4 Ups And Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 24th)

The Authority ends... but when will a new era begin?

By Scott Carlson /

WWE fans witnessed the end of an era Monday night, as the Authority was booted off of Raw forever (read: until they find a loophole or ratings drop another three tenths of a point). In some ways, that turned Monday€™s program into a reset of sorts, as some feuds were shuffled about and WWE started moving beyond the Authority angle and into what eventually will become the road to WrestleMania. The departure of Stephanie McMahon and Triple H meant that there was a power vacuum at the top. Who would fill that void? What would become of the members of Team Authority? Would Sting factor in to anything tonight? And would any other Divas make out? These were the questions coming out of Survivor Series. Raw provided some pretty good moments Monday night, with a lot of praise being heaped upon Dolph Ziggler for practically single-handedly carrying Team Cena across the finish line. It also featured yet another guest host whose cultural relevance was more than a decade ago €“ perfect time for Vince McMahon to insist they get booked for the show. So what else pumped fans up or forced them to bury their heads in their hands? Let€™s see what Raw offered up to those who tuned in.
