25 ways WWE could make Raw better in 2018

#10 Book Seth Rollins as the number one babyface

Monday Night Rollins baby!

When Micheal Cole kept on saying each week on commentary that Seth Rollins is red hot, it sounded more like WWE trying to alter fans perception that he was, as Rollins as always thrived as the heel. But after witnessing classic match after classic match, intriguing character work and his popularity rise, it feels as if Rollins is genuinely the hottest main roster babyface in WWE.

While most would vouch for AJ Styles or Daniel Brayan, Rollins is currently in a league of his own, a league WWE wishes someone like Roman Reigns was in, and "the architect" can truly become the number one babyface on Monday Night Raw.

And that is what Raw lacks at the moment, a number one, clear-cut and defined face lead. As Reigns is booked in that spot but isn't making it count at the moment, Bobby Lashley for all his gifts isn't being given proper booking to fit in that role, Braun Strowman is more of an anti-hero than anything and Finn Balor's credibility has been diminished so much its unlikely WWE would book him to rise to that role.

Which leaves Rollins alone at the top of Raw as the number one guy and WWE should start pushing him in that position as his work rate, potential character development, and ability to make any title look credible signals him as Raw's number one guy.

#11 Let Dean Ambrose embrace his heel side

Ambrose could steal the show on any night, and Monday nights is the night he needs to do so.

They say to make a hero compelling you need to have an incredibly compelling villain to challenge that hero, and that is precisely what Dean Ambrose is to Seth Rollins. Ever since The Shield had initially split up, WWE expected Reigns to be the breakout star of that angle, but Ambrose and Rollins's rivalry completely blew everyone's minds as the raw emotion, intense promos and brutal violence these men showed endeared them to the WWE Universe. And now WWE has the chance to do that once again, but with "the lunatic fringe" and "the architect" on opposite sides of the personality cion.

And the fact of the matter is that there no better booking option for a returning Dean Ambrose, than to return as a jacked up heel, as Raw needs a villain that has a reason for being vicious, their personality to feel genuinely insane and the unpredictability to make each of his actions engaging.

WWE does not need to make Dean Ambrose a typical heel that cheats to win, cuts stereotypical promos and runs away from competition but a man that has frustration building inside of him of being shelved from the in-ring action while his Shield brothers supposedly forgot about him and continued to rise the ranks of WWE. A villain with depth, emotion, and motivation the audience can understand is the type of heel WWE needs right now to run Raw's main event scene, and Ambrose is the perfect man for the job.
