Isenberg Reacts: WWE Raw “Resetting The Roster and Storylines”

By Josh Isenberg

The Debuts

Baron Corbin Debuts on Raw and fights to a no contest over Dolph Ziggler. I get how WWE wants to book him, giving him one of the most over guys (consistently) in WWE. If the crowd sees a guy take out Ziggler, it gives him immediate heel heat. I would have said that you need Corbin to roll through some lower card guys first, but that was until the next debut happened.

Apollo Crews was another guy who got the call to the main roster. The man is a freak of nature, a pure athlete and one of the most athletic guys I have ever seen. He is stronger and more marketable than Shelton Benjamin and has more charisma and potential than Neville. If you let him cruise through some lower card guys, I can easily see him in a feud with Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio or Rusev in the summer months.

Enzo and Big Cass may be the most entertaining tag team in WWE and NXT. Aside from The New Day, these guys hold the crowd in the palm of their hand from the get-go. The gimmick is fresh, still, and people love to see talented guys on the mic carry it into the ring. They are likable guys who provide a specific set of talent. The Dudley Boyz are a great pick for them to work with. They have the legacy, the strong in-ring work and Bubba Ray has great heel ability. Just look at what he did by himself in TNA. Utilize that “New York Thug” gimmick.
