It’s time for the WWE and Vince McMahon to wake up and fix Monday Night RAW. Here are five easy ideas that can help them do just that. 

The WWE clearly treats Smackdown as their “A” show these days, but that doesn’t mean RAW can’t be just as entertaining. Vince McMahon and the company’s brain trust need to stop ignoring their former flagship program. Monday Night RAW needs to be fixed immediately before viewers tune out for good.

The good news for WWE is that the company doesn’t need to enact any major overhauls to improve the product on Monday night. The RAW roster still has plenty of untapped talent. It can use a few key additions but redeploying the right superstars in the right spot can correct most of the show’s ills.

WWE officials need to pay close attention to the following give suggestions if they want to get RAW going again. It’s time for Monday night to become as important to the company as Friday nights. Without delay, here are five immediate moves the WWE can make to improve the situation.

5. Make Rhea Ripley chase the title

Ripley has all the tools required to become one of the best WWE Women’s Champions in the company’s history. The problem is they rushed her journey to the top of the mountain on RAW. She simply showed up, challenged Asuka, and defeated here at Wrestlemania to win the belt.

That did Ripley’s character development a major disservice. Fans don’t have a clear understanding of what drives her other than a pursuit of gold. Her upcoming feud with Charlotte Flair will give WWE writers a golden opportunity to give her character more depth. Dropping the belt to Flair and chasing it for a few months could be the best thing to happen for Ripley in the long term.
