10 Booking Steps For WWE Monday Night Raw

Should a returning Masked Kane confront Sting on this week's Raw?

This past week's episode of Monday Night Raw felt like a smoother show than in weeks before. Of course, that's an arguable point, the 3-hour length is still a source of frustration, and WWE are far from doing everything right. That said, at least there was an abundance of in-ring action on the show, a lot of which featured Seth Rollins. Rollins is getting a lot of airtime right now, and rightfully so. As the reigning WWE World Heavyweight and United States Champion, the man should definitely be a focal point of the flagship program. Granted, his show-opening promo was a little drawn out, and it wasn't good he received 'boring' chants from the live crowd, but the former member of The Shield rescued it well. In other news, the ongoing saga involving Dolph Ziggler, Lana, Rusev and Summer Rae is chugging along. An injury to Lana means the rivalry looks set to be extended, which may hurt it in the long run. Speaking of angles involving the WWE Divas, Charlotte is set to battle Nikki Bella for the Divas Title on the upcoming episode. That's not the only match that has been made. The New Day will also defend the WWE Tag-Team Titles against The Prime Time Players, with the winner facing The Dudley Boyz at Night Of Champions. Those bouts are confirmed, but this article theorises just what else might happen on Monday Night Raw this coming week.
