Raw's main event

At this moment in time, RAW has about 4 real main event players.

John Cena, Triple H, Randy Orton and the Big Show.

And while you have a great supporting cast that are ready to make that jump to main event status (Mark Henry, Jack Swagger, MVP, Miz) there just not at that level yet when you can say “wow that guy is going to beat (insert main event name) for the title!

The point I’m trying to put over is that WWE has reached a dilemma. While the main event players on RAW at the moment at the biggest draws in the company, their feuds between each other don’t seem as fresh as some other show’s are producing at the moment. Sure Cena and Orton again could last a few PPV if done right, but relatively we have seen it all before.

Moreover these wrestler’s are needed in the main spotlight to ensure that their merchandising and name value is kept up. Keeping these players’s in the main event scene is usually good for business. So this usually means that the mid card have to push themselves up onto the scene. It’s been done before, but usually main event status is only really given after a win over another main event wrestler. And with only 4 on Raw that are healthy, this could be seen as a problem due to lack of time/ space.

So what’s a solution? We’ll WWE invented it last year, which helped produce Jeff hardy as a main event player.

The scramble match

Yes we all know about this type of match, but lest we remember back at unforgivin last year were Smackdown only had 4 main event players. One was injured and the other was just coming back from injury, and one was just doing nothing.

So what does WWE do? They take 4 prospect superstars, throw them into a match with their biggest star Triple H, and watch what emerges.

Sure hardy was the only one to really prosper out of that match, but in that sense, that match alone created 6 months of storylines. It helps the long build up to Jeff’s title win, and kept the title scene fresh.

So while at the moment you can’t see any type of scramble match happening to soon. Be sure WWE has something cooking up there selves when it comes evaluating. Because sooner or later there going to have to.
