5 things WWE subtly told us on RAW this week - Brock Lesnar's weakness exposed, Bad news for a former Universal Champion?
RAW or professional wrestling, in general, is not really layered communication by its very nature. WWE is a product that appeals to the masses, the common man and woman, so the communication is often straightforward and crystal clear.
That said, there were five things on RAW this week that may have flown under the radar that were expressed in a subtle manner. In this article, we shall mention all of them for your reading pleasure.
If you think there were other messages that we may not have picked up on, feel free to mention them in the comments section below.

Brock Lesnar is one of those characters that is seemingly bulletproof, and not even a block of granite, like Bobby Lashley, can take him down. Yes, both men have a background in MMA, but let's be honest, Lesnar has competed at a significantly higher level against the best fighters in the world.
So, how does the think-tank at WWE subtly give us the message that Bobby Lashley has an outside chance at their upcoming bout?

The subtle message expressed in this week's weigh-in was that Brock Lesnar is not taking the competition seriously at all. He kept making shows in the opening segment on RAW and came dressed in his complete garb. Yes, he was clad in even more clothes than he is known to wear usually.
If this is the weakness that Bobby Lashley can potentially exploit, then there is indeed an outside chance that we could have a brand new WWE Champion.
It will be a surprise if Bobby Lashley wins the title at the Royal Rumble, but stranger things have happened in the company we love so dearly.
