WWE RAW, 4th November - Five Talking Points of the Show

The Big Show

WWE began on its road to Survivor Series in great fashion with a solid RAW last Monday night. It announced the first match of the card which was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise to many. None would have expected a main event involving Big Show facing Randy Orton for WWE Title after what transpired in Hell in a Cell.

In the talking points this week, we will look at how Kane gave us a very unpleasant and rude surprise after he made his entry as a part of the authority, CM Punk‘s partner to help fight the Wyatt Family, Damien Sandow’s presence gaining a bit more relevance and lot more.

1. Corporate Kane – A much needed makeover?

Before we get to Kane and his surprising move to don a suit and tie, let us get through the events that led to this. Kane returned and pledged allegiance to Stephanie McMahon last week on RAW. Big Show blackmailed the authority with his lawsuit to get his job back and get a WWE title shot at Survivor Series. Big Show then fought a 4 on 1 handicap match which he to an extent dominated and out came the Corporate Kane to distract Show.

Now the question needed to be asked is whether this huge makeover is a good one for Kane a.ka. Glenn Jacobs? We all have known Kane as the Big Red Monster and he has been so ever since. Yes, we have had the aggressive, unspoken, comical and friendly version of Kane but throughout all that the basic character of Kane remained same. But now we have seen a complete makeover with a suit and tie bringing up the argument of whether or not this decision is good for the future of the Big Red Monster. Irrespective of what the answer is one thing is pretty sure, WWE has stirred up things pretty well with this particular change.
