5 things that should've happened on Raw this week

#2 Strowman gets a serious direction on the road to WrestleMania

Strowman needs a direction as Wrestlemania is fastly approaching

The Raw writing team is mostly criticised for two things. First is their lack of creative booking and second is their underutilisation of younger talent. While both those statements are blatantly true, this week on the flagship show WWE presented a segment that tried to solve both those issues. They showed Braun Strowman taking on the blazing hot Elias in a Symphony of Destruction match.

Even though this match was a fun light-hearted bout, that utilised the comic genius in Strowman and excellent heel work of Elias, it defeated the purpose of one of those previously mentioned issues.

Moreover, it risks Strowman losing direction on the road to the most important show of the year. As WWE is leaning onto Strowman as a comic act instead of the monster he truly is not an advantage heading into Wrestlemania.

Instead of wasting a valuable week on the road to Wrestlemania WWE should’ve given Strowman a direction that would've truly paved his path to a blockbuster match at Wrestlemania 34. Otherwise, there is a risk that WWE might have him thrown into another Andre the Giant memorial battle royal (if it’s not cancelled) or a multi-man bout.

Strowman is hot properly and by WWE wasting these golden opportunities to give him a serious narrative to follow, they might never have the chance to pull the trigger on him again.
