<p><strong>Becky Lynch defeated Charlotte Flair:</strong> Raw Women&#8217;s Champion, Becky Lynch faced Charlotte Flair to decided which brand gets the first pick on the second day of WWE Draft. The match which was earlier scheduled to be between Lynch and <strong>Sasha Banks</strong> was changed due to an injury suffered by Banks last week in the ring. Both women produced another great match and Lynch rolled up Flair for the win.</p>

Viking Raiders eventually delivered The Viking Experience to become the new champions.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Takeaways from Monday Night Raw</strong></h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1. WWE Remembers It Has Proper Wrestlers</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2019/10/163_RAW_10142019rf_2449--0dbc2970c7874e14e0d6de21dee673c2.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via WWE</figcaption></figure>



<p>The amount of wrestling in this week&#8217;s RAW was commendable as several superstars received spotlight. Superstars like Ali, Cedric Alexander, Ricochet, and Alister Black, all were in action tonight, which is a change from the usual WWE routine. WWE often limits itself to short matches or squashes on weekly shows, which makes this a good change from the normal scheme of things.</p>



<p>Hopefully, with the draft coming in place once again and split rosters, such superstars continue to get such opportunities.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2. Expectations Subverted</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2019/10/064_RAW_10142019dg_1869--f8e38224c8731672c90a6c91526894d3.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via WWE</figcaption></figure>



<p>It was reported this weekend that WWE will try to change things for the draft part two. The first part was a massive let down due to very few wrestlers actually changing brands, fake war rooms and terrible acting from the &#8220;executives&#8221;. The draft order was also leaked which made things even worse. WWE didn&#8217;t change much this week, except making a few changes to the leaked draft order.</p>



<p>The two draft episodes are a far cry from the draft episodes of the past, which could be due to WWE scrapping the authority figures in their programming. The Evil Authority angle has become boring, but it&#8217;s necessary for a draft lottery.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3. Brand Split Dead Before It Even Begins?</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2019/10/304_PreTape_10112019ej_0039--bc402d3fed99659a777916bf3689f6bd.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via WWE</figcaption></figure>



<p>Bray Wyatt vs Seth Rollins in a Falls Count Anywhere match was announced for Crown Jewel, and with both the superstars on different shows following the draft, we could see a version of Wild Card Rule appear once again. If WWE intends to continue this rivalry, both the superstars will appear on RAW and SmackDown, which will essentially be the death of the brand split before it even begins.</p>


<p>[adace-ad id=&#8221;5206&#8243;]</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>4. The Rebirth Of RAW Tag Team Division</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2019/10/142_RAW_10142019rf_2101--d73e7df9b4a88bdb93248576b6de5b9b.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via WWE</figcaption></figure>



<p>The Viking Raiders, an established tag team, actually won the tag titles, defeating the random team of Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. The former NXT Champions received a tremendous reaction following their win which is a good sign for their future. The two big men are still undefeated on the main roster and NXT, and will surely be a major force in the tag team division of RAW.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>5. Lacey Evans Is a Babyface?</strong></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.wwe.com/f/styles/gallery_img_l/public/all/2019/10/268_RAW_10142019dg_4982--c81e60602f45612e4ad6e78ad6238dc3.jpg" alt=""/><figcaption>Image via WWE</figcaption></figure>



<p>For some reason, WWE turned Kairi Sane and Asuka heel, while narcissistic Lacey Evans and Natalya are babyfaces.</p>



<p>WWE had the potential to build an ultra heel with Lacey Evans, who naturally evokes boos from the audience, and Kairi Sane is a superstar who receives applause from the crowd whenever she performs. It is unclear what WWE is trying with Evans, but it won&#8217;t work! However, The Kabuki Warriors getting back to back wins in recent weeks is a great sign, and the Women&#8217;s Tag Team Championships are finally becoming relevant.</p>
