10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (April 4)

10. Shane McMahon Welcomes Everyone To His WWE Raw

Should Shane McMahon emerge victorious over The Undertaker at WrestleMania, it'd make sense for Raw to open with the 'Boy Wonder'. There's been much talk about the return of the 'Brand Extension', once again splitting Raw and SmackDown into separate rosters. If that's going to happen, Shane must win inside Hell In A Cell.

Ideally, he'd be pretty banged up on Monday Night Raw, but determined to welcome WWE fans to his new vision for what the show should be. Keeping the introduction short and sweet would be advised, because the post-WrestleMania broadcast normally plays to one of the most raucous crowds of the entire year. They will want action, not long-winded diatribes from authority figures.

Besides, there would be time for more of that later. Shane should state that his Monday Night Raw is all about building for the future, instead of self-preservation. On that note, he could announce a contendership match for the WWE Intercontinental Title which would take place next. That bout could see Sami Zayn challenge Kevin Owens to earn a future one-on-one crack at the gold.
