10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Jan 16)

At points, the ongoing feud pitting Enzo Amore and Big Cass against Rusev and Lana has felt interminable. Jinder Mahal has been drafted into proceedings more recently, aligning with his Bulgarian peer against a more popular tag-team. On Raw, it may be time to put things to bed between both units.

Last week, Stephanie McMahon forced Sasha Banks to compete in a tag bout despite her injuries. The Commissioner could do the same to Enzo Amore this week, pushing him into a physical situation even when he's not 100% healthy.

Of course, this would theoretically make Big Cass and Enzo the underdogs against a fighting fit Rusev and Mahal. In the end though, it'd be the babyface tandem who come out with their hands raised.

Giving Amore's fans the ultimate moment, Enzo would be the one to pin Rusev. WWE don't need to split the Bulgarian from Mahal in the aftermath, because he would have been taken out by Cass moments earlier.

Following this match, all concerned can move on just in time for the Royal Rumble.
