What you would do to RAW thread.

[Drifter]

This is to see what you guys would do, WITHOUT changing up the roster.


First off, Cena's out of action. So now's the time to start building on CM Punk more.

I miss stables, and wrestling needs them. Instead of having Orton talk crap about team Priceless, I'd have him come out with them. They could perform attacks on CM Punk leading to the Punk/Orton match when Orton is completely healed (if that's true). This would help CM Punk out alot more than just throwing him in against JBL.

Shawn Micheals will be out after, what I hope, is the end of him and Jericho's feud. Another hole in the main eventer's spot. Jericho then could move on to feuds with others such as Batista, Rey Mysterio.

I like Santino as a heel. But I would make him shave the unibrow. Kofi Kingston is great....But other than those two the midcard is kinda lacking. Now would be a great time to let someone step up slowly. Lance Cade, Charlie Haas, and the repackaged Deuce would fit great in this area. Along with newcomer Primo Colon. I think both Lance Cade and Charlie Haas could both end up making main event heels in the long run.

The women's division isn't lacking much. They have no way of catching up with TNA's Knockouts, so I wouldn't bother trying. Have the champ fight once in awhile to keep a feud going. Couple of contendership matches.

RAW is the opposite of Smackdown at the moment. They have too many main eventers and not enough mid carders. The problem is that alot of their main eventers have been wrestling awhile and are more prone to injuries. The time to build up guys is now, just in case.

If Punk is to lose the title this Sunday, then I'd start off the obvious feud that should be coming against Orton. That little nod Orton gave to Priceless after they got those belts back was a wink to the fans that these guys will be together soon enough. So, while Orton's recovering for either Cyber Sunday or Survivor Series, Punk can feud with Priceless. Maybe have some six man tag matches with Punk/Cryme Tyme vs. Priceless/JBL.

They also want to re-establish Mysterio as a serious threat and having him feud with Kane is an interesting choice at doing that. They could add in Batista to this feud as he feels responsible for Mysterio being out of action due to Kane. He could offer to take care of Kane for Mysterio and Mysterio could say something like "thanks but I need to stand on my own." Win or lose, Mysterio will have his pride intact.

Batista vs. Jericho would be another good feud. I know they tossed it around earlier this year after Mania but there wasn't a real resolution for me. They already have a backstory and should continue their feud.

Jamie Noble trying to get the attention of Layla is a great storyline and should continue on. Noble was an awesome talent in ROH in 2005 and would be a great mid-card star on Raw. They could continue this by having Noble continue to get unbelievable wins over other guys and have Layla develop real feelings for him. Eventually, one of the heels (maybe Lance Cade) would then feud with Noble over Layla and she'd have to make a choice.

This IC Title storyline with Santino has legs, imo. This would give him a built-in storyline for the next year as he tries to break Honky Tonk Man's record. This can either make him a comical face again or continue as the comical heel that he's been. He could become further established as a star by facing off against wrestler after wrestler, week after week.

Then you have Primo (aka Eddy) Colon, Charlie Haas, D-Lo Brown and hopefully Deuce Shade in the mid-card. Hopefully they can find stuff for these guys to do and not just serve as fodder for the other guys.

Charlie Hass needs a better gimmick, I dont like the whole mocking thing, it's funny but Haas has loads of potential, I really like Santino, I think he will be an excellent mid carder.
