WWE Raw: Burning Questions to Address After September 28 Show

As Hell in a Cell approaches, the September 28 episode of Raw left fans with more questions than answers thanks to some truly uninspired booking from WWE Creative.

Kane and Seth Rollins dominated the middle portion of the episode, but Roman Reigns and Bray Wyatt stole the show, delivering a main event that ended with both men lying on their backs at ringside following a spear through the announce table.

The New Day continued to build momentum for itself, beating John Cena and The Dudley Boyz in a huge six-man tag team match. Meanwhile, Divas champion Charlotte found herself on the wrong end of a Rack Attack courtesy of former titleholder Nikki Bella.

The lack of progression notwithstanding, the show left fans with several burning questions ahead of both the October 25 pay-per-view extravaganza and the October 3 live broadcast from the world's most famous arena, Madison Square Garden.

These are just a few of them.

1. What Is the Endgame with the Divas Revolution?

When Stephanie McMahon introduced Sasha Banks, Charlotte and Becky Lynch to the WWE Universe and dubbed their debut the beginning of a "Divas revolution," fans had reason to be excited. The work of those three women had made NXT the hottest promotion in wrestling and a breeding ground for legitimate Match of the Year contenders involving the young female performers.

Since that night, the decision to create three trios has watered down the so-called "revolution."

Making matters worse is the indecision that exists when focusing on one of the stars to be the centerpiece of the division.

One minute, Nikki Bella looks like the competitor around whom the entire revolution will revolve, and the next it is Charlotte. A "Paige Bomb" promo on the September 21 episode of Raw, though, has made her the hottest and most interesting Diva.

Meanwhile, Banks has been shuffled into the background, a member of a Team B.A.D. faction consisting of little more than glorified jobbers.

So what is the endgame with the revolution?

One would have hoped it was to change the perception of women's wrestling on the main roster, but a lack of defined characters and intriguing stories has left the division right where it was six months ago—albeit with more in-ring time.

2. Why Can't WWE Book Big Show More Consistently?

WWE Creative has done a stronger job of booking Big Show like a credible threat to Brock Lesnar than it has with anyone else on the roster this year. In fact, when motivated to do something with the giant, it typically comes through, booking him as the dominant force of nature he should be.

That it gives him the opportunity to showcase his considerable and underrated mic skills only helps matters.

On Monday night, The World's Largest Athlete delivered a quality promo that both put over The Beast Incarnate while also touting himself as the man to slay him.

Add in Paul Heyman, who makes any and all of the segments he's involved in better by association, and you have a quality build to the main event of Saturday's WWE Network special presentation.

If WWE Creative could be more consistent when it comes to booking Big Show, watching him would be so much more tolerable than it has been over the last few months. Constant heel and babyface turns, as well as a lack of motivation, have not helped.

WWE should give him a reason to care about his craft, book him in a way that makes him a threat to every Superstar on the roster and, finally, not overexpose him.

At this point in his career, using him as the special attraction he should be, Creative will get more longevity out of the character while simultaneously cutting down on the "please retire" chants.

3. Is Kane vs. Seth Rollins the Worst Storyline Of the Year?

Yes, it is.

The fact that the angle began in April, with Rollins and Kane bickering like two eight-year-olds and putting The Authority's reign of terror in jeopardy, and continues today as some sort of Z-level horror flick ripoff involving return No. 234 of "The Demon Kane" not only suggests that it has lasted well past its sell-by date, but also that WWE Creative will never fully understand what makes an angle successful.

The writing staff was already in a hole by even pushing Kane again. The character has been so overexposed and irreparably damaged from years of stupidity and inconsistent storytelling that fans have had their fill.

That he is far beyond his prime years between the ropes does not help matters.

The absurdity of Monday's segments involving the Big Red Corporate Director of Hell—or something like that—only heightens the frustration fans will feel as the program continues.

Presenting Seth Rollins with the severed head of his statue? Demented, but OK. Taking a beating as Corporate Kane, only to re-emerge moments later as The Demon, shrugging off injury and sending Rollins scurrying as if no damage was done? Not so much.

As a main event program, it surges past the Dolph Ziggler-Rusev soap opera nonsense for worst storyline of the year, thanks both to its sheer length and the fact that Rollins is sure to come out of it the worse for wear.

That is inexcusable, considering how poorly he has been booked to this point.
