10 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (Aug 8)

2. Will Bryan And Foley Stay Courteous?

Remember way back when the general managers of Raw and SmackDown were announced and both men pledged to be respectful and have some friendly competition? It looks like that détente could break down after less than a month, and all it took was some sneak attacks by a Beast and a Viper.

After Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar invaded Raw and SmackDown, respectively, last week, GMs Mick Foley and Daniel Bryan will meet on Raw Monday night to discuss the current situation. But could tensions already be rising between the two brands? And could the rivalry between Orton and Lesnar affect the relationship between the two GMs? Maybe it starts off with some good-natured ribbing and quickly degenerates into more pointed “jokes” and then outright yelling. Or perhaps it could just be a duller-than-dishwater confrontation.

Regardless, the one thing that’s safe to say is that both GMs have said they want the focus of WWE to be on the performers, so hopefully that will be carried out here and this won’t dominate multiple segments Monday night.
