11 Burning Questions For WWE Raw (April 11th)

7. Where Is The Authority?

Don’t get it wrong: This isn’t a complaint, nor is it a request to have Triple H and Stephanie McMahon back on our TV screens.

But after losing at WrestleMania, there was nary a peep from the Authority on Raw the next night. It’s entirely possible that they simply were licking their wounds and preparing for the next steps against new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns, but it also could be a sign that the heel duo is taking a backseat for a bit. Consider that a new #1 contender was named last week and there wasn’t a mention of Triple H’s automatic rematch.

Also, Shane McMahon ran Raw last week, which raises the question of whether the Authority will come back Monday to reclaim their flagship program. It’s hard to imagine that the Authority will roll over when it comes to the world title and control of Raw, but they have to first show up.
