17 Things You Probably Missed From WWE Raw (21 Oct)
Cain Velasquez becomes Shane McMahon, "Scott Steiner" drops by and more...
Listen closely on Monday and you'd have heard veteran announcer Jerry Lawler explicitly say that Kevin Owens was making his "debut".

That's why they ran some brief highlight packages for Raw stars like Andrade, Aleister Black and Buddy Murphy, and it's why KO's reintroduction was greeted with such surprise. How long will this last? Probably a few weeks, at least.
This week's Raw managed 17 hidden gems (one better than last week's episode), and they're all here for you to enjoy.

Things you might've missed in the run up to the show include Rusev shutting down fans who were hijacking his segment, a cosplay cameo for someone you'll probably never see in the company again, proof that WWE announcers can't improv and more...
