10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (April 4)
8. Bulletproof Debuts
Talk is cheap, but there has been discussion amongst fans that both Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson will skip the NXT developmental system and head straight to the main WWE roster. This could be the ideal way to introduce Finn Balor to shows like Raw and SmackDown. After all, Balor was aligned with both men in New Japan Pro Wrestling as the Bullet Club.
It's more realistic that WWE will choose to call any potential faction something else, and Bullet Proof is already one term that has been marketed by Balor himself. That would be the perfect name for any new stable, especially because there are already t-shirts out there to merchandise it with. Backstage, guys like the Social Outcasts could be found laid out, possibly with a calling card laying close by.
The announcers could sell confusion, noting that Heath Slater was all set to face AJ Styles later in the broadcast. Now, that match is in jeopardy due to a seemingly random attack. Michael Cole would also look to discuss the cards with bullets on them laying next to the crime scene, hinting that Balor, Anderson and Gallows were behind things.
