5 Biggest things WWE secretly told us on Monday Night Raw

A blockbuster night?

In what was a pretty reasonable edition of Monday Night Raw, WWE advanced the proceedings for Elimination Chamber whilst garnering significant momentum for WrestleMania 35.

The creative team were pretty predictable in their booking, and while the show felt flat on most occasions, Becky Lynch's solid presence saved WWE's flagship show.

Finn Balor locked horns with Lio Rush and could have a solid opportunity to fight for the Intercontinental Championship against Bobby Lashley at the Elimination Chamber.

Sasha Banks and Bayley were successful in moving one step closer to the historical Women's Tag-Team Championships which would see six top female teams from both brands tear each other apart inside the barbaric cage.

While many fans questioned Dean Ambrose's role on Monday Night Raw tonight, there's no denying now that the Lunatic Fringe is legitimately on his way out of Vince McMahon's billion dollar company.

Regardless of what transpired, there are still a lot of things that the company tried to tell us vicariously through some of their segments and matches tonight. What were they? Let's find out.

Here are the 5 biggest things WWE secretly told us on Monday Night Raw.


#1 Elias should have never been a babyface

Has Elias been forgotten?
Has Elias been forgotten?

Despite being one of the most talented and unique superstars on the main roster, Elias has failed to bring any rejuvenation in his character ever since he turned face.

The Living Truth isn't as compelling as he was back in the day when he gravitated nuclear heat for trolling the WWE Universe every single week.

Considering that he has turned heel again, it all seems to be a gigantic mistake made by the management of turning Elias into a babyface in the first place.

Since he's currently locked in a feud with Jeff Jarrett and Road Dogg, this could be an ideal opportunity for the creative team to bring more intrigue to his character.

#2 Becky Lynch Vs. Stephanie McMahon could be in for the future

Becky Lynch has ascended to become one of the biggest things in the world of professional wrestling and she deserves all the adulation that she is currently receiving from the WWE Universe.

Stephanie McMahon publicly invited the Irish Lass Kicker on Monday Night Raw and straight-face advised her to get medical attention for a possible knee injury.

While Lynch refused to get medical help on her Road to WrestleMania 35, suspending her infinitely was a clinical way in gravitating more eyes on Becky's journey to the top.

Vince McMahon literally planted the seeds of having Becky locking horns with Stephanie McMahon in the future considering the fact that The Man has garnered striking comparisons with Stone Cold Steve Austin and CM Punk.

With Becky now out of the main event spot for now, this could also be an ideal way to add more fuel to the fire by inserting Charlotte as Becky Lynch's replacement for WrestleMania.

#3 Braun Strowman is more interested in inflicting pain than winning matches

Has Strowman lost his momentum?

In what could really have been one of the biggest stars in Vince McMahon's billion dollar company, Braun Strowman has not been the very best version of himself on Monday Night Raw.

The Monster Among Men continues to be featured in prominent feuds but lacks enough intrigue to make him look like a serious contender for replacing Roman Reigns as WWE's top guy.

Considering that he teamed up with Kurt Angle tonight to seek redemption from Drew Mcintyre and Baron Corbin, the main event ended in disappointing fashion when the Monster got disqualified for tussling it out with Corbin.

Since the finish wasn't appreciated by the fans, it definitely seems that the former Raw Tag-Team Champion is more about inflicting harm to his opponents than actually winning a match.

There's no denying that he has really lost his momentum going in to WrestleMania 35, and with many superstars now willing to step up to take Roman's spot, it seems unlikely that he will ever get his hands on the mountain top.

#4 Dean Ambrose is legitimately leaving the WWE

A damn shame, this one
A damn shame, this one

Widely hailed as one of the most vicious heels on the independent circuits, Dean Ambrose has become an afterthought on Monday Night Raw.

Ever since the news of him leaving WWE broke out, legions of fans expected Vince McMahon to convince the Lunatic Fringe to stay and give him some creative direction moving forward.

Despite engaging in a heated confrontation with Triple H last week, the former WWE Champion has been portrayed as a joke lately, with the self-proclaimed 'Moral Compass' of the WWE intervening A Moment of Bliss tonight.

Moreover, the creative team literally disappointed in presenting EC3 on the main roster, with the NXT sensation failing to bring any charisma and personality to the squared circle.

Since the Lunatic Fringe has been losing back to back on the main roster, it definitely seems that he is legitimately on his way out of Vince McMahon's billion dollar company and there's no other possible dimension to it.

#5 Ronda Rousey will continue being a fighting champion and won't turn heel

There you go
There you go

In what was an intimidating backstage segment between Ronda Rousey and Becky Lynch, the Rowdy One took no time in taunting the Irish Lass Kicker for her actions after the latter took out Stephanie McMahon tonight.

The Raw Women's Champion condemned Becky's actions and called her unprofessional leading up to their first WrestleMania main event in New Jersey this year.

While this was an incredible way to keep the intrigue going, the Rowdy One also did something similar when she arrived and went straight to the Authority.

Considering that The Man has scratched and clawed her way to the top, her attack on Stephanie McMahon made her look like a million bucks coming out of the segment.

Since the Raw Women's Champion continued being promoted as a fighting champion, there's no way Vince McMahon would turn her heel in this feud.
