10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Aug 1)

7. Neville & Cesaro Beat Chris Jericho & Rusev

Returning to action last week, Neville has fully recovered from his ankle injury suffered on the March 12 edition of Raw. Going down during a match against Chris Jericho, the high-flying Englishman was forced to miss WrestleMania and has only recently made a comeback. WWE can use that to give his return some meaning.

Along the way, the company can pitch Cesaro opposite Rusev for the WWE United States Title somewhere down the line. As Cesaro and Neville would be teaming together, it'd only be fitting that Rusev picked Chris Jericho to be his tag-team partner. Then, creative can exploit the previous injury to Neville.

Losses don't really harm Y2J these days, he's an established veteran. Having Neville go over him would only mean more when Jericho ambushed the Geordie star post-match, attempting to break his ankle all over again.

Thankfully, officials would stop him, but that threat could be enough for Neville to pursue a feud with the Canadian going forward. At the same time, Cesaro and Rusev would be brawling the back, integrating two new rivalries into the one segment.
