5 Biggest Things WWE Wanted Us To Know On Monday Night Raw

Was it worth the hype?
Was it worth the hype?

After a brilliant night with Survivor Series, WWE returned back to their proceedings with Monday Night Raw and pretty much disappointed the audience.

Since a lot of storylines on the red brand feel pretty forced, there's no feud except Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins that garners anyone's attention, at this point.

With Braun Strowman reportedly out with a shattered elbow, it remains to be seen what transpires next with Drew Mcintyre, Finn Balor, Elias, and Bobby Lashley.

Ronda Rousey's appearance on Raw certainly brought the rage, with legions of fans still wanting a fight between the Rowdy One and Becky Lynch.

Considering that was a night that was far far away from unpredictability, there were a still of things WWE vicariously told us through some of their segments and matches. What were they? Let's find out.

Here are the 5 biggest things Vince McMahon wanted us to know on Monday Night Raw.


#1 Drew Mcintyre and Bobby Lashley will be a part of the Universal Championship feud involving Braun Strowman

It seems pretty evident now

With Roman Reigns' absence continuing to hinder the creative plans on the red brand, the company is coerced to present Braun Strowman as their babyface.

Since the Monster Among Men is scheduled to lock horns with Baron Corbin at WWE TLC, it seems that the Lone Wolf definitely carries a backup plan to pull off a huge upset.

Drew Mcintyre and Bobby Lashley's rise on Monday Night Raw would prove beneficial in pulling off that upset, with Vince McMahon eventually inserting them in the Universal Championship picture.

Considering that Brock Lesnar has squared off against Braun Strowman multiple times, it won't make sense for the company to book another match for them at the Royal Rumble.

Baron Corbin's willingness to take control of the red brand would certainly coerce him to seek help from Bobby Lashley and Drew Mcintyre which would directly involve them in the Universal Championship match at the Royal Rumble.

#2 Finn Balor is only popular because of the 'Demon King' moniker

This is very disappointing
This is very disappointing

Despite being one of the most prolific athletes in the industry, Finn Balor has been sidelined to mediocrity on Monday Night Raw under Vince McMahon.

Since he is pretty directionless at this point, his current altercations with Drew Mcintyre are only a way to get the Scottish Terminator more momentum and heat on the red brand.

Whether it was his elimination at Survivor Series or his elimination tonight on Raw, it certainly seems that the company doesn't look at him as a star anymore.

The only saving grace for the First-Ever Universal Champion is his 'Demon King' moniker that keeps the fans anticipated and excited about him.

While his in-ring style is pretty unique and he indeed brings everything to the table as far as his performances are concerned, it's a damn shame that the longest reigning NXT Champion might never get the affirmation he deserves from the Boss.

#3 Roll up's are the only way to get a feud going

What was that?
What was that?

A genuine reason why the creative team runs out of plans most of the time is due to their lack of involvement in the current feuds that are transpiring on Monday Night Raw.

One of the biggest disappointments came tonight when Chad Gable and Bobby Roode pulled off an upset against the Authors of Pain in a tag-team match.

While the match was average, nobody expected the Raw Tag-Team Champions to lose to the opposition in such fashion, especially after the domination they have displayed lately.

This certainly brings less legitimacy on such prolific teams and make roll-ups feel like an excuse to carry the feud whilst making the losing side look strong.

The same thing transpired in Ruby Riott's match against Natalya, where the latter got the better off the former NXT star via roll up which certainly progresses the feud to next week.

#4 Ruthless Aggression is taking them to the main event of WrestleMania

Things are getting intense
Things are getting intense

In what felt like a brilliant way to advance the animosity, Charlotte Flair's heel turn is all what it took to get the entire world talking about a possible headlining match between her, Ronda Rousey, and Becky Lynch.

With Becky Lynch rising to become one of the biggest female stars this company has seen in a long long time, the Rowdy One has two superstars to watch out for after she's done with Nia Jax.

There's no denying that the Raw Women's Champions brought her rage on full display by cutting one hell of a promo before defending her title in the Staples Center.

The Rowdy One certainly took the better off Mickie James and dominated the entire match to make a gigantic statement to Charlotte and the Relentless One in Becky Lynch.

If there's anything to take into consideration from this Ruthless Aggression displayed by all the ladies, then we could very well see WrestleMania culminating with a historical women's main-event.

#5 All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy

The Villain has arrived
The Villain has arrived

Despite sharing one of the strongest bonds with Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose's new 'villainous' side has garnered tremendous adulation from fans all over the world.

The WWE Universe has appreciated the current altercations between Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins, and with the company focusing on their rivalry tonight, it seems TLC will be one hell of a ride.

Since Seth Rollins will be defending his Intercontinental Championship, the Lunatic Fringe is leaving no stone unturned to let the Architect know he feels about him and Roman Reigns,

After the former WWE Champion brought the Big Dog's current battle with Leukemia, it certainly seems that Ambrose has no idea what he's doing which makes his character more interesting and unpredictable.

It definitely catapults the idea of Ambrose's unforgiving nature who would do anything in his power to make Rollins' life a living hell.
