WWE Raw: 5 biggest things noted on the episode after WrestleMania 35
Just under 24 hours since WWE presented one of the most noteworthy WrestleManias in the event's history, the company looked to keep the hype rolling on what's traditionally the most ‘rowdy' RAW of the year.
WWE actually gave us a good show on April 8, with some surprise appearances and some goodbyes. However, it was still not as explosive as some of the WrestleMania fall-out episodes of RAW in recent years.
Still, there were some really clear takeaways from the RAW after 'Mania. Here, we present 5 of them.
#1 The Undertaker wasn't needed at WrestleMania 35
The Undertaker missed a WrestleMania after almost 2 decades of being a top attraction on the show. From the start of the year, rumors had confirmed for us that Undertaker won't be wrestling on the Showcase of Immortals this year, yet all of us expected him to make an appearance. Alas! It all led to disappointment, as 'Mania's 35th edition entered the history books without the Deadman's name on any page.
But on the RAW after 'Mania, The Undertaker made a surprise appearance to interrupt Elias. And as great as it felt, we have to wonder why it couldn't have been the case one night ago. This could have been much more special with a completely different gimmick.
The only thing we can make out is that The Undertaker couldn't find a spot in the show that went for over 8 hours. It's sad since we had been dreaming of a Sting and Undertaker face off. WWE clearly didn't feel it.
The Undertaker's relationship with Vince McMahon has been a bit strained recently, with the Deadman making outside appearances. We wonder if it had something to do with his non-appearance at WrestleMania 35.
