5 things WWE hinted at this week on Monday Night Raw
Eventful!
That is by far the only way to describe Monday Night Raw this week from Philadelphia and the evening was definitely a sight to behold. Of course, that wasn't always a good thing, especially with some of the comic relief segments WWE had throughout the night, but there were other moments that stood out as some of the best.
Again, it wasn't the greatest Monday Night Raw that has ever been put on the air, but it built things up in a meaningful way for Fastlane and did a few other spectacular things along the way. If nothing else, WWE featured a lot of reality versus fiction storytelling and that's only going to make things much more interesting to watch as the weeks unfold.
With that in mind and another Monday Night Raw behind us, here are five things the company hinted at during this week's edition of The Red brand. As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments below and also tell us what you think the company is hinting at doing in the coming weeks .
#5 Focusing on respect for the business
Respect for the wrestling business has always been a big thing, but it's not always spoken or thought of when it comes to storylines. Sure, there are occasions where WWE uses respect for the business in a storyline or even as a way to move a story forward, but never at the level that fans witnessed Monday Night On Raw
Strangely enough, it all started when SNL weekend update hosts Michael Che and Colin Jost were announced as the special guest panellists for WrestleMania 35. Things only got more bizarre from there as Colin Jost got confronted by Bruan Strowman, and even asked if this was all real or not.
Strowman responded by grabbing Jost by his shirt and lifting him up in the air, which really had the weekend co-host scared heading into the commercial break. Fortunately for the WWE Universe, that wasn't the only bit of reality that happened on Raw, as Ronda Rousey went full-on heel mode and announced that she had no respect for the company.
If nothing else, this was all freaking brilliant and really allowed the company to get the most out of these storylines. It also pretty much makes Fastlane and the upcoming episode of Monday Night must-watch television, which is great for a company that has been struggling to boost ratings lately.
