10 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (Dec 7)
Will Rob Van Dam return?
When WWE World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus announced the formation of a new faction on Raw last week, it understandably was met with a mixed reaction. The new League of Nations stable is a collection of mid-to-upper-card wrestlers who were previously treading water, so it raises the question of whether this group even though it includes the world champ, U.S. champ and King of the Ring will be treated as a powerful group or is just a stable of goofs for Roman Reigns to demolish. Still, the fact that WWE did something like this rather than have the Authority rally around Sheamus and coddle him is a step in a different (and quite possibly, right) direction. Sheamus utilizing previous partnerships with other wrestlers makes perfect sense, and weve seen champions surround themselves with superstars before to help protect his title. This doesnt suddenly mean that Sheamus is the answer or that Reigns is now the universally accepted underdog of fans, but its far more intriguing than Triple H and Stephanie McMahon serving as the champs protectors.
