10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (June 6)
8. Titus O'Neil Defeats Each Of The Social Outcasts
Keeping the intense nature of the show going, the announcers could reveal that Titus O'Neil has been told by Shane and Stephanie to prove he's worthy of facing Rusev for the WWE United States Title. In order to do so, he must run a gauntlet against The Social Outcasts on Raw.
The Outcasts are pretty expendable, not because there isn't talent there, but simply due to the very nature of their gimmick. They can take numerous losses without losing face, because fans don't expect to see them winning every week. That would play into O'Neil's favour, he'd beat every member of the faction in quick order.
Lastly, Titus defeats Heath Slater, before snatching the microphone from the ring announcer and asking if the crowd think he's earned a shot against Rusev. Naturally, after seeing such an impressive display, the audience would be firmly behind the pumped up babyface.
Encouraging Rusev to come and get some, O'Neil faces the entrance ramp as the Bulgarian's music plays. Strangely, only Lana would come out onto the ramp, and she wouldn't be smiling.
