8 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (Nov 16)

Who will Bray Wyatt choose to face the Brothers of Destruction?

Someday, someone is going to come up with a syndrome name for how WWE can take fans€™ interest and curiosity and flush it in a matter of days. For now, we€™ll have to just say, €œBecause WWE.€ What specifically is this referencing? Go back one week to just after the devastating Seth Rollins injury that threatened to derail WWE€™s plans. The injury also opened the door to a championship tournament that sparked some curiosity and interest into who would populate the brackets (Would Daniel Bryan return? Would stars like Rob Van Dam come back for a limited engagement?) and whether there would be any big surprises. Instead, we got 15 midcarders and Roman Reigns. No offense to the other 15, but Titus O€™Neil and Kalisto in the title hunt? Did anyone buy Big Show or the Miz as a threat? There are just too few realistic options at this point. Then consider the Wyatt Family storyline with the Undertaker and Kane. Bray Wyatt alleged that he stole their powers and €œconsumed their souls.€ So what happened? The Brothers of Destruction returned to confront them, and rather than being beaten down in their €œweakened€ state to set up a massive Survivor Series match where they needed to enlist help, Kane and Taker decimated the entire family in less than five minutes. Oh, and now they€™re holding a simple tag team match against two Wyatts after beating all four. So much for the intrigue. There€™s still one more episode of Raw before we get to Survivor Series itself €“ and the quarterfinals of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship tournament €“ so let€™s see what loose ends need to be tied up.
