9 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (Nov 30)

Will anyone tune in to see Sheamus as WWE champion?

If anyone was running around WWE headquarters this week yelling, €œEverything is fine!€ then they needed their head examined. The company took an opportunity to head in a new, bold direction and promptly flushed it in favor of continuing down a road of the same old, same old. The higher-ups apparently are convinced that Roman Reigns is the guy to lead WWE into the future, but they also feel that he needs a Daniel Bryan-esque push to make him look more like an underdog, resulting in an immensely unsatisfying finish to Survivor Series last week. Fans were left with a rushed main event €“ a 9-minute match that should have been twice as long because of the €œepic€ nature of two best friends fighting over the world championship €“ and a post-match angle that lasted almost as long. Now WWE heads into the final weeks of 2015 with Sheamus €“ a man who has lost half of his televised matches since returning, including bouts to Dolph Ziggler, Sheamus, Dean Ambrose, Neville and others €“ as the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. This is a man who hasn€™t had a serious feud since the summer€™s back-and-forth with Randy Orton €“ which the Viper won. With that said, WWE will begin Monday night to steamroll toward the rapidly approaching TLC PPV, the final special event of the year. It will be interesting to see whether it€™s just business as usual or if WWE will try to shake things up a little before heading into 2016 €“ and the Road to WrestleMania XXXII. So what are the questions that need to be answered on Monday Night Raw? Let€™s find out€

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.
