In the past, there were many instances WWE changing the script of Raw ahead of the show. WWE Chairman Vince McMahon have reportedly done this before the show goes on air. It seems that the same thing have been reportedly happened on this week’s Raw.
According to the PWInsider, WWE have ripped up the script of the Raw on the day of the show, just before it goes on air. So, that’s the reason we have seen several rematches on this week’s Monday Night Raw.
“There was yet again a lot of ripping up of the script of Raw all day before they went on the air, which led to quite a few rematches this week. A lot of the first hour of the show wasn’t set in stone until shortly (as in 35-45 minutes) before they went on the air tonight.”
On this week’s Monday Night Raw, we have seen Drew McIntyre vs. Kofi Kingston to determine #1 contender for WWE Championship but that match ended in double disqualification after Bobby Lashley and MVP interference. Later, Adam Pearce made this rematch for next week’s Raw.
NEXT MONDAY on #WWERaw@TrueKofi collides with @DMcIntyreWWE and the winner will challenge @fightbobby for the #WWEChampionship at #HIAC!
