10 Things To Expect From WWE Raw Tonight (April 11)
Will Shane McMahon run the show once more? And could we finally see the debut of Bullet Club?
Last week's Raw must be considered one of the most uneventful post-'Mania shows in recent memory. Although the last hour certainly perked up with the debut of Enzo and Cass, as well as an excellent main event match, there was no monumental moment we've become accustomed to in previous years.
Cesaro's long-awaited return from injury was certainly a great moment, but it paled in comparison to Ziggler's cash-in or Lesnar's comeback. Hopefully, then, this week's instalment can make up for it.
WWE certainly have enough intriguing threads to build upon - AJ Styles' number one contender status chief among them. With Roman Reigns now seemingly a tweener, crowd reactions and promos are sure to be as fascinating a part of their feud as the action itself.
10. More Shane McMahon
WWE.com's official Raw preview is interestingly fixated with Shane McMahon, which surely implies that he'll find himself on the show tonight. The article reads:
'It’s clear that WWE’s Prodigal Son didn’t fall on his face as The Chairman had hoped, and it’s equally clear that the WWE Universe likes the way Shane runs things. Will the risk-taking Shane-O-Mac have the opportunity to give us another crowd-pleasing edition of Raw? What might Shane’s success last week mean for The Authority?'
If we ignore the idea that "Shane's Raw" was essentially the same as any other in structure and tone, it'll surely be interesting to see what Vince's son will do.
On the other hand, the more influence Shane is granted, the more irrelevant his 'Mania match with Undertaker becomes. He lost, so surely he should be kept well away from the condition he specifically failed to earn.
