10 Reasons WWE Raw Will Never Be The Same Again

1. Because Vince McMahon Is Going Nowhere

The balance of power in NXT shifted recently, seemingly removing Triple H and Shawn Michaels from the top table in favour of longstanding toadies Bruce Prichard and/or John Laurinaitis. This was a reasonable acknowledgment that the show badly needed a reboot, regardless of the outcome.

This has never ever been mooted for Monday Night Raw and never ever will be. And even when they approach an attempt, it feels forced and phoney. It was in 2018 when The McMahons arrived and promised grand changes that never remotely materialised. If Vince McMahon believes nothing is wrong, then nothing is wrong. And the only thing he ever dislikes about Raw is other people's work.

If Triple H can't argue the toss about Monday's show in response to his father-in-law's own b*llocking of his Tuesday changes, nobody can. Every now and then, rumours emerge about a possible sale of the company, before disappearing from view because it's just not happening, is it?
