3 exciting prospects following this week's RAW episode (17 December 2018)
The TLC PPV afforded a plethora of exciting moments. The RAW brand lost a General Manager, but gained a new Intercontinental Champion.
Whereas, Becky Lynch was defeated by Asuka, thus losing her SmackDown women's championship. Ultimately the end of 2018 has formed the basis for 2019.
This week's episode of RAW (December 17) introduced positivism for the future of WWE brands.
The entire McMahon family entered the ring and made exciting changes, and fans witnessed the removal of Baron Corbin as management.
Moreover, a multitude of vignettes aired for upcoming and returning wrestlers. There was a plethora of NXT talent including; EC3, Lacey Evans, Lars Sullivan, and Heavy Machinery.
The decisions made on Raw this week drastically altered WWE, and fans were ecstatic (watch the video below).
Moreover, the new direction has afforded much-needed entertainment value. The past few months have been lacklustre on both brands. So, how will the future play out? Lets explore some options.
#3 The Raw Women's division
At WWE Evolution, fans witnessed the first-ever all women's PPV. It set the stage for the future of women's wrestling in the professional wrestling industry.
However, fans have yet witnessed a main event women's WrestleMania match. Nevertheless, this prospect seems likely. Especially considering RAW & SmackDown, and how they utilise their women's divisions.
On December 17, Ronda Rousey issued an Open Challenge for the Raw women's championship.
However, this caused chaos on the women's roster. Therefore, Stephanie McMahon ordered a gauntlet match, with the winner facing Rousey (watch the video below). The winner was Natalya.
The prospect of women's wrestling is refreshing, and with changes on Raw recently, the future looks bright. Names like; Asuka, Ronda Rousey, Charlotte, and Becky Lynch will be the pinnacle of the division.
Therefore, what could we expect in the future? Who could dethrone Asuka and Rousey?
