3 things WWE subtly told us on Monday Night Raw (17-Dec-2018)

WWE Raw was really a great one to witness as the show has never been in such great form over the past few weeks. The show that was headed by Baron Corbin had become lackluster due to repetitive stories and didn't garner any attention from anyone including sports journalists.

Despite repeated attempts, the show was going downhill, and it seemed like the company would only try to revive the show in 2019, but Vince McMahon didn't want to wait for such a long time and took matters into his own hands. After the announcement of a return by the WWE Chairman, the online world was buzzing about the possible reasons why Vinnie Mac was returning to TV after Smackdown 1000.

It has been suggested previously that Vince may be headed to XFL due to the recent announcements by the sports brand, but when the news came about, it gave a different perspective behind this return after a hiatus.

While this return didn't do any damage to the show, it definitely gave us an insight into what to expect as Royal Rumble comes closer, and in this article, we list the things that the company told us on Monday Nights:

#1 Fight for the keys to the kingdom

Who's the captain now?

Vince McMahon was going to shake things up on Monday Night Raw, and may I say that he did just that. The chairman announced that the McMahon-Helmsley regime is taking back the WWE which put the rumors of Disney buying a section of the WWE to rest.

Along with that, he also announced that the four individuals will be involved in making things better for the WWE Universe. We all know that they will change this in time, and when such a thing happens, it is a possibility that Vince and Stephanie McMahon will have to pick sides.

After that happens, we will see the two groups trying everything to put the other down, which will then make way for a match between Triple H and Shane McMahon for the keys to the WWE Headquarters.

This will be entertaining, and we must all get ready to witness the saga.

#2 Surprise Entrants for Royal Rumble match

WWE released two videos this week talking about the return of Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. We all know that these two friends-turned-foes were involved in injuries during different shows, but the person who caused it was Bobby Lashley.

While Sami Zayn got injured in Money In The Bank and Kevin Owens on an episode of Raw, the two have been healing to make an impact, and it seems like they are going to return soon.

They could also be the thing missing from Raw, and with the addition of two talented superstars who can work on any storyline, you can expect firecrackers. Their segments on Monday and Tuesday Nights have been nothing short of entertaining whether it was fighting with Shane McMahon and then working in different storylines on Raw.

How about a replacement to R-Truth at #30 in the Royal Rumble?

#3 Alliance in the making

WWE is known for its creative storylines, and it seems like the company may be taking a leaf from its previous storytelling techniques. We have seen Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre work together against Finn Balor, and it is a possibility that in an extension to the current babyface look of Dolph Ziggler, we may see him form an alliance with his former adversary.

The idea seems to be in the works, as now Drew McIntyre has a partner by his side, the former acting Raw General Manager, Baron Corbin. A heel team versus a babyface team would be a great idea, and may also help us see some worthy contenders to The Revival after they get the opportunity at the coveted tag team titles held by Bobby Roode and Chad Gable.

While this may not sound like an idea that quickly springs to mind, it definitely gives more hope to the tag team division and also Raw in the process.
