10 Things We Learned From WWE Raw (April 10)

4. Asylum Seekers

Underneath The Miz and Maryse, the biggest names to make the leap from Smackdown Live! to Monday Night Raw were Bray Wyatt and Dean Ambrose. The former WWE Champion and current Intercontinental Champion bring pedigree, despite their growing irrelevance on Tuesday nights.

With their own slightly unique quirks, the caricatures are both WWE's broad-strokes takes on the 'weird'. It's a scattered weird, an occult weird, and even an unrealistic weird, but the company-mandated silliness has a more natural home on the three hour 'A' show compared to the wrestling-heavy Tuesday night production.

Wyatt's arrival is some canny gamesmanship from the company, as his muddled 'House of Horrors' match against Randy Orton now facilitates Raw's next pay-per-view with a top title in the absence of Brock Lesnar, and a likely follow up with the returning Finn Balor.

Meanwhile, Dean Ambrose can work to reestablish himself on the Raw midcard having carried the Intercontinental Title admirably since dethroning The Miz earlier this year. It also reunites all three members of The Shield for the first time since last July's Brand Extension, which has been a safe creative fallback for the company since the stable separated in 2014.
