5 ways for the WWE to improve Monday Night Raw

#1 NXT call ups

Could Aleister Black help save Raw?

If you asked any wrestling fan to describe the current Raw product, you’d likely get responses such as bland, boring, dull, stagnant, repetitive, uninspired, and channel-changing. Right now, the WWE’s red brand feels far too easy to leave out of your weekly viewing habits.

One way to bring viewers back onside and to make this a far more entertaining watch – bar reducing the show’s run-time to 2 hours – is to inject some freshness into the Raw roster. And how better to do that than by calling up some names from NXT.

Just who from NXT is primed and ready for a spot on Raw is certainly an interesting topic of debate, and then there are the worries of just how badly the main roster may use such NXT talent (see: Bobby Roode), but the supposed developmental arm of WWE is the most logical place to turn to in an effort to turn around Raw’s fortunes.

The one obvious name who jumps out as being ready for a move to Raw or SmackDown is Aleister Black. While he’s still got a few loose ends with Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, the former NXT Champion is as ready as he’ll ever be to make the step up to the main roster.

If presented so from the off, Black could instantly be seen as a legitimate main event talent – that’s how good he is!

And while we’re tossing ideas around, how about Undisputed Era turning up on Raw and running roughshod? That would certainly, err, shock the system…
