After advertising that things would be shaken up, Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Triple H, and Shane McMahon appeared on Raw last night and promised that change is coming.
Stephanie admitted that they haven’t done a very good job for the fans lately. With Baron Corbin no longer general manager of Raw, the McMahons are “taking back” the show in storyline and will be in charge of SmackDown as well. They hyped that there would be new wrestlers and matchups in the coming weeks and months.
Significant changes weren’t apparent on last night’s episode. It was announced that — along with Lars Sullivan — EC3, Lacey Evans, Heavy Machinery (Tucker Knight & Otis Dozovic), and Nikki Cross will be coming up from NXT, and Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn will be returning soon.
To close the episode, an eight-woman gauntlet match set up a Raw Women’s Championship match for next week.
