE Champion) and Seth Rollins (Universal Champion) might have to face the wrath of the Beast sooner than later.

Normal rules don't apply to Brock Lesnar. The Beast Incarnate has his own schedule, and he doesn't have to work his way up the roster like the rest of the superstars.

Therefore, the only thing that makes sense about Brock Lesnar as Mr Money In The Bank (Mr Beast In The Bank?) is that his road to the eventual MITB cash-in might be quite different than all the previous winners.

Lesnar has also had a past history of being involved in instances where a shocking development occurs when we least expect it.

As to whether he will choose Kofi Kingston or Seth Rollins, that remains to be seen. Brock Lesnar's looming presence is clearly felt by the top champions, and the situation becomes even more intriguing when Paul Heyman and his client decide to keep everyone in the dark.

#2 Bray Wyatt's in-ring return might take longer than expected.

Last night's Firefly Fun House segment was only about a minute long, but there were still a considerable amount of takeaways from the latest addition to this weekly series of vignettes.

"We're really glad that you're our friend, and this is a friendship that will never ever end. If you're feeling lonely today, come along and throw your cares away..."

As you can see, a second verse was added to the Firefly Fun House song during this segment. Bray Wyatt's slow descent into an absolute maniac was mirrored by the song's dark turn towards the end of the second verse.

I personally think that we might discover more verses to this song in the next few weeks. This is because Bray Wyatt is expected to be at Jojo Offerman's (former ring announcer) side after the latter suffered from complications during the birth of their newborn child.

Nevertheless, I don't really mind additional Firefly Fun House segments provided that Bray Wyatt doesn't run out of ideas. Bring on more verses!

#1 Why the 24/7 Championship might be what RAW needed all along

Mick Foley unveiled the brand-new WWE 24/7 Championship on RAW last night. Right when the announcement was made, I instantly knew that a large section of fans was going to express their distaste for the title reveal online.

The 24/7 Championship follows the '24/7' rule, where the title must be defended anytime at anyplace with a referee present. Therefore, comparisons to the Hardcore Championship were inevitable.

On a personal note, this was probably the most enjoyable series of WWE segments I have watched in a while (aside from Firefly Fun House). From R-Truth fooling a whole bunch of superstars to the amazingly choreographed initial brawl that had everyone on their toes, I honestly think that this is a welcome addition to WWE.

The 24/7 title adds a lot of spontaneity to Monday Night RAW, which is needed now more than ever. After all, the regular RAW format has run its course.

The circumstances surrounding the title itself are highly entertaining, absurd and cheesy (in a good way). This is something that could definitely draw a lot of attention every week.

But the ultimate question remains: How long can R-Truth hold on to the 24/7 Championship? Let us know in the comments section below.
