9 Ways WWE Raw Setup Tonight's Draft
8. Mick Foley As Raw GM
Just moments after dropping her Cruiserweight bombshell, Steph went one better and trumped herself with the reveal of her Raw General Manager; WWE Hall of Famer, and all-round pro wrestling legend, Mick Foley.
From a storyline perspective, Foley has plenty of managerial experience from his role as the commissioner of the WWE back in the early 2000s. And he’s also been GM on a few further occasions, including some one-night-only deals and a previous stint as co-GM of Raw, alongside Stone Cold Steve Austin.
But remaining in kayfabe, it seems a little odd for Steph to select such a fan favourite for the role. Triple H would have been the more obvious option, or even the return of someone like Eric Bischoff—despite their storied history.
Nonetheless, it provides us with an interesting dynamic as Foley and Steph look to co-exist in charge of Raw together. It’s unlikely to affect the actual Draft itself too much, but will certainly have ramifications further down the line.
