I hate to say it but I think we're in for an uneventful Raw. I also hate to mention that uneventful shows happen for a reason. What's needed is to continue to build in the direction each feud is heading for at Wrestlemania. Tonight needs to be one of those shows that heads in the direction for Wrestlemania.
The opening bout should be The Usos against the New Age Outlaws. I think its best to continue the injury angle. This could continue to get the NAO over as heels but keep The Usos in the ring. There are a variety of heel tag teams they could face like AxelBack or 3MB. The important thing is to use this match to build The Usos as strong champs and the NAO as heels.
Another direction that needs to be continued is with The Real Americans. I think the jealousy angle is going to eventually lead to a match between Cesaro and Jack Swagger. For some reason they seem to be sticking around Big E. Not too long ago Big E was friendly with Mark Henry. This would be the perfect team to bring back but Henry was wasted to put over Lesnar last week on Raw. That being said maybe the attention should focus on a different competitor(s). I see it as a waste to use Big E in that feud unless they plan on having a triple threat match for the Intercontinental Championship.
We're awaiting an announcement from Wrestlemania XXX host Hulk Hogan. And they will tell you that its going to be huge! It won't be. He'll book a match for Wrestlemania. Not sure which match but it will be a midcard type of match. I'm not going to attempt to guess it but it won't be adding Daniel Bryan to the main event. It may have something to do with John Cena vs Bray Wyatt at Wrestlemania. Or at least that's what I would book.
Speaking of John Cena. I heard a rumor he's going to be facing Luke Harper (maybe it was Rowan) tonight on Raw. I can't confirm anything because I haven't looked at WWE.com or anything. I think they need to continue this feud to lead to a Wrestlemania match (I wrote some specifics yesterday http://wwefantasybooker.blogspot.com/2014/03/john-cena-vs-bray-wyatt.html).
The Wrestlemania main event is still bothering the fan base. The WWE will continue to tease the idea that Daniel Bryan will be added to the main event so what better way to do that then have him in a match with Batista and Randy Orton. Of course this will be the typical pre-Wrestlemania tag team match that puts the Champion and challenger on the same team. I would book this pre-Wrestlemania staple tonight by having Batista and Randy Orton vs Daniel Bryan and Big Show. You can have some typical sloppy finish including Corporate Kane and Triple H attacking Daniel Bryan while Batista and Orton double team Big Show to get the victory.
Finally The Undertaker returns tonight! Obviously he will not be in a match. Most likely we won't even see Brock Lesnar in the building. But who we do need to see on screen with The Undertaker is Paul Heyman. All that needs to be booked is an appearance by those two and let them handle the rest. Close the show with The Undertaker getting the upper hand.
