5 things WWE did right on tonight's Raw

The final PPV on the road to WrestleMania is over and we're less than a month away from the show of shows. Tonight's WWE Raw ended up setting the stage for a bunch of Mania matches, and also featured the much-awaited face-off between Batista and Triple H.

Let's look at four things WWE managed to execute perfectly on tonight's edition of Raw.

#5 Roman Reigns will stay out of the title picture

Reigns won't interfere in Rollins' matters heading into Mania

The Shield was advertised to open the show, and they did, much to the crowd's elation. After hinting again that last night was probably the final Shield reunion, Reigns said that he hadn't been in a singles match since a long while, and wanted to wrestle tonight.

Finally, it was acknowledged that it's Rollins' time under the spotlight as he is about to slay The Beast on the Grandest Stage of Them All. Reigns and Ambrose left the ring, in order to let their brother enjoy his moment on his own.

This is exactly what should happen. Even a slight indication of Reigns somehow getting inserted into the Universal title match would enrage the crowd to no end and this would result in Reigns getting booed out of the arena again. It's Rollins' time to shine and Reigns can still have a match on the Mania card without being in the title picture.

#4 Alexa Bliss will host WrestleMania 35

Bliss will host Mania!

With a surge of incredibly popular women on the roster over the past year, there's little room for Alexa Bliss on the main event scene at the moment. Her injuries have also contributed towards this and Bliss won't be featured in a Women's title match this year, unlike the previous two WrestleManias.

Nevertheless, Alexa Bliss will be taking on another role this year. The former Women's champion announced that she would be hosting WrestleMania 35, during "A Moment of Bliss" talk show. Bliss has the charisma and mic skills to handle this role to perfection.

It's better than not featuring her in any capacity on the Grandest Stage of Them All, considering how popular she is among the WWE Universe.

#3 Ronda Rousey is FINALLY a full-fledged heel

Ronda is a natural heel

Ronda Rousey is a bonafide badass and was one of the most arrogant women that ever stepped foot inside the octagon in UFC. She didn't like to make friends there and always made sure her opponents knew that.

When she came to WWE, she began acting all cheerful and had this huge smile on her face. Her incredible wrestling ability shadowed this fact, but it didn't take long for the fans to turn on her and boo her out of the building on several occasions.

Finally, Rousey snapped last week on Raw and beat the fan favourite Becky Lynch to a pulp. Before the assault, she made sure that the WWE Universe knew what she thought of them. Tonight, she made her point clear, and bashed the fans and the business like a true heel. She proceeded to brand pro-wrestling as being fake and said that she could even take her opponents in a handicap match.

This is the Ronda Rousey we need, and thankfully, we got her just in time for 'Mania.

#2 Batista and Triple are still being kept apart

These two need to be kept apart until Mania

Batista and Triple H were about to come face to face tonight on Raw. This happened, technically, as they didn't engage in any kind of physicality. Batista was surrounded by security and he addressed Triple from a safe distance.

Both veterans engaged in a war of words, with The Cerebral Assassin finally agreeing to a match at WrestleMania. Batista had always wanted this match to happen and to be the one to retire Triple H. He seemed glad when his wish was granted, but Triple H ended up making it a "No Holds Barred" match.

Not letting these two engage in a fight is the best route to go here. Let both of them stay away from each other until Mania, so that when they finally battle on the biggest stage there is, the fans would be more appreciative of the match.

#1 Reigns will possibly battle McIntyre at Mania

Reigns finally

has

a big-time match at Mania

Roman Reigns was out for his match against Baron Corbin, but was attacked by a sneaky Drew McIntyre from the back. The attack lasted for a while, but Rollins came out later to comfort him and take him to the back.

This was followed by Dean Ambrose requesting The Game for a match against McIntyre, which turned out to be a hard-hitting brawl. McIntyre disposed of Ambrose and pointed to the WrestleMania sign. It's clear that we are about to get Roman Reigns vs Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania. There wasn't a credible opponent for Reigns anyway and McIntyre is a great choice here.

Hopefully, Reigns puts McIntyre over at WrestleMania 35, as The Sottish Psychopath hasn't done anything of worth since the past several months, and a big win over Roman Reigns at the Show of Shows would elevate McIntyre into the main event scene immediately.
