Monday night lacked the traditional party atmosphere that viewers have come to expect from these 'night after WrestleMania' Raws. It's almost like WWE wants to recondition the audience and move away from that style over the next few years.

Is...is the post-'Mania Raw trend dead?

This week's episode of the flagship suggests so. The usual shocking debuts never came, and even returns booked along those lines, from a repackaged Elias/Ezekiel and Veer Mahaan, lacked a bit of sizzle - one of those guys has been gone so long anyway, and Veer has been "Coming Soon" for months.

The broadcast's conclusion was abrupt and unsatisfying too. No, nothing about Monday's Raw came across as a celebration designed to cap off WrestleMania week. In fact, if anything, it was just another episode of regular telly.
