10 Best WWE Raw Matches Of 2015

John Cena stole the show on more than one occasion with his 'U.S Open Challenge'...

Ratings have been on a downward spiral throughout much of 2015. World Wrestling Entertainment's power brokers have struggled to maintain fan interest, not to mention create new stars to pad out the roster. The ascent of several from the ranks of NXT has helped proceedings, but there's been a creeping malaise in WWE, which has threatened to become a crisis, this year. Reading fan comments on social media and wrestling-related forums makes it clear that people demand more from the biggest company in the land. Monday Night Raw often feels too long at 3 hours in length, which is something that has been a constant source of frustration for many supporters. Despite these reservations, digging through the 2015 Raw archives unveils an awful lot of grappling gold. Inside the ring at least, Monday Night Raw has provided many excellent moment and matches. This article aims to look at 10 of the best from the year which has whizzed past in the blink of an eye. Given that 2015 was dubbed the year of a 'female revolution', it's perhaps only fitting that the Divas division is highlighted. The women of WWE are certainly not alone, because the men under contract also put on quite the show, and these bouts are well-worth revisiting.
