<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 Convincing Messiah </strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/dHPm7YK.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>A good villain is always the one who makes you feel sympathetic for him, to understand his actions and leads the audience into believing that he is actually the good guy. Rollins has been doing this for weeks now, and he continued the streak of great promos this week.</p>



<p>Rollins brought up his experience of being the top guy, and how he suffered a lot during that time. He said that McIntyre is an exceptional talent, but Rollins is the leader the locker-room needs. A delusional but yet slightly believable Rollins is making for great television, and his character work is top-notch.</p>



<h3 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Cruise Control</strong></h3>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignright size-large"><img decoding="async" src="https://i.imgur.com/jl34Wh6.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p>Apollo Crews has been on the main roster for over four years now and has nothing significant to show on his resume. He debuted as the next-big-thing on the roster but never managed to get anything substantial out of his run.</p>



<p>Crews is finally being given some proper character, and he is evolving from being the ever-smiling good-guy. Crews will be a great hand in the mid-card, and could even be a future main-eventer, considering he is merely 32.</p>
