<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>WWE Raw Takeaways</strong></h2>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>1. A True Fighting Champion</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/GlIn9Hh.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>WWE is often lambasted for being unable to book strong babyfaces, but with Drew McIntyre, they are ensuring they right all the wrongs. McIntyre competed in a main-event once again, and after taking down Big Show and Andrade in the previous weeks, annihilated Angel Garza on the latest broadcast of RAW.</p>



<p>McIntyre&#8217;s killer persona is quite fascinating to watch, as he is never presented as the underdog, and is always the dominant force of nature. This wasn&#8217;t the case with guys like John Cena and Roman Reigns, who were always seen overcoming the odds to survive.</p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Where is the #1 Babyface?</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/CYxOTxc.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>Becky Lynch is often labeled as the biggest face on the RAW roster, even ahead of several male superstars. However, she has been missing in action and is still without a proper feud heading into MITB. WWE found a way to accommodate a matchup for the NXT Women&#8217;s Champion, but RAW&#8217;s own star couldn&#8217;t find a single segment.</p>



<p>Shayna Baszler looks the most probable opponent for Lynch currently, or they could try and rewind the clock and go back to Jax vs Lynch. Jax broke Lynch&#8217;s nose in the leadup to Survivor Series 2018, which cost her a match against Ronda Rousey.</p>
