Raw brand booking


So after the PPV the two shows are separate and have different feels and vibes. 

Raw would feature Dean Ambrose defending the WWE title and Charlotte defending the Women’s Title.  It would also have New Day defending the Tag Titles as well as the US Title of Rusev. 

Rusev’s story would be a quick smash of Mojo Rawley after his defeat of Zack Ryder at Backlash.  Then he makes a challenge and say no one in the world can beat him because he is the strongest of all.  Out comes Caesaro.  This begins the feud with Caesaro winning at Summer Slam.  That man needs a title. 

Charlotte was in a beautiful feud with Sasha.  Keep it going.  Sasha’s Monday night win was nice, but they have a match at Summer Slam with Sasha going over.  Charlotte can blame Brooke and then go into a beat down of her after Summer Slam.  Sasha can take on someone like Eva Maria and win and Bailey starts getting built up.  Eventually Charlotte teams with Natalia to head back to the top.  That should get you to Survivor Series where Charlotte, Natalia, Eva Maria, and someone else (like Nia Jacks) can team up against Sasha, Bailey, and some others (maybe Becky Lynch and a returning Nikki Bella). 

New Day has overcome the Wyatts who are no longer together, so they keep their antics up.  You can have a friendly match with the Hype Bros if you want, but the Dudleys take issue with this power of positivity.  They put some people through a table.  I would also start to examine Bubba Ray as a singles wrestler.  Somewhere in this feud Bubba Ray beats Xavier Woods one on one and maybe Big E too.  Kofi can be Devon and the Summer Slam match should be a DQ to lead to a no-DQ match at the next PPV. 

Also related to this I am building up a tag team division so I need the Ascension to run through GoldenTruth.  These punk rock guys weird guys make a natural opponent for the Vaudevillians.  They start a feud that the Vaudevillians win.  They will be the next in line for a title shot, so I need to start building them up.  Large focus on their old timey approach.  I keep Envo and Cass strong as well by winning a feud with Big Show (who ends up on Raw) and whoever he picks as his partner.  Maybe a Big Show v Cass showdown someone in there too.  Then Enzo and Cass take out Shemus and Del Rio.  That one could actually become a feud.  Eventually a four way title match is on the card for Survivor Series (Vaudevillians, New Day, Enzo&Cass, and Dudleys).  New Day drop the belts there to Vaudevillians, who will drop the belt before the Rumble to Enzo&Cass who go into Wrestlemania the champs. 

Roman Reigns is the logical candidate to take on Ambrose.  I would have made Ambrose pin Rollins at Backlash and Reigns asking for a straight up match with Dean.  He can mention how he never got his one on one rematch.  They have their SummerSlam match where the crowd is going to be boing Reigns.  Ambrose wins. 

Then I would start a Bray Wyatt feud with Reigns in the good ole creepy Bray way.  Make Bray point out how much the crowd hates him.  During this Reigns probably beats Strowman, but Bray continually taunts Reigns.  Reigns gets a win, but so does Bray.  Bray is begging Reigns to give in.  And this would be how Reigns turned evil.  You look for a moment when the crowd is cheering Bray or chanting “one more time” for a Sister Abigail on Reigns and Bray leaves the ring so the chants can be heard.  This would make Reigns come back as a heel for a run around Royal Rumble time. 

Ambrose would go into a feud with AJ Styles after Summerslam.  Styles would win some #1 contender match at the Slam.  Styles would be Styles and have the crowd going.  Ambrose doesn’t think Styles can go all the way out there with the loose cannon.  Styles promises he can.  First match is a draw somehow, maybe even time limit or neither can keep going.  Then Styles wins the next one and becomes the WWE Champ.  I would keep the belt on Styles through Wrestlemania at least when he would have a rematch with John Cena.  Whether Styles is face or heel would depend on how the crowd reacts to him against Ambrose and right after.  They might cheer him and if they do, let Styles go face.  He can pull either one off.  That would obviously dictate where Styles goes between his win (probably at the Clash) and Wrestlemania.  If he is a heel, then you can go into Hell in a Cell against a hot returning Neville.  If he is a face, then you let Rusev come out and demand his shot after having the US Title for so long.  Either way, it could be entertaining. 

One more note of where I would be going.  After putting the US belt on Caesaro, I bring out Sami Zayn as his opponent.  Zayn has fallen short already of winning the IC title.  Now he goes for the US.  And he just can’t beat Caesaro.  Not at Hell in the Cell and not at Survivor Series.  Then Zayn has to go on a mission t to redeem himself.  He would get wins over people like a Neville, but also a feud with Bray Wyatt where he does not go to the dark side (a little Daniel Bryan replay).  Maybe Zayn takes a win over Reigns as Reigns is waffling with being heel in his feud with Wyatt.  Caesaro holds the US Title.  Eventually he takes down SHemus, Del Rio, Big Show, and Strowman proving he is the strongest of all.  Then at Wrestlemania Zayn gets his third and final shot at Caesaro and Zayn wins.  Big moment for him.  Caesaro would go into the main event scene after holding the title for over half a year. 

Obviously Wrestlmania is a Bailey wins title moment as well.  Just build to it.  Probably off of Charlotte again, maybe Natalia.
