10 Things WWE Raw Can Learn From No Mercy 2016
6. Experience Boosts Youth
SmackDown is doing a fantastic job in getting their new talent over. Whether it’s AJ Styles pinning John Cena or Carmella going the distance with Nikki Bella, they are making the wrestlers who haven’t been around forever, feel like stars.
Which is wrestling 101. The older generation has to pass on the torch or the product stagnates. And yet for so long Raw wasn’t doing that. Super Cena was a thing for a reason.
Now, however, Raw has a different problem. They have a host of brilliant wrestlers who for various reasons aren’t quite connecting with the fans. Take Seth Rollins whose recent face turn is yet to find its groove. Now, imagine he hadn’t been injured and had come into this face run off the back of pinning a heel Triple H at WrestleMania?
Chris Jericho aside Raw is missing those faces that WWE fans have been watching for years. The ones they respect. Without them, it becomes hard for the newer guys to truly get over and they instead end up trading wins with each other and never getting anywhere.
