5 Major developments from Monday Night RAW
WWE pulled out all the stops on this week's edition of Monday Night RAW and every single moment of the show felt meaningful. Perhaps that had something to do with the subtle heel turn by Seth Rollins at the beginning of the broadcast, or the way AJ Styles lost the United States Championship to Rey Mysterio, but WWE really brought it this time.
Keep in mind that the company accomplished all of this after three straight days of programming, which should show the WWE Universe how invested the company is right now. It should also show that they aren't going to pull any punches heading into the final months of the year and fans should be excited about that.
With that stated and another edition of Monday Night RAW in the books, here are five major developments from this week's Red Brand episode. As always, make sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments below and be sure to tell us what you think will unfold over the next couple of weeks.
#5 Buddy Murphy gets a key win
Buddy Murphy has already picked up quite a few key wins during his run on the main roster and while nothing will top his victory over Daniel Bryan, him knocking out the returning Matt Hardy was interesting. It is also what could help propel him to RAW's main event card, which is where he deserves to be.
Whether that ultimately pans out or not remains to be seen and will depend on where the company wants to go with this, but a win over a veteran like Matt Hardy is a very promising start. Beyond that, it was an uptick in Murphy's brutality that will serve him well when he takes on Aleister Black next. The two came to blows last night on RAW in what appears to be a promising feud heading forward.
