WWE Raw: 3 Questions from the January 16 Show

What were the biggest questions Raw left behind after the January 16 edition?

The January 16 edition of Raw entertained us with a good opening segment and an even better ending. The show often tapped into the energy of the Royal Rumble. However, that would be far from saying the show was a hit. There were moments that drained the viewer off energy. There would continue to be throw-away segments as long as Raw is 3 hours long.

Sami Zayn benefited from this week’s Raw. The underdog from the underground would enjoy much more time under the spotlight. He would make an appearance during the opening, in a backstage segment alongside Reigns and Rollins and finally would get a fair share of ring time in the main event. However, the way things ended for him might raise questions. The arena exploded with “This is awesome” chants as Zayn lined up Strowman for the Helluva kick. Of course, this came after Reigns and Rollins hit a superman punch and a flying knee on the monster. However, the crowd would chant their heart out for Zayn to go over cleanly once. Despite that, he would end up getting pinned.

The brawl between Neville and Swann with Tony Nese trying to pick up the remains was great. However, the same Raw produced moments like a throwaway bout where Enzo and Cass faced Rusev and Jinder Mahal. The same could be said about the match between O’Neil and Big E. What were the biggest questions the fans would have had after the latest edition of the flagship show?
