10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Feb 27)
9. The Club Defeat Sheamus & Cesaro
It was pretty stupid to have Roman Reigns run through the reigning Raw Tag-Team Champions with relative ease on last week's show. Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson were left looking like chumps just before they defend their belts against Enzo Amore and Big Cass at Fastlane. It served no purpose to have one man beat them handily.
Surely The Shining Stars (or another low-level tag-team) would have been better-suited to this role on last week's Raw; instead, the current champions of the division were left cold, and that can't sit well with anyone who cheered when Gallows and Anderson were finally given the titles at Royal Rumble.
The champions need reheating in time for Sunday's pay-per-view by winning this coming week.
As Sheamus and Cesaro are going through some problems of their own, the former Raw Tag-Team Champs are the ideal candidates to stare at the lights for Gallows and Anderson.
Post-match, Enzo Amore and Big Cass should come out to cut a promo and build towards their title opportunity at Fastlane. This is simple storytelling, and refrains from depicting the champions as fodder.
