Austin Theory had yet another meeting with Vince McMahon on RAW, with the chairman of WWE telling him that he would get his match with Finn Balor.

This time around, Theory finally got the win and launched a post-match assault just as McMahon wanted him to. Theory's push was temporarily halted, but the way he is consistently featured alongside Vince McMahon instantly elevates his status as a star.

The former NXT star's push has officially resumed, and he will be one of the long-term focuses for WWE.

#2. The Alpha Academy and RK-Bro feud resumes

RK-Bro may have lost the RAW Tag Team Titles, but they are still pursuing it a week later. The Alpha Academy held a graduation ceremony this week, one that perfectly highlighted Gable's charisma on the mic.

Riddle interfered wearing a graduation dress, and the segment soon devolved into chaos. Randy Orton landed the RKO and the new tag team champions were peddling backwards as Orton and Riddle stood tall in the end. The feud has resumed, but nothing about the way the segment played out indicated that the babyfaces will re-capture the titles anytime soon. If anything, this will be a catalyst for their WrestleMania storyline.
