A Lot of Pressure on Tonight’s Monday Night Raw

As it was previously reported, Vince McMahon is making his return to WWE television again tonight. He’s set to make his return to the Roman Reigns feud as well. McMahon is a great placeholder in The Authority vs. Reigns feud for now until the time is right for Triple H to return for The Game vs. Reigns.

Unfortunately, Vince’s presence on the show is bringing a lot of pressure to tomorrow night’s show. Other than the usual, WWE is short-handed tomorrow night.

WWE is running a live event in Allentown, PA simultaneously while Monday Night Raw is live. Kane, Dolph Ziggler, Bray Wyatt, Erick Rowan, Luke Harper, Braun Strowman, Tyler Breeze, Tommy Dreamer, The Dudley Boyz, Paige and WWE Divas Champion Charlotte are all advertised for the event.

Since all those names are in Allentown, it’s highly unlikely any of those names will be able to make it to Monday Night Raw in Brooklyn. That’s going to leave Raw extremely short-stacked for talent desptie being the return evening of John Cena.

With the roster for Raw so light, it’s going to be tough to compete, especially when Raw is going against Monday Night Football in a game with playoff implications between the Bengals and the Broncos.

Tonight’s Raw is going to be interesting. WWE is going to need to start the build towards the “Royal Rumble” eventually, so we’ll see what happens tonight.
