WWE was live from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan and delivered another entertaining episode of Monday Night Raw. Tons of top segments were booked and it has definitely elevated expectations of what is next to come.
Whether it was Roman Reigns' confrontation with Vince McMahon or John Cena's much-anticipated address to the Deadman, the WWE has got the world talking again. So, without further ado, let's have a look at the five biggest talking points from Monday Night Raw.
#5 Braun Strowman's Road to WrestleMania
The Monster among Men has been a delight to watch on Monday Night Raw and sometimes remains the only saving grace of the show. However, despite being one of the biggest Superstars in the WWE, the monstrous force has been relegated to the tag team division.
Kurt Angle booked a Tag Team Battle Royal for the main event after The Bar were attacked by the whole Tag Team division. Strowman forced his way into the match, to make his own Road to WrestleMania and was highly successful by winning the Battle Royal, without a partner.
This means that the Monster among Men could be facing the Raw Tag Team Champions in a slightly strange encounter at the 'Grandest Stage of them All'. There is no confirmation regarding Braun's partner, but his victory definitely has got the internet talking.
#4 A historical match has been planned
After months of speculation, WWE has finally confirmed that there will be an iconic Fabulous Moolah Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania this year.
With the company confirming the match on Raw last night, the chances of booking another Men's Battle Royal could be on the works too.
The announcement definitely got the world talking and considering that the Women's division is continuing to dominate the company like never before, a bout of this calibre certainly deserves a recognition at the Super Dome.
#3 Seth Rollins and Finn Balor steal the show
The Intercontinental Championship match has already created a lot of excitement among the hardcore WWE fans and judging by the build-up, it's safe to say the match will be awesome.
The Miz sat down with Seth Rollins and Finn Balor in an entertaining segment of the Miz TV, with all the three superstars managing to roast each other. While the segment was great, the show-stopping match between Rollins and Balor was even better.
The match ended with a slightly average finish but the it definitely got the crowd excited and buzzing. WWE has done a great job in booking top quality matches on free television and if these performances are any indicator, then we could be getting a thrilling encounter at 'Mania.
#2 Roman Reigns continues on his quest
Despite the disappointment caused by Brock Lesnar's absence tonight on Raw, the Big Dog continued to spill the truth and had some inflammatory comments about the Universal Champion.
Kurt Angle's introductory segment was interrupted by Roman, who did not waste much time talking and instantly went to the back to confront the Chairman of the Board himself.
Vince McMahon's backstage altercation with Roman Reigns was definitely something the fans were not expecting. Moreover, the Big Dog has been temporarily suspended (in storyline), but there's no denying that he has elevated this feud more than ever and the crowd is more than willing to see these two break each other in half come WrestleMania.
#1 One more match
John Cena returned to Monday Night Raw after failing to capture the WWE Championship at Fastlane, and instantly addressed his intentions of being at WrestleMania one way or the other.
The segment was entertaining with John claiming he would enter the Super Dome as a fan and went into the crowd to heat things up a little. However, the biggest talking point of Monday Night Raw came when the Franchise Player took the microphone and challenged the Phenom for one final match at the 'show of shows'.
John Cena definitely got the crowd on its feet with the epic WrestleMania challenge, and with the Road to WrestleMania continuing to unfold, it is possible that the Phenom might finally show up.
