To paraphrase the great Lance Storm: allow me to be serious for a moment. After a very, very solid few months of Raw that saw some brilliant moments of TV courtesy of the John Cena Open Challenge, Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker doing their thing, the untouchable New Day's antics and the likes of Cesaro, Owens, Rusev and Ziggler getting the chance to put on great, lengthy TV matches, WWE's flagship show finds itself in something of a creative rut again. Now, any modern day WWE fan will hardly be stunned at such a turn of events; the product often finds itself on cruise control once the fallout from SummerSlam has died down and before the build to WrestleMania properly gets under way, but given that the company currently has one of the most talented rosters on record on its books, there really seems to be no excuse for the weekly shows failing to get any steam going. Despite that, though, there's a nagging sense that WWE is failing to make things click properly. What should be great angles (Lesnar/Taker III, New Day vs The Dudleys, The Diva Revolution, Cena's run as US champ) feel like they're falling flat, while the less said about The Authority's strange presence and the whole Kane....thing....the better. With Survivor Series looming and the Road To Wrestlemania now on the horizon, the time to get things back on track is now. History suggests they usually turn it around in time for the Show Of All Shows, but here are some ideas to get Raw sparkling again in the meantime.
