WWE Raw Results: Analysing and grading each segment (January 9th)

WWE hinted at a potential Undertaker vs Strowman match with a backstage camera shot during The Deadman’s return

The Undertaker returns to Raw:

A wonderful return to Raw for the Phenom

Grade: 8.5/10

This was a great use of The Undertaker, who got straight to the point in this segment rather than wasting time like Mick Foley and Stephanie McMahon. The announcement that the Deadman will be in the Rumble match adds another potential winner to the mix, with the unpredictability of this year’s Rumble at an all-time high.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

The crowd was extremely hot for ‘Taker here, with a win for the Deadman in the Rumble match not unwelcome. Undertaker saying that he can be where he wants was a nice touch, as it cleared up why he was on Raw after appearing on SD Live a few weeks back.

However, one negative here was the brief showing of Strowman looking on backstage. An Undertaker/Strowman match is definitely not an exciting encounter at this point in the Deadman’s career. Hopefully, that was just a hint at a face-off in the Rumble bout rather than an actual one-on-one matchup.

Overall, a great use of the Deadman, who added more star power to the growing list of Superstars in the Royal Rumble match.
