25 ways WWE could make Raw better in 2018

#8 Let the Cruiserweights slowly make their way back onto Raw again

These stars can excel on a thin Raw mid-card

Ever since the stars of 205 Live had left Raw a few months ago and set out to become their own entity on Tuesday nights, the cruiserweight product has drastically improved, as it is now centred around more about competing for the Cruiserweight Title than silly narratives that included Brain Kendrick stealing Akira Tozawa's passport and Alica Fox's ridiculous love angle with Noam Dar. However, even though 205 Live is thriving better on its own, many predict that the brand won't last as long as Raw or Smackdown Live, thus, WWE can slowly but surely start taking 205 Live's best talent and place them on Raw

As it is Raw's mid-card division is lacking real megastars because wrestlers such as The Miz, Jeff Hardy, and Samoa Joe are all on Smackdown Live. Therefore, Raw should strive to bring young talent into the picture, as introducing at least one star such as Mustafa Ali into the Raw mid-card would set the division on fire. Ali is one of those few stars that have managed to grow on the mic and produce a countless number of match of the year classics in the ring, and giving him a platform to display his skills is smart booking. Also, WWE fans get tired witnessing the same match every single week, as instead of Seth Rollins vs Dolph Ziggler for the umpteenth time, WWE could book Ali against any one of those men and let them tear the house down.

#9 Dolph and Drew: The Conquerers

They said they would run Raw, well, there is no reason why they should not.

Whoever came up with the idea of pairing Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre deserves a round of applause, as these two former underrated stars have completely transformed their careers in two different ways. Ziggler has found a way to climb the WWE ladder once again, and McIntyre has found a way to feel like a mysterious badass while Ziggler stands as the mouthpiece of this team. Furthermore, what makes this team so impressive is that the motivation they stand by seems realistic and attainable, they want to run through every single wrestler on the roster and take their titles.

Moreover, that is exactly what WWE needs to book them to do, take almost every title on Raw. Now theoretically speaking that sounds like a great idea of having these men conquer each division to assert dominance but realistically speaking it sounds unlikely as WWE would never do something so out of the box.

However, this year the creative team have shown themselves to have a wildcard booking mentality as unexpected things keep happening, and Ziggler and Drew holding the IC Title, Tag Team Titles and even possibly the Wolrd Championship would be the narrative of the year if done right.

As the chase to attain those titles, superstars challenging them for it, the creative ways they can retain and so much more new exciting possibilities could be viable if WWE takes a chance and execute the motivation they attached to Ziggler and McIntyre's promos each week, to dominate Raw.
