5 Burning Issues For WWE Raw Tonight (Oct 9)

5. TV Stars

The Miz and The Bar will talk it up real horror show this week, promising a gloating sermon on 'Miz TV' in the wake of their admittedly impressive beatdown of Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose on last week's edition of the show.

Sheamus and Cesaro taking the spots of Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel may have seemed unduly harsh on a rapidly improving Miztourage, but it was a necessary step in making the planned TLC six-man remotely credible. For a change, Roman Reigns' sneer the other week was actually well placed - the three really would stand no chance against the 'Hounds Of Justice' triumvirate.

Furthermore, the very fabric of The Bar's feud with Sheamus and Cesaro can be re-used. The villains have come together through mutual respect and shared disdain of the former Shield members, whilst Reigns, Rollins and Ambrose will have to park a host of personal problems if they want to stand a chance against their cohesive rivals. Expect much posturing to this end before it all actually kicks off on next week's go-home show.
