WWE Couldn’t Make Up Their Mind About This Week’s Monday Night Raw

You could go one way or the other. This week’s edition of Monday Night Raw was bookended by a pair of huge matches. The show opened with a steel cage match between WWE Champion Big E. and Kevin Owens, while the main event featured Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch defending her title against Liv Morgan. That is quite the lineup, but it almost went a bit differently.

According to PWInsider.com, WWE originally planned for the cage match to main event this week’s Monday Night Raw. The change was made due in part to the show taking place on the anniversary of the first women’s main event between Lita and Trish Stratus on December 6, 2004. Originally, the cage match was to have been a segment between Owens and Big E. talking about their upcoming match.

It was a busy night. Check out the two matches, plus the main event’s inspiration:

Opinion: That’s not exactly surprising from WWE, as they have a bad tendency to not have much of an idea of what they’re doing more often than not. I’m almost scared to know how long they had before the show to finalize the card, as it should have been a good bit before the day of the show. You could have gone well either way, butin modern WWE it takes that long to figure it out.
