WWE RAW before Elimination Chamber - Best and worst - Stone Cold's in-ring return potentially set, Poor introduction for NXT star

#1 Best: Alpha Academy are the MVPs of WWE RAW

It has been great to see the amount of trust Vince McMahon has in Chad Gable. He had another stellar night on WWE RAW, with Otis supporting him well. Alpha Academy ruined Riddle's Bro-ga Party and attacked him before facing off against The Mysterios.

Gable got to cut an extended promo that brought him and Otis some severe heat before they defeated the father-son duo. The WWE RAW Tag Team Champions also made their presence felt at the end of the show, coming out to distract Randy Orton during his match with Seth Rollins.

The two of them brawled with RK-Bro as well, building their Tag Team Title rematch pretty nicely. This feud has quietly been one of the best things in WWE, and hopefully, once it is over, the spotlight continues to shine on Chad Gable.

#1 Worst: Kevin Owens plants the seeds for Steve Austin's return to the ring

Last week, Kevin Owens was denied entry in the Men's Elimination Chamber match on WWE RAW. This week, he had some harsh words for the state of Texas, the home of WrestleMania 38. This may seem like a standard heel promo, but there is more to it.

Recently, Sean Ross Sapp reported on Fightful Select that WWE is trying hard to get Stone Cold Steve Austin to return for a match at WrestleMania 38. If we put two and two together, we may be seeing KO take on The Texas Rattlesnake at The Show of Shows.

While the concept of a Stunner vs. Stunner match between the two is fantastic, let us remember that this would be 19 years after Austin retired from the ring. This potential feud doesn't seem like anything more than a desperate attempt to sell tickets.
