The April 9 edition of WWE Raw successfully lived up to the past standards of the Raw after ‘Mania with a night filled with returns, debuts, and chaos.
Last night’s WWE Raw was a very good show from top to bottom with arguably the wildest crowd of the year on hand for a show that has already shaken up the red brand.
With the superstar shakeup taking place next week on Raw and SmackDown, the landscape of the WWE will continue to change as it already has after last night. With that being said, let’s take a look at five key takeaways from the April 9 edition of WWE Raw.
5. Matt Hardy And Bray Wyatt Together Is The Perfect Scenario For Both Superstars
It took a little while for the Woken Matt Hardy gimmick to get going on the main roster, but now that it has, the character has so much potential moving forward. Hardy won the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania 34 and has aligned himself with a former rival that has shaken up the gimmick.
Woken Matt defeated Bray Wyatt in The Ultimate Deletion a few weeks ago and Wyatt hadn’t been seen since. But at WrestleMania 34, Wyatt returned to help Hardy fend off Baron Corbin and Mojo Rawley to win the battle royal. And last night saw the two team up to battle Titus Worldwide in the newly-formed tag team title tournament.
The winner of Hardy and Wyatt vs. Titus Worldwide would go on to face The Revival next week and the woken warriors would make the most out of their opportunity and they got the win. If they go on to defeat The Revival next week, they will face The Bar at the Greatest Royal Rumble event for the vacant Raw Tag Team Championship after Braun Strowman and Nicholas vacated their championship last night.
But when thinking about the situation, having Woken Matt and Wyatt team up is perfect for both. Wyatt desperately needed a change to reinvigorate his character and Hardy needs more followers of his woken lifestyle. It will be very interesting to see how these two work together moving forward and it could result in some entertaining TV.
The Eater Of Worlds has finally become woken and his allegiance with Woken Matt has already given his character more intrigue than it had in months prior.
