10 Booking Steps For WWE Monday Night Raw (Oct 19)

1. One Final Push For Hell In A Cell

WWE have announced that 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin will appear on the upcoming edition of Monday Night Raw. Austin himself has tweeted that he won't be on the actual show, but will be attendance. After it goes off the air, Austin is scheduled to interview 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar on the WWE Network. The company have an opportunity to do something unique here. Instead of simply booking Lesnar and The Undertaker to go face-to-face, Brock could destroy Austin, Michaels and Flair. On the microphone, Paul Heyman could relay the point that this is a message from Lesnar to his opponent at Hell In A Cell. By rampaging through wrestlers from 'Taker's generation, Brock would be sending the ultimate taunt. Of course, this would mean that the WWE Network interview between Austin and Lesnar wouldn't go ahead, but there's time for that in the future. Whatever they choose to do, there needs to be a serious effort to paint Hell In A Cell as the final battle between Undertaker and Brock Lesnar. That hasn't been hyped enough in the build up the match.
