Last night’s WWE Monday Night RAW was a strange Backlash fallout show because it had all the pieces to feel important, but for most of the night, it felt like the company was stretching one major story over three hours instead of letting the entire roster breathe. WWE is less than three weeks away from … Read more
WWE Monday Night RAW rolls into Omaha, Nebraska tonight with the final red brand stop before Backlash, and for once, the show does not need to manufacture urgency. The urgency is already there.

Last night’s WWE Monday Night RAW felt like a show trying to do two things at once: push WWE Backlash into focus and clean up the creative mess left behind after WrestleMania. Some of it worked.

WWE Monday Night RAW tonight has the responsibility of doing what last week’s RAW After Mania only partially accomplished: turning the post-WrestleMania reset into a real road to Backlash.

Last night’s WWE Monday Night RAW was the red brand’s go-home show for WrestleMania 42, and it felt like WWE trying to sell this weekend on tension, talking points, and final angles more than pure wrestling.
