At Payback, Vince McMahon will decide who is calling the shots on Monday Night Raw. It's either going to be Shane or Stephanie McMahon, and there's a fair chance that it'll be the male sibling who gets the nod.

Assuming he does, it makes sense to believe he will try and instigate some changes to the flagship show.

On television, Shane's promos have made one thing clear, he realises that some fresh faces are needed at the top. In a WWE context, AJ Styles is very much a refreshing figure, and the same could be said for Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.

As a trio - with AJ as the centrepiece - they'd play a huge role in Shane's revamped Raw.

That would certainly make things feel different on the program, one which has become stale in format and presentation over the past few years. Bringing out AJ Styles as the new WWE World Champion with a smile on his face, Shane would usher in a new era on Monday nights.
