10 Booking Steps For WWE Raw (Nov 30)

1. Roman Reigns Faces 'King' Barrett

The main event of last week's episode of Raw could directly feed into the featured contest on this coming edition of the show. 'King' Barrett interfered in Rusev's match against Roman Reigns. This ultimately proved fruitless, as Reigns managed to fend off the pair, also fighting off Sheamus. It makes sense that Reigns would have to battle his way through these new members of The Authority. Therefore, there are worse ideas than giving Barrett a competitive match against Roman Reigns. The Englishman needs to have hard-fought matches in order to be taken seriously. Thankfully, the writing staff gave moved away from his cartoon-like royal gimmick, and focused more on his strengths during promos. His in-ring skills are also worthwhile, which he could prove against Roman. The match wouldn't necessarily need to have a super-clean finish. In fact, it'd likely be better if it didn't. If WWE are serious about having Reigns go down a 'Lone Wolf' route, he can't always come out on top. Rusev and Sheamus could interfere, costing Barrett the bout, but also taking the opportunity to beat down the main WWE Title challenger.
