2. RAW needs to strengthen the top of the men’s card.

The RAW brand has gravitated towards the WWE women’s division and rightfully so.

Becky Lynch has become the hottest act in the company, Ronda Rousey is arguably the most recognized superstar in the WWE, and Charlotte Flair is well on her way to becoming one of the greatest women’s wrestlers of all time. They are looking to become the 1st women to headline WrestleMania in the history of the company’s largest show. They have earned that right and I only hope their match closes the night out in style.

Which is why the men’s side of RAW should have fire lit under their behinds going forward.

Seth Rollins can be a flag bearer. He’s held the WWE championship before and put on a great string of performances night after night. While he does have some challengers as I mentioned in the previous slide, the RAW brand would now be given an opportunity to create new stars and opponents for Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins going forward.

There is likely to be an impending brand shakeup immediately after WrestleMania. Can you imagine A.J. Styles being brought over to Monday nights? You already have Finn Balor, Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre and Braun Strowman as worthy competitiors to carry RAW’s top prize.

The night after WrestleMania would also be an opportune time to elevate guys such as returning men Bray Wyatt and Sami Zayn. Use that first Monday night after Lesnar’s impending departure to elevate underutilized talents such as EC3. Or have wrestlers such as Andrade, Mustafa Ali and Buddy Murphy crossover from Smackdown Live and 205 Live respectively to become viable threats to dethrone Rollins.

You could also strike on a golden opportunity to have ‘The Undisputed Era’ debut the night after RAW and attack Seth Rollins after his 1st title defense to end the show. Have Adam Cole looking like a viable threat in an instant. It would really make a mark on the RAW brand. The WWE Universe isn’t too familiar with Adam Cole and what better way to create another superstar then have him attack the champion in his RAW debut?
