10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Dec 7)

1. Roman Reigns Drops To Alberto Del Rio

Feeding off an earlier point, Dean Ambrose could be proved correct in the main event. Earlier in the show, The Authority and the new League Of Nations could stack the odds against Roman Reigns once more. This time, he'd be forced to face both Alberto Del Rio in a one-on-one match, with the caveat that other League Of Nations members will act as Lumberjacks. Many might be expecting the babyface to turn the tide and leave with his hand raised, but that would be foolish. If WWE are serious about building Roman as a future champion, they need to continue booking him in situations where he doesn't always look superhuman. As a byproduct of that, Barrett - who is often treated as expendable in matches - could be the one who directly causes Reigns to lose. At the end of Smackdown, Reigns, Ambrose and The Usos stood tall to close out the show. The Authority shouldn't be happy about that, and they should look to squash the rebellion on Monday Night Raw. This is exactly what people would expect Triple H and Stephanie to do, because they shouldn't want to leave anything to chance. By winning, this could lead The Authority to explain why they chose Alberto Del Rio to be involved, because they knew he could get the job done.
