3 interesting observations from this week's RAW (February 4, 2019)

This week's edition of WWE Monday Night RAW (4th February 2019) saw a lot of contrasting moments. Right from Jeff Jarrett's in-ring return to Becky Lynch's hatred for authority, last night's episode had it all.

In its entirety, the episode comprised of several eye-catching moments, even if some of them were questionable indeed. Regardless of what you thought about the show, it was apparent that WWE did their best to keep the show lively from start-to-finish.

Now that we are officially on the Road To WrestleMania 35, let us take a look at some interesting observations from last night's episode of Monday Night RAW...

#3 A Series of Questionable Events...

This segment introduced several plot lines in rapid fashion, leaving the fans confused

With Dean Ambrose appearing in headlines when it comes to his status within the company itself, last night's "A Moment Of Bliss" segment was questionable, to say the least.

For starters, EC3 wasn't allowed to talk even though we are fully aware of the fact that he can be quite charismatic on the mic. On top of that, there seems to be unexplained tension between Nia Jax & Dean Ambrose, with the latter dropping some hard 'facts' in rapid succession.

EC3 and Alexa Bliss had their own flirtatious moments right from the start. Let us also not forget that Renee Young (Ambrose's spouse) was on commentary right behind Dean Ambrose when he decided to call out Nia Jax for having a crush on him.

But really, the very fact that EC3 defeated Ambrose in such a short amount of time has been subjected to a lot of criticism after the show ended.

When you look at it, all of the aforementioned moments could have succeeded in an alternate scenario where the audience actually knew what drove all of these characters to act in the way they did last night.

#2 Elias as Heel: Best For Business, or a misstep?

What did you think about Elias vs Jeff Jarrett on last night's RAW?

People love Elias. They love him regardless of whether he acts as a heel or babyface. But after turning Elias babyface when it became apparent that the fans could not get enough of him, did WWE make a mistake by turning him heel once again?

Personally, I am split on this matter. On one hand, it makes sense to push him as a babyface after his fan base just kept growing week after week. On the other hand, heel Elias is what people fell in love with in the first place. The way he insulted each and every town on Monday Night RAW every week felt more like a compliment really. In simpler words, people jeering Elias as a heel is equivalent to fans chanting "You Suck" during Kurt Angle's entrance.

In this bizarre world of Professional Wrestling, booing a wrestler can also be perceived as a sign of respect, and while I can't say much for Elias vs. Jeff Jarrett on last night's RAW, one thing that will always remain the same is the WWE Universe's undying love for Elias, and whether they choose to project that love as cheers or jeers all depends upon his act each week.

#1 Becky Lynch vs. The Authority has just begun, and its here to stay for a while

Becky's angle with Stephanie McMahon won't dissolve immediately

Just like Stone Cold Steve Austin, a huge part in Becky Lynch's career in becoming the anti-hero is by establishing chaos against authority, for good reasons, of course.

Stephanie McMahon's insistence on getting Becky in the doctor's office for a 'medical clearance' most probably hints towards Stephanie trying to derail Lynch's opportunity at WrestleMania 35. Stephanie McMahon's past history makes this seem pretty obvious.

Becky Lynch is a character that grew out of her mould. She gained traction and momentum by adopting an approach that doesn't fit within the 'system', and we all know that The Authority is all about having a face of the company that gains success by following this 'system'.

Because of differing ideologies, this hints towards a scenario where The Authority and Becky Lynch have to clash at some point or the other, and if this week was any indication, then it seems as if Becky Lynch vs. The Authority might be a major conflict on the Road To WrestleMania 35.
