Vince McMahon's genius intertwined with the performers' enactment of their respective situations made this week's Monday Night Raw pretty intriguing.

Since WrestleMania 35 is now just six days away, we all knew that WWE would be willing to pull out all the stops to sell this year's visual extravaganza in splendid fashion, and that's what they did.

The main event of WrestleMania 35 will see three of the most popular female performers going toe-to-toe against each other with the winner 'taking all' championships home.

While many of us were skeptical on how this all will transpire on the Raw before WrestleMania, but the creative team did do an impressive job by not exaggerating the entire situation and keeping it very intense and entertaining.

Seth Rollins' high-profile encounter with Brock Lesnar also got some significant spotlight tonight with The Architect's quest to win the Universal Championship coercing him to do whatever it takes to dismantle The Beast Incarnate.

Furthermore, Batista's four-word promo was intriguing enough to keep things hyped for his collision with Triple H this Sunday where the latter will be putting his entire career on the line.

Moving on from Batista, we find our way back to Kurt Angle's disappointing final encounter with Baron Corbin. There's nothing much to say here about this feud except the fact that it is happening.

The interesting thing here tonight was Dean Ambrose's absence. Drew Mcintyre savagely ambushed Roman Reigns in a backstage interview and promised to take his yard away from him in six days.

Regardless of what transpired, there are many things WWE vicariously told us through some of their segments and matches tonight. What were they? Let's find out.

Here are the 5 shocking things Vince McMahon secretly told us on Monday Night Raw.


#1 Dean Ambrose will not be re-signing with the WWE

Ambrose didn't even get a spot on Raw

It's a damn shame that WWE failed in their attempt to embellish Dean Ambrose as the biggest heel this company has ever seen, let alone on RAW.

The Lunatic Fringe's contractual situation with Vince McMahon's billion dollar company has remained the talk of the town for almost months now and with Ambrose having no single spot for WrestleMania, it certainly means that he will not be re-signing with the WWE.

The former WWE Champion appeared after RAW went off air to deliver a dirty deeds to Baron Corbin before he bid goodbye to the WWE Universe in Washington, DC.

While you never say never in the WWE, I highly doubt whether Ambrose will ever be considered as someone who could have taken this company by storm as a conniving villain.

With Kurt Angle getting a farewell match at The Show of Shows, don't you think WWE should have given something on the similar lines to Ambrose as well?

#2 Vince McMahon will protect The Demon King at all costs

Will Finn be Intercontinental Champion this Sunday?

In what could have been saved as a surprising element for WrestleMania, WWE has revealed that Finn Balor will indeed bring The Demon King to slug it out with Bobby Lashley.

I am pretty sure that legions of us are interested in Balor's demonic entrance than the match itself. There's no denying that there's absolutely no substance in this rivalry.

Finn Balor has collided with Bobby Lashley multiple times and only his alter-ego could save this match from being an average affair to something worth remembering.

Since Balor's alter-ego has received major spotlight at SummerSlam, bringing him at WrestleMania was the right decision and with Vince considering 'The Demon King' as a special attraction, there's no way Lashley would walk out of WrestleMania as the Intercontinental Champion.

This match could be good, especially with the former NXT Champion taking center-stage with his Irish mythology and would probably end with Balor's hand getting raised with the Intercontinental Championship.

#3 Vince McMahon considers Drew Mcintyre the biggest heel in the business

Mcintyre is making waves

Whilst Drew Mcintyre may not be walking out of WrestleMania 35 as a victor, he has damn sure caught everyone's attention heading into the biggest event of the year.

Mcintyre's encounter with Roman Reigns has all the makings of a classic where the biggest face in the industry collides against the biggest heel in the industry.

The Scottish Psychopath has been pretty decisive in his role as the antagonist here. His ruthlessness as a heel has certainly captivated the audience intertwined with his in-ring prowess which makes him a complete package.

He is possibly the most evolved superstar today. Vince McMahon has always admired guys of Mcintyre's size and with the former NXT Champion now living up to the hype, he very will be presented as a force to reckon with after WrestleMania 35.

Yes, it's disappointing that he will be doing the honors for The Big Dog in New Jersey, but his booking till now only justifies how far he will go even after he loses his tussle with Roman.

#4 'Winner takes all' has been added to protect Ronda Rousey

This gets us excited

Despite the fact that a lot of things were presented here in exaggeration, one can't deny that Becky Lynch, Ronda Rousey, and Charlotte Flair absolutely deserve to close the show this year at WrestleMania.

With Becky Lynch's uncompromising attitude bringing an edge to this feud, the match is now a 'Winner takes all' as announced by Stephanie McMahon in the opening segment of Monday Night Raw.

Since the three headliners were scheduled to be involved in a six woman's tag-team encounter with The Riott Squad, things quickly heated up after the three got involved in a slug fight.

Considering the fact that both the titles will be on the line this Sunday and with Becky Lynch walking in as the favorite to hold both the belts at the end of the night, the decision to keep Charlotte here is to keep Ronda Rousey protected.

While the fans do want to see The Rowdy One getting pinned at The Grandest Stage of Them All, one can't help but admit that Vince McMahon will not be booking such a conclusion to end WrestleMania.

#5 Seth Rollins will not be winning the Universal Championship as a babyface

This is getting disappointing
Ad

As much as I hate to say it - I don't see Seth Rollins walking out of WrestleMania as the Universal Champion. It's a damn shame that The Architect is not the favorite to slay The Beast this Sunday.

While the heated confrontation felt significant in drawing the lines between the two characters, Rollins' taking Lesnar down with a low-blow coerced us in believing that the former WWE Champion may never beat The Mayor of Suplex City as a face.

It's undeniable that this will be one hell of a match where The Architect takes Brock Lesnar to his absolute limits and might very well steal the entire show.

However, despite Rollins' numerous attempts to slay The Beast, it looks impossible that Vince McMahon would be presenting him as an unstoppable force heading into the biggest event of the year.

Well, at the end of the day, Seth Rollins is not Roman Reigns for Vince.

What makes Sting special? His first AEW opponent opens up RIGHT HERE.
