Nice To Meet You And Welcome Back. Who Debuted And Returned On Monday Night Raw?

The most eventful show of the year. WrestleMania 35 was last night and it’s safe to say that a lot happened. There was a fair amount of stuff going on from the most title changes in WrestleMania history to a few surprise appearances to that whole historic main event thing. But then it was the Monday after WrestleMania and time for the biggest Monday Night Raw of the year. So what happened?

As usual, this year’s post-WrestleMania Monday Night Raw featured a variety of returns and debuts. This year’s show only included one NXT callup in Lars Sullivan, who was announced as debuting back in November but never actually appeared due to a severe anxiety attack. As for returns, the only name to come back was Sami Zayn, who has been out since June with double shoulder surgery.

Meet the new monster. Check out Lars Sullivan debuting:

And he’s not happy. Check out Zayn’s rant against the fans:

Opinion: I don’t know if they’re saving things for the Superstar Shakeup next week or something else, but this week wasn’t exactly inspiring for bringing in new talent. Then again, with so many names having been called up in recent months, you can only expect so many at this point. What we got was good, but a little underwhelming.

Which of these was better? Who do you want to see on tomorrow’s show? Let us know in the comments below.
