Grading the RAW roster following WrestleMania 37

#2 RAW's main event is full of monsters and a legend killer

McIntyre and Strowman

The 2020 WWE Draft left RAW with five primary Superstars in the main event - WWE Champion Drew McIntyre, Randy Orton, AJ Styles, The Fiend and Braun Strowman.

Since the 2020 Draft, however, things have changed. Styles is now holding the RAW Tag Team titles alongside Omos. The Phenomenal One has traditionally been in the main event of either RAW or SmackDown, but has helped out the mid-card and tag divisions. Randy Orton took his place in the main event, but he is also possibly heading into the tag division in the near future, alongside Riddle.

Also in that time, Bobby Lashley dropped the United States Championship and won the WWE Championship, winning the title from The Miz after Miz cashed in on McIntyre. With that win, Lashley joined the RAW main event scene. While he's been on RAW sporadically following the Show of Shows, The Fiend is also a main-event caliber talent who could challenge anyone for the belt.

Braun Strowman has always been in and out of the title scenes on both RAW and SmackDown. He won the Universal Championship at last year's WrestleMania but dropped it at the end of the summer. Before that win, he was consistently used as a formidable obstacle for the likes of Roman Reigns and Brock Lesnar.

The Monster Among Men has campaigned for a title shot since Survivor Series but was denied. However, he won a match against McIntyre on the latest RAW, putting him in the triple threat title match at WrestleMania Backlash.

The names atop RAW are diverse but three of them (Orton, Lashley and Styles) are over 40, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Athletes like Tom Brady are playing at high levels into their early 40s, so things seem to have changed in professional sports.

One big question is how long does WWE plan on having Lashley as the top dog on RAW? Having MVP as his mouthpiece helps, but Strowman is usually a stepping stone. McIntyre has already won the title twice over the last year.

The wildcard is undoubtedly The Fiend. Outside of a returning Brock Lesnar, The Fiend seems like the only feasible option to eventually dethrone the All Mighty. Will it happen?

Grade: B+
