10 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (Feb 15)

One week before Fastlane, only four matches official, and WrestleMania looming.

When Raw goes live Monday night, we will officially be in the post-Daniel Bryan era of WWE. That might sound strange considering he hadn€™t wrestled in many months prior to last week€™s retirement, but even in his absence, Bryan cast a long shadow over WWE. Fans openly speculated on whether and when he would return to action, wondering if he would compete in the Royal Rumble, or WrestleMania, or show up on the Raw after Mania. Now, fans know the answer to all of these questions and can stop fantasy booking Bryan€™s return. Welcome back to Earth. Reality might sting, but at least we can all deal in it a little more now and focus on what€™s in front of us. And what€™s in front of us is a Fastlane PPV that has only four matches announced thus far €“ two of which are Divas bouts. That means that at least three matches need to be booked this week to fill out the card. The Dean Ambrose/Brock Lesnar feud that has developed in recent weeks might be the most interesting thing going right now, if only because Ambrose just doesn€™t care about Lesnar€™s aura and is fine with getting pulverized. Watching Dean take the abuse and get up for more is admirable €“ if not downright crazy. Someone, book this match for Mania. So, let€™s take a look at the big questions that WWE needs to answer on Raw Monday night€

He fortunately became a fan in time for WrestleMania III and came back as a fan after a long high school hiatus before WM XIV. Monday nights in the Carlson household are reserved for viewing Raw -- for better or worse.
