5 biggest questions from WWE RAW, NXT, and SmackDown this week

#4. What is WWE looking to do with Keith Lee and Karrion Kross on RAW?

Keith “Bearcat” Lee returned to WWE RAW after some time away from the ring. He defeated Akira Tozawa with ease to make another statement on the brand.

Meanwhile, Karrion Kross cut a backstage promo before ripping through Jaxson Ryker in the ring. Both men are former NXT Champions and were dominating during their time on the Black and Gold brand.

Why are the two superstars competing in squash matches on RAW? Shouldn’t one of the two have entered the WWE Championship picture to challenge Big E?

WWE will need to build Kross and Lee as dominant forces on RAW and SmackDown. Squash matches will only help the two men stay busy for some time.

#3. Why is Isaiah “Swerve” Scott not defending his NXT North American Championship?

Isaiah “Swerve” Scott defeated Bronson Reed to win the WWE NXT North American Championship in late June. Since his victory, Scott has only competed in one tag team match against Legado Del Fantasma.

Meanwhile, he has not defended his NXT North American Championship even once since his win. Why isn't WWE building a championship storyline for Scott? Will his inability to defend his title affect the value of the NXT North American Championship?

Hit Row has already been drafted to SmackDown and Scott is yet to make his first title defense. Santos Escobar is the front runner to take on Scott for the title. However, WWE will need to book their match sooner rather than later to keep the action ticking.
