10 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (Jan 11)
Brock is back, but Cena's gone. How will all of this work out?
WWE started off 2016 in fine fashion last week with an episode of Raw that managed to avoid several of the pitfalls that plagued the companys flagship program last year, but the goodwill was destined to be short-lived. Despite a solid (if unspectacular) Raw, bad news almost immediately hit WWE, with John Cena going down with a shoulder injury that required surgery, potentially putting him on the shelf until the summer. So instead of talking about WWE building for the future and taking a daring risk by making Roman Reigns defend the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the Royal Rumble match (the first time the title will be defended in the Rumble), Were left talking about whether WWE is snake-bitten. The list of superstars on the injured list reads like an all-star roster: Cena, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, Cesaro, Sting, Nikki Bella and others. The joke on this site about Vince McMahon wanting to encase Reigns in bubble wrap would be funny if it werent so morbid right now. But we still have an episode of Raw in front of us, just two weeks before the Royal Rumble, the official kickoff of the Road to WrestleMania. Injuries or not, the march to Dallas will continue, so we should take a look at some of the big questions that will need answering when Raw goes live Monday night.
