25 ways WWE could make Raw better in 2018

#6 Reunite American Alpha

A team that should not have broken up in the first place.

No matter how much WWE try and make Jason Jordon and Chad Gable polar opposites, they are meant to be a successful tag team in the world of professional wrestling, as their story of how they came together is one that was perfected down in Full Sail Arena. Jordon was having hard luck with various partners before Gable came along and formed possibly the greatest tag team in NXT history, as their speed, strength, and wrestling prowess shone through every single match they had competed. Even though Jordon is currently on the shelf due to an injury, rumor has indicated he is already fully recovered.

Therefore, nothing is stopping WWE from reuniting these two young talented athletes, as it would allow for a soft reboot of their characters, as Gable is a jobber now and Jordon has the unfortunate fate of being pegged as Kurt Angle's 'son'. American Alpha is what the Raw tag team division is missing, as short team solutions such as the B Team are not groundbreaking, the Authors of Pain struggling for screen time and every other team in the division are jobbers by WWE's standards, Gable and Jordon can light up the tag team division and Raw at the same time.

#7 Develop Jinder Mahal into a solid mid-card heel

Mahal got the physic, the heat and cronies to be a solid heel.

Jinder Mahal is a true success story in the WWE gone wrong, "the modern-day Maharaja" went from 3MB jobber to WWE Champion then back to a jobber in a year. Mahal's rise and fall from grace is a simple story that has been seen over decades with many superstars in Vince McMahon's company, but with regards to Mahal WWE can still salvage something, and that is the heat the man generates as a heel. The WWE Universe hate Mahal for one simple reason his rise to success was only possible due to McMahon's preference to superstars with a jacked up physique.

And WWE has been using that heat in an inferior way has the most significant missed opportunity to cement Mahal as a true mid-card villain did not have him be the superstar to dethrone Seth Rollins of his IC Title, but better chances are awaiting Mahal in the future, and WWE needs to take advantage of that. As the Raw mid-card has no clean-cut heel or face, as the Universal Title's absence has pushed all main event talent down to the mid-card but when the main event scene is settled, Mahal needs to be the backbone heel of the division. Opposing up and coming babyfaces, ruining other wrestlers dreams and being the prime reason for an adverse crowd reaction, WWE could use Mahal's heat and unlikable persona to good effect.
