10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Jan 11)

10. Chris Jericho And Kalisto Face The New Day

It'd be nice for WWE to open up Monday Night Raw with an actual wrestling match. Last week, Chris Jericho returned to confront The New Day. The Canadian can receive a relatively tepid response at times, depending on what he's doing, but he'd still provide a big pop to open up Raw with. As soon as his music hit, it makes sense to imagine that people would respond. Sin Cara is currently on the shelf nursing an injury. Along with Kalisto as The Lucha Dragons, the team were firmly in the mix for the WWE Tag-Team Titles. Of course, those belts are held by The New Day, who don't appear to have any challengers on the horizon at the moment. Therefore, WWE may wish to keep Kalisto in the hunt, but team him with Jericho. The promotion are exploring the prospect of pushing Kalisto at the moment. Reservations are still held over his size - or lack of it - but WWE have to at least try to capitalise on the masked man's exciting in-ring style. There's an argument to be made that having New Day lose again hurts them, but if Kalisto was given the pin it'd pave the way for that future title shot when Sin Cara returns.
