6. New Alliances Formed?

If we’re to believe and accept that Raw was a reset of sorts, then the opening match provided a nice realignment of wrestlers.

After a six-man tag match between Revival & Robert Roode and Ricochet & Usos ended, AJ Styles and The Club walked out, leading to an all-out brawl that ended with The Club standing tall over a fallen Ricochet.

But the interesting thing here was the teaming up of Revival & Roode, who worked together during the brawl, and the Usos providing backup to Ricochet, who has been fighting all three members of The Club alone – which cost him his United States Championship Sunday night.

If this holds, you just created two new three-man alliances, which can go a long way toward giving more wrestlers a role to play on Raw. And that’s a really nice way to get things going here.
