It’s that time of the week again. Last night’s episode of “Monday Night Raw” saw a series of returns, debuts and surprises, as is almost always the case on the show after “Wrestlemania XXXIV”.
That’s the case almost every single year and it’s often one of the most entertaining shows of the year. It’s so much fun that we get to do it again the next night as there is going to be another version of nearly the exact same thing tonight, just with a blue tint instead of a red one. So what might we be expecting?
Here are some results from last night’s show if you need an idea of what to expect.
WWE.com has released its official preview for this week’s episode of “Smackdown Live”. This show will deal with a combination of fallout from this week’s “Wrestlemania XXXIV” and the possibility of new names being added to the “Smackdown Live” roster. There is also the possibility of a new authority figure on the show as Commissioner Shane McMahon has taken a leave of absence while Daniel Bryan has returned to in-ring competition. Here are the featured stories in the preview:

Opinion: This could be a lot of fun but at the same time it might feel like nothing special. There’s no way of guessing what you might get this coming into one of these post Wrestlemania shows and there’s a good chance that it might underwhelm. Odds are we’re going to be getting some big debuts and angle advancements, but at the same time there’s a good chance that none of this is going to matter when you consider the Superstar Shakeup is coming next week. Hopefully it can be fun though, and odds are it’s going to be.
